Hi Rivfolk! I need to buy a bike located in Nashville, but I’m in New York.. Anyone in or around Nashville willing to lend some time in trade for something like goods or money? Or maybe you know a decent shop to get the bike packed up at? Maybe you wouldn’t mind holding a big beautiful

[RBW] Re: Flat Pedal Users: Favorite size/shape?

I love V.P. pedals until they start going bad, which is pretty quick in my experience. Needing to rebuild a pedal regularly gets in the way of my minimal maintenance schedule, so I decided to try these Fookers- https://photos.app.goo.gl/NXPs7HwaAgJwDU8V9 because they’re cheap/disposable. To my
