Bibs... Bibs... Bibs... They stay in place and I love them. Seems like the more you spent the better they feel.

My word of advice on shaving if you don't currently - try it first in the winter months when it won't seem odd for you to be wearing leg warmers or pants to cover the nicks, cuts and razor burn. I think it took be about three of four times to shave…

Ross: Do you commute in the lycra shorts and cotton tee, or do you commute and then work in the shorts/tee combo? If you just commute in it, no problem. Work? Sorry, more than eligible for ridicule; might be a mandatory ridicule situation. Unless yo…

Lou, A couple of months back, I spilled a little milk on one of my gloves at my desk. Not wanting it to get sticky or smelly, I took it to the bathroom sink to wash it out. I got it wet and squeezed it out and the nastiest, brownish-grey, filmy wate…

The anti-air freshener. BTW - I don't think my cycling gloves have been dry since March. Someone just told me you were supposed to wash them. Who knew?

Well, the rain this morning was a bit unexpected (it might have helped if I had checked the radar), otherwise I'd have just tossed a spare pair of riding socks in my bag and grabbed a jacket before setting out. But I've been thinking of keeping an e…

Bibs or Shorts?

What's your preference? Is this comfort versus style? Utility? Do you prefer bibs or shorts?

Tire talk, what do you roll on?

What tires do you use and why? Even though I don't "race", I don't like getting anyone riding too far in front of me and look for advantages I can afford. I used Conti GP 4000s for a while, mainly becuase the people at the shop told me too. Alas, I ride too much to afford $60 tires every couple of months and even more frequently a couple of times due to cuts. I switched back to Conti Ultra Sports at less than half the price but they're pretty heavy and wear out quickly. Recently I decided to give a rear folding Conti Gatorskin a try to see how long it would last. It's 70 grams lighter than the Ultra Sport and only 25 grams heavier than the GP 4000.

In a related area, are there disadvantages to wire beaded tires other than weight? Are they a lot hard to put on wheels?
