A pair of sneaker pedals should arrive today to try out also.

The Adirondack Park is a great place for riding. Even though I live in VT,
I often ride in that area. The roads have wide shoulders, are in better
condition than Vt roads, and even though you are in the mountains the
grades are rarely excessively steep. From Loon Lake I would minimize

It got a new "hipster" layout, which isn't terrible, but it doesn't (didn't

To clean my brushes I use ammonia. It works like a charm. Not sure how it
would affect paint, but you could dilute it down a bit and try it on an
