Good work on the bike Plommer. Any bike that you ride is a good bike in my opinion. Nothing makes you feel more like a little kid than jumping on a bike and going for a rip. If you keep it up you will continue to get stronger and stronger and will be able to go further and with less pain.

I have been biking in downtown Toronto for the last 25 years... You wanna talk about crazy...I will see if I can find a Go Pro to use for a day or two to film one of my average rides...Most of you would shriek with fear to be on a bicycle in this city. Not for the faint of heart.
I have been biking to work a lot lately about 7-8 miles (each way) + backpack full of tools + rush hour... The other day I rode to work and it was literally bumper to bumper traffic for the entire 12km...

Is that a cup holder Plommer?

 

[Cami]

Mr Q, how long does it take you to ride that far.

I kind of want to ride my bike now.

 

[mrquincy]

...bout 35 minutes Cami...

 

[Cami]

well that's not bad at all!

 

[Blitty]

Plom, I'm most likely the main bike guy at this forum. Direct future questions towards me.

Can you imagine Tron trying to ride the mean streets where I'm at..

 

[Blitty]

Well MrQ and I are the obvious seasoned vets here.

 

[mrquincy]

I raced xc mountain bike for a few seasons for fun and I still compete in the odd 24 hour team relay... turning 45 this year so I am trying to keep going as a lot of people my age (and younger) just give up on cycling..

Is that a cup holder Plommer?

Yeah its a cup holder.

It was there when I got the bike. I'll be removing it as its basically useless.


PS: My ass is now comfortable on the seat.

Quincy did you watch "Slaying The Badger" on 30 for 30?

 

[mrquincy]

I have not seen it yet Tron. I did watch the Armstrong Story though. Ty for the heads up, I will try to watch that one too.
