      Does this count as a gravel bike? 😄

            @derek111 awesome, I love that sticker! Fit's perfectly to my part pace style of riding.

            Another topic, I normally don't ride my bike in boots because my pedals smash my boots and it feels like trash. Sometimes however, it's required when it's really cold and I choose to ride to work, because riding bikes rules. Does anyone have some suggestions of boot friendly pedals which aren't extremely slippery?

              I feel like RaceFace MTB pedals would fit that bill @BalticBob https://www.raceface.com/products/chester-pedal-2020?variant=31913986490450

              Think it, be it.

                @BalticBob I love my OneUp Components composite flat pedals. They are affordable (in Canada) and do the trick. I swap out for them on any of my bikes when I don't want to clip in, be it gravel or mountain bikes.

                  I have the Crankbrothers "Stamp" and they grip anything that touches them, including your shins

                      I have the stamp pedals on my MTB and they rule, big fan. Anything with metal pins generally has a bad relationship with my shin but it recent years it’s been my boots taking the brunt of the beating. I attribute this 100% to my improved bike skills, rather than the fact that I bought boots 😄

                      I’m leaning toward some plastic pedals for the winter / boot season. If Crankbrothers makes a plastic stamp, well, that might to the answer.

                        My ride the last few months. Got away riding my Trek Remedy and started to use this one. Not sure which category this belongs. It has some Gravel geometry but is also a city commuter. Overall I'm pretty happy with this!

                          After months of tinkering and making micro changes to seat height, setback, dropbars etc. I finaly start to zero in on the perfect bikefit. Also, my girlfriend is starting to get jealous of all the attention the bike gets from me.

                            days are getting shorter, evening rides more quiet...
