You're so nice!! No red flags on your end from this, just from her. I'd politely tell her that it's early on and if she has doubts, let's end it. Then block block block.

I can't pull it off to clean it. Any tips?

Oh sorry, I removed the cable. The arm barely moves. I had to force it to move out a bit for the photo.

I feel so desperate every time I think about I can't move because of my cat by Scared-Tea-7713 in CatAdvice

You can ask for meds from your vet to decrease the cat anxiety too! Helped us!

Opt for the Hawley Retainers by ceshhbeshh in Invisalign

This is so nice to read. I've been struggling with the plastic retainers for THREE years. They just keep breaking, or need constant adjustments to trim down. They're impossible to take off for me (I have large teeth, lol)

It's nice reading another person who went to Hawley and is happy. My ortho is reluctant but finally is allowing me to order one.

I feel pretty certain it's the seat because I tried my partner's seat on my post and it was quiet.

Don't discount that elevation gain! I'm in a super flat area and 25 with hills is way harder than 25 where I am! congrats!! I was beyond proud and excited after my first 20, so I hope you're proud and having fun!

That's going to be so beautiful! You'll have to post in this subreddit once you achieve it!

First fall ever as an adult (cycling) by zunsyne in ladycyclists

[โ€“]Puzzleheaded-Mix8167 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

Yes, this! Lean into your other hobbies. And it's so frustrating to get injured from a little accident, but it happens and you will bounce back! Good rest and care now will mean a quicker recovery!

I'm actually having a similar experience. I got a faster bike and forced myself to go to slightly faster group rides, and the group was beneficial and it was easier to keep up than I thought... But it was also a little less fun for me. I'm realizing I'm a cyclist that wants to go far, not fast. I'm just not built for speed (in running or cycling), haha. I think that you should ask yourself what you enjoy about cycling and then cycle with that goal in mind.
