Yeah, decades ago I learned that lesson (guessing lady's weight) the hard way.
If a tire shows inflation range from say 50 to
In Steve's defense (as amusing as this has been), I'm thinking his only
real error was in mixing his measures. Perhaps, Steve, you meant to say
'50kg heavier' as you offered your post-breakfast weight as 100kg.
Perhaps it is time for my neighbors south of the 49th to revisit a full

The van stripes make sense if you’re an A Team fan!
At 175 pounds, I would run those tires about 40 psi, and fill them up when

Evan, I did a couple decades of gooped chains. Maybe not Phil Oil gooped, but
when a person becomes A Serious Cyclist the first two things they learn are
their saddle is too low and their chain is squeaky. What's next? Saddle goes

When I got my first bike, as a grownup, after not riding at all since
childhood, I oiled my chain with Phil Tenacious Oil. Because that’s the only

I ought to have known that I should have gone looking for some scissors instead
of using a large, heavy knife to trim a zip tie. I'd modified a bell in order
to zip tie it to a 1 1/8 steerer. The zip tie put up some resistance so when
the knife finally made it through, it con
