Always great to push yourself a little in a new way.<br /><br />But could this be another cosmic hint that I need to bite the bullet, grit my teeth, squint ferociously - and move to clipless pedals too? It was suggested to me early in the spring that if I want to improve my XC riding I should do just that. Dunno. Just seems like another way to injure myself. Had enough of that particular fun.<br /><br />One more month and this cervical collar comes off.

Sorry for the late response. Evidently Blogspot blogs are blocked in China, so I could not check into what you were up to. This fact could be cutting into your Chinese readership! I'm in HK for a night and then onto to Taiwan. It's a long story, but I had a private tour of a high end carbon bike manufacturing plant that makes frames for some big shots. What a thing to stumble on to that when doing Real Work. I'm buddies with the owner now. Go figure.

I'm sure you've heard this before, but...TJ,<br />I'm sure you've heard this before, but just in case... make sure you practice with clipping in on a grassy area before taking it to the road. It takes some time to get the "heel turning out motion" ingrained in your muscle memory. You gotta get a couple falls over with and then it will become second nature. Try to make those first falls on the grass. Once you try unclipping a couple times on both sides, ride really fast, brake hard, and then clip out. Try to envision a panic stop so you can, in effect surprise yourself. Just trying to save you from the embarrassing situation of falling over while clipped in at a traffic light in front of drivers. Don't feel bad, though. Everyone falls with these things in the beginning. (very different from cages) The power you'll gain will be very noticed though!The Bikinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09522508025848570633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267224089554889479.post-24330953391814565142011-11-09T13:08:12.865-08:002011-11-09T13:08:12.865-08:00Tim Joe, glad you got some cool new stuff to play ...Tim Joe, glad you got some cool new stuff to play with. It seems like new or new to you always gives us a brighter day. I spent my whole working life working for guys with nice clothes and haircuts..it about sucked the life out of me. When they offered me early retirement I was out the door so fast they must have thought a plane just flew through. Now I do what ever I feel like and as I just got back from a nice ride I feel like a beer..or maybe two..Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182989177877737335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267224089554889479.post-16798765854502081262011-11-09T12:16:51.748-08:002011-11-09T12:16:51.748-08:00Yeah man, that was a really cool gesture on the pa...Yeah man, that was a really cool gesture on the part of the Swell Guy. I found out I could type a lot faster with those bibs on.

Speaking of voices - the voice knows man! Sounds to me like you made the right choice all those years ago. Chapeau to the appropriately named Swell guy! Very cool that you have new bike toys to play with. I was fortunate to get some nice pedals for Christmas last year and it was just like, well, Christmas. Not to tap into the avarice thing but you do realize they made sandals that work with SPD pedals right? I wear some Keen Commuters and love them - most comfortable bike shoes ever, and off the bike they are - sandals. Hurry up with that Sauce thing to Brother - I am going to run out soon!<br /><br />Tailwinds Brother<br /><br />RRRoadieRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900109046198641775noreply@blogger.com
