Wanted to get to squamish but my legs said not today, next time more water and more snacks hopefully.

Omg!!! Good job!!! How long did the ride take you?

Prelude_2_NV - I got Deli into biking. :pokerface:

Nice job!! What bike did Deli get?

She's using her sister's old Norco Wolverine haha just a mountain bike. I think we'll be riding on trails more often than not. She's not ready for a road bike. :(

Cool. bcrdukes let me know what you think of the Michelin Pro3s when you get a chance to ride on them.

My coworker loves them. Uses them on his Giant TCR. He recommended them to me and they were on sale! :)

Thanks dukes, I'll check em out later this week :)

SRAM Rival. What a baller. :pokerface: /jelly

Took the Kona Hahanna today along the Richmond Dyke Trail & River Road.

5 hours and 15 min, not gonna lie, i was hating life for a solid hour on that ride.

WTF. I have the same exact table and chairs. :pokerface:

Wow, you kept a really good pace. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that this season or next. Btw, sweet bike!

Its not as hard as pressumed (even though i didnt reach my destination) more to do with planning sleeping and eating properly im sure youd be able to attack it.

btw for anyone looking for plans tomorrow, the gastown gp begins at 5:30

Man, watching all these bikers out in the sun makes me want to get one. Anyone have any recommendations on what to get. It seems like there are quite a few riders here that know a lot about biking. A little too technical for me, but I guess this is the right place to ask.

I am looking for an all around bike? I was reading a bit online and seems like a hybrid bike is the way to go, but then i asked a friend and he told me they are for old people? He then said to just get a mountain bike instead and I was like WTF?

Anyways, I am 5'9. 180 pounds (if that even matters). Any suggestions? Or things I should look for when picking up a bike? I am considering a used one since it will be my first bike. Suggestions?

My first bit of advice is: Find a new friend because this guy doesn't know WTF he's talking about. :D

I think a better question to ask yourself is: What kind of cycling do you want to do?

There are different types of cycling. Road, commuting, casual/leisure (Seawall type) trails/mountain biking etc.

Figure that out first and then maybe we can help you. For what its worth - hybrids are for everybody. Not just old people. All-round bikes usually end up being hybrids because they have somewhat of a performance ability while allowing the rider to keep things casual and to commute.

had some fun in Whistler last week with the Knolly. It's not so much a bike, as it is a machine.

My suggestion is...buy my bike! :) I have an old GT Mountain bike that I'm looking to sell. I'll throw in a pair of brand new slicks, then you can commute on it if you like.

that is siiiiiiickkkk!

Just sold my Kona Hahanna. I kind of regret it now after seeing hypa's bike. :( :fuuuuu:

However, I replaced it with a road bike! :D

:fuuuuu: put a loop in my chain when i took off my back wheel

Ahhh...another bike project. :) 2006 Kona Zing Supreme...
I may be willing to sell the frame/fork if anyone's interested! Size 52. Until then, I need more parts!

* I know the seat post is high. It's not where it is going to end up. It's carbon, and I didn't want to scratch it up just yet!
** I know the seat (Prologo Scratch) is not level, just on there for the time being.

i'm diggin the 0-speed drivetrain :P super weight savings

Hey guys, im looking for a bike for general riding at like stanley park and around the blocks for some extra cardio, I'm 5'11 and about 230 pounds, anyone recommend a descent cheaper bike? I really like the kona stinkys a few years ago.

How much do you want to spend? A 'decent cheaper' bike to you, may be different to others. A Kona Stinky? That's a full suspension mountain bike. Quite the overkill if you're just going around Stanley Park or down the block, no? Personally, I would just start with an older hardtail, or even full rigid, mountain bike. At least then, you can go through some of the trails in Stanley Park if you choose to. Or, if you decide you want to stick to the seawall, then swap out the knobby tires for some slicks.
There's plenty of decent older mountain bikes on Craigslist. Or buy my GT Palomar!! (Sorry, just had to plug my bike)
