France isn't located within the Balkan's region.....

@FuzzyL: For them? Sure thing. I suggest them to start sweeping the streets with a toothbrush for start.... You see, it only takes a few pricks like those to destroy the image of all the rest. Sometimes this (good) image has been the result of a collective effort that took some time. Things like that (prick on stairs) happen more often in trails all over the world, were a bunch of brainless are "pushing" all other users off the land. Imagine that here at Greece there are several web pages that suggest to the aspiring builders to "explain" to the various landlords that there's nothing they can do to prevent digging in their property! It reminds me the BORG motto (prepare to be assimilated, all resistance... etc) Of course this phenomenon is quite global.

No offence, but you have to realize that responsible young people DO exist.

And after he nearly hit the people sitting on the stairs, he went on & edited his stupid video with the appropriate music, demonstrating exactly how much he respect the people around him. He kind of seems proud of his behavior… Useless pathetic prick.

@hellbelly: I still run those! I bought them because their platforms deflected the hard hits from the trail rocks, which otherwise would hit my shoes! UncaJohn

@hellbelly: Well, then i am too glad to see that i am right. My ATAC pedals are still in use. Despite my time-frame loss (!!!) i remember well why i tried them for the first time... Those Shimano's were completely unreliable when met terra firma's mud. I remember one particular ride, near the rain season, when all my friends were either fighting to clip-in with their Shimano's or trying to clip-off, while stuck in mud pits! Ha! UncaJohn

Ahoy there! I’m also an owner of 4 pairs of TIME pedals. One of them, the DH version have seen the worst abuse as they’re installed on my “all mountain bike”. All pedals still hold perfectly, despite age or abuse (hey, I’ve still run those thermoplastic ones on my HT. The first pair a set of blue aluminum ones, are still running through the early 90’s!!!) They work perfectly on dry, wet, mud and snow. Also, I have the impression that the Crankbrothers pedals copy the TIMES and not vice versa as the article claims… Please do check that! UncaJohn One more thing. Through the length of one of my favorite trails, at the southern slopes of Parnis mountain, I keep finding pieces of… Crankbrothers pedals! I am ridding this trail from 2001 and despite the hard conditions (rocks, roots and… rocks) m TIMES still work as new!

They seem to forget that in our world, some people are tall and some are short! It's like trying to press some fixed dimensions on a tailor-made costume...

I really like the Glamorous Glennis, not only for the good looks, but mainly because this bike is the result of an intensive and meticulous research. On the other hand, valuing as “sexy” a bike, reveals a rather troubled & perplexed personal perspective…
