You can ride a horse on the trail but you have to scoop the poop, otherwise no horses allowed imo

Horse poop is not as bad as dog poops. But everyone should clean up after their animals, yes. I’ll make an exception for the falconer I met once.

I tend to ride local Bike Share in winter and not worry about my own bikes, but the system's maintenance has taken a complete poo poo the last few years. It can be hit, but mostly miss with what bikes you get. Yesterday it took me 45 minutes to get to work downhill (switching bikes twice), but 28 to get home on one half-decent one. The poo poo bikes are like trying to ride through molasses. Also a weird phenomenon where a bike seems like it might be okay for the first few minutes, but then the wheel gets more wobbly or something and it's just hell.

evil_bunnY posted:V nice. Would be better split across the street, but not bad. Love the physical barrier that *also* prevents dooring. The other side of the street has a bus lane for a pretty popular bus route, this avoids an awful lot of potential pedestrian/cyclist conflicts Also all the businesses worth going to are on the left side of the street anyway

the tip my friend gave me about how to build endurance was to pick a high gear and then just never touch it no matter what. And if you need to go slower for safety reasons, just pedal less. I started going on rides on 6th gear (out of 8) and then moved up to 7, and then to 8. Staying on 8 all the time still kinda sucks for getting started from zero but it's doable once I'm up to speed. that said, if you're commuting, then the book-advice I got was to just stay on whatever low gear you're comfortable with, since you're not racing against time or measuring yourself on distance, and I agree with that too

And if you need to go slower for safety reasons, just pedal less. This is wrong. That’s how you build strength and a few other things, but for endurance you want to always be in a gear that lets your legs move at one speed that works best for you. That’s the whole point of gears. Training for endurance requires going on longer rides (or getting on an elliptical for a while, but that’s just the worst). quote:that said, if you're commuting, then the book-advice I got was to just stay on whatever low gear you're comfortable with, since you're not racing against time or measuring yourself on distance, and I agree with that too Also depends on whether you have a shower at work. If you’re going to shower anyway, crank it. If not choose the pace that lets you sweat a reasonable amount. AreWeDrunkYet has issued a correction as of 04:36 on Jan 6, 2024 |

Yeah ideally you shift to keep going at the same cadence and keep putting the same force into the pedals. This means putting out a consistent amount of power, which should be something that you can keep up for the whole ride. You’ll slow going uphill and/or into headwinds. As you train your body, your limits will increase, and you will be able to maintain both higher cadence and higher force. You’ll go faster and use higher gears as you do.
