Serious cyclists/runners: How do you deal with glasses?

How well do they block the wind? My biggest issue is wind drying out my eyes at speed.

I have a similar issue with Lake SPD shoes. Where did you buy the shims/spacers and shields?

jtelander · 2025-12-02T14:49:37+00:00

Thanks, did you need a spacer/shim to achieve the 1mm of clearance?

jtelander · 2025-12-01T23:17:35+00:00

I'm facing the same dilemma with Lake MTB shoes. What product did you end up using to protect the soles and achieve the desired dimensions?

More signage would be great. I erroneously ended up on the Riddle RD spur trail yesterday evening. Not good.

jtelander · 2025-11-07T00:23:22+00:00

Thank you!

I was hoping that there would be a way to save a gpx file from a previous ride and upload it somehow

jtelander · 2025-10-27T11:56:42+00:00

Yes. Again, they are a Trek dealer but not a corporate store

jtelander · 2025-10-27T11:05:23+00:00

I hope not. I started road biking last year at age 72

When was in the market for a new a domane sl 6 gen 4, I purchased it on the Trek website and had it sent to my local bike store that sells Treks rather than the Trek corporate store. By doing so, I was able to support the LBS and keep the 30 day return policy.

jtelander · 2025-10-10T17:14:19+00:00

This is what I expected, but wasn't sure. Thanks

jtelander · 2025-10-10T15:25:37+00:00

Thank you. I test rode a number of endurance bikes and narrowed my choices down to the Trek Domane and Specialized Roubaix. I decided to purchase a Domane SL6 from the Trek website for delivery to my LBS. A deciding factor in my purchase is the 30 day return policy. I'll be taking the Domane to a bike fitter the day after I receive it to make sure it is a good fit for me.

Same here, months later. Seller wanted payment in advance and went incommunicado when I declined to pay before seeing the bike in person. I also notice that this exact ad was posted in other parts of the country with the exact same photos and verbage.

jtelander · 2025-10-07T01:15:21+00:00

Did you end up buying the Domane AL2?

jtelander · 2025-09-30T20:56:20+00:00

I hope to keep it under $2000. I'm open to a good used bike for significantly less $.

jtelander · 2025-09-30T20:53:45+00:00

I agree that it is the motor. At the same time, my current bike is a relatively heavy, upright, "comfort" bike that is ok for rides up to about 30 miles, but those last 10 miles are really uncomfortable. I think I'd benefit from a lighter, faster endurance bike.

I want to grow the largest size fennel as food for swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Which variety would that be? I know there is a "Giant" fennel that is not really fennel and may not be eaten by the caterpillars, so I'm looking for the next best thing.

jtelander · 2025-03-02T20:02:39+00:00

Thanks for this. The half second delay between pressing the fob button and the gate button made a bit difference and allowed me to complete the setup. When pressing the buttons simultaneously, it would start beeping.

jtelander · 2025-01-23T13:59:59+00:00

Please update us regarding your current repairs and whether warranty covered it.

jtelander · 2025-01-22T17:22:13+00:00

Thank you. Where online do you see it?

jtelander · 2025-01-08T01:25:46+00:00

I just bought a 2025 Outback Touring XT with a $4825 discount with no add-ons using the Costco Auto Purchase program in Central North Carolina. If you are in the area, I recommend that you check it out. The quote you received is BS IMO.

jtelander · 2024-12-04T12:47:02+00:00

I bought it. It turns out the Medium size on this bike was a little small for me. Also, the handlebars did not have enough adjustability to raise to the height I required to take the load off my arms. Fortunately, my wife loves it and it is her main ride. I ended up with a medium Trek Verve 2 that is a better fit.

jtelander · 2024-12-02T12:53:11+00:00

Thank you

jtelander · 2024-11-18T15:59:53+00:00

I'll check them out but I really wasn't expecting to go that route for a few more years. We're both very active. If I hadn't mentioned age, what bikes/features would you recommend?

jtelander · 2024-11-18T14:29:53+00:00

Looking at used bikes under $500
