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.

Ride with someone who is less trained I think splitting up in the middle of a ride will just add to the stress between them. |

Ride with someone who is less trained If Ken plans appropriately, he can do a strenuous workout ride by himself the day before the joint recreational ride. Getting his exercise out of the way can make it easier for him to get in the mood for a low-intensity ride. |

I wish to get fit, therefore should I have a heavy bike? Is the essence of your answer that heavier bikes often come with lower gearing which can be more important than weight when going up a steep hill? |

Is there such thing as an automatic transmission for bikes? Would you consider adding a summary about the hub system you're referring to and how it works? |

Is there such thing as an automatic transmission for bikes? I assume that there are a variety of designs that provide automatic gearing--do you remember which particular type you tried? |

What tint colors are most useful for cycling sunglasses? @alex, I ended up getting some photochromic sunglasses, so now that I have some experience, I just added an answer that addresses this specifically. Thanks for the tip. |

What tint colors are most useful for cycling sunglasses? Thanks for pointing out that reddish lenses are really dark amber. Now that you mention it, it makes sense, and this ties in well with mattnz's answer. |

I feel long rides exclusively in my quads, should my calf muscles be doing more work? This link seems to be dead. Is there another URL where it is available? |

How to setup triple front derailleur with a double crankset I didn't think that was possible. Aren't the chainrings closer together in a triple? |

Can I replace chainrings without replacing the rest of the drive train? Make the title more detailed |
