Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The"BF Approved" Thread...

I've come across some products that have been revelations for me personally.
So, I wanted to start a "rave" thread for those products that are great.
Granted, I'm sure some cynical members might charge "shill! shill!",
but I trust BF members to be intelligent enough to know the difference.

With that, I'd like to present the "BF Approved Thread".

So, what's good out there? What do you recommend?
What have you picked up that you really like?
What's a great a great "bang for the buck"?
What's worth the extra coin?

Sidi Ergo 2's.

After a few miles, I realized how much my feet "weren't" hurting and the lack of hot spots.
They just felt great. And I could feel the power transfer from core to my legs to the bike.
You hear a lot about a product and wonder if it's all hype, but Sidi's ATS (are the shiznet).

I'll add another shoe to the mix to try to get this thread going in the right direction:


Specalized Pro Carbon. My knees and ankles like the angled foot beds so much I can't do more than about 10mi on my old mtb SPD shoes.

Specialized Toupe.

After years of thinking that I just had to deal with a certain level of discomfort the Toupe has made riding much more enjoyable.

SRAM red black crank. Rings look a lot better in black. IMHO

Someone I know got one of the saddles sold by these folks. A picture is below. It's called a Selle An-Anatomica Titanico. I tried it and it was very comfortable.

Hey 2ndGen,

I don't understand your signature. What does the video have to do with "pride" and Lent?
