  1. Hey all,

    I waited till I had a bunch of questions to ask before I started this.

    1. What way do pedals thread into cranks. At my lbs, the woman said
    left-counterclockwise and right-clockwise?

    2. Why does everyone ride across skinnies so slow. I tend to ride
    through with speed across them. Do I need to slow it down.

    3. Why do people gap w/ no hands sometimes. Is it just for kicks?

    THNX

  2. 1. Yes, people at bike shops are very experienced at putting pedals on
    cranks. It figures they would know. The common mistake newbies make is
    assuming 100+ years of cycling technology has got it backwards, and
    that they should go the opposite ways...

    2. Most people ride slow on skinnies to stay on. If you can do it fast,
    that's cool. Also if you slip off a skinny it's easier to cope with if
    you're going slow, but doing it fast should make for better video. 🙂

    3. No-handed gapping sounds pretty awesome. Why do some people ride
    bicycles with no hands?
