I should’ve known better. The old pedals were fine. The shoes were fine. But then, like some cursed siren call, a deal appeared. A pair of sleek Lake road shoes. Ultegra SPD-SL pedals. At a price so good it whispered, Buy me, you fool. So I did. And now, here I am. A man about…

I once knew a guy who wore a tuxedo to a backyard barbecue. He ate ribs with his hands, wiped the sauce on his lapels, and left with a full stomach and zero regrets. That’s the energy we’re bringing to this discussion. Road bikes. Sleek. Fast. Built for speed and efficiency. But what if you…

When you show up at a group ride and everyone else has their feet locked in like they’re part of a NASA mission, but you’re still rocking those flat pedals? You’re an outsider, an oddball, a gladiator in the ring, not giving a damn about what others think. But hey, maybe you just like comfort,…

Don’t make the same mistake I did.” You’ve heard the “I fell in front of a wedding party” stories, the “I’m attached to my…

from Rookie’s keyboard, Hello, friends Many rookie riders often wonder whether it’s necessary to invest in luxirious pedals made of alloy. I have nothing against those models. I even have 2-3 sets of metal pedals taken from retro road bikes. I specifically ordered one of the sets as I wanted a Lyotard model. But at…

from Rookie’s keyboard Hello, friends Unfortunately, I have to report a mistake that I made yesterday due to the lack of knowledge.  Accidentally (although they say there is no such thing as a coincidence), I went into a new bike shop in town and saw that they had MTB Crank Brothers pedal on clearance and…
