HAHAHAHAHA It's ok man. Lots of crazies out there, and you can't tell by how they look sometimes. You'll be able to hold 40+ in a group soon enough. Just ride in groups more

What psi do you keep your tires at?
Read somewhere if you are over 180lbs to keep at max psi? My tires go up to 145.
I am going to be downtown today and I will need to buy a decent pump. MEC?

Shrug. I ride at 120 at the beginning of the week, and pump once weekly. By EOW they are around 110. I am not particular about tire pressure. I know that higher pressure is not necessarily better for rolling resistance, but I'd rather have a stiffer tire carcass to resist squirming when out of the saddle + hammering.
No need to be so high on clinchers. Actually, a lot of people seem to recommend 110 or below.

I think I've been riding at like 80 lol, don't have a good pump. Have one of those small hand ones, complete POS.
n00b question, but how often are you out of the saddle on a ride? I am only out on acceleration off lights.

A HAND PUMP? ZOMG. Actually, I was too ghetto when I first got my bike and did the same thing. It sucks, and you will pinch flat too easily at 80psi--especially at your gorilla weight XD XD
Get a real pump man. It's well worth it. And don't cheap out on one either!
I am always out of the saddle. But everyone rides different. 355-SI says he's always in saddle--even when climbing. I am like a monkey and I'm standing a lot.
Hard accel - stand Climbing - stand Sustained climbing - alternate stand/sit, but probably more standing

Recommendation on pumps and where to get one?
I am going to try standing on my hill here, probably going to get up faster, but will be dead by the end. I can barely climb it now sitting down.

How is the lezyne hand pump? They look nice. I also carry and a hand pump that i got from mec(sucks), but i also carry a spare tube and patches in my saddle bag. My main worry is being stuck with a pinch flat and not having a fix for it.

Total new question, and I know I can probably google to get an answer, but generally.. how long can you guys stay outhere riding until things are too dangerous? Meaning, when do you call it quits because of the snow/salt on the roads?
I'm seirously contemplating this as a hobby. I need to get myself active again, but I don't have the slightest clue where to begin (i.e., what type of bike to buy, how much to spend, etc.). There is a shop in Streetville here in Mississauga I might try and check out over the weekend to see if they can help. I don't trust myself buying used (didn't even know there are sizes to a bike.. lol I guess this isn't a walmart mountain bike).
Anyways.. any info that might help will be appreciated (Including Euphoric's ;))
