Apparently Q factor is a term that was coined by the great orator Grant P. Q, meaning “quack,” a reference to looking like a duck as the stance gets wider.

Has anybody ever read all the way through Just Ride?
I own it and have barely ever cracked it
I own a signed copy (only because I ordered from Riv) and read through it some years ago. Can’t say I remember much about it, but it did help me realize that it’s okay to ride a bike in regular clothes/shoes which was a very different mindset from where I was at the time.

I just read the first few “chapters” of my copy and it’s sort of funny how non-radical it is ten years later
Certainly like 10-20% of it is pure Grant kookiness but a lot of it is just… how a lot of people are riding bikes now?..
