I thought I made it clear? I wasn’t expecting anybody to be on my wheel, I glanced over my right shoulder.

Perhaps I didn’t turn my head far enough or perhaps he’d drifted to my 7 or 8 (ie. on a...

The point, regards a stationary cyclist, is that there must come a point at which even the most zen of the posters on here get frustrated. 1mph? 5mph? And it demonstrates everybody is simply drawing...

I’m wondering if:

1) First set of cleats, from Giant store (so highly likely to be genuine), was simply a matter of too much walking and stairs, as you suggest. I didn’t know better.
2) The...
