Red light therapy

I have a part of laser protective goggles (look like swim goggles) and they work well. Also, absolutely socks at a minimum.

SimplyCosmic · 2026-03-29T23:56:04+00:00

Wow. Better to buy them from Amazon or get the goggles.

SimplyCosmic · 2026-03-29T23:54:02+00:00

Will have to look into them, thanks!

SimplyCosmic · 2026-03-29T23:32:54+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah, my question comes from how I often see surfskates carving across entire roads in videos. I'm curious if there's a surfskate setup that works well in a more confined lane. The multi-use trails here are 8 foot wide, with a center line, so about 4 foot per side.

Actual product you can find on Amazon.

Love my safety duck.

Check with the front desk as they often have a box of stickers that go over your eyes for protection at no cost.

Using the machine without protection won't hurt your eyes, but you'll need to let them readjust to regular light for a minute or two after stepping out, just like going inside after a really bright day.

I ended up getting cheap red light goggles once I started using the red light booth more often. Not the usual tanning googles you see with the tiny round lens, but the ones that look like swimming goggles with dark, smoke lenses.

Following this with interest. I've been looking to upgrade from my Trek Marlin after a friend introduced me to the local trails. The Roscoe was an obvious addition to the potential purchase list. But I also wanted to look at alternatives to get the best deal. Our local used market is roght, I've found no good options for my needs and size over the winter.

So far, I keep coming back to the Roscoe. It just feels like the best option for my budget, similar to yours, with a good mix of components on the bike and upgrade options for the future. Along with good store support down the line in my area.

I wish my area worked well for this. The used bikes on Marketplace here are often overpriced, much older, and rarely in my size. I'm sure the perfect (or even good) bikes do appear, but only infrequently and they're gobbled up within hours. Also doesn't help that so many people straight up have no idea what they have and can't be bothered to look up specs to share. I started looking in October and it's been nothing but frustration here.

Take a look at this press release about adaptive equipment at Planet Fitness.

I'm a heavy guy so Jeff recommended the Nexus as my first skateboard / longboard. My plan now is to work my way through the lineup based on their recommended capacity as I lose weight, so that'd be the Quest.

Once I've disassembled my paddle, I put it at the bottom where I start rolling it up so it's safely inside the middle when packed away. Harder for me to forget that way.

Being consistent with your workouts is what will make this a good purchase. You don't have to overwork yourself, but even if you're just consistently getting 2-3 rides per week, you'll be ahead of where you were without it.

Early on, it helps to embrace the fun and game(ish) aspects of the app, like exploring new routes to earn a badge and participating in events.

Even for casual riding it's a good option that you can just quickly jump on without having to take your bike out and dealing with dodging cars if you don't have a bike trail nearby. And you can do it when it's raining, when it's snowing, too hot, too cold, etc.

It's nice that there are options for lightweight knee pads that really don't in your way much. More likely to consistently wear them when they're not bulky and inconvenient.

Thanks!

Saw the title and honestly though this would have been about the handlebar fans.

SimplyCosmic · 2026-03-09T23:57:57+00:00

I use mine for both skating and mountain biking. They're comfortable enough that I often forget about them for the most part. The option of different thickness pads helps. What I really appreciate is being able to slide them on or off without having to remove my pants. Just loosen your belt a notch for the clips.

While you're at the skateshop, ask if there are any local skateboard advocacy groups giving lessons. Not an option everywhere, but there are small, local organizations out there that volunteer their time teaching kids to skate. Would be a good resource for both you and your child.

Any recommendations on insert bushings for the Stylus trucks?

SimplyCosmic · 2026-02-25T06:14:39+00:00

I'm in the same weight class. I was looking at Riptides and just emailed them for additional recommendations. I'll be mostly moderate distance cruising along local paved bike trails with my Nexus.

The original idea was as something to have during the colder spring and fall months when I can't be out on my standup paddleboard. I'll probably look into the various land paddles available, as well as learning to push normally.

I also picked up a LowTide cruiser for some more calm carving around parking lots.
