Cannon_Fodder posted:First, I taught her to stay to my right when we walk. Thanks, she is well behaved on her leash but I got a Bicycle Dog Leash. She is a little afraid of bikes so i'm going to take it slow, with her with the eventual goal of taking short bike rides with her and the side goal of hauling her on a bike dog trailer when me and the wife go camping.

My hybrid bike sucks, but it takes me out of the house and has helped me see that biking is cool and good.

Today i went on a short six mile ride on the road bike and I liked it... Except it murdered my shoulders and wrists. i probably should relax a lil bit and not death grip the handlebar.

TobinHatesYou posted:Most gravel bikes already have reach/stack values that are more upright than endurance road bikes. There's also racier gravel bikes and ones that start approaching MTB geometry as well. Good because i dont think my lovely shoulders and slightly less bad back will appreciate the road bike.

LimburgLimbo posted:Is this your first ride or first ride in a long time? Some of it may just be that your body needs adapting. Don’t know if that’s your plan but don’t necessarily go and immediately drop a ton on money on a new bike after a ride or two when it might just be needing to adapt. Its like my third ride on that particular road bike and yeah i do think its that, but at the same time i have owned motorcycles with aggressive angles before and my shoulders hated it. I am not committing into getting a new bicycle until i sold off my motorcycle and get more info as to what bike fits me and my needs.

So im researching pedals and shoes, so far I think I want a dual-sided pedal like the Shimano PD-M324 but i am not sure about what shoe to get. I do know i'm going to be fairly casual riding at the beginning but i do want a shoe that i can use clips and walk around. I am a dude and i wear 8.5 Wide shoes.

numberoneposter posted:the Shimano SH-XC5 is a proper shoe that you can hike in or drunkenly walk around a city when someone steals your bike after you locked it up outside a sketchy kareoke bar at 3 am after drinking all day at an alleycat race The shoes look good, the sandals also look good. But i'd rather bike in front of a truck than wear socks and sandals.

So I went to the state park (This one if you are curious) it went as well as the first time using clipless pedals can be.    I mean at least I did about 7.7 miles while getting up from eating poo poo????

   Second time on the cliples pedals and I feel more confident clipping in and out. Also i think my rear derailleur hanger got hosed on my big crash last week so I need to get a new one.

Next summer the wife and some of her sons are planning on doing a 50/20 hike on the Banks-Vernona trail here in Oregon, I love hiking but I hate hiking for that long. So im doing my first century ride on that trail. Any place I can read about doing centuries and poo poo?

bicievino posted:Lower back being absolute poo poo can mean a lot of different things. I am exaggerating a lil bit, but been having some persistent but low level of pain on my back, i am going to see a doctor tomorrow. Still when i rode my bargain bin road bike it was a little uncomfortable, but when i rode my hybrid it was more comfortable. I think a less aggressive geometry might help me on the longer run.
