Members Capsule Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 oh and for anyone making the switch from flats to clipless... go to a park and ride around clip in and out, track stand... learn how to eject etc. but in the end, you will probably fall but the pain with accelerate the muscle memory to eject. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aristotle Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've got a bike, but my current city isn't very bike friendly. I do a lot of walking though, and I think I prefer walking to biking even if it is slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reauchambeau Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 I went golfing in Whistler yesterday, the Sea to Sky Highway is about a 1.5 hour drive from Vancouver. it was non stop cyclists the whole way, it's a really scenic highway, paradise for a hardcore cyclist.

Members Mr. Eff Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 I ride to work every day, but it's just 3 miles out and back. I spent 2.5 hours riding my full suspension 29er yesterday and rode 32 miles in the cold and rain on my road bike today. I'm training for a 100k mountain bike race in NH in August. Good times...

Members JRBain Posted May 23, 2012 Members Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just a couple of rides out of necessity, as ever. My wife (who does the driving) was away, and the church that we attend most of the time (at which she works) is about 20 miles away from where we live at the moment. And I went up on the Saturday as well for a quick music practice... Previous weekend I rode to a Scout camp (commemorating the Diamond Jubilee); about 50-60 miles in that, and the one before that I went to another Scout event; probably about 35 miles both ways. Or should have been; I took some wrong turnings and got hopelessly lost on the way up. And normally (or at least, until this Friday ) I've been doing about 35 miles of commute each day during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I do tho, I'll be bikin to work. Try some nail polish remover. If that doesn't work, try acetone but test in an inconspicuous area first.If that still doesn't work, paint thinner will do it. Whatever you do though, don't try to sand it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using graffiti remover and it seems to be doing a good job, the paint job underneath is holding up well, just the small nooks and whatnot are a pain in the ass, and I ran out of the stuff. So part of it is laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
