@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower Oh man… still jealous because I have this year not workout out in the gym on the 24th and neither will on the 31st. Being inactive is shit. 😪
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower During the summers here, the heat at home is nowhere near as bad as the heat outdoors, even in my unconditioned garage (where I have my erg).
@adamrice Oh there is no way I’m doing trainer in the summer… I ride at home only in winter and only when it’s unbearably wet. Cold doesn’t bother me, freezing rain does… As soon as it’s acceptable, I choose to ride outside… @cycling@rower
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower I pedal at such a slow cadence. I have to put real effort in to spin at about 95rpm. I'm more a Jan Ullrich grinding the gears rider than a Chris Froome whirl the pedals like the chain has come off one.
@arratoon I usually go around 90rpm, but indoor cycling is so mundane, I find it more and more difficult to motivate myself to do it… So, cadence reflects my passion for it…🤣 @cycling@rower
@ssamulczyk@cycling I start off with mesh vest, jersey, arm warmers and Primaloft jacket, then after 20 minutes I’m down to the vest. I mean, I’m wearing bibs too… 👀
@arratoon Sounds complicated but still quite acceptable… If I start in a jersey it’s soaking wet in 5 minutes… Everything has its pros and cons…🤷🏻♂️ I’d have to invest in a better fan… Wahoo Headwind looks nice but practicality calls for something more “multipurpose”…@cycling
@MOyster I know! I can do that outside, throwing the bike around a lot. I’m less convinced to do so with a bike pinned in place to a trainer… I’m sure I will try to go harder many times in the future…😂 @cycling@rower
@ssamulczyk I just did my first Zwift workout the other day swapping from a Tacx Neo to the Kickr Core and it is SO QUIET in comparison... I dunno how I put up with the whine before!
@refreshingapathy I only have comparison to rollers, which are just horrendous… Anything better than that gets to pass as acceptable!🫣 They have some pros, though. I’ve learned to ride with no hands on the bars (could do it outside, but it’s extra hard on rollers) and drink from a bottle during workout and my bike control went off the charts. I sometimes miss that!🙈
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower We're still working on how to ride a #bicycle. He's really taken to his sister's old scooter though and I ride my bicycle to keep up with him. Only about 6km to work but I wouldn't have time and there's no covered parking when I get there.
@lopta I don’t really have to go anywhere, my sons do. I do it for sports, the young one has to cover less than 1km. The older one, almost 7, has to do 5km to school and then the same distance back. We do have a car, but it doesn’t make much sense to use it in the European city center. They do not know the other way, so they’re cycling…🤷🏻♂️😂@cycling@rower
@ssamulczyk If you need encouraging to do so, it certainly looks as though you'd get the use from it.
I'm perpetually tempted by an insta360 but don't think I'd use it enough to justify. See also a drone.
@pete Yes. All those tempting toys that you think you’d use every day… Then it comes out it’s a hustle to take a drone with you and you end up playing with it more than riding…🤷🏻♂️
Also, buying #Fizik#TerraClimaX2#cycling#shoes is already starting to pay off! The thermal comfort is amazing and they really are weather-proof! It was a pricey but good choice! @cycling@rower
@luccamerel Thanks for asking! She’s doing great! Keeping her head straight, turning over and trying to crawl, making sounds and trying to mimick our lips movements! She’s also growing fast and getting heavier every day!🥰 And she’s only 3 months old!😱😁
