Anyone carry multiple tube sizes in case you have the opportunity to help someone?

I ran into a guy on my trail today who had a punctured tire. He is a college student and was commuting on a mountain bike. I have an extra tube for my bike, but unfortunately it wasn't something that...

Cooldown rituals?

I'm a newbie and still will be for quite some time. But, I am already starting to develop some cooldown rituals. I'm curious what others do to wind down after a ride that they find healthy for both...

This is actually a great possible solution. My oldest runs track and cross-country, and he runs every night. I could switch things up by going on a run with him a few nights per week. I can hit two...

How do *you* find time to ride?

I am a husband and father of four (16, 14, 9, and 4 yrs old). I got my first road bike a little over a week ago, and I have ridden every day since I got it.

I want to keep up the habit of riding...

Sunday I rode 5 miles, and my butt hurt.
Monday I rode 2 miles just to take it easy.
Tuesday I rode 7.5 miles, because I didn't want to stop and my butt was feeling good after some adjustments....

This is great perspective, and I love how you mention consistency. Yesterday, I wasn't on a gravel road, but I was on a road with regular but sporadic pot holes on the right side of the road. So, the...

This is a great idea. My seat angle is now flat, but I did scoot it forward a bit, and my 7.5 mile ride yesterday was way more tolerable than my first time out.

But, tonight I'll bring my allen...

I just got my first road bike on Saturday (Fuji Sportif 1.3 Disc), but my most recent purchase was yesterday. I heard about the Garmin Varia RTL515 tail light w/radar. This thing is amazing! I am not...

Oh, awesome. That's great news. I'm definitely not trying to trim too much bike weight until my body is at a more ideal weight. I am making progress, there, but it might take another year.

Yeah, I think this was a big part of it. I'm gonna keep my rides pretty short for the next week or so and gradually add some distance.

Nice! I just did this. Once with just cardboard and once adding some aluminum foil on top of the cardboard. First measurement was 111mm, second was 108mm. So, pretty close both times.

Fuji Bikes any good? My first road bike.

I've been wanting to add a fun exercise to my daily routine. And, because my local bike trail runs directly behind my house, it made sense to get a road bike and become a cyclist! I rode BMX all...
