A well-traveled Riv, Doug! Love the firetruck shot as the red and Soviet-MIG green/blue is a nice contrast. Is Dante's View in Death Valley perchance? Also a very nice shot. Thanks for sharing. Our 'Riv's of the World map is growing. Cheers, John On Thursday, March 17, 2022 at 1:12:38 PM

Re: [RBW] Flat Pedal Users: Favorite size/shape?

I have been using Blackspire Sub Four pedals on my Bombora, and SimWorks Bubbly Pedals on my Sam. Both are pretty great and I'd recommend. The Blackspire pedals are super grippy - almost too grippy? Whatever, I don't hate it and they do feel really nice when ripping around on trails. The

I really, really like the Catalyst pedals from Pedaling Innovations: https://pedalinginnovations.com/ Thin, long, wide, grippy – they check all the boxes for me. I ride wearing either Vans, Chucks, or Keens, none of which offer much support (esp. the Chucks) and there’s enough real estate on

I grew up in Perth, Western Australia, which is certainly the windiest city in Australia and probably somewhere up there on a world basis (I think Wellington in New Zealand is generally regarded as taking the prize for that). During late summer and autumn in Perth, we often get strong easterly

I’ve been commuting until it’s below 30ish degrees. Sort rides though. In Philadlelphia, I found a local group going on a Full Moon ride Friday night, and it should be a perfect night. The rest of the weekend : “French kiss.” I know it’s a bit warmer here but hopefully you’ll get out,

Thanks, Robert! Is this totally raw or is it raw with a clear coat and the patina is under the clear? I ask because I'd figure a raw steel frame would weather more quickly that the time frame you mention. I am prepared to be wrong about this assumption! On Wednesday, March 16, 2022 at 12:59:00
