Considering handlebar covers/mittens for doing #OpenStreetMap updates in cold weather. They're quite pricey though. Would they help?
It's fairly slow travel, with frequent stops near the footway=sidewalk to record data on the phone. Are they any good for that sort of thing, if I use them with a pair of insulated fingerless gloves underneath? #BikeTooter@bikes@mastobikes@cycling
@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
@LabSpokane
If you are talking about the average rider, they take their bike to the shop to get the pads replaced, but only at the point where they are making grinding noises or not working properly. Hydraulic discs self-adjust through the life of the pad, so they stay close to as-new performance right up until they're almost completely worn out, while rim or cable discs require constant adjustment to stay at optimum performance. @nothingfuture@hughtaylorscifi@v_perjorative@cycling@mastobikes
@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!🙈

A teraz wyobraźmy sobie, że ta zgraja zamiast broni ma aparaty. Koszt porównywalny, a na koniec nie zamordują przypadkowej osoby.
@bobiko@rower W Trójmieście już od paru dni proszą o niewchodzenie do Trójmiejskiego Parku Krajobrazowego, bo ciągle szukają tego żołnierza z Gdyni... A co tam robią tyle czasu - ciekawe.
Z kolei często na Warmii widziałem zakaz wjazdu bo wyrąb lasu :(
Na polowanie jeszcze nie natrafiłem
I have very long legs and a short torso, so "normal" bicycle frames never fit me very well. I always end up with a lot of seatpost height and a short stem, even though I'm leaned forward comfortably and with plenty of power in my pedal stroke.
