If you #bike in #Baltimore, you might be interested to know that Margo Bruner-Settles's anti-bike-lane billboard truck ran a red light in front of me today.
@alexisdyslexic@cycling So my point is not to act as if Davis is the worst - it's not. But I want to show that you don't have to scratch deeply to hit the car-centrism and ableism. Therefore holding it up uncritically as "Platinum Bike-Friendly" does us a great disservice. #UCAccessNow#CarCenrism#Cycling
When @glitter and I got to the bottom of a long hill while #cycling yesterday, I heard the tell-tale sign of a #tubeless leak in my front tire, a well-used #Panaracer#GravelKing. She even said it was smoking, but I knew it was just sealant blowing out.
Thankfully, it was at the end of our ride and I didn't have to deal with steering on a floppy tire. I did snap this picture, though. :blobfoxsweating:
I tried seating it again today and it just wouldn't hold air because of the same spot. That's when I noticed the bulge in the sidewall near the bead, so I decided to toss the tire and put on a fresh (identical) one I had in reserve. The new tire seated without issue, aside from how I had to do it twice because I put it on the wrong way the first time. :blobfoxgooglymlem:
This isn't a knock on Panaracer tire quality, of course. The tire's been through a lot and there was only so much tread left anyway.
È tornato l'evento organizzato da FIAB, partecipate numerosi. Non solo per accompagnare i bimbi a fare un giro nella città, ma anche e soprattutto per tornare a capire quanto sia importante muoversi in bici.
Thursday:
101 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners (#AppleFitness)
20 minutes of strength training
30 minutes of HIIT
6.4 km of #walking (10°C, 11km/hr wind)
…a few hours later, 6 km of #cycling for a #Filmmaking meeting to go over some stuff from the shoot.
Pretty pleased this morning, after all the workouts, got the walking speed under 9 minutes per KM, so that made me happy at least. Knee still seems to be okay. 🤔
Can also confirm that I still do not like burpees (in HIIT). 🤣
I bought this black shopping #cycling pannier and no longer need it. It has never been used. I'd like to find it a good home. Perhaps for someone who could never afford one. Local Maritimes #Canada would be great. I would only charge shipping and pick-up would be free.
I have many Arkel products [made in Canada] and they are excellent.
@nik After years of struggling because I was afraid to raise my saddle after tearing a quad in 2013 (?), I started raising it some, then noticed that I was able to pedal in smooth and quick circles instead of by mashing down. That circular pedaling is what good technique is. :blobfox: I also had to move my saddle forward quite a bit because my legs would drag me forward with their circular pedaling otherwise.
As far as handlebar position goes, that resolved itself once my core was strong enough. :geblobcatshrug: If you don't try to hold onto the bars for dear life and just let your hands fall where they will, that'll tell you where to move the bars to.
Got in a nice bike ride before going to @pluralistic 's Book reading/signing at #BookPassage in Marin yesterday. An excellent day! (thanks Cory!) #cycling
