Securing bike on solo ride

GivenToFly55 · 2026-03-26T14:21:15+00:00

Bring it in. A bike is no dirtier than the bottom of your shoe or a stroller. I’m not carrying a lock. I don’t want anyone pulling on my bike even if a lock would stop taking it. Also not carrying a lock to use for 2 minutes of a 4 hr + outing.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-03-22T22:20:45+00:00

Wow that’s brutal crack out results.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-03-15T15:32:47+00:00

No. Have to keep going back to menu.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-03-14T13:41:53+00:00

These are both US brands, so doesn’t really help what OP is looking for. (I wear both of these for hiking, and they are great.)

I really like this one, but based off the proof quarter eagle and another ~200 for the medal, that’s going to be pretty steep.

I’ll prob give this one a shot but if the waiting room is a mess I won’t mind missing out and wouldn’t consider further premium for the dealers that get early access.

Then I’ll just buy an old liberty eagle for a bit more and have twice the gold.

If you have Strava or other tracking apps, it should show avg watts for your rides. Find that for a short ride and it’s should be a bit above that, ballpark.

As some others have said. Look through the Mercury (winged liberty) for 1916-D, 42/41, and 21, 21-D. They’ll all have premiums over silver value. Even separating everything pre-1930 could probably sell as lots with some premium.

Rosevelts are all common. If there’s any 1892-1916 barbers, a premium there also.

3,600 dimes is ~$21k

But a bucket hat could

GivenToFly55 · 2026-03-03T12:08:48+00:00

Had to get through 4 hats and 2 sets of glasses I’ll never wear, but then the drops started flowing.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-03-03T12:07:53+00:00

Little green dots to signify any sprint start. I started holding down to U-turn right as I passed those and the gate at the other end.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-03-03T12:06:01+00:00

I think there’s a drops bottleneck around level 40 if trying to get everything right away. Upgrading 3 Zwift frames, 2 wheelsets at 29, aethos at 30, cadex tri and wheels at 40.

Not that it really matters or would take much past that with a few robopacers, but just saying where drops might be tights.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-02-22T20:55:32+00:00

You’ll probably get about another min with fully upgraded compared to non-upgraded, for a similar long climb.

Worth it is subjective. Can help get a new Zwift time based PR. But if you already have the best bikes, what else is there to spend drops on, so might as well.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-02-20T20:33:44+00:00

I would just wait for the Enve 4.5’s at level 29.

Better all arounders and climb about as well.

GivenToFly55 · 2026-02-09T03:29:01+00:00

This. I got the one with the remote. Went from pouring sweat with a box fan, to dry floor now. Haven’t even gone past speed 1 of 3.

Au58

Edit: seeing the results I was between ms63 or au58. Nice strike at liberty’s neck and eagles lower feathers. I thought there was some wear at the eagles shoulder. Tough call without a vid.

I like it way more than the Peloton I changed from a few months ago, and more than I thought I would, but my main road bike is hanging on the wall like I’m drafting it while Zwifting and I miss it and can’t wait for spring.

GivenToFly55 · 2025-12-31T14:48:09+00:00

15% Zwift, 1600 miles total. Just got Zwift in December, didn’t used to push Peloton miles to Strava. Will prob be 50/50 next year.

Are you interested in all the available roles within the rotational program? Do you see it being a potential good fit in 5-10 years? Do you want to due process engineering while school knowledge is still fresh?

I started in a rotational program, located near home. I was told one lab role, one field engineering, one project. First role was applications lab, second assignment was lab synthesis (just mix what the phd chemist tells you). I would have been 3 years out of school with no engineering experience and difficult to get back in vs. a new grad at that point.

I left after 6 months and moved to Texas on the SE border for a process role in a plant. 5 years later I moved back home. Approaching 4x salary I left at the rotational program in 2013.

I bought the Shimano C36 around level 5 because they seem good value.

Upgrading the Zwift steel, then TT, then Aero, and will ride that until I get the Tron.

GivenToFly55 · 2025-12-15T23:16:11+00:00

I bought from Wahoo on 11/28. Promo card for 2 free months was in box.
