the other place that i rode amsterdam was well flat except for the 19kts wind

I was touring near Amsterdam, well, on the coast and there was a storm off the North Sea. The wind blew in so much that I had to lean my fully loaded bike about 30% just to keep going forward. Crazy!

Hi,


Anyone using Nexride saddle? http://www.nexride.com/

it sounds good in theory, but real life not very pratical, for me i like to shift around my saddle to prevent numb balls, but this one you are only allowed to ride in 1 position

How come some people say pcn pointless to use cleat system? I think on pcn i am more hooked on than on road. I have never felt a need to unhook when on pcn. Even got crowd of people i just ride slowly.

Just rode my roadie at Coney island from West to east to west again. No puncture though. 2 of my friends on roadie also no issue. Maybe cos I'm using gatorskin tyres haha. Have not punture my tube before. Hope doesn't happen.

I am riding a stock cannondale caad8 with the 105 groupset now. What should I upgrade to make the bike stiffer? It feels like the bike is flexing quite abit when I am climbing out of the saddle. Feels abit like my MTB when I never lock the fork.
