In my country cyclists have more rights in the streets than anyone else. They think they are the king or owner of the street, even highways. If was a some kind of transportation like in Japan or China... will be more acceptable.

That's quite a spread! I have a hard time finding the sweet spot with cadence on a group ride. Solo doesn't really matter to me.

That's cause I'm on 1x. My cadence is pretty flexible for group rides, but I usually gear to a much slower cadence when drafting so I can control my speed better.

I don't even remember the specs on my road bike anymore. It's just sitting collecting dust and spider webs.

If I were to use mine again, I'd have to wash it down, and buy new chain lube. Last time I saw, the bottles of chain lube I have looked like they solidified at the bottom. lol. I also need to re-wrap my handles since I went down hard on it one time (bent the handle, popped off the shifter caps, tore the grip, busted my helmet, and blacked out).
I wouldn't trust myself clipped in anymore either. lol |
