I want to kick one of them now.<br /><br />Still....congrats on the 40 miles. That's a long way. It looks like you are using standard pedals. Have you considered clipless? You're doing a lot of pushing only with regular pedals. Clipless allow you to push and pull up on the pedals. That might help your back.<br /><br />Clipless pedals are scary at first (yes, I fell a few times), but they are really worth getting used to!Aka Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691390225208616675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242790541588925003.post-46417123513743636322011-06-28T18:40:28.241-07:002011-06-28T18:40:28.241-07:00Bike pirates?
