Nice day today, no headwind on the way home! I managed 22.6 miles on my old Puch. I have been riding the old bike lately as it seems to be easier on my knees. It has a shorter crank (170 vs. 175) and because it is a double it is about 1/2" narrower than the triple on my Giant. I am wondering if this is why the outside of my knee hurts sometimes on the Giant. I can ride the Giant one day with my knee hurting and then the next day ride the Puch and my knee feels better as I ride. Weird!
Jim, I have the same 60 degree rule! Anything in that range is starting to be no fun, so my motivation is lacking those days. I hope no one from the Northeast or Canada forums reads this, we'll really look like wimps then!
