Any of you guys use them fancy elastic shoelaces so you don't have to tie your sneakers? Which ones you recommend?<HR>
I use Yankz, but I doubt there is much difference between brands. You could also just put a toggle on your regular laces.
You breathe every 3 strokes? Every 4? Does it vary??[I try to breathe every 3 so I can see what is going on to either side of me. Sometimes I breathe every stroke, especially if it is really congested and I need to keep an eye on the people around me.
Do you REALLY do all that bike and chain maintenance EVERY time you ride??Um, good question. I hate bike maintenance. I wipe down the frame and if it was wet out I will clean and lube the chain.
Do you laugh at people who bring a bucket/stool into the transition area for a seat while changing shoes??Yes, as I fall on my a** because I don't have a handy stool

I bring a little towel to put my stuff on and although I try not to sit down, if I need to I just sit on the towel. Simplicity is key in transitions. The less stuff you have there the less time you will spend wondering what to do.
