I'm fund-raising for the Tour for Kids, a four day ride in southern Ontario coming up in August. One hundred percent of every donation goes directly to the kids, improving the quality of life for kids living with cancer; Nothing is shaved off for administration/other ride costs. Read more about the camps and the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation.

Are there pedals that are both flat and cleated on each side? Definitely a duplicate post, I remember seeing this question a year ago. Actually, I think I'm thinking of this question which is similar but perhaps not a duplicate bicycles.stackexchange.com/q/3912/607 |

Is a bike faster than a car for the first ten metres? Well, a size versus distance versus energy thing. A bullet, from the smallest BB to the largest cannon ball, accelerates faster than a car or cyclist or runner or ant. |

Is a bike faster than a car for the first ten metres? Do you expect every cyclist in your city to explode off the line when the light goes green? Even people who are able to out-accelerate a car will, from time to time, miss the light changing or miss clipping into their pedals or forget to preemptively shift to a lower gear. |

Are aerodynamic rims worth additional weight? @freiheit So I guess there is good evidence that a decrease in drag is worth $2000 more than a 100g decrease in weight? |

What will happen to a roadbike when rode on broken tar? There are two good answers which offer the same sentiments. |

What will happen to a roadbike when rode on broken tar? Avoid the worst of it and take it slow and it should be fine. I would question your choice of bike though. You're obviously not buying it for racing, as you're willing to get a mountain bike or road bike, so why not split the difference and get a touring bike? You'd be much more comfortable and you'd have the option of adding panniers and fenders. |

What will happen to a roadbike when rode on broken tar? The answer is "nothing". Road bikes are not going to fall apart just because you ride them over rough road. It's going to be less than comfortable, as there is much less shock absorption, but the bike will be fine. |

What will happen to a roadbike when rode on broken tar? @jimirings A cyclocross bike would be massive overkill for crossing broken pavement to get to the smooth road that makes up your daily commute. |

Can I use WD-40 on my bike? Not suitable for lubricating moving parts, but WD40 sprayed on a rag is good for cleaning grime off your frame. |

Going on a long distance bike tour: what kit do I need? Weight shouldn't really be your chief concern. Reliability is what you need to worry about. |
