More cyclists make for a better city. Contact me if you want more specifics (johnspeare@gmail.com), but if you spend some time reading the archives of this blog, you'll see my view of riding in spokane: I love it; 4 seasons, lots of mountains/hills; super close to rural dirt roads; Columbia River and a zillion lakes within a day's ride for great S24O's; huge roads in the city with pretty moderate car traffic; great beer.

I currently live in Indiana, but my fiancee and I are thinking about moving to Spokane, and I'm trying to get a sense for what cycling opportunities it has to offer. So far, it looks pretty good. Any information to offer? Thanks.<BR/><BR/>- Michael <BR/><A HREF="http://apertome.com/blog/" REL="nofollow">My blog: http://apertome.com/blog/</A>Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-47696530276670529402008-03-05T16:02:00.000-08:002008-03-05T16:02:00.000-08:00Unless you're getting a great deal on the pedals, ...Unless you're getting a great deal on the pedals, I mean really great, don't guy them (something tells me they are coming with an REI employee discount). Rachel has a pair and she wasn't double-sided, mountain bike pedals instead. Buy her pedals if you like so she can buy what she wants.bleckbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222872724006904969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-67177267542816972922008-03-04T09:39:00.000-08:002008-03-04T09:39:00.000-08:00Thanks!Thanks!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683137564994734073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-53527364887874673402008-03-04T07:15:00.000-08:002008-03-04T07:15:00.000-08:00Hi Michael,I could try to explain this, but it's b...Hi Michael,<BR/><BR/>I could try to explain this, but it's been done much better elsewhere. Go to Sheldon's site (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/) and search "chainline," then "tread cranks."
