Yesterday was a surprising #RoadBike day… I was ready to go out with little Frank, but only then I’ve noticed a flat tire on my #gravel#bicycle. It simply was faster to change shoes than fix the flat… I didn’t even have time to dust the bike off…🤡😂
I've also fixed the flat, so the bike is ready for the evening ride we've planned with my trusted night cycling friend/companion. It's gonna be fabulous, as always!😍
#GoodMorning#Gravel! 2°C and #fog so thick it instantly condensed on everything. I could have used some wipers on my shades… No wind, though, so I was having so much fun!🥰🫣
#GoodMorning from the #rain shithole!😂 Surprisingly, I’ve managed to squeeze myself into a weather window with almost no precipitation…🙈😁 I’ve taught #KidsOnBikes well, they’re not afraid to get wet!💪🏻
@metalbiker Yes, that’s a phone. Wide angle lense of iPhone 14 Pro. If I had to download footage from the cam to later process it somewhere I’d probably stop doing it…😂🙈
#GoodMorning freezer! It’s cold as hell today, with temperatures as low as 3°C in the morning… Woolen hat and socks smiled from the closet along with mandatory gloves…🤣 At least it was sunny…🙄
It was unbelievably cold today. 5°C felt like winter and I regretted I didn’t wear the winter jacket… I also started looking for some heated gloves, because I have no idea how I’m gonna survive the real winter…🤡
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower I could recommend "lobster" or "split mitt" style country skiing mittens/gloves. Better than gloves because your adjacent fingers warm each other but your middle and index fingers aren't tied to each other. Maybe get a size larger than normal and you can wear thin merino wool gloves underneath if it's really cold. YMMV but heated gloves never ever seemed worth it even at -15°C.
This is what I mean https://varuste.net/en/p100526/swix-endure-split-mitt
#GoodMorning#Swimming on a #Bicycle! The things we do for love…🥰 Torrential #rains are passing through Europe, but with the right gear everything is doable!😂🤡
@Cycling_Liz It started raining at night. There are places that look far worse now, but I’ve chosen not to go there…🤷🏻♂️😁
It was surprisingly pleasant and refreshing for 7°C!😂
I guess the worst rainfall is yet to come. We expect floods in Poland as the forecast says it’s gonna be 300l/m2 in 3 days.💀 Poznan is quite safe, though, with only local floodings (mostly bad draining). The river is well regulated in here and it doesn’t collect water from the mountains…😅
#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!🥰
@bobiko tak sobie dalej ogladam film z #AmsterdamDanceMission od Ciebie z wczoraj i w sumie - skoro #ParadaWolnosci jest tak spektakularnym sukcesem to moze przejazd platform po #Poznan.iu tez zostanie reaktywowany? :D
Oglądając ten film, pomyślałem ze to dopiero była patologia ;)) (przekładając na wspolczesne czasy). Białe rękawiczki, kowbojskie kapelusze, koleś tańczący w przebraniu, etc. przy okazji przejazd po starym jeszcze Poznaniu (wciaz pamietam te tereny niezabudowane przez CH).
#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…😂🤷🏻♂️
#Night#Gravel goes on despite my toe taking the colour of a a ripe plum. I already regret this in the morning, but also I’m getting ready for a 6am ride as we speak, so I will regret it even more…
#GoodMorning#bicycle! The #gravel grind goes on, as I keep myself properly stressed out and malnutritioned!😂🙈 #Cybina valley #forest again, as my calendar for today is as stretched as it can be!
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower I guess they help us find you but they do kind of distract from you words. And I do love reading about everyone's bicycling shenanigans 🚴♀️ 🤪
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower - Ha. I don't doubt it. Mine was 13 years old first beat me to the top of the local mountain and I was in decent shape. I've never again caught him, but he makes me take my pulls.
@patmikemid I’m still skin and bones so I really like mountains. I will make it a challenge for them!😂 I also like long sustained efforts. Hope to pass on the passion and the beauty of going up the hill…🥰@cycling@rower
