    Tires on a road bike?

    I was just out for a nice long ride, and right at the end I hit something that went through the side wall of my tire. I was riding along this road that had been flooded by "Atlanta flood 2009". I figure it was something that floated out of the river and was left on the road. Anyway, it was a...

    I just found a carbon fiber bike at...?

    While answering questions on this thing, I found a 500.00 dollar carbon bike at Walmart's web page. It is the same Schwinn frame they sale at performance. I might buy one and have it put together at the bike shop. What do you guys think? I read all the reviews, and a lot of real road cyclist...

    African and African American cyclist, will this bring more to our sport?

    I was just watching a trailer for an old film from a couple years ago. It is about these two young cyclist they got from Kenya to compete in the Tour DE France. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOEY4oIxllM Apparently these guys more than held their own while living the dream...

    Mountain bikes and water...?

    MTB's are made for abuse. they are made to go down rocky trails and jump stuff. they are made to withstand a good amount of moisture. If the bike you have can't, than I suggest getting a different one. keep the hub greased well and water shouldn't ruin the hub.

    Can a pro road bike racer beat a novice on a 5,000.00 dollar bike?

    I am just getting started. Through my research, I have found all the top clubs. All the ones that people say are fast road racers (for cat 3,4-5). They are all on 1,500.00+ bikes. I ask them their miles for the day, and we are about the same. I am on a 500.00 Schwinn road bike with a few...

    I want a second set of wheels for my road bike?

    I do 13 miles, each way, a day for training during the week. I commute to work at my swim club. I swim sometimes too, while there. I'll do 30-40 miles on Saturday or Sunday, and only 6 on the off day. I use solid heavy wheels and tires for my daily ride. I want to buy a lighter set of wheels and...

    How can I get another water bottle holder on my road bike?

    I think a know the answer, but I want to make sure. I have a newer road bike. Aluminum alloy frame. It's a pretty light road bike. Well, it only has one spot for a water bottle. Back in the day I would drill, but I'm thinking that is a no no on this frame. I don't want to do it anyway, I just...

    Bike shorts fittings?

    This may seem like a stupid question. I feel dumb asking it. How should bike shorts fit in the padded crouch area? Maybe it's because I'm not giving them time, but I think i feel like a girl might feel when wearing a maxi pad. Should these things be super tight in the crouch, or looser? Is this...
