Shane Sody commented on Dahondude's group Tuesday Morning Mount Lofty Madness"I'd like to know whether there's any physical reason for that - rolling resistance on dark cold bitumen versus light warmer bitumen? It's a new concept to me. All my PRs have been set at 5.50am."

Shane Sody replied to Matt W's discussion pedals"I have used both types. The mountain bike pedals have an advantage in utility, in that the cleat can be recessed so that you can walk more comfortably in the shoes when you are off the bike.
However in terms of translating the power of your…"

Gus K said… - Hi Shane, thanks for adding the post 'what's your excuse for not cycling' to Stumbleupon. I was doing some digging about and looking at the site analytics and that post had a lot of traffic. I dug some more and found the traffic had come from Stumbleupon. I also added the site to Stumble because I know how it can help searchability.
Cheers

Smudge said… - Hi Shane, sorry, not sure what coffee shop we will hit when we get there, guess it will depend on who wants to go where, and how many people are already at the coffee shops!
When I head through this way, it is normally on one of my Victor return rides, & I only really stop at Victor on these for a quick bite before heading home again.
