Month: May 2012 (Page 3 of 3)

I created a team for All for the Love of Bikes to participate in the National Bike Challenge. The National Bike Challenge is a free program with the goal of uniting 50,000 people to bike 10 million miles. It runs from May 1 – August 31st – so if you haven’t signed up yet, you should now! Just follow the link above to participate and sign up to ride for All for the Love of Bikes!

My ride data:

The three high schools in Edmond participated in the national bike to school day today.  They had a good turnout, seems like more than last year too, so maybe biking to school like biking in general is picking up.

No school for me, but I biked to my volunteer “job” and got to park her inside.

Yesterday, we mixed things up a bit. Translation: we tend to ride the same routes, the same way and didn’t. Do you usually ride the same routes?

We noticed a freshly paved, HILLY road while riding to Jones a week or so ago and yesterday we decided to give it a ride. It was like one long, curly ribbon of a road. It was hard, but fun.

I need to take a photo of it, want to for my Project 365 anyway. When I do I’ll post it here so you can see how cool it looks.

I’ve had requests to post my Garmin info so here it is for this ride:  http://bit.ly/KfkbSH

I ordered new pedals today, thankfully. I research things to death!

 

• Lightweight aluminum body with carbon composite rear-friction plates and titanium 6V spindle for a nearly "weightless", smooth and efficient pedaling experience

• Energy Transfer System (ETS) uses a large cleat/pedal contact area to maximize energy transmission during all-out efforts

• Adjustable release tension and optimized cleat/pedal release system provide 80-200kg/cm of modification

• DuraCleat with wear-resistant zones offers 7° of angular float

• Double QRM sealed cartridge bearings produce low friction and are easy to maintain

• Additional cartridge needle bearing evenly distributes heavy loads

• 220g (pair)

After I’ve ridden with them a few times, I’ll post a review.
