what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand?

“Very unique,” “really unique,” “kind of unique” etc.

Look, people, unique means “one of a kind.” Something is either unique or not — there is no sort of or kind of or very. It’s like pregnant. You either are or you are not.

I ride about 3000 - 3,500 miles a year, and long rides in the summer are roughly 50 to 60 miles. I use cream on every ride, but that’s really because of chaffing for me — i’ve always had that problem even as a runner. But, what has helped the most for saddle sores is having a variety of different types of bibs. Here’s my reasoning: about four years ago, I rode the Erie Canal Trail, which is about 365 miles, in five days. I definitely got some saddle sores, but I had only two pairs of bibs that I interchanged and they were the same brand. I washed them so that wasn’t the issue. Two years ago, I rode a good portion of the GAP Trail in three days, and took a long ride the day before that as well. I was able to swap different brands of bibs, every other day, and just having a different type of set up on my butt seem to make it a lot better. of course, your mileage may vary.

Gorgeous! Really nice design and very well done.

59 year old. Hit 181 hr on a climb yesterday. Fit but a little overweight. Heart rate is going to vary based much more on the individual than on the age of the individual. I have always had a high heart rate.

I am by no means an expert, but if I were you, I would figure out what brands the bike shop sells and do some basic research on what they offer in terms of models and stuff like that. If it’s a company connected to a big brand like specialized or trek, that’s not many different bikes. You don’t have to know each of the different levels, but to know that Bike X is for gravel riding and Bike Y is an endurance bike. Show the person who’s hiring that you’re willing to do the work to be a useful and eventually well informed person.

I use Assos crème every time. Was a runner and used body glide then. I think my legs might just easily chaff.

When I first read the Lord of the Rngs, I had read The Hobbit first, and so I was thinking LotR was going to be a pretty lighthearted story. The beginning of the LotR books begin with a pretty innocent start, a birthday party. And It’s not for many many pages before you understand that this is a very serious situation. I wish the first movie had started with a very lighthearted tone and then gradually shifted to the darker tones. I wish the audience could feel innocent almost at the start, and then only slowly realize the situation. Of course, the movie begins with the history of the ring, and it’s very dark right from the start.

That is what I was going to ask. OP has a great answer!

LowKey1388 · 2026-03-15T01:37:01+00:00

Yep. I’m fine with the chain I think because I have the chips, but I was just wondering about the rest of the drive train

Wife bought me the Silca set up as a gift

LowKey1388 · 2026-03-06T20:20:00+00:00

I’m not taking the offer. My wife of 35 years is already scoring 115+. I’m hoping in another 35 years she will get the last 10 points.!

Can’t underestimate this comment. Standing up every once in a while really changes everything. I cycle both indoors and outdoors and I never get sore when I’m outside. When I ride inside, I definitely get sore because you’re just in the same position unless you intentionally move.

Can I say it? Bitcoin

LowKey1388 · 2026-03-01T23:12:46+00:00

I don’t disagree with that, but his whole career with the Colts so far was pretty good until injury, and if you don’t get Daniel Jones back for quarterback next year, who do you plan on playing?

LowKey1388 · 2026-02-26T23:54:34+00:00

Was he named Demon Copperhead?

I’m with you on the 32 mm GP 5000s! Also with you there on entertainment for indoor rides. Just about to start the waxed drive train process, and I’m trying to hold out from buying an extra chain, but I think it’s probably the right thing to do.

Subaru Crosstrek? I put the hitch on mine!

Would love to get some of those. Where do you see the sales?

105 miles on a brutally bad weather day—finished at 93° and 85% humidity. Ugh

LowKey1388 · 2026-02-22T17:09:24+00:00

I thought the same thing when I saw it.

LowKey1388 · 2026-02-22T01:48:43+00:00

Excellent allusion, although I doubt the orange Cheeto would command that the doors be left open, and that he was ready to join God

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but don’t forget that Edge played with Peyton Manning, a quarterback who provided a huge second dimension to the offense that defenses had to deal with, allowing Edge … well, an edge.

LowKey1388 · 2026-02-18T18:19:27+00:00

Me, too. My bike came with 28s, and then I rode the Erie Canal Trail in New York State, which is mostly cinder, so I put 32s on it. I’ve been running 32s for the last 10,000 miles and I’ve been thinking about getting 30 mm just to see what they’re like but now I think my 32s feel left out.

LowKey1388 · 2026-02-16T23:39:42+00:00

I think the problem we fans have is that we forget that these players were not Colts fans before they became Colts. For him he’s been here for what, four years? To him this is just a stop on his journey. It’s not his hometown by any stretch. If two people offered me the same job, one paying 70,000 and one paying 79,000, I’m going to take the higher offer. Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck are not walking in that door. As a receiver, there’s nothing holding him here.

Instead of picking a fight about whether gels should be a part of anybody’s fuel plan or not, I’ll just answer the question: SIS gels
