He said he was confused by the Valley Metro trip instructions, so he ended up taking an Uber to the wrong starting point, and then had to take another one to where the bus would pick him up. He blamed this on Valley Metro, but let’s be honest, Mendoza.

The carbon body is tough and durable, engagement system is very well made and easy to get in and out of as Time claims. They’re impressively light considering the surface area.

For obvious reasons, I’m doing all my riding in winter boots at the moment. I treated myself to a pair of Shimano MW7 boots. Nice and comfy, stiff soled, but not impressed with the new design. I used to be able to get away with the odd ‘dab in a stream’ with my old MW80’s, but the new ones have a lycra tongue hidden under a flap which quickly lets water in when they’re submerged, as opposed to the older design with a waterproof leather tongue. Summer riding is done in a pair of Lake SPD boots.

Rode it from Innertkirchen in June, having first done the Grimsel pass in freezing rain & fog. It’s a long old climb, but never feels overly…

Apparently, not all my fellow cyclists share my affinity for the ambient delights of the great outdoors. In fact, a fair number of them seem to feel that a mountain bike ride is not complete without some sort of musical accompaniment. To that end, they score their outings by means of a playlist and any one of the various Bluetooth handlebar-mounted speakers currently available on the market.

Eventually, you get so used to the action of clipping in that it becomes very quick, but even when you miss, you still can put pressure on through the pedals. The same cannot be said of my SPD-SL pedals on my road bike! Once you’re in those, you don’t want to have to put your feet down again unless absolutely necessary.

Many riders swear by flat pedals for mountain biking, and the flat-pedal shoes from FiveTen are both legendary and widely popular among riders. Not to leave clipless riders out in the cold, FiveTen offers the Hellcat, a flat-style shoe that’s designed to work with clipless pedals. Does this shoe offer the best of both worlds? Read on to find out.

The inevitable 30-something MAMIL transition saw him shift to skinny tyres and these days he lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.

“I wanted somebody who could fix the bike locally,” Grall said. “I knew these guys (at Camas Bike and Sport). I knew they’d be available to help me if I needed something.”

Adidas Terrex Trail Cross Protect “They are built with D3O® foam around the ankles to soften blows and keep you riding. A breathable upper is secured with laces and a strap for a snug, supportive fit.” These kicks bring padding and protection much higher than most of the competition. €130.

“It’s sort of a quiet revolution,” said Maus, whose bicycle stable includes a cargo e-bike and who follows industry sales closely. “There’s been a huge shift toward e-bikes.”

The speed I can clip in now off the lights is wicked. Actually feels a bit show-offy it’s that smooth and fast. I also rub a little lube on the cleat spring every weekend, that makes it super smooth to clip in too now.
