My bolt is sitting on the desk right in front of me. I've had it for two years now and other than a software bug with the turn by turn being a bit off I haven't had any problems at all with it. And...

NP. Even though they say they are Keo compatible, I found that my old Keo cleats didn't fit, and my new Assioma cleats don't fit in my Keos. When I needed new cleats I ordered the Assioma branded...

My understanding is that the cruiser rides are no longer permitted in the park itself, but start beyond the ranger station. They take you to the top and then back down for the ride. And yes, it is...

At the hairpins the grades are steep on the actual ride. It just seemed too steep when I was on the bike and I couldn't turn the pedals anymore. RidewithGPS doesn't show it being that steep either. ...

Go visit Floyd Landis' place in Leadville, Colorado. It's at 10500' I think. It is the true Rocky Mountain High. I coincidentally have a bottle from Floyd's that I got in New Jersey the other day....

That doesn't sound like it is going to work. Are you sure the spacing matches? A 26" frameset is likely 135 spacing at the rear but a 700c single/fixed wheel is likely 130. Maybe a shop will be able...

I always figure that if one store can do, they all can. Nobody is giving them away so there is always some profit even with a discount.

I was just on the phone with the cable company, all set to...

That sounds really bad. When I was looking at bikes 15 years ago I had my eye on a Cervelo, but then I started reading about problems with the BB separating on the particular model I wanted. I...

Absolutely not true. Pretty PEOPLE climb better. I'm good for at least another 100 watts behind someone pretty.

Rouvy has a live video simulation of the climb of Haleakala. This is a really good way to see the ride in advance, but you'll need a trainer to try it. Rouvy just released a Mac version that will...

I used a cell phone for a few rides for navigation and tracking and every time I did that it died before the end of the ride. I then tried carrying a charging battery, but then it was in my pocket...
