@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower Fact is humans should not live that far north as we do 🫣 Even with climate changes clearly visible now it is still cold as hell / too cold / not pleasant from October till early June! That is 8 months of cold + 4 months "okay-ish if not for the rain". And usually only 4-6 weeks out of that 4 months are properly "warm". I mean I ride bike all winter and have no problems with snowy -5C in Jan. But +5C every morning at mid May? Planet Earth comme on 🙆♂️😁
@ati1 Yeah... And a few couples of days ago it's been +27... I've been cycling whole year for years, but the last winter has broken me. It has been exceptionally cold and humid and it should have been cold but dry... @cycling@rower
#GoodMorning#Gravel! The nice weather is back for a moment, so it would be a waste not to go #cycling! #Cybina valley #forest as beautiful as always!🥰 Only the water levels are so low…😔
Today I’ve done a few things, but the one I’m most excited about is we’ve gone for a #night ride and we’ve booked our lodging for June Baltic #bicycle trip! Apart of that, it was cold as fuck, insufferable…🥶
We also went to a picnic with friends to burn Marzanna (en - Morana, an effigy) to chase the Winter away and spent some nice nature time with the family!🥰
#GoodMorning#Gravel has been a bliss with no more major pain points like cold, rain or wind. Finally, I can ride with less clothes and the legs are starting to feel like blazing guns!🥰😂
#GoodMorning#Gravel! It’s been raining this morning, but luckily it has ended before my departure. #Forest of #Cybina valley soaked all the water in, so I haven’t even got dirty!🤷🏻♂️🥰
@rdfhrn Yeah... We have an artificial lake/regatta course in Poznan that they've drained for some works. as they do periodically. This is the first year they have trouble filling it back in, because there is so little water in the river they've built it on...
They actually had to postpone some rowing events...
@tk Interesting to me that the more modern-looking one seems to be a fixed sidecar (effectively a tricycle for handling purposes) while the older one appears to allow the bicycle to lean into corners at least a little. It does surprise me that they put the attachment points in the second one at different heights. I'd expect that to cause wheel scrub if the bike or the road is tilted. I wonder how it actually handles?
As mountain bikers, Presta valves are something we just deal with. However, it's strange how many other things we have optimized, such as headsets, seat posts, drivetrains, wheels, and even shoes. Why haven't we fixed the one thing that's actually broken? Today we'll discuss the kinds of valves cyclists have used over the years, why mountain bikers ended up with Presta, and how new options have become available, like premium, tubeless Schrader, and Clik.
Kicked of the day with #KidsOnBikes going to school and then I went for some urban #gravel shenanigans. Gotta catch them kilometres all, no time for resting…😂🥹
@cowboyminer I’m running Continental Terra Trail 27,5 x 1,75”. Relatively inexpensive, durable. I’ve been previously also satisfied with WTB Horizon (same size), but their price in Poland has been atrocious… @cycling@rower
#GoodMorning#Gravel! Another #Cybina#forest ride. The weather is weird, 15°C afternoon followed by 0°C night… It’s difficult to dress accordingly because you either first freeze your ass off or boil in the end…🤣🤷🏻♂️
#GoodMorning#Cycling was pretty much impossible today. Straight up dangerous, so I just took the #KidsOnBikes to school and called it a day… Kids had fun, though…😂💀
@arkd szczerze mówiąc to nie tyle, ile wynikaloby z marketingowego zachwalania. Odkopałem jedną z sierpniowych jazd, czas jazdy 4:33, zysk z ładowania to ~27 minut. Czyli (jak dla mnie) lepiej mieć niż nie mieć, zwłaszcza że cena nie-solar była taka sama. @ssamulczyk@rower
