@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!🙈
@QRSS_Test@ssamulczyk@rower@cycling Yes it can be boring sweaty stuff, but joining a team and doing things like races, being part of the ZRL and doing weekly team time trials can make it more interesting, as the social elements as well as competitive aspects come into play.
EG - I'm a d grade rider, yesterday I raced, broke away, was joined by 1 other, played some cat and mouse with them and the group behind, and then had to sprint to win. The kind of stuff you watch professionals do on TV. Doing it as a slow, diesel engined 50+yo rider who would be never dare race in the real world makes it fun and interesting.
@MrAndrewD Oh, I understand what people get from that. I’m not looking for racing, I’m just obsessed with doing my daily kilometres, because it makes me feel better about myself. I try to ride outside whenever I can, but when it’s -5°C and raining - not so much…🤷🏻♂️ @QRSS_Test@rower@cycling
@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…🤷🏻♂️
My theory is, when I get my #morning#cycling I’m feeling much better throughout the entire day. If I didn’t, you have me falling asleep at noon…🤡 @cycling@rower
@InkySchwartz I’m fully aware that hashtag might be misleading…🤣 Yes, it doesn’t look like the mediterranean.
Trivia: It’s an artificial lake with a regatta course named after the Order of Malta (Hospitaller) who owned a church nearby and the land…🙄 @cycling@rower
#GoodMorning#Gravel! The air has been thick this morning and it looked like it’s going to be raining, but fortunately, that wasn’t the case. Dope ride!🥰
