#GoodMorning#Cycling! We’re down from summer heat to 8°C and #rain! I was hesitant to go into the wet, but I guess I’m not made of sugar!😂 #KidsOnBikes aren’t either!🥰
That time I caught a flat on a rail trail after dark with 5km to go so decided to just pump up loads to get me through but I was running these garbage continental tubes with a threaded valve core for some reason and when removing my pump the valve core unthreaded and the pressure blasted it into the darkness so I inflated again and zip tied my pump inside the spokes and it fucking worked. Urge to go tubeless intensifies. #BikeTooter@bikes
@christ One advice, I guess. It that's not your only bike, you better ride it often. Tubeless doesn't like just sitting around.
I went tubeless once. Lasted for about 3 months and when it was time for a service, the mess it created discouraged me completely from keeping the setup.
Washed the rims, replaced the tires and went back to good old tubes...
#GoodMorning#Bornholm 🇩🇰! Today I’ve done a 115km tour around the island! It wasn’t that bad except the wind on the west coast and that nasty double digit kicker at #JonsKapel… I’m a little proud of myself!🥰
I used to love #bicycle touring, but after years of doing routes most riding wouldn't even consider, having various kinds of "type 2 fun" times, and then COVID hit, I just can't get myself to do it. That even applies to supported tours like #BikeSTP! Being a "sitting duck" in a sea of drivers of all personalities scares the everliving shit out of me. :blobfoxscared:
During the pandemic and motivated by the psychological pressures of quarantine, I learned how to ride a #motorcycle, and went through various scooters and larger bikes to get to where I am now. I spent so much time riding street (really rural highways to or through natural landmarks) that I got bored of that, too, so I bought a dual-sport so I could, well, honestly ride gravel roads to places farther off that allow OHV and/or larger use. That dual-sport was a CRF450RL and was sprung custom for a much heavier guy than me, which made it super tall for me. :blobfoxsweating: As you can guess, I traded it in for a #Tenere 700, which I will be riding this weekend on a rural gravel highway that I've ridden before on a much heavier street bike. :blobfoxhappy:
#GoodMorning#BalticSea! I’ve got nowhere particularly interesting to go, so I’ve decided to speed along the seaside through #Dziwnow and #Miedzywodzie to #Kolczewo… Forecast has been unfavourable, but I’ve avoided rain!🥰 Once again felled from the #bicycle at low speed…🤦🏻♂️😁
An entire day we’ve spent on the #beach! What a pleasure, despite overall poor weekly forecast… Favourable water to air temperature ratio made the #BalticSea not so bad…😂 Dear Franiu crashed just at at the end…😅😩
@ssamulczyk dzien dobry mam takie nietypowe pytanie. Czy dobre się domyślam że jest Pan w okolicy wyspy Wolin. Jestem tu na gravelu ale ma problem z naładowaniem baterii w AXs. Ma pan może ładowarkę pożyczyć na szybkie doładowanie ? Może jakaś wspólna przejażdżka ? Kontakt do mnie to zbysiowudin2008@gmail.com
@zbysiowudin2008 Hej! Niestety, ładowarka została w Poznaniu, więc nie pomogę… Do Wolina mam ze 30km, jestem tu z rodziną i przejażdżka raczej średnio wyjdzie, bo wstaje na rower o 5 i mam ograniczony czas… Powodzenia z ładowarką!
#GoodMorning#Gravel! What can you do after #cycling until 1am? Get up at 5:30am and trash your legs even more!😂 I’m surprised with the power I’ve put out after 4h of sleep and no food…🙈
@vorsprung Well, my audax is around the family of 5 (kids are age 7, 5 and 1…🤣)… I guess 1/3 of the time I spend on cycling is at night and it usualy means I take all the „spare” time I can to squeeze a bike ride in… @cycling@rower
@vorsprung When my dear wife allows I can have fun, though. I’ve been at Eroica twice. First was the classic one, second a modern gravel adventure in 44°C!
I’m planning to do all sorts of “audaxy” things when the kids are more self-sufficient…🤷🏻♂️
#GoodMorning#Gravel! It’s gonna be hot today. By the time I’ve finished my ride it was already around 30°C and it was quite early. I guess we can expect a #summer storm this evening…😂🤷🏻♂️
