When i started biking I told the wife that I would bike all the way to the Astoria Colum from where we live. That ride is a 500 ft climb. Months later i did a 40 mile bike ride. THAT ride was 1,500 ft climb. i wanna keep on climbing until i escape the atmosphere. Or about 32,810,000 ft

Cut your rice cakes into squares and wrap them like little Christmas presents with the aluminum side facing in, wax paper facing out. I’ve hit the strakch paper squares and they work well, except I’m terrible at wrapping.

Forgive me bike thread, for I started doing something the past couple months that I never thought I'd do: running. I've always hated running. I had to take some time off the bike, so I took up running to stay active, and I think it has really boosted my cardio. I've been running a few 5ks a week, and now that I've been back on the bike my average heart rate has been lower and my average pace higher on some of my typical rides. I don't love it but I might have to keep it up. Or do more HIIT on the bike, I guess, but that's hard to do around town. Guinness fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Aug 4, 2021 |

Spin classes at the council gym have done more for my actual cycling than cycling has. Nothing like being cheered along to dance music for an hour while everyone in the room but the instructor is near collapse after 10 minutes.

How are you meant to buy a saddle? There are local shops near me with a small range, but a no return policy, and no way to try them even on a bike, let alone riding prior to buying. There are online shops with a massive range, that may accept returns..? Apart from the sit bones measurement, which I’m skeptical of (my measurement anyway), so getting the right width, there’s not much to go on. Is it a case of trial and error - ordering online, trying carefully so they’re unmarked and returning till you find one that works? I’m in the UK, a man, working up from about 100 miles a week on an endurance road bike. The Fizik my bike came with is about half the width I need, the Specialized saddle I tried most recently is horrific. I’ve been using an old WTB saddle borrowed from my mtb, but I want to switch it back. Any recommendations?

Measure your MTB saddle and go for the same dimensions but lighter?

Yeah, find a cheap beat up (but not sagging / bent) version of the saddle you're curious about, and resell it if you can. Repeat. It's tedious and slow.

You can narrow it down by looking at your position on the bike - while saddles are individual, it's much less likely that you'll get on with one designed for an aggressive position if you have an upright position, or vice versa. That said, the specific bibs you ride can be important too - I love my power saddle most of the time, but if I wear DHB bibs it gives me burning crotch pain within, like, 1km.

For warranty, maybe the Townie ebike, which is Trek. That bike is just as low tier as the other cheap bikes, like Radpower or Blix. There's an ebike thread https://www.rei.com/product/170337/electra-townie-go-7d-step-through-electric-bike
