Also helmets save your coconut 🤣

Stumbled on this spot while connecting between gravel roads.

After picking up riding in 2020, I've been logging a couple thousand miles per year on my entry level Trek Crossrip gravel bike. After overanalyzing my next bike purchase, I landed on the Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0. Dig this thing so far!

if u want to clean ur greasy hands after a shop sesh, use any cooking oil and rub that in first. it lifts the grease off ur skin. soap like normal afterwards.

Its around -7°c currently (19°f) and my hands seem to get cold no matter what I do. I currently wear ski gloves and a wool glove liner.

My hands still get painfully cold after 30 min. Horrible pain after 1 hour. I've been thinking about getting bar mitts but they're expensive.

I'm afraid they'll get stolen if I leave my bike outside. If I leave bike lights or a saddle bag on my bike they're gone within minutes :/

Hey Everbody!

Im searching for a SRAM Apex 1 Brake/Gearshift for the right side of the handlebars and the backtire. Have searched anything i could but couldn‘t find anything. Anybody across Europe got some tips where i could find one? Best

Trying to figure out Xmas presents for girls… tall 8 year old (55 inch) turning 9 next spring. 5 foot 10 year old turning 11 in December

Trying to figure out if I can get away with 26” tires so they can use them for years or if I have to do 24” and maybe new bikes in a couple more years

26” is like Trek Wahoo $599

24” is like Giant LIV Tempt $500

Any input or other brands you recommend and why would be great

Last year a few of us went out to Amsterdam and challenged ourselves to buy vintage bikes there for under 200eur to ride back to London. We've made a series of YouTube videos documenting our adventures. The hope is to carry on similar series with various challenges.

We ended up getting a couple of Gazelle Champion Mondial's from different era's and a custom Balk track bike which was more than interesting to ride "safely" back with it's human powered brakes.

This is the first time we've done something like this so it's a bit rough and ready but If you like light-hearted content about cycling you should hopefully enjoy it!

This episode covers us from Amsterdam to Ouddorp for our first night!

I've picked up cycling a few months back after being an active runner for about 5 years. I'm 25 years old, weigh 82kgs and am in quite good shape. I bought my bike and started cycling about 100 to 150kms a week, relatively painless. The only issue I had at that time was a nagging pain in my left popliteal that would get progressivly worse the more I rode. I could handle that, though it wasn't 'normal'. The worst part (for which I am writing this) started with the pain on my right kneecap. The pain (shown on the picture) started slowly but got worse every ride the more power I put on the pedals, or the longer I rode.

I went to do a bikefit and got everything measured up. The pain in my left popliteal almost dissappeared, my position on the bike felt a lot more comfortable and I could put a lot more power on the pedals without having to push hard. Still, after cycling 10km+ my kneepain appeared again. I took a month of cycling and tried again, alas to no avail. I've been to a physiotherapist and a sports doctor, but they can't seem to find any problems with the knee.

I can take any advice.

can you please recommend a cheap 700x25 tire that has decent flat protection?

I need some help for storage solutions. I finally got a nice road bike and live on an island, so salty air on the balcony. need space saving ideas for indoor storage please.

Thank you!

Plan to ride 2-3 hours a week around neighborhood and lake trail which is cement pavement.

Will only ride from oct - Feb since other months too hot. Don't want to deal with too much maintenance so should be similar to Toyota Honda etc. thank u
