They spelled droped wrong. ;)

Guys, did you notice that your wife/GF/significant other would rather ride than have sex with you? Guess the whole spandex, shaved legs, mushroom head, and farmer's tan thing ain't working, eh?

At least 10% of respondents who selected "the thought of finishing last" on the climbing question really think about eclairs while climbing. They're just ashamed to admit it.

Clipless fall happened to me when one of my feet was already unclipped; I look back to one side to check traffic and lost my balance and fell to the side that was still clipped in. It was embarrassing.

Never had an issue unclipping until last year when for some reason I decided to increase the tension on my pedals. Guess what happened on the very next group ride.

Why did you increas the tension?

Somehow, this thread lead me to picture one in clipped in to ski's w/cycling shoes or clipped in to pedals with ski boots.

Go figure?

Interesting data...


This question should have been written as "Hairy legs on male cyclists -- nay or... trick question, there's no other option, commit and shave already."

Please note that Cervelo didn't even crack the top 5 of Most Popular Fredly Rides.

Can't you read?

That is classified.

Insofar as I am concerned, this is a good thing.

This is the kind of insightful analysis only available on the 41.

Dear 66%,
You are all too fat for this sport.
Sincerely,

Most common Bicycling Magazine article title since 1998:

Lance's Climbing Secrets!

Few Freds are self aware

4 times that I can remember and a few almosts as I got used to them in the beginning. Does sliding on ice and landing on your shoulder/elbow count?

I too have never fallen with clipless pedals from not "clipping out" in time.

I have, however, not released a toe strap early enough and have fallen that way. This would be 1985. Does that count as the same thing?

I went clipless in '87 or '88... can't remember.

A bit of a setback with the PE/DVT?

I agree, my swap to speedplays wasn't an easy one, the tension is very high, but I didn't have any issues because I had rode clipless for a year.

Now my girlfriend STARTED her clipless ordeal with speedplays....it was kind of ridiculous, first off, shes not heavy enough to just clip in, she has to really bounce down on them, she had her first fall ohhhhh about 10 minutes in when she forgot her right leg was clipped in and she went to take a step towards me, she almost took me out as well.

Actually I'm coming off the blood thinners so I can try and hang with the racing kids soon. First race is May 5. Pcad will be Crash Worthy® by then.

If I detect a hint of sarcasm, may I remind you, your expectations are too high for the 41 dwellers.

I didn't know you read Bicycling Magazine, but that explains the Fredliness.

Note that the question was worded "check all that apply". So everyone that had Granddad's old Schwinn in the garage was obligated to check that, even if it wasn't their main bike. Asking "What is your favorite bike" or "What bike do you ride the most" might have been more insightful. (I must admit, I even own a Schwinn.)
