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. |

Brake response is spongey post-brake lever upgrade Did you replace the brake cable, and/or tighten it properly? A badly tensioned brake cable can produce a "spongy" braking feel. |

Why would one ever buy a 12-25 cassette when an 11-25 is available? @DanielRHicks - exactly right. I have an 11-25, and I find I very often have a "gap" where a 16 fits perfectly. I can find the number of times I've used the 11 on one hand with a couple fingers and thumb left over. |

Aerobars on a hybrid Most extensions (As pictured in the other answer) are only a few bucks, and most that I've seen are way cheaper than full aerobars. |

The Scope Of The Lance Armstrong Doping Scandal Yes, they are slowly winning. But I do think that elite cycling (cat 1/2 and up) is still doping, and that the tests are always a reactive measure trying to keep up with new techniques. |
