Good Quality Road Platform Pedals? I personally like speedplays because of the float adjustment, but if you find them a deathtrap, you most likely need less tension and more practice. |

Number of gears for a racer Also worth noting - Typically a double will have either 53 or 54 teeth for the large chainring in the front, and a "compact" is usually 50t for the large chainring. This is favored by many triathletes as the perception is that it "saves" the legs for the run, but your gearing is determined by the rear cassette. For example, a 53x18 (53 front, 18 in the rear) is basically the same gear inches as a 50x17. |

Suspension fork - Can you leave them locked for a long time? Might have had a seal go bad, allowing water in and hydrolocking the chamber. |

Protocol for downhill cyclist overtaking a car? @Useless - True. In the states, farm and slow moving vehicles (Such as Amish buggies in the Northeast) are required to display a reflective triangle to traverse certain roads. |

Protocol for downhill cyclist overtaking a car? @Useless - If you are driving slower than the speed limit (And thanks for pointing out it was a maximum, I'm sure I wasn't aware of that), you can be cited for impeding traffic. Rare, but it does happen. |

How can I warm up/cook food while cycling? About the only thing I can think of is some of the water activated heat packs you can get at REI. Or you can drop by an army surplus store and get some MRE's, they have heating packs with them. As far as regular food, I am partial to Allan Lim's rice cakes. Good stuff! |

What are the pros and cons of a Turbo Trainer over Training Rollers? If you turn the front wheel on a set of rollers, you're going down in a heap. However, when you can get to the point where you are doing one legged drills no handed on rollers, you've arrived. |

Is it better to breathe through your nose or mouth when cycling? @RobertKoritnik - Agreed, but it's all effort dependent. If I'm just cruising around on a low level ride, nose is fine. When I crank it up though, definitely gulping the mouth route! |

shaving your legs, arms, or both? @JohnHunt Actually, when you are hot and sweating, the hair muscles relax to keep the hair as flat as possible to aid the evaporation of sweat. when you are cold, the hairs raise to help trap air. So no hair is a benefit when warm, and a detractor when it's cold. |
