Rolled my bike out of the shed this morning as wife was leaving for work... she said no way. (I’m recovering from surgery on Monday). Said I could do a walk around the block... so I’m back in the recliner with a pizza in the oven....
Please add me to this ping list. I love riding my MTB converted to a hybrid city/offroad/gravel bike. I try to ride about an hour a day if I can. Walking is hard for me but riding is something I can do and enjoy. (Bad Ankles from multiple back surgeries nicking nerves and broke one last summer)
Got a Touring Electra men’s bike. Love it. But I’m 82 and losing my balance and need a 3-wheel bike. I’m looking at the Tricycle conversion kit at Amazon, but I’m worried part of my problem is getting my leg up and over the seat, it has a middle bar, and most trikes don’t have that (like a girl’s bike). Also, I could try to sell my bike and get a 3 wheeler. Any thoughts on this?
That is all.
Tour de France kicked off this morning. Now I have something worth watching on TV each evening for the next 3 weeks!
I put in 53 miles this morning on my circa 2012 Pinarello FP3 with a brand new Campagnolo Record 12 groupset. A bit toasty and humid here in the Carolinas today, with some early haze due to the Canadian fires. Glad to get it done before noon!
Just went for a short 1/2 hr bike ride. The temperature was an energizing 109°.
Yesterday (4th of July) I was stopped at a red light by the Berlin Wall and a bee stung me on the back of my neck. I don't know why it stung me but I swiped it down and stepped on it. Now I will always say I got stung by a bee when it is 4th of July. Hope you people had a good one! At least I still have all my fingers.
I meant to post this from the weekend but forgot... I seen these small cars driving around Berlin but now I found their training "track". It was a bit concerning to see how small a loop they train on considering they ride two side-by-side in a group of 10. But they must have driving licenses so I am not THAT concerned really.
Cycling Advice That Sucks!
There’s a lot of advice out there for cyclists, but not all of it is GOOD advice. Some of it could actually hinder your progress! So Conor is here to tell you the bad advice, you don't need to weigh less to go faster and you don't need to slam your stem!
