ZIXPY visited Historic Downtown Rockmart and Enthuza Cycles yesterday to learn more about the services Enthuza offers for riders on the Silver Comet Trail.

Enthuza, owned by very knowledgeable Jason, sells road bikes, gravel bikes, e-bikes, and mountain bikes for all ages and skill levels. They also provide the hands down best bicycle repair service along the Silver Comet trail. Need a snack, drink, or bike part? Enthuza has you covered. You can rent bikes and e-bikes by the hour for a pedal adventure along the well paved trail. Or, inquire about a guided half-day tour. Enthuza is your go-to concierge of the Silver Comet trail.

Downtown Rockmart has been revitalized and is welcoming visitors to its lovely quaint shops and cute restaurants. It’s not the Rockmart of yesteryear. We loved it! In fact, ZIXPY and Enthuza Cycles are working together to enhance the Silver Comet Trail experience. Stay tuned! Monday, ZIXPY and Enthuza will visit with Three Strands Vineyard and Winery to discuss collaboration with them on their recent addition to the Silver Comet Trail. How about a Pedal and Pour tour?

As the 1980s turned into the 1990s, mountain biking was a wave still building, and the crest of that growing wave was shaped by cross-country racing. At the sharp end of the ‘pedal until it all turns red’ set, there was much to be desired in terms of the actual pedals being used. Road racers had clipless pedals, but mountain biking was still somewhere far behind that evolution. Hiking boots and beartrap pedals had given way to Suntour XC-Pros or similar, with doubled-up steel toeclips and two Alfredo Binda straps per pedal cinching down on a Rivat or Sidi cyclocross shoe and requisite cleat. This was not an ideal way to go off-road. The alternative–going full roadie and taking smooth plastic soles and massive triangular Look cleats into the dirt–was far worse.

In 1990, Shimano dropped a dense little bomb on the scene and promptly salvaged dignity for all. The SPD M737 pedal, an addition to the Deore XT line that year, suddenly brought full clip-in pedaling to the masses. And it did so without compromise. The cleat was small and unobtrusive, and was easily contained within the tread of a shoe that was otherwise totally normal looking. No more walking like a duck and fearing smooth tile floors. The pedal itself was a hefty little brute, but featured spring-loaded retainers both fore and aft, so the rider could mash down and step straight into the pedal, then twist to release. The spring tension on each side of the pedal could even be adjusted. The ‘two slots drilled in the sole’ pattern Shimano used to mount the cleats became the default drilling pattern for every mountain bike shoe that has come since, and the pedals themselves became so immediately ubiquitous that the word ‘spud’ was for a while the common term for any off-road clipless pedal.
