I have to look for new pedals to replace my Spd 105 pedals this year. The arthritis in my left hip and knee are causing me difficulty rotating my left foot when unclipping from my left pedal even when tension is reduced to minimum. Fell a few times last year. My wife likes her Speedplay pedals but man that cleat is big and makes walking on them difficult. Hate the idea of having to go back to a cage. So hopefully I can find a suitable pedal.

I'm a caveman, flat pedals for me!

My 11 year old Super Cycle is still dormant. I changed out the knobbies because most of my riding is suburban bike trails.

I have cycled to work for the past 10 years but until this winter, only in the summer. We had such a nice winter I fear I've been spoiled. Can't recall riding below -20C. Anyway, I have 3 bikes. Rocky Mountain Team Element for the trails, Scott Hybrid for the asphalt and a winter beater I put together last fall.

Love the current Rocky Mountain range.. have been eyeing the Altitude series for a while now!

I've rode nothing but CanTire supercycle as a kid, and enjoyed them enough.
As I grew to my full height they became too short to ride without an extended seat pole. (I'm 6'4") So I rode the past 6 years(most recent bike purchase) on an undersized bike, completely and totally unaware companies were building bikes for tall peeps.

Until I went to a bike shop to get a replacement eim, and of course the guy asked what bike, frame size, etc....
Then he goes in the back and pulls out an old stock bicycle with a 26" frame.
Tells me to try it out, and my balance is restored, no longer compensating for my bodyweight being too high, I freaking loved it.
It was a 2014 Old Stock bike, so they marked it down 200.00
SOLD!!

looking very much forward to this summer bike trips.

The bike brand........Giant.
2014 Giant Sedona.

From what I hear, good brand, good bikes.
don't care, Just glad to have a bike my size again.

Last time I was in Maui, I rented. Great way to see the island, but when you're used to good bikes, renting is such a downer.

I did myself a favor last year - hadn't bought a new bike in a couple decades. I have a great old Ritchey that I cracked the top tube on and my 30 year old fillet-brazed Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt was getting pretty long in the tooth. So I bought one of these Specialized Cirrus hybrids

Still use the Rocky for North Shore kinda stuff, but this got 3000 of my 35oo km last year.

Well, it seems we'll have more to do than just have coffee and brag about our musical exploits when I come to Vancouver JULY 13 after the Penticton Fondo. A little blast to Horseshoe Bay, up Cypress? See you then.

I've had 3 Rockies, an Element & a carbon Altitude from 2010, and an aluminum framed Alti from 2011. Loved them all. Still have both Altitudes but don't ride as much since I got into trail running which is kind of like mtn biking without the bikes.

Being a gear whore with bikes previously easily rivals GAS (as it's called here - I prefer gear whore)

i like to ride when the weather is nice, but i stay off the dirt. i haul my groceries and other goods with it, or use it to avoid the ttc

the most awesome part is the gumby tied to my headstock. he's been on every motorcycle and bike i've owned for the last 17 yrs.

I've put about 100km on my road bike this month already... Hello Spring! By summer, I'll be at 200 km/week or so...

I bought a couple last year (for my son and I). I have no idea what they are, but they look cool (I can't remember and they're in the shed).

I drove off my front steps and sacked myself on the bar (which was caught on tape, unfortunately). I wish I sprung some better suspension.

 

[ed2000]

Wish I had the guts to ride this thing around my neighbourhood! Anyone else think this is cool?

 

[heybulldog]

I too am looking forward to an awesome season. Just got the downhill bike all tuned up and ready for Whistler which opens at the end of May. The weather has been pretty nice here in BC so I'm hoping to get out on the road in the next week or so.

With any luck maybe I can take a quick spin to the outskirts of the city after work today. If I can stay awake....

My last bike before the GT Was a Norco "Drop" north shore series frame (dual suspension) with a bunch of parts off my Brodie hardtail and a nice Marzocchi fork my dad bought from one of his coworkers. I'm not much for drops and jumps, so it was mostly a commuter bike. My dad has it in Vienna, and I have to wonder if he gets looks riding what appears to be a very expensive mountain bike around cities haha.

Does anyone here use Strava to track their rides?

Here's my 20 odd year old Norco Bigfoot that I took out of retirement when I retired last year Needed new tires so I slapped on something a little more suited to urban roads and trails. I did about 12k every day during the summer and fall and then hung it up for the winter. Should be able to start again this week. I keep thinking about about a new one but do I really need it?

Cool, yes, but I wouldn't be caught dead riding it
