Make it a sleeve that disguises it as a normal bottle you can freeze so it keeps the beer cold. Holy poo poo yes.

If it gets people exercising, what's the problem? For me, I'd very much prefer the Wahoo bike if it ever got back in stock;.

I have been paying attention to my power and my cadence. It seems like if I’m doing say 80 rpm relatively easily, making a small effort to push to 90 rpm can give me another 10 or 15 watts. Basically, being mindful of cadence is like free power. Is this a thing? (I was on a trainer when I noticed this, if that matters)

Is this a thing? (I was on a trainer when I noticed this, if that matters) It is a thing until it isn't, the most efficient cadence is around 60rpm( look at anyone poping down the shops in no hurry) watch a road race sprint and those guys are hitting 120rpm. So higher cadence = more power, but how long you can sustain this varies. Also, it varies between people Bradley Wiggins had a cadence of 105 for his hour record Lionel Sanders was just under 90.

Is this a thing? (I was on a trainer when I noticed this, if that matters) high cadence will sap more energy from your system, and in turn give you a bit more power, but it's less efficient. Low cadence will take less energy per watt overall, but asks more from your muscle power, so going low cadence high power at the end of a long endurance effort will be very tough, even if you still have some gas left in the tank. This rule of thumb differs per person though, here's a decent article including scientific sources: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/...ower%20outputs. and a couple of videos (also built on scientific literature) on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6I1z7eyXOI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsoDLyO8To0

Describing a normal (above 90rpm) cadence as "less efficient" might be technically correct for a single definition of accuracy, but it isn't true for any definition that is important for cycling. Pedaling less than 90 rpm while doing anything harder than toodling down to the shops is bad for your joints, more physically taxing (but maybe uses slightly less oxygen, so if you're in an oxygen-constrained environment, maybe worry about that, but I won't), and will result in lower sustained power for a given perceived effort.

More importantly a higher RPM is more anaerobic which IIRC makes you more able to eat an entire pizza and a six pack of beer without gaining any more weight. Half the point of cycling IMO is being able to down your body weight in taquitos over the course of a month and not gain a pound. EvilJoven fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jan 6, 2021 |

They're everywhere, well maintained, cheap (normal rate is 10 TWD/0.36 USD every 30min for the first 4 hours, but to encourage use they're subsidizing the first 10 TWD until March, so it's free for the first 30min), and super convenient. I now basically bike everywhere without even needing to lock up my bike or lug my Bromp. My friends and I finished a 1000 mile in a month for charity challenge by doing the last 10 miles on rental bikes in full TT gear. Rental bikes are great.

Cadence vs efficiency depends on the power zone you are in and the speed/momentum you are carrying. For me on flat tarmac it’s generally the following: 150W = 75rpm 180W = 80rpm 210W = 85rpm 250W = 90rpm 300W = 95rpm 350W = 100rpm Etc. Certainly Filippo Ganna doing 500W at 100rpm is putting more stress into his knees than me doing 300W at say 85rpm up a hill. TobinHatesYou fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jan 7, 2021 |

I feel like everyone just falls into a cadence they find comfortable after enough riding. Is there anyone with 10,000km a year confused about candence and pushing at 50rpm? I doubt it. For new riders I would just say try spinning quite a bit faster than you're used to and see how it feels, and don't let yourself fight the bike - use a smaller gear and spin smoothly. I think my fitness and cadence are a 1:1 match. The faster I got, the faster I spin.

Let it not go unnoticed that the first article link says clearly that Tobin is right that higher cadence is aerobic, not anaerobic

More like high stroke volume. Leg stroke volume that is. Cadence.

I was actually just looking at the rates for the local rental bikes and see that they allow for the possibility of taking bikes between cities and charge a flat rate for moving between... I may have to try taking one the 400km across the entire island of Taiwan just for kicks.

Is it possible to safely pack up an assembled bike in a cargo container being shipped cross country and not have issues? Or should be buying a hitch, and getting a hitch mount bike rack?

I have one of these: https://www.wiggle.com/lifeline-eva-bike-pod and shipped it UK->US then across the country. Marginally cheaper than a hitch + rack.

Hitch mounts are definitely the "best" type of vehicle rack, but the most expensive. Would a roof rack be an option? Much cheaper, especially used. People on craigslist are practically giving that poo poo away after it sits in their garage mostly unused for a few years. Last year I bought two $275 Thule roof racks for $75 total.

CL in Portland is littered with used hitch mount carriers. I’d say rooftop poo poo here is a little more pricey, but I’ve just been looking for specific mounts for my 3rd gen 4Runner that are not freely available, so my perspective is skewed.
