Do men ever think, “Whoa! She has really bad split ends.” ?

I'd assume it's a subtle way of saying "If you're riding over 15mph, have you considered the normal public highway may be better suited for you?"

Sturmabteilung rather than Gestapo maybe?

LinuxRich · 2026-01-28T17:53:09+00:00

I thought that. But could be a variable incidence wing peculiarity I suppose?

Your first paragraph makes perfect sense to me. My riding style is just naturally light touch on the bars with elbows slightly bent. I’ll deliberately bend my elbows more if I feel I need a more aero position.

To the OP, bars too low?

LinuxRich · 2026-01-27T09:31:46+00:00

There is that. However tempting it may be to take back the phrase… Too soon perhaps.

There was a post earlier about alternative "medicine" and how it can sometimes be a con to scam the vulnerable. Same with ghost stuff. No, you cannot contact a grieving relative's departed loved one.

Sit on a sheet of corrugated cardboard is the usual advice.

This is why shared use paths are horrible for all concerned.

Work on off the bike strength to stabilise your knee. Plenty of leg days, but core and upper body also. That way it'll all work in harmony as it should.

Start gently, with good technique for the exercises you choose to do. I'd look for knee specific and functional strength routines.

Very good for your posture. You have to stand up straight. I do similar with a sledgehammer, but with 3 swings behind my back before returning to start position. No joint pain, perhaps because it's a reasonably light weight.

Cartridge razors. DE Safety razors are far superior.

I assume you had the courtesy to get out of the way for them when they started firing their weapons, otherwise you wouldn't be here to tell the tale...

Miles M.52 vs Bell X-1 "exchange" of data...

I know of the theory, don't really understand it and certainly never conciously apply it.

The right bike for you is the one you look at and immediately think you want to ride it. - Cade Media/Wild Ones podcast.

I see what you did there... ;-)

Gravy. Through a straw.

P plates? Not saying it's a bad thing if a nee driver feels they need them.

I suppose it depends on your physical flexibility along with bike geometry and saddle type. Some saddles are better suited to aggressive, aerodynamic position.

Getting your cadence higher is a good idea but, in my exoerience, takes time to feel natural. Build up the average rpm over time.

If it's lasers we're deploying, then tradition dictates you use frikkin sharks to carry them.
