    Is Expensive Cycling Apparel Really Worth It, or Is It Just Hype?

    Balaclava is what i've used before. It sucks if you wear glasses though.

    As cool as this is, it's too many days. I did it in 4 days and took the metro back.

    I'm mostly in the market for winter kit right now as I really enjoyed my bike commute this week and can see myself doing it more. If for nothing else but to get more hours on the bike.

    Should E-Bikes Be Allowed on Southern Illinois Trails? Why or Why Not?

    Riding etiquette is a problem even with acoustic riders though. The problem is there is no way to enforce rules that people should be informed of the proper procedures for ripping down a road at 20+ mph around walkers, joggers, and other cyclists.
