I started commuting on a mountain bike in 2009 and soon added recreational rides both off- and on-road. I switched to a road bike in 2012, some time after I realized that I love climbing mountain roads.

comment Is having your hands “on the hoods” of drop handlebars safe for braking?
You mean "the only time I've ever felt that braking from the hoods is inadvisable", right?

comment Why does the glue in a puncture repair kit dry up so quickly?
This is an interesting idea. Does it really work? Do you keep the teflon tape in your saddle bag?

With my pump and innertubes, you can't read the air pressure in the tire until after I start pumping, since the presta valve keeps itself closed automatically.

Could you expand on how you know whether the balance is good? With children, good balance is all relative. :)
