Pet Peeves
Lately there have been a few things that have been getting under my skin. They are really small things but still they've been annoying me. The first is clipless pedals. As you know I've recently switched over to platforms. For years and years I thought if you want to be a fast mountain biker you had to use clipless pedals. Much of this was encouraged by the bike industry. Boy was I wrong... I'm much faster now and I can hammer without any residual knee pain. I feel like a kid again! What's really irritating is when I see magazines still pushing clipless pedals like they are what real mountain bikers use. They are just plain wrong (and I shouldn't care but for some reason it still bugs me). Another pet peeve is people at the gym lifting way too much weight with really bad form. Lift only what you can handle and still maitain good form. I know my form isn't perfect but from what I can see in the mirror it's not that bad. And if you can't sit the weights down with out dropping them then you are lifting too much. Stems (and handle bars) on new bikes. Why can't they catch up with the latest trends and start putting short stems with wide bars? Every bike I've ever gotten I've had to replace those two parts.
