They featured a rider named Eric Vanhala (spelling?). He was a big guy whom I think Ned Overend discovered and signed him on the Specialized team. This Eric guy was supposed to be the next big thing in the mountain biking world. What happened to this guy? Was he a huge disappointment? Where is he?

I am flying out to hike Kilimanjaro tomorrow. I ordered hiking gear, but unfortunately this hasn’t arrived. Just wondering if there are any options once I arrive in Kilimanjaro to purchase clothes?

I’ve broke 4 shoelaces since the start of year mountain biking. I need to find a pair of shoes that I can wear mountain biking, without laces. Vans and converse slipons seem a bit flimsy, any other suggestions. Right now I have been wearing skate shoes without laces, and I tried Doc Martens but the laces broke two fast. Now they don’t have shoelaces. Any suggestions, I’ve trying tucking the laces in, and double knotting, yet trail side branches, and rubbing next to the gears and chain, break them quickly, or if they don’t the next time I wear the shoes the laces break when I’m at work or out and about. It’s really embarrasing to have to finish what i’m doing and then find shoelaces. Anyone else with this problem?

And why do people preffer hiking?

I’m not sure whether to use clipless pedals when i mountain bike or just platform pedals.

I like a medium size dog that preferably doesn’t shed too much. What breed should I look at for a hiking companion that will accept carrying a pack and not get too tired or aggitated?

say you get caught in a storm and injured and have to spend the night in the mountains. what would be the best survival knife for this type hiking.

I’ve gone hiking before, but it’s been a few years. So I was wondering what would be some good clothes and shoes to wear? It will be in Vermont. So the weather is suppose to be partly sunny and low 60’s, on the ground at least, up on the mountain it will be a bit colder I imagine. So what would be the best stuff to wear?

My bike has no front shocks, it is a road bike. Should I not go off road biking on trails and stuff with it even if I put offroad tires on it?

I’m having my second date with a guy and we’re going hiking so I thought it might be nice to surprise him with a little lunch. What are some good ideas for things to bring/make?
