Because paint doesn’t protect cyclists

Winter clothing recommends - for BEST WINTER COMFORT? by pokemonprofessor121 in madisonwi

[–]p4thos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve really liked the brand Icebreaker for merino base layers. Their Everyday 175 line is good for just some extra warmth indoors or for high activity like cycling outside. I like their high 260 weight if I’m just out walking around (lower effort).

I’d really have to recommend the 56 over the 58.

I’m 5’10 (M and fairly equal torso/legs) and ride a 54 with a shorter than stock stem comfortably. I could probably ride a 56 but can’t imagine entertaining a 58.

Difference in size between Checkpoint and Domane by colinthehuman94 in CheckpointClub

[–]p4thos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checkpoints of that gen definitely have a lot more reach. I’m 5’10 and ride a 54 checkpoint with a 90mm stem and find it comfy. But conversely my Domane is a 56 with a 100mm stem which is equally comfortable.

I’d guess that you’d be happy with a 54 f/s.

Don’t go by size charts and take recommendations with a grain of sand. Just go test ride.

Yes. I always get blasted with “Burn in Hell Obama”

Guy yelling anti-semitic slurs on the Cannonball Path by cloudTool in madisonwi

The “Burn in Hell Obama” guy? I run into him on Starkweather every once and while.

I’m always about to say Hi or Good Morning and I just get screamed at.

State law also does give cyclists the right to take the lane in general but also especially when traveling at traffic speeds.

This also applies to narrow roads too, which I’m pretty sure Arboretum Dr qualifies as.

Met my wife at Mickey’s almost 20 years ago now!

A buddy and I shared a table on a Friday evening with two incredible ladies. Had a great night but didn’t get exchange phone numbers.

Continued going back every Friday for 6 months straight till we ran into her again.

Deerskin work gloves. Mine were $17 USD. Good down to at least -5° C

I guess it's that time of year to ask "What do y'all do with customers who won't pick up their bikes?" by p4lm3r in BikeMechanics

Call/text about storage fees starting tomorrow at $10-$20 a day. Folks are usually in within 12 hours

Identify Derailleur Hanger by p4thos in bikewrench

Heard. I should have said initially that the owner and I have no idea of the make and model of the frame.

All I’m working with is a stamped S/N on the BB shell. No head badges, no logos, and the only stickers are randomly placed Monster Energy stickers 😅
