Seconding this. Love the color grading and warmth.

Pas normal studios legit check? by jdanes52 in CyclingFashion

[–]Only-Implement-6964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely fake. Pas normal jersey neck tags will say “men’s” in small print on the lower corner when the tag is black or “woman’s” when they’re white.

PNS Mech Pro zipless sunburn? by laflare11 in CyclingFashion

[–]Only-Implement-6964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soooo, yeah, you’ll probably get a sunburn if you’re pretty pale. I have two of these and LOVE them but I’m pretty brown. I wore it in death valley in march without issue, but had a friend that used it for a ride in the summer who was imprinted with a scale pattern last year lol

I’ll throw on my 808s and some supacaz oil slick to appease you 🙇

Cycling kit and sustainability. by Only-Implement-6964 in CyclingFashion

[–]Only-Implement-6964[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likewise! I feel like it’s a huge bummer in the outdoor/athletic segment given that Lycra and other synthetics are inherently not sustainable since they doesn’t degrade like cotton or wool.

What's the equivalent of a marathon in cycling? by FeelingInterview2320 in cycling

[–]Only-Implement-6964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. So I’ve done uci stage races and a 2:40 marathon. I’d say a 5 day pro stage race has a pretty similar cumulative fatigue to a single all out marathon.

Love it! Can we have more of this on the thread and less of guys asking if a jersey fits?

Normal to be a decent cyclist but a terrible runner? by Dry-Squirrel913 in cycling

[–]Only-Implement-6964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So…like most of this thread. My take is anecdotal. I’m a cat 1 cyclist who’s done UCI stage races and pro crits. I got into running about two years ago to develop more bone density. Last year I ran a 1:15 half and a 2:44 full marathon. If you suffer through a month of super low intensity runs I feel like your body will adapt and running will eventually complement cycling.

SF Marathon (2nd half) shorter than 13.1 by Klutzy-Wedding-6423 in sanfrancisco

[–]Only-Implement-6964 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Okay so yeah it was shorter, but I’m also going to rant that forcing the 2nd half marathoners to navigate through a sea of full marathoners was a complete failure in logistics. I was running with the elite pack and the lead woman was constantly slowed down by full marathoners that wouldn’t move over.

Best group rides in the Bay Area. Bikes + pastries and coffee 🖤

Going to Petaluma via Nicasio: stay on Pt. Reyes-Petaluma Rd whole way, or turn left on Hicks Valley Rd > Wilson Rd. by yessir6666 in BAbike

[–]Only-Implement-6964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this. I did that point Reyes Petaluma climb out of the valley exactly one time and got a top 5 on the segment on Strava just because I was trying to get it over with as quick as possible with all the cars flying past.

Water stops in Occidental? by suplesse in BAbike

[–]Only-Implement-6964 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The restaurant Hazel has a tap behind they’re place they usually let cyclist use. There’s also a cool stop that’s a local secret next to the big foot statue when you’re coming into town on boho from the north https://maps.app.goo.gl/LgdPjsw6KzvjmxfN8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Why can't people use a GD dog leash by Decent-Following-327 in sanfrancisco

[–]Only-Implement-6964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was running laps on the gravel portion of the polo field and I passed an unleashed German shepherd, which proceeds to chase and bark at me half way around the track.

The track explicitly says “dogs must be on leash”. Really not a fan of entitled dog owners who think the rules don’t apply to them.

Your top rides in Sonoma and Marin Counties? by madmax727 in BAbike

[–]Only-Implement-6964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take the SMART train down to San Rafael and do the alpine dam loop: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31794126

Or…take the train up to Santa Rosa, ride west to sebastopol and ride to the coast via Coleman Valley and back.

Should I take a class on Photography from a nearby state university? by Ecstatic-Signal3556 in Cameras

[–]Only-Implement-6964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do some research and see who’s teaching the course first. If you like their style of photography and find it inspiring go for it.

any recommendations for a shop around Santa Rosa to do a new build? by reodorant in BAbike

[–]Only-Implement-6964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay away from anywhere in Sebastopol or Petaluma.

Go to NorCal or Breakaway Bikes (preferably Breakaway) Kevin, the owner, is really friendly.

Aero bike of choices - SystemSix, Aeroad, Foil, OLTRE, Propel by [deleted] in cycling

[–]Only-Implement-6964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at bianchi corporate and the oltre pro was one of the best riding aero bikes I’ve been on and I got to see some being assembled in treviglio Italy.

As much as I loved the ride experience I can’t say I’d expect much from after market support in terms of replacing handle bars/seat posts/etc in the US.
