Biked down to the beach taking a route thru bougie west LA I've never been to before and it was mostly enjoyable.  I feel like I'm running out of places to go checkout that feel do-able within a day around my area and don't absolutely suck to get to though - I would be happy if I never had to pedal thru Tujunga again.

I was just thinking that I rode all of 10 miles today since it was my first time out in more than 6 months and on a brand new gravel bike. loving 70 some odd miles is something I could only dream of at this point.

I closed out last year with two ~115 mile rides and then, like a genius, sat on my rear end for four months. Great way to cruise to fitness at age 40. I looked for Zwift-compatible trainers, didn't find any available, and poo poo my fitness pants.

Being able to ride/train inside has been a game changer for me. I'm bored of all of the 1-1:30 loops I can do from my front door. Plus it's so nice not to have to think about the training plan not to mention mess with the weather appropriate layers and route planning etc. I still like riding outside on the weekends when I can get 3-6 hours in the saddle. But it's so much easier for get miles in during the week when all you have to do is put on bibs, turn on the tv and go.

I had a massive smash today. Dumb cause, clipped the back wheel of the guy in front which then launched me into the verge at 25mph. Bars and left shifter are dead and I'm pretty messed up from the hips down. Very lucky I didn't go straight into a tree.

Get hydrocolloid dressings for the road rash, they are magical.

There was a chance of a fractured pelvis but it turns out ive got nothing broken, just all soft tissue. It feels like every muscle attached to my pelvis has been pulled and everything from the knees down on the left leg is just pain right now. I'm able to walk but its like a 90 year old man shuffle. I'm quite lucky, 2 feet to the right from where I hit was a very loving large tree and well we could be having a different conversation.

That loving sucks but ya soft tissue damage is a hell of a lot easier to recover from than fractures. Take it easy and stretch it out slowly. Plenty of time later for bikes.

I rode bikes this weekend. 30 miles on the road (endurance?) bike on Saturday which was fun but it got hot. Today did 15 miles with the hybrid and toddler trailer and visited 2 playgrounds with little guy who I haven't been out with in about a month and he was so happy to go out with me that I got kind of emotional about it.

Hey I need to buy a lock for my folding bike that I will sometimes need to lock up with my 5 year old's tiny two wheeler. I'd surely like to prevent the bikes from easily being stolen but I don't care enough to lug around a 20lb lock or anything like that. So just something to stop the casual bike borrower please. Is there a type or make/model people recommend?

Onguard make budget U locks that meet the safety standard. Unfortunately it’s a case of 3lb+ or useless.

Folding lock reviews all make them seem absolutely wonderful, until right at the end underneath a picture in tiny writing it says: (these will not hold up to ordinary household bolt cutters)

learnincurve posted:(these will not hold up to ordinary household bolt cutters) Every lock can be broken. No bike is safe. Ride what you can afford to loose. I'm tempted to get an aluminum U-lock for the illusion of security without the weight of a hardened steel shackle.

If it isn't an orange shackle Kryptonite or a high end Abus it's not gonna hold up to a determined meth head with folding cutters. Pick your poison; a heavy lock or a convenient lock.

Get a small in length but beefy d lock and use the Sheldon brown method to lock it. It makes it a pain for them to try and get purchase on it so they'll just move on to the bike next door. You really don't notice even a pretty heavy lock when you're on the bike.

Bike theft is opportunistic so the goal isn't to make it impossible to steal, because they will have anything if they really want it. Theres a video on youtube of people using a cordless angle grinder in the middle of a park in London (And then getting wrecked by a passer by). The goal is to make it a pain in the rear end to take your bike, either by needing noisy machines to get through the lock or by making bikes near yours more appealing because they're easier.

I got a nice abus folding lock last year. It fell off the little frame mount they give you during a nice October ride.

When I lived in the netherlands my rule was to spend more on the lock than the bike. Now that I have *nice things* it's a bit harder.

i always have my lock in my backpack or attached to my belt, which was the style at the time, when im not riding around in kit so im a big fan of the lightweight Kryptonite Evolution LITE Mini-6.
