Cool thing happened on the ride to the trolley last night. I passed this guy that I have seen with his bike on the trolley before. Youve seen this guy too. Jeans and ball cap on a BigBox dual shock mountain bike grunting along at a deathmarch cadence. I passed him a mile short of the station, and got there almost a full minute first.
When he got there, he approached me and asked me if I knew anything about the gears on the bike. It gave me a chance to explain cadence to him, also to recomend that he get a man-purse like me, and throw his jeans in there and wear shorts for the ride, make sure his tires were pumped to the max etc.
Advocacy on a small scale (Was also careful not to dis the WalMart special he was riding)
