I’m considering getting these, only ever had speedplay and always feel like the pedal surface is so small, would love to see what it feels like to have more contact. Anyway, I think I’ll go with the 12nm bec I’m 108lb woman and don’t want feel stuck in them when I want to click out or have trouble getting in. After 14 yrs hiatus and 3 hamstring surgeries my legs are not in the best of shape, but I still want get up to speed on the latest and greatest parts as much as possible to motivate me with riding again.

How can a person win a helmet like this? I am still wearing a cracked and split Giro from ’02, but have no funds… Perhaps rider give away stuff after races?

Also, besides, Lance and Kelly (Slater), nobody has the right to say anything about anyone else.

Unless you are proven best – somebody will eventually allow you to feel inadequate – providing this is how, at least in part, one define’s oneself.

Thanks for the article. I surf – I have a hard time in the water when someone is a newb. However, only bc they are dangerous, and, one more obstacle to getting things done.

I could care less how they look though – etiquette is key. I cycle to work, my bike is a pos and my clothes are scrubs. I could care less about times. I could give a rats rear about people being faster, more stylish, and, full of themselves.

Interesting read.

Comment on Schwinn Madison Pro Review by Maddy

Maddy — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 05:38:39 +0000

I just bought a 2011 on sale for a great price. Unlike Sam above, I did get the ugly purple/white/yellow color scheme. It is so ugly that I love it! Cosmetics aside, it rides great and it is quite stable under me. One thing to note is that this year and the newer 2012 does not come with a 48t front ring, but a 46t. This may be why Sam thinks it rides on the easy side:) The componenets are on the mediocre side and could benefit from some upgrading here and there, but in due time. They are fine to ride as is.

Bottom line, I recommend this bike to others looking for a budget friendly SS/FG.
