You’ve changed my riding
/1 Comment/in Coaching, Reader mail/by leelikesbikesLee, I’ve been riding Mountain bikes for about 30 years. I rode the second Rock Hopper in Anedale park. 100% self taught and I’m quick on the trails and old school downhill aka super d. (recently took 2nd at the Otter). I took your technique teaching class in Berkeley. That class completely changed my riding […]

Game on in Superior, CO
/6 Comments/in Trail building/by leelikesbikesAfter two years of meetings, presentations, site visits and political fu, I’m officially in contract with the Town of Superior to design and help build their new bike park.

First descent: Red Trail at Left Hand Canyon
/11 Comments/in Downhill/by leelikesbikesToday I enjoyed a real treat: A first run down a new double-red — DOUBLE EXTREME — trail near my house. The trail is designed for trials motorcycles. It’s awesome on an Enduro (if you don’t mind hiking). I don’t mind hiking.
Going all out
/2 Comments/in Skills/training/by leelikesbikesAt this week’s PowerMax indoor training session at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine, I showed up humble but ready to use what I have. I used it all.
27.2 mm adjustable seatpost?
/10 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, I have been looking for an adjustable seatpost in a 27.2 for my Fisher X-Cal. I know that Gravity Dropper is a good one and is on the list, but I was also wondering if you had heard of the Kind Shock I7-R Remote-Adjust Seatpost? When you get a change let me know what […]
Moto vs bike: right-hand vs left-hand front brake
/7 Comments/in Ask Lee, Moto/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, Since you ride both bikes and motos, I know you’ve had to deal with this conundrum, and I’m curious as to your take on it. A long time ago I rode motos, mostly dual sport (and mostly on the street). I’m a newbie to MTB, and I think I’ve also decided I want […]
Attack position success story
/in Uncategorized/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, Russ [my husband] and I were messing around at Arastradero, a local openspace area in Palo Alto. He was taking pictures of me, and I noticed how bad my body position was. After that, I started working on it, and we ended up with this picture. Please let me know what you think. […]
