@abhayakara Didn’t really think about it, but you’re right… It was slow, though. I was towing a trailer, no way to go fast. It’s really not that bike friendly in the most parts of this city… @cycling@rower
#GoodMorning#Gravel! Early start today, as #KidsOnBikes have gone to a field trip!🥰 I’ve decided to avoid #forest, because of the mud. Not that my #bicycle is perfectly clean, but why make things even worse…😂🙈
@thorcik I’m keeping the moving parts in working order. My frame probably has some extra weight because of the mud on the down tube, but that doesn’t really bother me that much.
With 3 kids and a full time job I have no time for a proper maintenance…😂
I sometimes put it in a tub and give it a good rinse, but then my wife gets mad and I have to polish the acrylic bathtub from gunk, which is a proper drag…😂
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#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…😂💀
#GoodMorning#Bicycle with part of #KidsOnBikes!😂 Don’t let the sun fool you, it was cold. But at least there was no wind so I couldn’t really complain…🥰
#GoodMorning#Bicycle! Fuck this wet and freezing weather. I’m forcing myself to ride, because I will regret I didn’t go later, but it’s far from my comfort zone…
#GoodMorning#Gravel! I guess I’m finally getting used to the bad weather. The transition is always painful, but it was surprisingly ok in 2°C and strong wind… #KidsOnBikes - pure love!❤️
@thorcik It’s complicated! Usually, when it’s cold in Poznan it’s also dry and I can live with that. The worst thing is temperatures slightly above 0°C because then it very often gets windy and wet, a combination I truly hate…
Surprisingly, I’ve been recently cycling in rain and it was ok. The clothes really can make the difference…
@ssamulczyk yeah, rain and headwind, my favourite combo.
My only mistake today was leaving my gloves outside when I made a short stop to pop into a shop for a few minutes. @cycling@rower
#GoodMorning#Gravel! What a beautiful set of colours in the #Cybina valley #forest! Also, that’s the 3rd day in a row I set out into the rain forecast and I get nothing…😂
@ssamulczyk thanks, decathlon sportswear is like lidl sportwear, sometimes you find really good and lasting basic pieces, you only have to look and wait for them.
@Jay23Jay I have a few pieces from them and I was always happy. I really don’t like their cycling shoes.
Never owned a thing from Lidl, though. I’ve seen some nice things sold in there in the UK, but cycling is only mildly popular in Poland, so they rarely bother.
