    Not necessarily. It helps, but many universities will accept you into a Master's program if they think your educational background and gradesindicate you can be successful in their program.

    Had my first "I can't clip out" crash today

    Agreed. My city is not a bike friendly city at all. There are no dedicated bike lanes on the streets, though they have designated a couple ofstreets as "bike routes" which means they painted a stencil of a person on a bike every so often on the right hand side of the lane. The road is notany...

    Had my first "I can't clip out" crash today

    I think it would be challenging to ride a fixed gear bike around the city. I'm always on and off the breaks, hopping tracks and pot holes, and all sorts ofother stuff that is easier when you can stop pedaling and/or set your pedals to perform a specific task.

    Had my first "I can't clip out" crash today

    Yeah, the damage is minimal. There is a nice bruise developing on my hand, but everything else is cool. I was actually kind of surprised that Idid not get any scrapes. The bike made it through great - no broken levers, bent derailleurs, or frame scratches. The only mark is a small scuff on one...

    Had my first "I can't clip out" crash today

    I am very lucky that no cars came into play. I use Time Alium pedals. I ride an urbanized mountain bike, so weight is not an issue. There are road pedals thatare lighter, but these are really good pedals and you can get them on PricePoint or Jenson for around $50 most of the time. Nope, 27...

    Had my first "I can't clip out" crash today

    Well, the inevitable finally happened today and I crashed due to not being able to get my dang shoe unclipped from the pedal. I was out riding on the streets and was trying to cross a busy four-lane road. I was getting my track stand on and waiting for a slow moving car to go by so I could...

    If you hit the lotto how silly would you get? *Mega millions $225 mil tonight*

    I'd never work again. Of course, I would make my family and select friends comfortable for life. Then I would buy a condo within walking distance to Wrigley, season tickets to the Cubs, Bears, and Bulls, some new guitars, a new bike, and hire a wealthmanager so the money grows.

    Seriously Would Drug Legalization Benefit the underclass??

    The laws most frequently enforced via jail time in the U.S. are those which members of the lower class most commonly break. As someone said above, the penalsystem is full of nonviolent drug offenders, the majority of whom come from the lower economic classes in our society. Moreover, there is a...

    The 10s =Most Comfortable

    I love the Xs; they fit almost like wrestling shoes and are super comfortable. As some have said, I also like the XIX - I prefer the SE because I think the lace cover makes the shoe a little stiff. Am I the only one that likes XXs? Mine are very comfortable.
