Nobody Interesting posted:How do you get good at uphill Since you're asking in the commuting thread: just get an ebike, OP. For myself, my commute home is 10km and looks like this:  It's a nice little gently caress you that one of the steepest parts with like a 9 or 10% grade is at the very end. I had a regular bike before and was used to bicycle commuting, but once I moved to this hill I stopped biking until I got the ebike. I'm really not very fit or interested in becoming a fitness cyclist. EU standard 250W/25 kph ebike makes this commute fun and way better than taking the metro.

Nobody Interesting posted:Doesn't seem so drastic in comparison. That honestly doesn't look much better than mine. You're a kilometer up from sea level, and I really don't think I'd handle a long steady climb well either. I wouldn't know how to pace myself, I think. That long climb in the middle that gets steeper near the end looks nasty too. alnilam posted:This is kind of comparable to my old commute, and the other lovely part about the uphill at the end, is that when you leave your house in the morning in winter you're freezing cold, since you're just coasting and not working up any body heat yet It's obnoxious yeah, I'm still trying to figure out clothing that works both ways in winter.

Complaining into the void: the office landlord at work has apparently decided to repurpose the bicycle parking room starting on Tuesday next week, so it looks like we're getting kicked out onto the street as far as bike parking goes. They claim to be looking into a new solution but welp, guess I'll be a lot less at the office until that's sorted!

evil_bunnY posted:repurpose into what? Something that pays rent, presumably. Storage, I think? There are some tenants in the same building that probably need storage space.
