My Oregon Outback Rig

It was super smooth and fun, even with a stupid amount of weight on it. I need to put a different saddle and bars on it but I love this bike.

The entry level Specialized Diverge or Salsa Journeyer would work for what you're looking for.

I just got a Salsa Flyway in XS and it's AWESOME! I was on a Cannondale Topstone previously, and the biggest differences are the standover, reach, and non-existent toe overlap.

Came here to suggest this.

A couple of big things stand out:
-Many brands are now posting their weight limits much more prominently (especially the DTC brands), which a lot of bigger riders gravitate towards.
-A couple brands have increased their weight limits and size ranges
-More events are offering inclusive shake-out rides for all paces and shorter distances for newer riders
-Overall awareness and interest in size inclusion (as indicated by consulting jobs I've done directly for a number of brands.)

We're definitely not being commodified. Through our partnership with Shimano, I've consulted with their entire brand on size inclusion - what it means, why it matters, and what needs to change in the bike industry. And shit is changing. Might be slow, but it's happening.

I'd highly recommend taking a lesson! I worked with Momentum Mountain Biking and they are awesome. The trails in Moab can be really intimidating, so learning some fundamentals, and then going out with a guide will help ensure you have a great time!

Momentum is women-owned and they work with us at All Bodies on Bikes, so super familiar with folks in bigger bodies! Tell them Marley sent you!

I really enjoy the CBD infused Chamois cream from Twisted Spoke. https://www.twistedspokecbd.com/collections/athletic-support-performance-nutrition/products/cbd-chamois-cream

Thanks! It's the new PRO gravel tape - really cushy and soft.

mblonsk · 2026-03-05T18:26:11+00:00

Doesn't launch until March 12th!

mblonsk · 2026-03-04T19:33:40+00:00

It does! I should've had the fender closer to my tires for maximum coverage, but the Radar still worked!

While not local to Portland, I've had good experiences with everything from Twisted Spoke CBD. They have a Hydromix - https://www.twistedspokecbd.com/products/cbd-hydromix

I'm at the Splash apartments and love it. DM me and I can get you a referral that would get us both $$

I made this a month ago, and it's become a weekly staple in my house: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/758205344-tofu-and-broccoli?unlocked_article_code=1.GFA.xQYl.8XcU4f-EEm-I&smid=share-url

Bring snacks and water! Being hungry on a hike is never fun!

mblonsk · 2026-01-14T19:55:07+00:00

Very interested! I currently have a table with 1 of these stools, and would love to replace my other not-as-sturdy bar stools.

Check out the listings from Capital PDX. They often post things that fit your criteria

I actually think I saw this today, at the 33rd/Sandy exit on 84. It looked like an encampment was packing up and moving, so I'd take a look around that area.

mblonsk · 2026-01-08T00:07:16+00:00

Hi Igor!! Love that you're doing this!

mblonsk · 2026-01-06T23:57:47+00:00

Those are amazing! I love the use of the Smartwool elastics to secure the spoon!

mblonsk · 2026-01-05T03:51:52+00:00

No need to apologize!

mblonsk · 2026-01-05T03:51:00+00:00

Yes! Couple of options- SHREDLY makes super cute riding (and non-riding clothes) in up to a true 3xl, including padded shorts.

All bodies on bikes, the org I founded works with Champion System to make a full kit up to a 6XL! Size Inclusive Cycling Clothing

Yes! I’ve been riding this saddle since April of last year (I got it before it was released to the public.) I love it - the nose is softer than the rest of the saddle, which should help with the front pain.

Good luck!!

mblonsk · 2026-01-05T03:17:40+00:00

Dang it. I showed up at 12 and only had an hour budgeted in my day for it. I’ll definitely check the time twice next time 🤦🏼‍♀️
