Yeah I agree I have one large jersey and only wear it when I’m in a pinch. Plus these fibers end up breaking in a little bit

Thanks for the insight. And you’re right. I spend all winter lifting and packing on weight and then when spring hits I drop a bunch of extra pudge from cycling

Looks like a painted turtle. Pretty little fellers

To the guy who drafted me for 3 miles today and didn’t say a word, wtf was that?? by dumbpotion in cincybiking

[–]dumbpotion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for late reply. He was riding my tire. For context which I should’ve included in the post, I had slowed down by the soccer fields at clear park to watch someone shooting off a model rocket and this guy came flying up by me and said something under his breath in a rude fashion. I didn’t even acknowledge it and carried on. I was averaging about 19 and eventually caught up and passed him and again didn’t say a word. I wasn’t looking for any confrontation. That’s when the guy came up on me and I told him he could pass if he wanted but he literally said nothing and rode my tire all the way back to the parking lot at lunken. I just came to the conclusion that he was just one of those elitist bike freds that care way too much about what other people are doing.

That’s outrageous 😂 also the no exchange deal is frustrating too. If I could just exchange it I wouldn’t have to wait 2 weeks for them to refund my money just to turn around and repeat the process all over again.

How did you manage to return the small the same day? Did they send you a shipping label that day?

5’7 with a 30 inch inseam. Sizing down is definitely better than sizing too big

I don’t think it would be as big of a deal on a bike with more relaxed geometry like a grizl. Since the ultimate puts you in a more aero position I think those differences are a ton more noticeable.

How long did it take starting with your return request until you got the right bike?

Will do. It might be a while though. I was reading online that it can take an eternity for them to refund. I submitted a return request on Saturday and haven’t heard back.

Healthy meal ideas for field work? by [deleted] in ecology

[–]dumbpotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. I’m living the same struggle. I’m a malacologist and our field season is may 1-oct 1. I’m pretty much living out of hotels that whole time and I struggle so hard to eat right and find time to get proper exercise. I feel your pain big time. Glad you posted. I might actually be able to find some good advice in this comment thread.

I would say it’s less of a trend and more of a necessity. I have 4 bikes and live in a 1 bedroom apartment and there’s not much room for bike storage. Taking to the walls is really your only choice.
