that's interesting.. i would have said from feel that accelerating and especially sprinting up hills i was pulling up - but perhaps the benefit is just that my feet are stuck to the pedal at the top rather than lifting off.

i feel "panniers lol" is an appropriate response here.

my jersey pockets are full, that's the point.

i'm not! the rapha stuff is pretty high tech, merino/synthetic blend - i just wear shorts over the bottom half, partly because i feel somewhat exposed in just lycra, partly because it's kind of drafty without. another benefit is more pockets for longer rides. i'm not sure what the shorts are made from, but they're not straight cotton anyway - they don't seem to absorb sweat.

i just came back from a 100 mile ride - you're a nutter to be doing it without cleats - you lose so much energy and it's asking for foot/ankle problems if you don't have stiff soles. i hope you had straps at least.

as for the lycra i have to say i feel the same way.. it stays underneath or is replaced by too-expensive rapha stuff where applicable.

nice tshirts anyway.

maybe you do if you're close to falling asleep.

something which you need to learn, and does not necessarily work with your design

give me a touch screen and i will prefer the slider

when it comes to charge times, is there any difference between a cable from my computer or kindle/plug charger?

it's cool. but it is in no way unnerving.

I've never got that trick to make any difference, actually.
