There are a lot of people who hate on E-Bikes... Many in the cycling community, too. I mean cyclists have always had to fight for their right to exist. We still do! Why on earth should we start fighting against another cycling user like e-bike riders? Some cyclists are doing to them what has...

Every now and then I see something from Lance... He's either doing triathlons or some sort of podcast. It seems like he is trying to get back into the cycling community. It seems like he is wanting another chance to have some kind of normalcy in cycling. Is everyone too hard on Lance...

I think we all get used to riding the routes we ride a lot and are comfortable with riding. But with a gravel bike comes a sense of adventure, don't you agree? With that being said, do you try to explore new routes as often as you can on your gravel bike? Do you jump on it and look for new...

Would you rather ride a carbon road bike or an aluminum road bike? Why would you rather ride one over the other? Myself, I find that the carbon road bike is a lot better for the roads in my area. They're not as smooth as paved roads elsewhere and that carbon helps with shock and friction which...

How do you feel about fenders on road bikes? I've seen a lot of riders who use fenders to help keep their bikes and even themselves clean. Other riders tell me it's just extra weight added to the bike. I don't use them. Do you?

How technical will get when mountain biking? Myself, I don't want to get too technical because I don't want to wreck and hurt myself. Stuff takes longer to heal when you're in your 40s! I do ride technical trails, but I'll get off the bike and push in the really technical parts if I feel...

What's your favorite gravel biking routes? For me, I love rail trails for gravel biking. Most of our local ones are either gravel or fine crushed limestone. It makes for a perfect surface and terrain for a gravel bike. I like them the best because there aren't any vehicles to worry about. How...

Have you ever done a century ride by road bike? I'm talking 100 miles, not a metric century. I've done two different century rides on my road bike. My first one was pretty easy, and it took me about 8 hours to complete even with an hour off the biker for rest and lunch. The second one took me...

Why is it that vehicle drivers hate us so much? Cycling is good for you. It's good for the environment. It reduces gas quantities. It reduces maintenance costs for roadways. It may slow you down for a few minutes at most - why hate on road cyclists so much? Why not leave early if you don't...
