Speedplay Drillium for big flat pedals. Don't let them bite your shins....thing dig in hard!

Hey dude, I wish I had one of those bikes. I've been spending a lotta time lately identifying my next set of purchases. I'd like to have one of these bikes for getting into the outback where I can do some prospecting. Would need to carry prospecting equipment as well as camping gear and food and whatnot. I'm too fat right now for this, got fat from quitting smoking in 12/07. every weekend riding more and more. moved close to work so I can ride to and from work. tryin hard. hat's off to u!

Dude, nice, I have a big dummy. Love it, but being bent over on the bike is not for wind resistance. you have more power in a bent over position. More relaxed when upright but also potentially more strain on your lower back. There does not need to be a revolution over bike position. People just need to ride bikes and big dummy's. Don't tell people how to sit on their bike because everyone is different. otherwise good video i give you 4 stars. Be safe on your trip, my thoughts are with you.
