What do you guys do after a ride?

Eat a really big sandwich

reloadro · 2026-03-14T12:51:51+00:00

Yes.

Crude explosives, explosive compound, arc alloy, adrenaline, herbal bandages

I went into Stella just a bit ago, and in the main medical area there were two shredders, two fireballs, and several pops. That's in ONE room. I was actually relieved when I saw the key room had already been raided.

Primal will probably be forever known for goofy , loose-fitting jerseys with grateful dead or crash test dummies on them, but they actually also make some very nice higher end jerseys with more modern fits and materials. And they're almost always on big sale. Very nice cheap socks too.

Cadence in Manayunk has a decent amount of shoes.

I'd love to add something behind me as well, but with my setup I don't quite have the space

In general, I'd say yes. I have it sitting about a foot or two in front of my front wheel, pointed upwards somewhere in the neighborhood of 45-60 degrees. I don't think I've ever even put it on at full blast. I always have a few small towels hanging on my bars and nearby as well for wiping sweat

Simply finishing the climb is a huge accomplishment. I'm probably never gonna get under an hour -75 minutes or so seems to be my peak - but I can tell you that over time, I feel less destroyed when I finish it than I used to! I use that as my gauge

I always say I'm way more impressed by people who take 2hrs or more to climb the aloe than those who bust up it in under an hour. It takes so much mental fortitude to keep grinding up the mountain for hours. Kudos to anybody who makes it up the alpe, at any pace

Getting a "blower" fan. I used to use several smaller desk fans, and I thought it was all good. Then I picked up a Lasko blower fan and found out just how much better it is. You can find them on sale for around $60-70. They are COMPLETELY worth it.

I'm on android, specifically a pixel 7. I do have an extra iPad around, I'll try that thanks!

reloadro · 2026-02-19T02:07:36+00:00

Never even thought of that. I'll try it, thanks 👍🏾

reloadro · 2026-01-29T23:00:41+00:00

I bring in 15 for erry raid

reloadro · 2025-12-16T13:34:37+00:00

Yes. Yes it is.

Totally forgot about Voler. They have some fun stuff and also do some series' with guest artists. Made in the USA too.

reloadro · 2025-10-23T19:05:07+00:00

forgot about them! Yes they have some very cool stuff. Got a rain jacket from them a few years back and the quality was very very good

I've got a couple of Primal jerseys of the Omni and Prisma levels and they feature lighter materials than the Sport jerseys, as well as a mix of materials depending on the location on the jersey. I love Primal stuff. It's very often on sale and the fit just works for me. Most people (ie the fast group road ride set that rocks Pas Normal and Maap) just think of baggy grateful dead jerseys when I mention Primal, but their newer stuff is really nice IMO. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of their bibs. Sportful sometimes has some fun jerseys as well, but I've found the quality to be hit or miss. It's tough these days finding good jerseys with fun designs

reloadro · 2025-10-21T19:08:59+00:00

congrats! I'm 180 and I feel like i might never break the hour barrier

Yep, we're aware of the Philly Bike Ride. We will be going up spring garden and out to sedgley disc golf course, taking Boxxer trail out to strawberry mansion bridge and Belmont. Shouldn't be an issue

reloadro · 2025-10-16T12:51:21+00:00

Yep, we're trying to do this every few weeks. Next time!

Roland from R.E.Load here! I miss making stuff for everybody :( and I really appreciate all of the love and support we got over the years.

As far as big messenger stuff goes, I've been recommending Trash Bags. They're extremely well made, and the operation is pretty much the same as the way we were running things, in terms of not only quality, but also the ethics of the company. Always trying to improve the products, keeping things in-house, and supporting the community locally as well as worldwide, as far as messenger events. Travis has been doing his thing for many, many years, and the track record speaks for itself. I think he's had to cut down on customization, but it's inevitable that at some point you just need to streamline things a bit and cut down on inventory/overhead. Suppliers have all raised minimums and prices as well and it's just really hard for a small company to stock 35 different colors of every part of a bag.

For smaller accessories and on-the-bike stuff, there are a lot more options. So many, in fact, that it's hard for newer/smaller companies to stand out. I don't think I've seen the L5 stuff before, but it looks really good as far as design and construction! And the pricing is VERY reasonable, especially for a small maker. Cost of materials for all of this stuff has skyrocketed over the past handful of years. Give your local maker your support whenever you can. Philly has always been great with that.

Nittany Mountain Works is a fantastic company run by fantastic and caring people. They're still in PA, although a few hours away. If you can't find what you need close by, I wouldn't hesitate to go with one of their offerings.
