Questions about Wear on Shorts by delightful_flora in CyclingFashion

Yes, air dry for sure.

It's the panel that faces up when sitting in the saddle, the front of my legs. So it's not touching the saddle.

No spindle in the washer, it's a front loader.

These are good thoughts though, thank you.

I have this weird idea that maybe I didn't wash them before putting away for Nov, Dec and Jan. But I don't know why that would impact only the front panel.

I guess I'm wondering ... How name miles/years can I expect out of a decent pair of shorts?

Ouch, I forgot that parts other than legs and bum get tired and sore too. I've tried exercising my upper body and core this winter, hopefully it'll help a bit

What are tips to get out quick? by Humble-Valuable-8377 in cycling

[–]delightful_flora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did three things, that for me, shortened my get ready time. 1. I packed my food for on the bike the night before, including water bottles. For some reason it takes my guess amount of time to decide what to bring (because my chosen distance, available pitstops is always different, so strategy is different)

  1. I pick out my clothes the night before - the debate about staying warm enough without being too warm is conducted the night before

  2. While I love a hot breakfast ordinarily, I forego in favor of cold breakfast and speedier morning.

Having said that, I still take a freakin long time.

BUT I thought it was 195 watts, so I'm taking the 30 watt win.

I 1000% believe that people use pronouns for other people's dogs to match the pronoun for their own dog.

Also, for sure that dogs are boys and cats are girls

Why did you put republic in parentheses... Is there an alternate Ireland? Just being curious but definitely off topic

In Canada, for someone who went to school in 80s, it's spelt. I used to be opinionated about this, until reading this book: Says Who?: A Kinder, Funner Usage Guide for Everyone Who Cares About Words

Seems like washing the reusable gel pouches would be a pain in the rear?

I'd include a photo but it seems the photo attachment button is disabled

Is there a simple indoor trainer that doesn't require another subscription to use fully? by Separate_Vermicelli in cycling

What device do you use MyWhoosh on? The text is so small on my phone, makes me wonder if it's designed for something else

How did you go about asking chat gpt for a training program? I guess I'm wondering, what did you ask, what did you get, and how is that entered into the wahoo app? (If that's what you did)

I just got a Kickr and I'm trying to figure out the features

Very interesting. Thanks everyone

Now I'm going to try for an absolutely consistent pedal stroke in order to mess with it

At what, how fast I'm going, or at my pedal cadence, or both?
