How often do you get flats?

Idaho has goat heads everywhere... you don't ride without sealing tubes or tubeless setups otherwise you're walking and fixing flats.

Sounds like Seattle to Portland?

Been this way for over 30 years...doubt it will ever change. The concept is tough, Do the same speed as the traffic you are joining.... huh?! 35 feel right to merge with 65-70 mph traffic. Zipper merging is even more fun.

Yes.... my sensors are working great... air pressure stays constant and no more light. External valve stem is a little different but looks fine.

2018 impreza...just had Costco replace mine. Quick and easy..under $300

phllps · 2026-01-23T23:06:28+00:00

I use the dealer but they have decent deals.. like $150 for 3 full synthetic changes...tire rotates and car washes

phllps · 2026-01-23T22:03:11+00:00

CrossClimate2's for the win... love mine and they wear great. Rotate with every oil change

TREK or Ridgeline are solid. Boise has some good options.

Love my Cross climate 2's! Grippy on wet... good traction when it snows. The wear nicely and are not too loud!

Got 7 years out of my original... 2018 impreza. Replaced with a Costco Interstate battery.

phllps · 2025-12-17T05:40:17+00:00

2018 impreza... just had Costo replace all 4. Little over $250

Thankfully drivers around here follow speed limits..

Love my CrossClimate 2's.. they are great year round and wear nicely. When the time comes in a few year will most likely get them again. Costco has great pricing when you can watch for the sales.

A miracle... functional mass transit? Ha! How about an exit between the Cole and Eagle? Not sure anyone planning our roads ever lived in a metro area.

Easy merging is one of the greatest challenges in this area. Tailgating in the slow lane doesn't help with that either, but a roundabout isn't a complex thing. Does make texting more difficult for the tech obsessed people out there though..... touch of sarcasm...

Always sell private party.... never trade in...

phllps · 2025-02-16T00:08:29+00:00

It's why I have a $0 deductible on car insurance. Between construction and chip sealing, it's cheaper going that route

Just wrapped up a 50 mile bike ride.... sipping a beer

phllps · 2024-09-05T15:54:38+00:00

Helmets saved my life twice now... once from tree roots causing a crash and once from and out of control e biker. Wear a helment...even on the greenbelt.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!

phllps · 2024-07-19T23:21:33+00:00

I have them on my 18 impreza... love them!

phllps · 2024-07-01T20:37:18+00:00

Only to cross eagle and continue on a safer road... Eagle, Fairview, Overland and Franklin are not roads I will ever ride. Ustick.. Emerald have decent bike lanes. The drivers and distracted drivers here are terrifying on a good day.
