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

    God gifted me with terrible vision and a severe distaste for contacts. Therefore I am always in glasses.

    How many miles in 2024?

    Not enough. 5200 miles, not sure how many are on the road v trainer v gravel v mtb. I did not beat 2023, it's okay. I'll try to get 10000 miles this year

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

    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.
