Also sometimes good stuff lasts forever. I have a 25 year old pair of Patagonia guide pants that still work great and have at least 500 days of use. Except for their durability, they are no different than the corrugated guide pants I sent back because they fell apart.
I think 90 percent of the time a pair of 20 dollar nylon/polyester pants from Costco are just fine. But sometimes it sure is nice to have waterproof knees and butt, ventilation zippers, or knee pads.
I rode a mountain bike a fair bit in my 20s and never had a need for a bike fit, but after years of abusing my body, that changed. I picked up a road bike in my 40s largely to help with a multi-ligament knee injury (acl, mcl, pcl, lcl) and cartilage. I am bone on bone and my acl is lax - I need...
Yes, of course. Have you had a professional bike fit? It involves taking body measurements, analyzing flexibility, considering injuries, pronation/supination, video analysis, etc. It takes a couple hours and can be pretty important if a person with an injury history is going to be cycling...
Really? I don’t understand. Arent there are some codes for private land and some limited entry tags for public? For instance em003o2r is valid on public and em003p1r is private land only?
My wife did. It did not seem fun. She had surgery for deviated septum at the same time. She is tough - didn't take any pain meds (not even a Tylenol) during child birth kinda tough. The tonsillectomy and deviated septum surgery knocked her down for a couple weeks. She’s glad she did it though.
For those of you that love the peleton 240, have you compared it to the kenai? In my experience, the peleton was warmer than it had any right to be, but it didn’t breathe well and wasn’t as versatile in variable temperatures. I have both and the peleton 240 always ends up staying at home.
I have an older kenai that goes with me everywhere. It is so versatile. Dries fast. Has taken lots of abuse. Breathes well. Seems like there might be better options out there now - like the ambient, but I can’t see myself moving away from the kenai any time soon.
I would consider buying a bike and a trainer. Get the bike fitted by a pro. Having the right fit is so much better on your knees, plus you will have a bike to ride outdoors.
I think a lot depends on her. Age? Goals? Current fitness level? Does she want to cycle outside too? Maybe an assault bike is best for her. Maybe a road bike and a trainer for indoor use. Maybe a recumbent indoor bike. Maybe a peloton.
This year I got about 35 days. All were overnight trips. I have young kids, other hobbies, a demanding job, and a wife with a demanding job and hobbies. 35 was probably pushing it a bit. Usually I get 20-25 days.
