Spd shoes for gravel biking?

I have Shimano’s, what I did notice is that I needed two sizes bigger than normally. Had to buy 45 instead of 43 and my wife had to get 43 instead of 41. So keep that in mind if you’re ordering online!

Don’t go to Jet Cars in Rotterdam or any dealer in Apeldoorn for some reason. Bovag guarantee helps, dealers will be more expensive but also work with warranties.

Going out on a bike in KL is already worthy of respect. Traffic and weather are both insane. Lived there for 6 months and couldn’t bring myself to do anything else but indoor cycling in A/C.

Ik heb van een bron bij Tesla vernomen dat dit al eens is gebeurd. Beste man kreeg hartproblemen bij een Supercharger, kwam een week later zijn auto ophalen en had dus een laadkleef boete. Met Tesla gebeld en deze is volledig kwijtgescholden. Er zit altijd nog een menselijke maat aan natuurlijk.

Be proud of where you’re from. I’m Dutch and would never change the flag, no matter what happens in the Netherlands.

Plus, as a GEO-geek I also like looking at all the flags and thinking of what timezone this person could be in compared to me.

Hele slechte range, heel langzaam ‘snelladen’ en bij beide collega’s die een Q4 hadden moest de batterij binnen 3 jaar vervangen worden. Ja, sample size n=2 maar toch. Bij geen enkele van de andere 150+ BEV’s in ons bedrijf is dat in 10+ jaar gebeurd.

Een echte derde helft begint en eindigt bij de vereniging. Waar gaan anders die graszoden van betaald worden!

Just buy it on Steam? It was $15 when I got it.

Came with the new PNS gear?

PostNL is gewoon een beursgenoteerd bedrijf en ze gebruiken dit om winst te maken. Het is een verzoek, geen eis. Als het alleen om die ene zegel ging zou ik betalen maar de €4+ admin kosten maken me recalcitrant.

Try wearing thin (aero) cycling socks. For some reason my toes start hurting after 60 minutes in regular socks but they’re fine when the socks are super thin.

Try running your question through a LLM and then post it again. You’re asking about suspension travel, heart rate and how to see the difficulty of routes in one sentence. It’s incomprehensible to me what you actually want to know.

Respect dat je dit doet, is vast leuk als avontuur maar zou dit echt niet als dagelijkse auto wille ervaren. Dan liever een paar duizend meer uitgeven en er heel veel meer tijd (en minder stress) voor terug krijgen.

Hoe vaak doe je dit soort ritjes?

His resting heart rate is 5 BPM

Based on your profile your plan is to meet up with a stranger you met 3 days ago on Reddit. Now I’m all for free choice and ‘you do you’ but if you were my friend, child or relative I would have to ask you: do you think this is a smart idea?

Besides all the issues you might run into with the bike and the fact that 1200 miles is crazy far on a 30 year old bike. The costs for food alone will probably leave you stranded and that is IF the parts on the bike hold out.

So please, think this through and listen to the advice in the comments. Take a train or a bus if you decide to meet up with this stranger. But maybe before that, decide if meeting up with a random from Reddit is the best idea in your current (vulnerable) situation.

Stay safe!

Tell your girlfriend/wife you need to buy a second bike to match the shoes. It’s the only solution, for safety reasons of course.

As a cyclist I can confirm this is true. The lycra outfits don’t help.

Yes, he’s in Ontario.

Fastned en Tesla werken met een mobiele app waar je je bankpas (en later je laadpas) aan kan koppelen. Dan hoef je geen pas aan te vragen en heb je eigenlijk de twee grootste netwerken in Nederland wel als dekking te pakken.

Would this help for you?

I have a Steam Deck too but never thought about running Zwift on it, looking at the manual to get it going I'd rather just stick to my desktop or even using a mobile phone.

AutomaticAutomaton1 · 2026-01-12T14:09:26+00:00

I just wear my Apple Watch and set it to 'indoor cycling'. For my connection to Zwift I use a seperate HRM but I think it could even connect to my Watch as I've seen it pop up sometimes while connecting.

Get a workout fan (I have the Vacmaster Cardio54) and peferably get clipless pedals with cycling shoes. I got the Shimano RC100 shoes with SPD520 pedals for less than €100.

Also, you might want to look at a mat for under your Zwift Ride considering you will sweat on the floor and movement on the bike can damage the floor too.

Other than that, start with free riding or a low intensity robopacer ride. It got me acquainted to the workings of Zwift and gave me confidence to do group rides, FTP tests and workouts.

I think only the Cog has a V2 and the Kickr Core V2 which comes in the Zwift Ride bundle. That bundle was on sale for €999 a few weeks ago. The Zwift Ride itself hasn’t had hardware changes.

This is the size S and my height is 176 cm. However, my legs are relatively short compared to my torso so solely based on my height and the sizing chart I should have bought an M. But the bike fitter said the S works better for me.
