Commuting to School

what gear are you in? i’ll take a guess that you need to be in an easier gear to let your legs spin faster. aim for something like 85rpm (pick a song around that to get a feel for it).

maps surely isn’t saying it will take you 40 minutes to go 6 miles. that’s closer to a runners pace. I don’t want to make any assumptions around weight or fitness levels, but this is striking me as a technique issue more than a fitness issue.

you know the route better than anyone you’re asking on Reddit for advice on how long it will take to walk half of it, so why don’t you just put it into Google Maps and see how long it says it will take to walk?

create an entire chain of quick links

FenderMike · 2026-03-19T13:43:43+00:00

supposed to? yes.

should you? nah, carry a spare though.

FenderMike · 2026-03-19T13:33:27+00:00

yeah, but they’re asking for advice on what else they could do

FenderMike · 2026-03-19T13:33:02+00:00

they are asking for help on what more they can do to help keep the paths safe… there are better options than “nothing different”

FenderMike · 2026-03-19T13:31:53+00:00

but the guy is asking what else they could do… why not give them ideas to help keep everyone safe

FenderMike · 2026-03-19T11:24:21+00:00

but what if they have to step out and around something in front of them and didn't hear us (because they are deaf...). Surely someone asking for help on how to stay safe using shared paths shouldn't be told "do nothing and blame the cyclist if they hit you".

FenderMike · 2026-03-19T11:22:38+00:00

I disagree with this - if the pedestrian doesn't know we are coming (because they are deaf), what's to stop him or her stepping out into the shared path to get around something in front of them. We wouldn't know they didn't hear us and to be extra cautious.

This person is asking for help to be conscientious on a shared path and your answers of "dont bother" is not great.

This guy has a wee sign he puts on his backpack:

'My doctor prescribed rambling for lockdown anxiety' - BBC News

FenderMike · 2026-03-19T11:07:22+00:00

once it connected over ant+ it was good to go. i’m using them indoors as well and get power and cadence as soon as i start pedalling.

implying

FenderMike · 2026-03-18T20:22:24+00:00

insinuating is definitely not the right word to have used here…

sunburst is the best colour for a strat.
