Le n, I saw something on twitter that says they are working on it...maybe already fixed it for some browsers?

I think the issue with the pedals is that 1) they must rotate freely and b) when using them, your foot has to be on the very top. So I'm not sure there is a way to weight them from flipping over. I think most are weighted though so that the front (when pedaling) of the pedal points up if you are not clipped in. Most (all?) have a little ridge on the top, like that tiny spike on the toe clip ones, that allows you to slide your foot over the pedal and catch the ridge. This means you don't have to flip it with your toe, just slide your shoe along the pedal until the piece on the bottom of your shoe hits the ridge of the pedal and then push down to clip in.

Hey, is anyone here familiar with the Philadephia airport? I am flying to Dublin tonight through there (barring cancelled flights, eeek) and I have a 2hr 40 minute layover where I have to get from terminal F to Terminal A. Which, looking at the online plan, are the opposite ends of the airport. I'm wondering how difficult this is. Do I have to bust a move as soon as I get off the plane? I am totally screwed to make my connection?

I've been told by someone who travelled Hfx>Phil>Paris that since I preclear customs in Halifax, I am treated like a domestic passenger in Philly...I really hope so.

I did Philly for B'more>Philly> Madrid, and had to take a bus from the plane (puddle jumper) to terminal, and a train and a brisk walk, and we were kind of delayed, but I made it just in time- but I was hauling ass. I'm pretty sure I didn't have a 3 hour layover because I recall several of my other coworkers boggling at how close me and a couple others were cutting it. I don't recall doing any customs, but I was a domestic passenger from the get-go.

Can't speak to the amenities of PHL, it was a pretty quick run-thru.

eta: Looks like you'll need to take a bus shuttle to terminal F from either A or C terminal. I must've come into a different terminal, cause I remember a train. Or maybe I'm delusional.

Thanks sara! There does look like a little set of train tracks on the map. [link]

My tentative plan is to bust a move right off the plane and if I have time at the other end, great.

I go back eight years or so now, but at the time I was distinctly unimpressed with PHL's amenities. I wasn't so much concerned with getting around inside the airport as with travel to and from, but I believe they operate shuttle buses between Terminals A and F. With a layover of over two hours, that should see you right.

Good to know, Billytea, thanks.

Buffistas really do know everything.

I think that's actually the SEPTA line into the city, IIRC.

Have a great trip, Sue! I knew you were planning this but I didn't realize we had gotten to Actually Going Time. Whee!

Sue, Philly's pretty manageable -- I would still say change terminals once your flight lands, just to be safe, but with the shuttle bus it shouldn't be hard or take too long.

There aren't a lot of things to do and/or eat in that airport, but the basics are there. And as far as I recall, bt is right -- that's the SEPTA train line, not a terminal connection. Look for the shuttle bus.

And have fun! Ireland! Bring back pictures!

So I have no idea where my train memory comes from. Certainly not Madrid- that was a fuckton of walking and stairs (sooo not disability friendly, but I found that true of Spain in general, both in 1996 and now.)

I'm at the healing point in my crowns I should think of flossing them. I'm askeered to.
