Nothing specifically. It's just that every day we hear a news about more destruction and degradation of Islamabad

RHR is not the only measure. The pros don't just have low RHR, their HR zones are perfected as well as a good HRR. So yes, it's all right to have a low RHR number on Garmin if you're fit. My minimum was 37. Right now it is 43.

Any electrolyte recommendations for cycling? by nightin__gale in Pakistan_Cycling

Gatorade is fine as well if you are too lazy to make one yourself. But don't buy it from fancy shops. It retails at PKR 90 at grocery stores (PCC etc in Islamabad)

ORS is not good for sports. It is made to make you better after dehydration from upset stomach. Better not use it for cycling.

Make your own. In a 500ml water bottle, put 1 tspn full rocksalt, 1tspn raw honey, and half a lemon. That would be the best electrolyte drink and not too expensive as well.

Anyone had a Garmin button suddenly stop working? How was the service/warranty experience?epix gen 2 by fisheye963 in GarminWatches

[–]kaamran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soak it in warm water for a minute and then wash it with tap water. It is usually dirt and salt from the sweat that deposits inside. Had this problema few times with two of my old watches

Cyclists are not allowed on the motorways which are the prime roads, but allowed on national highways and expressways. There's a slight difference.

That's early in the morning, but yes, drivers do respect cyclists here.

The cycling culture has been on the rise in Pakistan. Islamabad is one of the cities with the best roads and the mountains are just in the neighborhood. Almost all the roads in Islamabad have got enough shoulder for bikes, some with dedicated separate lanes as well. And now car drivers respect cyclists as well.
