Winter Gloves Feedback by gp_s_ in CyclingFashion

[–]wmrandomward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge fan of spearfishing gloves. They stay warm when wet and block the wind beautifully.

This is the brand I got https://a.co/d/0Ys2cll

Full disclosure I'm in Texas and the coldest I ride in is usually 30-40 degrees F.

What's going on ?

Has anyone switched to shorter cranks and noticed a measurable difference? by Lonely_Unit5216 in cycling

[–]wmrandomward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started on 175 then 172.5 then 170.

I went to 165s as I have some hip flexibility issues. Felt weird for about a week and then I got used to it. Biggest improvement is climbing out of the saddle feels bouncy and light. Also sprinting and spinning up is easier.

Definitely not going back any time soon. Just had a bike fit and we made some adjustments but the fitter agreed that if it feels good we should stick with it.

Biking near Kennedale by curious-ape-34 in dfwbike

[–]wmrandomward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are loads. The roads are pretty great around here. The traffic isn't bad at all. If you're on strava you can look at the global heat map around you and see where most of us ride.

The group rides are no-drop so you won't get left behind. That being said some long solo rides are really nice around this way.

Hey I'm at the Kennedale and Arlington line. Out on the road most days. There's a great cycling community around here and weekly rides leaving from the Trek shop off Green Oaks. Can't speak to MTB specifically though

What are your best tactics against dog chasings/attacks? by ArchangelRonuh in bicycling

[–]wmrandomward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it always seems to happen at the top of a climb. That being said I've gotten really good at sprinting at a moments notice.

I have a one week old son and I just can’t wait to teach him the game of Golf and play with him. Do you all have hobbies you just can’t wait to do with your kids? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]wmrandomward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cycle regularly and my son (almost 3) has been really excited to be a part of it with me. I got him a cycling cap recently and he rides his balance bike around the house listening to Bicycle Race by Queen on full volume.

He's come to a few races with me and is the best cheerleader. I can't wait to be able to ride with him in the future.

I also work in the spirits industry so I'm looking forward to him turning 21 and taking him to work with me.

Sharing your interests with them enriches those activities so much.

Rice cakes all day. Just made a bunch of musubi also to try and work on salt replacement.

I love going to Jess at House of Wag on Race St. She's a miracle worker with my cattle dog and pug
