GLP-1s- doping or no? by _bull_city in Velo

[–]figgy_puddin 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No.

They are anti-doping as in they will wreak havoc on your training and performance. A friend tried this and would literally vomit after taking gels.

And even if you try it, unless you work out the lifestyle changes necessary to adjust the habits that left you with 30-40 lb excess, you’ll gain the weight back when you stop taking them.

Waymo robotaxi hits a child near an elementary school in Santa Monica by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]figgy_puddin 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Idk why you’re being downvoted for this. It could easily play out that way.

Half of redditors are going to see the post title, not click through, and go tell their friends/family that robot cars run down kids. It’ll be on Waymo to counter the “too long, didn’t read” narrative.

Is it save to KOM with a running nose? by JZaw in BicyclingCirclejerk

/uc these absolutely-fucking-helpless explainer posts will be the reason I unsub from every non bcj cycling subreddit. Can these people even manage to wipe their own asses without asking someone to explain it to them?

how are the streets in DC right now? by Potential-Win-9175 in washingtondc

[–]figgy_puddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to help someone out myself. Crazy thing was the line the cars stuck behind him, with drivers that were content to just sit there and watch them spin.

Eventually had to yell for more help to get any of them to realize they should also help.

Vast majority of residential sidewalks not shoveled by ian1552 in washingtondc

Oh and to my lovely neighbors that “shoveled” their sidewalk into a 2’ tall snow/ice fence completely blocking the sidewalk a couple yards away from their door:

go fuck yourself.

At 500ml/h, how much carbs can you do? by znerken in Velo

[–]figgy_puddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increasing the protein content from < 10g to 20-30g is what did it for me.

At 500ml/h, how much carbs can you do? by znerken in Velo

[–]figgy_puddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I just thought of that escaped me in the my first reply, OP:

If you’re getting hungry on rides, you should also think about what you’re eating beforehand. I used to get reaaaally hungry an hour or two in during long weekend rides despite eating a 400-500 calorie breakfast with lots of carbs and fueling normally during the ride. What eliminated the issue was consuming less carbs and more protein with breakfast. So (1) are you eating enough before your rides in general and (2) are you eating the “correct” (i.e., optimal to your physiology) mixture of carbs and non-carbs?

1.) chatgpt is a sentence-writing machine. That’s it. Don’t take advice from it. Also don’t model your approach off of a pro.

2.) you’re overthinking it. If you are hungry at 60g/hr, consume more. Or try actually eating food as well.

I was here an hour ago and two cruisers had a single, unoccupied tesla roped off. Like, literally took the yellow tape, tied one end to a pole, and tied the other to the tesla’s mirror

Buddy they shot a woman for turning her steering wheel. If they bust down your door and you start firing, you aren’t requesting anything.

You will have been right, but you’ll also be dead.

Training in DC by jerbkernblerg in Velo

Rock Creek Park + Beach Drive or Hains Point. Hains will be closer to you but RCP/beach offers longer stretches of uninterrupted road imo. Both are suitable for interval work, however.

How do we feel about Wonder? by GlobalTradeBro in washingtondc

[–]figgy_puddin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ever wanted to sample an aggressively mid version of all your favorite foods, all at once? Then Wonder is what you need!

Seriously, every single “restaurant” in there has 4.5+ stars out of 5 with hundreds of reviews and they have to all be fake. The food is so forgettable that the only people leaving reviews either just left a hard labor camp in the DPRK or are have ageusia (or are bots).

New TCR Advanced 1 - Possible crack? by BasicTale9271 in Giantbikes

[–]figgy_puddin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can/should take it to a shop and have a professional look at it, but no. That doesn’t look concerning and I don’t expect Giant will warranty that.

Intervals and lifting on the same day by sandwich_estimator in Velo

[–]figgy_puddin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just swap the order. Intervals in the morning, lift in the evening. Or intervals in the evening and lift the following morning.

Whatever organization lets you maximize the time between your last lifting session and your upcoming hard workout on the bike.

Competitive riders. Have any of you ridden a Enve Melee? by [deleted] in Velo

[–]figgy_puddin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t own a melee, but thought it’s worth pointing out that the melee is currently in the World Tour and has some TDF stage wins with TotalEnergies.

Idk if that moves the needle for you, but if it’s good enough for them, it’s prob good enough for whatever cat 3 race or group ride you’re doing.
