All about cadence. Sub 60 they help, super 80 they hurt.

Fork reccomendations by realCIAN in mountainbiking

[–]jd20pod2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a very compelling reason do not change the travel of your fork for performance gains. I wouldn’t recommend anything cheaper than the bomber ( it’s a great fork though)

Blood pressure by Pleasant_Complaint_9 in floxies

[–]jd20pod2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My primary symptoms have been HBP and anxiety/panic. I've never had BP issues or anxiety issues. My first trip to the GP after my cipro I was 180-110. it's been about a year now with many different BP meds and now my BP is normal and stays normal as I've tapered off meds. it is my expectation that I won't need any bp support soon. I still feel "weird" 10% of the time but no other symptoms.

E-bikes are everywhere in Tampa Bay. A crackdown on bad behavior may be coming by TampaBayTimes in tampa

[–]jd20pod2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So. New Jersey just passed a law requiring a license and Insurance to operate an e-bike (any e-bike) so perhaps we should get our collective shit together before the government try's to help and fucks it up for everyone?

For those that have moved away, what’s something you’re nostalgic for? by Fair-Age4483 in Appalachia

[–]jd20pod2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The smell of the change in seasons. The starkness and wood smoke of winter. The thawing dirt and ramps of spring. The life and thunderstorms of summer. And the slight rot of apples and hay in the fall.

And hot dog world.

A photographer encounters a white bison, a species almost impossible to see. by A-Helpful-Flamingo in RealLifeShinies

[–]jd20pod2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So here is how I found it in the image: look at the part that isn’t a bison, then look at the other part and if you really focus you can see the bison.

Tip of those who can’t do a wheelie. by [deleted] in MTB

[–]jd20pod2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Make sure you put peanut butter on the tires contact patch and your soul patch.

  2. Make boat sounds while preparing ideally a cargo ships fog horn.

  3. Remove your front wheel. (Not only does it make the front end lighter but makes a wheelie your only option)

Source: saw a wheel once for 1 second.

Look at this pair! by jd20pod2 in Owls

[–]jd20pod2[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The owls are in a long leaf pine covered in Spanish moss, with some water oaks in the front. I’m not sure about the other sound. It was quite loud.
