There's a good reason Bicycling Magazine shares its initials with bowel movements.

I only read BM while having a BM. (comes in handy if you run out of toilet paper).

I had subscribed about two years ago. I let it expire. Relentless Fred Drivel. I get their emails and just linked off their website.

It's all drivel in the cycling press. I read Velo News and Cycling News online, that's about it.

Pcad's new favorite mags are Vintage Guitar Magazine and Premier Guitar magazine.

The New Pcad® rocks. And plays the blues of course.

That's too Fredly even for me. Here's a publication that's a good match for you...

everybody falls.



Bicycling Mag = the 41



see the article on the 5 best tips for improving your climbing.............

So, are you saying blood thinner therapy has created not a "3rd gen" Pcad, but a "new" Pcad ?

Oh, and too keep thread OT, I used to get Bicycling Mag only because it was part of package deal
with an event registration.

Muhahahahaha!!!

You idiots are lucky I even post here anymore. In my new guitar slinger guise, I am too cool for this Fredfest.

So what's the guitarist version of a Fred, then?

We"re not worthy! :)

You thought that article was about you didn't you?

I fell 100 times on my first outing with clipless while mountain biking, you're a better person than I.

I've only ever fallen due to clipless pedals once (on a road bike). I wasn't moving, and no one was around to witness my shame :)

Of course, my luck I managed to get a small bit of road rash on my knee from that incident, so I had to own up to it any time somebody asked about it.

I may have fallen a time or two (hundred) more than once when I first started clipless on the mtb.

That would be me.

Correct.

Then it didn't happen. If a tree falls in the forest....... :D

Do you play Beatles songs?

Is that a request?

Road clipless fail = 41

MTB clipless fail, beginner and lent some slack...

The Fail is pervasive in the 41, and of course, Utter.

They unclip at 15 degrees, not 10 degrees....

I'd rather have road clipless fail than this:

Leaning your bike against the wall and looking and admiring it. Gust of wind knocks it over. Rear Derailleur hanger bends.

You don't notice and shift into largest gear: :trainwreck:

You're right, shifting into the largest gear is embarrassing.

Of course you can adjust the release angle but who wants to go through all that trouble.....
