Once you skip the OMG Crankmob is Jesus part, they fumble through clothes, etc., but this show could really use some experienced cyclist. The amount of information out there shows that they do little homework on the issue, which is the alternative to not actually using the kinds of products you recommend.

I thought Kill Radio's TV show would have had more knowledge on these two topics, but this is pretty bad. Reading labels as you're hosting and co-signing whatever the label states. Come on. Even basic fender knowledge is lacking.

My review of Bike TalkS: product reviews / recommendations are not their strong point.

Maybe interview people is better suited for now.

Markie D (nee marky mark) hit it on the head. Just because you started riding a bike a year ago with your friends does not make you an expert.

Normally you give credence to someone with experience and knowledge, not a internet connection and an idea of what is cool.

Change of clothes is all you need. You could always ride naked, then put your clothes on after you arrive at your destination.

it's physically impossible for a bike to hydroplane, but cars will at the drop of a hat, so the best way to avoid getting hit on rainy days is to ride through the biggest puddles you can find.

THANK YOU... markd for extending your philosophy! Coolass and I shall both make sure that we are far more proficient in regards to the INFORMATION we provide from this day forth!

THANK YOU...smack or crack for having markd's back! Although, neither of us has ever claimed to be EXPERTS we both HAVE had a considerable amount of field experience and through that experience are attempting to spawn excitement and further growth within and throughout the cycling community! Just in case this helps you trust my opinion a bit more: I am riding my conversion fixed gear bike; with a front brake cuz I am smart, 206miles - straight, no stopping to Salton Sea this weekend (rain or shine) and made an even lengthier trip from SF 2 LA last year in june - half of it by myself! I host a ride on thursday nights that goes so long i often have to pull an all nighter before i go teach a spin class (stationary bike) @ 8am Friday morn. I sold my car 2 years ago because I like that I ride 40-60 miles a day and I never take the metro because I prefer Cahuenga Pass... I hand painted and assembled the two fixed gear bikes I had before this one and have been in and around the cycling community for a little over 3 years now AND... I can read! so what you got on that!? ;)

AND...

THANK YOU....larsenf for noticing me and my bike on the ride - i saw you too! I have had those handlebars in just about every position you could possibly think of and i am pretty sure the backwards erection is a keeper ;)

so why not share those experiences and translate them into what products you found worked or didn't work?

From an objective stand point, how the hell is anyone supposed to know that you have all this valuable and helpful information, if you don't offer it?

Does knowing that you have this information/ experience really change the content of the episode? Maybe you'll take the criticism in a positive light and share some of the interesting experiences you had touring LA, and how you got through the cool frigid and sometimes rainy nights.

smart people dont ride with backwards handlebars. im pretty sure the clueless kids on stolen conversions dont even roll like that. but hey, you painted a bike all by yourself. good for you.

Save old bread bags. Wear over your wool socks, under your shoes and put underneath your tights. In Indiana, I would use rubber-bands over them over my tights. Rubber gloves are also a good use when its so cold you fingers might freeze, helps keep the water off of them. Just wear your warm wind-proofie's over the rubber ones.

Bread bags: Free
Rubber Gloves: maybe 5 cents a ride when you buy bulk
The rest of your cycling clothing for cold and or wet rides: $200-$1000.
(yes 1000 dollars if you wanna ride smart in a cold climate, say under 40 degrees, add it up from base layer to technical winter jacket and you might find yourself with $1000+ dollars of technical wear for one winter/rain ride)

WARM, DRY HANDS AND FEET, PRICELESS

Ponchos work, but they don't keep your legs dry. Best i've seen is a rain jacket and pants combo for about 10 bucks at home depot and other retail locations (maybe target). I have my work books that are weatherproof, from wall-mart for like 25 bucks.

also, fender's can be crucial. In New York it's somewhat of a standard to get the kind you can attach to your seat post. They're easy to deal with and reliable.

I wonder where they sell neoprene fabric in bulk.
This way, some of us could get together and make some rain proof covers for regular shoes.
Also, I still have to make another trip down to some place to get a hold of some rain-pants.
Been holding for a few years since the last ones got destroyed.

The cheap full motorcycle suits are good too. The only problem is that the chamois area will come apart first since they are not designed for a lot of pedaling motion,

I have some very thick neoprene booties made by Trek. They are about 10 years old and look more like scuba gear. The only ones I will ride in anything lower than 35 degrees or wet and 45 degrees. They go over your cycling shoes and everything. Seriously makes you look like your going to go walk on the moon though. With these botties and the bread bags mentioned above, I could manage below freezing riding in Indiana.

REALLY!?!?!?!?!?

This content is PURE!

I never claimed to be an expert in anything! I do however claim to have ridden well over 1000 miles here in LA alone not to mention my well documented riding in NYC, Miami, and Las Vegas!

The show is about exposure. Are there shoestring budget ways to address issues? YES! There are also other ways! Im not looking for CHEAPEST OPTION, just OPTIONS! Forgive us for sharing OUR learning experiences with YOU!

Until YOU DO IT YOURSELF BETER! Keep WATCHING!

Complaints can always be directed to me CoolassMike @ g mail!

Grow with US or NOT! We will only get better! Hollaback!

Thanx for the LOVE to those who ar open!

All will come around in due time!
