Cycling with Shimano Ultegra Di2

by Ray Garza        rgvcycling.com


My local bike shop had a bike on display last year that had electronic shifting on it. I recall seeing the external battery pack on it and thought how cool to have. I knew of the benefits of the electronic shifting such as precise shifting all the time. Gone are the days of cable stretch and skipping shifting.

I then noticed that it too had the electronic shifting system as well. Icing on the cake I felt. A few days later I had the bike in my home. The bike that I got was the Specialized Roubaix SL4 Comp Ultegra Di2 (see Bike Upgrades).

The trail runs along Brushy creek. Most of the trail is tree-lined so you can really get a sense of seclusion.

Pedernales Cycle Track Nearing Completion

austinonabike.com


The Pedernales cycle track, which we have admitted having ambivalent feelings toward, is nearing a completion this month. After having ridden this path more and more over the recent months, my reservations have waned somewhat, though the section between 7th and Cesar Chavez remains…problematic for me. Anywho.
According to Nathan Wilkes, who I ran into along the trail the other day, the trail will likely be complete in the coming weeks, with the lanes already painted and the …
