I dunno if bamboo's been done yet. Stick with reclaimed lumber if you're going green.

This goes for The Helmet Thread as well!!!
Sorry, helmets are not optional with my friends or any friends they know. If you show up at the trailhead without one we're putting one on you or you're going home!

You didn't get the memo? One glove is the new no-gloves.

I'm not clear on this. Can you explain to me why one would need to defend their pedal choice?

Pretty sure he was referring to the different kinds of helmets, not whether or not to use one.

because the type of pedals i use is a direct reflection of me as a human, my worth and values, and to challenge the pedals on my bicycle is to challenge all i believe in.
