@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
