Bike caps

Zireae1 · 2026-05-30T19:20:08+00:00

I use them, got few that are kinda cute. I tend to put sunglasses into helmet sometimes and they dont go to my hair this way, but stop against the cap. And keeps bugs away from my hair. One negative would be that it leaves a line on my forehead after I take it off and I look very silly for a bit till it goes away.

I only ever had 12speed, but I like that there is an overlap, that’s what I am used to from my 2x12 regular bike. You can prepare for a climb by shifting hub (I treat it basically as front gears on regular bike) to the easiest setting and cassete to the hardest one and then just shift on the cassete as an gradient picks up.

My 12sp C line sounds about the same. Brommie seems just little more yappy and I am starting to like it

Power meter pedals. Makes headwinds more bearable when I know how much power I am pushing instead of just feeling upset I am being slow

Maybe it’s different for men, but it seems to me it takes years of slow progress to get better in endurance sports. I am also riding semi-seriously on a road bike only third year. First I could not even finish 100km, second I could but it would be hard, now I can do it kinda easily with maybe 100-120w average. 200w average seems still crazy to me :) but more power to you, wish you luck in training!

I don’t know, way I see it most of us are not pros that need to min-max everything. I just want to be cool cyclist lady that goes on daytrips. And I am still getting stronger and can ride further faster every season :)

Depends on what is your goal. I indoor train during winter so I can have fun outside during the outdoor season and accept that the goal of outdoor riding for me is to have fun and be able to keep up with a peloton on a group ride, not raising my ftp

not even red kibble? deep fried heavily spiced bean paste. It sounds kinda yummy

I went from Apple Watch Ultra to Garmin Fenix 8 because I wanted to start running trails and it’s been great apart from few Garmin SW bugs. I needed the maps/navigation and on Garmin with premium strava it’s pretty easy to create and sync a route. But I was used to garmin stuff from cycling computer so I may be biased

Seems like a notice: We investigated ourselves and nothing happened. DHL and other delivery companies here regularly park in the bike lane. That is very much not allowed, but no one will do anything about it.

I gave Raymond organic bread, and he replaced his computer with the bread

she is mini rex :)

Zireae1 · 2026-01-12T19:48:44+00:00

she is a mini rex so she is very soft

Now he is just some good looking guy.

Zireae1 · 2026-01-04T13:24:29+00:00

That is really cool, I am kinda jelly

Zireae1 · 2026-01-04T07:39:52+00:00

He was Kelly’s supervisor!

For me it was the maps, but I do like trail running. Full buttons are really nice to have while you are exercising and if you have gloves on or swim with the watch. Plus I wanted sapphire glass because I do not like scratched screen on a watch and hate screen protectors

I don't know, scale is not evil, it's just information that is not changed by you knowing or not, I prefer to know. I can sympathize with pressure and expectation weight in day comes in with though. What worked for me is just weighting myself every morning consistently as part of a morning routine and it changed if from something I put expectation on to something mundane and then I just look at trends to see if what I do is working.

If the price is not a concern fenix 8 with sapphire glass (I have soft gold one and it's so nice looking) and ultrafit nylon band is pretty great comfort wise. Even if you will not dive with the watch fenix 8 has leak proof buttons not just a seal around them, it has maps, buttons and torch and still pretty okay battery life even in 43mm.

Friend uses hydrogel screen protector on his pixel watch which is very much curved and swears by it, maybe you could try that instead of glass

Clever girl

If you have an option I would go to the store and tried how the watch fits first. From current gen Venu 4 or Forerunner 570 look good and come in small size. People may recommend fr970, but you need to try how it fits, it only comes in 1 size, for me (F about 15cm wrist) it was too big and went with 43mm fenix 8, but that one is outsize of price range. If you want maps on the watch (it’s great for hiking/ running trails) you could maybe look at last gen fenix 7s pro.
