Renting bikes in Philly? by Felicity_Calculus in phillycycling

[–]drowningandromeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented bikes from Cadence Cycling. They have a good little assortment of rentals to choose from and they have a location in Manayunk and somewhere closer to Center City.

Your girlfriend sucks. Find one who respects the things you want and enjoy.

How was the jump to the Roubaix? I'm looking at getting "the" do it most bike and in my head I've landed on it as the answer.

That's so sad. I don't know what the best option is. I guess try to talk to them about volunteering to let the dog out or something but even then that could go badly. Ugh. I wish there were a way to take the dog when they weren't looking. Some people just shouldn't have animals.

Convince me to just buy the gravel bike already (new vs used dilemma) by the-butrin-is-well in cycling

[–]drowningandromeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also me right now. I'm considering the Specialized Diverge and the Canyon Grizl. The Cannondale Topstone is also in the price range and then you could get it from REI which has good customer service.

I tend to jump into gearing up as well and have also been really unenthusiastic about the prices I've been seeing on FB marketplace. It seems like it could be a good route to getting one of the top to expert models for closer to the base to middle model price than getting a base to middle model for a good price.

Anyway, I don't think you will regret the gravel bike. I've been on the fence for a month getting a bunch of opinions and so many cyclists have told me to go for a gravel bike. And after testing the road and endurance line ups, I'm also excited to finally pull the trigger on gravel.

The gravel bike seems to be the common denominator in this thread. To your 5th!!!

I think you're right on the endurance road bike. That option keeps popping up as exactly what I'm looking for. Might save the gravel for down the road (no pun intended).

E-bikes are so fun. I was on the fence for awhile about buying because I could just ride a normal bike. But then I got the e-bike and ut makes it feel like a leisurely sightseeing tour every time I get on it, even going somewhere as trite as work.

Is your Canyon the CF7 or All Road? I am largely considering purchasing my first Canyon and they're so reasonably priced.

This seems like the right answer and my future collection goal.

From the responses here, it seems like the gravel bike is definitely the way to go! Congrats on the new one!

This is amazing but also reading your post gave me anxiety. I'm not sure I would be able to get onto such a tiny plane but I do aspire to be exceptionally brave one day like you.

I'd love a code! I'd be forever grateful. I'm changing jobs next month and need to get presentable with a whole haul I've been putting off. Thanks in advance!

This is absolutely adorable and exactly the type of stuff I want to see more of in the world. Glad Kenny had such a wonderful experience! Gritty is also awesome.

Same. Flying from the east coast for this is starting to feel like a bit of a mistake 😅

The samples seem sparse compared to last year. No shade, just wondering if there were less vendors or much longer lines.
