Awsome bike!

I did bonk once on a long ride. It was fast and I hadn't eaten anything and it was also freezing cold and I just wanted to get home. I felt a little dizzy and my legs didn't have their usual power. I was almost just flopping them round in a low gear and popped into Subway as there was a big long hill up to my university house. Only other time I did a mile as fast as I could on an empty stomach and felt a bit dizzy but ate an orange and was better.

I would have thought it would be disadvantageous to drink too much during a race as it adds weight and makes you need a pee but certainly drink if you even have a hint of thirst. If you're riding hard you should be able to balance drinking and sweating with a bit of practise and the urge to pee isn't as strong due to the water loss from elsewhere. I'm still having trouble replacing my secondary bottle on the go. Might install a 2nd cage on my top tube instead of the seat tube.

Are those eggbeater pedals?

[VeganSkaterDood]

I find this video very helpful, I must of watched it 3x now. One question tho, what do you think about riding with ipod/headphones?

[TimpBizkit]

@VeganSkaterDood don't do it in town or use neckband cushion on ear headphones at low volume.

[visualvirtue]

Who thought it would be a good idea to make a video near a busy road? Great content though and still useful. Thanks. (especially for the typed inserts)

[WildAwsomesoul]

he got useful info but his way of saying it makes it unpleasant

[dancingbananas99]

Hey, I'm new to the bike scene and for my first bike I'm looking to spend max $1000.

Could you recommend any brands to me?

[jazztutorial]

To get rid of the wind, put a high pass filter on the audio at about 200Hz. Then you'll be able to hear the speech.

[adamcapriola]

What shoes are those? Never seen 'em before.

[mikessti1]

[bipedalame]

[raazstone]

I've a question. Do you breathe in and out through nose while cycling?

[kronier]

You convinced me to buy a helmet.

:-)

[GaryNull]

I bought a like new (1980?) Ross 10 speed for $10 on Craigs list.

Just need a spoke ($2.00). Rides great.

[CastleGrok]

Damn DR. Did you get a new Madone, or is it a loaner?

[durianriders]

@CastleGrok Stole it from Trek.

[3GBlog]

@durianriders I cant tell if you're being serious or not lol

[joskes123]

@durianriders Yeah, I really believe that.

[fruitflyproductions]

you should do your videos behind buildings / in alley ways where there's less wind...

[tigerkitten927]

Thanks, this was really helpful for me. I just moved to a warm climate and am using a bike as my only form of transportation....these tips will help a lot :)

[jlira01]

WHAT. I CANT QUITE HEAR YOU. ITS THE W.. THE .. YES. NO I DIDNT SAY NICE RIMS I SAID ITS THE WIND. WIND!! I CANNOT HEAR YOU .  lol nice vid.

[thearl77]

@Smetherton no, just good for the salesmen's.

[livehealthyhappy]

Thank you for this video...Great Stuff!

[adsa973]

nice vid, thanks for the tips. I'll need to alter my flappy jersey ;) How about a educational vid on the digestive processes in the body for creating glycogen/energy. How its made, where its stored, how what we eat effects it , GI rates etc Maybe tell us ur experiences/how u feel when eating on rides :)

[snwbordface]

zub zub! haha yuss!

[Danos138]

the wind in this video playing the role of the anti lfrv crew. just making a lot of noise.

[solargazing69]

"flakers" are cool..gears are for queers, we always say..fixed gear is where it's at..also cigs are cool, although i don't smoke anymore cuz i'm now a little bit of a nerd..please don't respond to this post cuz it's just for fun and of course i mean no harm to anyone :)

[videobenji]

harley... i'm not sure i understand. do you carry bananas with you and eat them periodically while riding?

[durianrider]

@videobenji I carry a 20lb watermelon..or dates.

[AndrewJ26]

you should invest in a microphone

[bilgerburg]

Cool vid Harley...Could you do a video on road safety and how you get used to riding around cars? Also, what do you look for when choosing a road to ride? thanks....

[victorbigdipper]

Please talk about the the mid clip. What is up with that? I have never seen that in the states...

[Luciek69]

Thank you.

Could you think of a duathlon training for beginners? Thanks a lot,

Cheers.

[crankstermedia]

Good stuff Harley. Have you used those dried bananas on the longer rides? Not the chips but whole bananas. Dates, figs and those bananas got me through the TDU. Funny watching my mates all hitting the power drinks and bakeries at every stop. "What? You're not eating?" they'd ask. "I never stop" was my reply.

[JuggaloOzi]

How long til you're in the tdf?

[wordey123]

Haha, youre always quoting Lance Armstrong. How come you havnt made a name for yourself on the cycling scene?

[Danos138]

@wordey123 because hes not a super doper?

[princessyaoi185]

I'm guessing you don't mean $13000 USD, hahaha!

[Danos138]

@princessyaoi185 i wouldnt doubt it, bikes can be incredibly expensive.

[princessyaoi185]

@Danos138 Wow, I've never seen one that pricey before. I was thinking maybe $1300.

[TheJacolyte]

@princessyaoi185 No, the dollar sign came after the amount. Backward australians...

[durianrider]

@princessyaoi185 I did but it was more of a joke. The AUS and USD are about the same now. You can spend 1300$ and get a nice fitted bike for sure though. Bike fit is vital!!

[princessyaoi185]

@durianrider Yeah, I looked up the exchange rate right after I posted that.

I've seen some pretty nice used bikes on craigslist for $300-500.

[followingbreadcrumbs]

but Harley, that sounds..."inconvenient" ;-)

[Joormode]

Great tips harley, tnx !

[Recc8es]

Wind likes to interrupt ;-)
