    Need to edit GPS file

    I need to edit out two segments on a Garmin Edge 200 .fit file. Any suggestions? Strava will let me edit the last segment of the ride, but I also need to edit out a small section in the middle (left GPS turned on while taking a transfer in a van). I attempted to rename the file and upload...

    Bike Shops Don't Stock Clothing, Why?

    Looking for input from shop owners and employees. I hate buying bike clothing on-line for all the obvious reasons. However, I have found a few brands that I like and have been forced to purchase them on-line because shops usually only carrier Pearl Izumi, clothes from their bike brands, low...

    Road ID Gift Cards to Award to Youth Cyclists

    I have 4 Road ID Gift Cards that I received from the DDH Foundation. I agreed to pass them along to deserving young cyclists. I plan on placing the orders directly to make sure they are actually used and would like to get a photo of each recipient for the website. Anyone care to nominate...

    Suggestion to bike shop owners!!!

    I am not posting this to bash - but in an honest attempt to get shop owners to take a look at their service departments. I had two very poor experiences recently with two well established shops. The most recent involved a simple task - replace all cables. Well, yesterday I suited up for a...

    Youth Size 2 Burton Grom Snowboard Boots for sale

    This is a used pair of boots in excellent condition, no stains or damage and tread is like new (picture is not of actual boots but representative of the model). Too small for my son who wears a size 2 sneaker. They were not kidding when they said these run small. Would probably be good for...

    Will the HTC Incredible 4G be a good choice for GPS?

    I am waiting for the official Verizon release of the HTC Incredible 4G. Is it worth the wait? I plan on running MapMyRide and/or Strava. I have never owned an Android phone so I ask for input from those who do. My choice is based on the fact that the new phone is not HUGE like the current...

    Verizon smartphone needed

    To make a long story short - my older blackberry is out of warranty and I refuse to pay $300 for a refurbished piece of crap to avoid the 2 year contract and excessive early-cancellation fee. If anyone recently switched to a Verizon iphone and still has their Android based HTC or Motorola phone...

    Downside of GPS apps...

    http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/cyclist-accident-makes-waves-181534779.html Just like the black box in your car, Strava was used to investigate the speed of a cyclist during a crash. Though in this case my opinion is that it was used for justice as the rider was way out of line trying to...

    Point to Point Mid-Life Crisis Route Suggestions Needed

    I have been looking into a long distance (4 day?) trip where my wife and kids can follow in the "family support station wagon" to get a first hand view of dad embarking on a fruitless quest of personal determination and idiocy. I researched the East Coast Greenway but it looks very unfinished...

    What the general public thinks about trails...

    My responses are in red italics On July 11th, the Trails and Greenways Committee held an additional public meeting...

    Any experience with Mizuno Breath Thermo Sock???

    Has anyone used these? I am intrigued about the claim that they turn "body moisture into heat." They are listed as a running sock (and I read an article parroting the same claim about the Mizuno thermal tights), but could be useful for cold-weather cycling. I am currently using heavier...

    Looking for kids size road bike.

    9yr old wants a drop bar road bike; wife approved a $300 budget; no such bike exists at that price; wife forbid me from taking parts off my Lemond (smart move on her part since we both know I would be looking for a replacement right away). The 24" kids bikes (Scott, Felt) are too small...

    Kids and Competition!

    After my son and 3 other rookie players were "cut" from the 4th grade football team because the head coach was "concerned" for their safety as rookies (of course he only put the rookies in for three plays over a 2 hour scrimmage) I got to thinking about kids sports some more. You see, my son...

    Sports Drink Plus Gels/Bars Together???

    Probably time for me to invest in a training book, but until then... Should I be using BOTH a drink powder and gels while on training rides? They seem to have very similar ingredients. The GU gels (Cliff blocks, etc) recommend one every 20-45 minutes - but I also drink over 1/2 bottle of...
