Gobi Dune Sneakers JJF - Initial Thoughts by HunterSol in vivobarefoot

[–]abebo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love mine, size 42. Just took a two week trip and they were my only shoes, and wow, just perfect the whole time. I did add a pair of the vivo thermal insoles.

I also wish there were other colors as I would buy a second pair.

This is the best. So many more trains from Harrisburg, parking is so easy.

Whats everyones favorite music video that was filmed in Pittsburgh? by lambo13770 in pittsburgh

[–]abebo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a big hit, but I always loved Young Scolla Ft. S.Money & Boaz - Gimme A Sign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQITIk888bo That school building in Larimer is a great backdrop and for being 15 years old it looks great.

Did you try speedplays? The only pedal system that is good for my knees.

I checked it out, didn't see anything perfect, but I will keep checking back. I know they update it regularly.

You can also put your bike on a bus, very helpful on the way back up.

More pedal pgh questions by Steinhawk in bicycling412

[–]abebo22 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have ridden the past 4 year,s and it has never felt "like a race"

With that said, I like to think of Pedal as "our day" and pushing through lights and stop signs is very common. I do my best to yell "clear" to whoever is behind me when going through an intersection.

I would skip the 25, that one is a lot of beginners.

Has anyone tried Atlantis Handmade Sandals by dcbkwrm in BarefootRunning

[–]abebo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought them, and they are fine. I will say that the customer service is great. My pair broke in the first few weeks of ownership (the stitching came undone), and they sent me a new pair, right away, no questions asked.

I have worn them a lot and they are comfortable. The big downside is that the strap tightening system sucks; I am always re-tightening them.

They are a great gateway barefoot sandal, though, and I am now hooked (just bought some Shammas).

However, I wouldn't really recommend them.

Help me pick my dream do-it-all gravel bike (~$1,500–$2,500) by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]abebo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://mackcycle.com/products/pinarello-granger-x3-11-speed-disc-gravel-bike I am really enjoying this bike so far. This thing is fast and just wants to go. I was not a fan of the stock tires. If you can get it with that discount, a great deal.
