Are Merino cycling boxers/cycling pants worth the cost? Those merino boxers you linked to aren't cycling nicks, they're just underwear. You'd still have to wear somethign over the top of them. If you're spending any time in the saddle I'd suggest a proper pair of cycling nicks - with a chamois. That said, I got some cheap merino thermals at Aldi, and they're great. Warm in the wet, but not sweaty like lycra. You can even machine wash them. |

Bicycle innovations in the pipeline? They're better, but they're hardly new. Think Sturmey-Archer. |

I keep breaking my road frames - why? Thanks for that explanation. Very clear. |

I keep breaking my road frames - why? I was thinking about a bike with the same specs, but was worried that it might be worse than steel, with aluminium and carbon having the tendency to catastrophically fail instead of tearing like steel. |

I keep breaking my road frames - why? I'm in a temperate region, it never even gets frost here. Blazing hot in the summer though (48 degrees C or more some times). Thanks for the links about the saddle. I think I'm in the ballpark as far as adjustment goes. And as for make they were three different manufacturers, one a local frame builder with a pretty good reputation, one KHS korean made in a factory and one from a LBS in Sydney whose origins I don't know. I weigh ~90kg |

I keep breaking my road frames - why? Hey, I'm an ex-rower. Maybe I need to learn to spin a bit higher. |

Why ride a fixed-gear bike? I can trackstand downhill without a fixed hub (even with a kiddie trailer on the back). You basically have to synchronise pushing forward and squeezing your front brakes to bounce off the flex in the wheel. Helps to be in the right gear though. Oh, wait.. |

How to clean up at work after a commute? Sounds a bit odd, but I always make sure I have a spare set of undies and socks at work - for the days I'm rushing the kids off to school and don't remember to pack a pair. |
