@glightly Poznan is quite an old city. We have some rubbish cobbles and some nice roads. But you can find plenty of nice gravel roads in the vast forests in the city limits… It’s just not the weather for it, because it will be mostly the ugliest mud you can imagine…😂
@glightly Oh, those were the nice ones!😁 One day maybe I will be brave (or dumb) enough to go to the nasties with one hand on the bars… We have some places that drop the chain from narrow-wide rings and clutch derailleurs…🫣
@james@cycling@rower The polish law is a bit blurry on that. Childen under 10 on bicycles are considered pedestrians and have to be supervised by an adult (cannot use bike lane either). I think the code doesn’t say anything on the supervising adult being also on the bike. Never been stopped, though.
As a sole adult, there are special terms on which you can find yourself on the pavement legally (weather/speed limit/pavement width combo), but I’d still probably chose not to do that.
@james With kids - my best guess would be it’s not legal, but most of the people, including the polce do not mind, unless you are being deliberately reckless. @viq@cycling@rower
@viq Haha… I’ve had some reactions on running on red lights, but I rarely do that. If any, most of the times I skip those patches of accidental bike roads I’m supposed to be forced to be on, because of the shear inconvenience of getting on them just to get off them in like 50-100 meters… @james@cycling@rower
@viq My trick is to choose routes with no cycling paths. In the „season” I feel safer with the cars than with a bunch of sunday cyclists…🤷🏻♂️ @james@cycling@rower
@rekiwi Oh, that's for sure. Sometimes, if their ears don't work, something's gonna hurt. I'm all about letting them have that teachable moment...😅 @cycling@rower
@rekiwi That sounds dope! I wish my kids were so eager for cycling! I’m trying to show them it’s an adventure, but age is their limit for now (7, 5 and 0,5). I’m a gravel converted roadie, doing half of the yearly distance at night, so I hope one day they will go out with me instead going to bed…😂 We will eventually get there! @cycling@rower
o jeżu ... #Kołobrzeg ma problem z wyborem standardów. z jednej strony "chwali się", wysokimi standardami DDR i CPR, a z drugiej strony ta nieszczęsna kostka bauma.
@ClintonAnderson@systemz Take it easy guys!😅 Of course I did! I can also pull off a "look mom no hands" while pushing the kid next to me. Not that I do it very often, but nothing bad ever happened. I am glued to the saddle, though...😎 @cycling@rower
