Mechanics Corner: Keep Moving Forward!

Howdy hey! Couple 'o tidbits to share with you all. Jeff's report from Moab got me thinkin'. ( I know, I know! Veeerrrry dangeroso!) Anyway; whatever goes down, against you, or even for you, you've got to keep moving forward! When you stop- you die. End of story. Same goes for your fitness, riding skills, and maintenance skills/ habits.

See, just because it's "the end of the season", doesn't mean you have to stop riding. Have some fun, already! Get out and night ride. Try slogging through the snow. Dare to ride when the temps are below zero! Clean your bike after every ride! Most of all- MAKE IT FUN!

I am not out of my tree here! I quite like my tree. And no! I don't hug it! Just try and get out whenever you can. The more people the merrier! You'll keep alot more of your fitness throughout the winter, and it beats th H-E-double hockey sticks out of indoor training. ( I personally think indoor training is one of the portals to Hell, along with Worksman trikes....but that's another story!)

What I Say: Get out and ride your bicycle! You love to do it anyway, or you wouldn't be readin' this tripe. There are ways to stay warm, ( anybody know the newspaper trick?), see in the dark, and get traction on snow and ice without spending a bundle. No 'skyooozez! (Nobody likes a whiner!)

Guitar Ted uses and endorses 29" bicycles. ( Congrats Nat on your win!) Ova' an Out!
