#schwinn — Public Fediverse posts

It really got a lot warmer, but there’s still some ice left… 😩 So I shortened my run today and opted for two #AppleFitnessPlus workouts: one on my #Schwinn spinning bike and one on my rower. And I even took the time to skip some rope. The streets have been cleared by now, so I‘m back on my bike for the daily commute. That‘s almost the best part of it for today! #Running #rowing #cycling #ropeskipping

After my morning run, I hopped onto my #Schwinn spinning bike and did a 20 minute #AppleFitnessPlus workout with Coach Ty. Man, that was awesome! Pure interval training, I was dripping with sweat, my heart rate shot up – and it was fun! More of that, please!

No #Running today, but I got up on my trusted #Schwinn spinning bike and did two rounds on the #Hammer rower. Feels very good – and I was completely soaked after the indoor cycling workouts… Now off to the shower! 💦#AppleFitnessPlus

No, not in the least. I‘ll just hop on my #Schwinn training bike and start up a few Apple Fitness+ workouts.

Before heading over to my Hammer Cobra XTR rowing machine to add some more.

But: No excess here!

@askekammer Thank you very much. It’s actually beginning to feel like *a lot* in recent weeks. There are days when I hardly can keep my eyes open once I sit down for any stretch of time longer than five minutes. So, at the turn of the year, I will cut back somewhat. Down from the daily 28-33K to a maximum of 21.1K, maybe there will be rest days. I cannot yet tell, but my #schwinn spinning bike and my Hammer rower will be in an almost daily demand… weird, but needed.

Wow, 9+ hours of sleep, that doesn’t happen *that* often. But I‘m feeling *really great*, planning on starting out with a short warm-up round on my #Schwinn training bike, even (maybe) adding on some #rowing before going out for my run. 🤩👊🏻💪🏻

@pfernandes Wow! I slept long (wait for my next post) and haven’t started my sports activities yet. But in a few minutes, I‘ll be on my #Schwinn training bike and warm up for the run… Have a great weekend, Pedro!

Pluses on this bike (1985 Schwinn Super Sport):

High quality components (Columbia Tenax Frame, Shimano 600 groupset, Araya wheels)

Fine looking bike!

Minuses on this bike:

Geometry is really only usable in drop position (for me). Extremely high bar position on the stem. I think this was the fashion era of "real bicyclists only use drop bars"

(For those who didn't see the original state of this, this was an extreme rust bucket in December... decided to buy the cheapest and rustiest--but most promising--bicycle off Craigslist and get it back running for fun.) #BikeTooter #Schwinn #BikeRestoration https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr/113698674691845275

1970 Schwinn Varsity. #vintage #vintagebikes #schwinn

My hands were too greasy to pick up a phone, but 1970's Schwinn Varsity wheels are absolutely simple to clean and repack, as are the bottom brackets. All steel everything, bomber. This bicycle appears to have been rolling around with no/minimal grease for how many ever decades, LOL (and no damage to the bearings despite that). The only part of this bicycle that wasn't re-lubed was the headset, which is locked in place (probably a little bit of surface rust crammed in there...). #bikerepair #schwinn

Ordered replacement parts from the LBS, to arrive at some undetermined future time (for pickup at the store). The cost of parts (of course) is pricey, but again -- I am NOT doing this to acquire a new bicycle, I am doing this for the process of restoring the bicycle (and learning... plus, repairing stuff is therapeutic). i.e. it's the trip... not the destination. #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #bikerepair #bike #schwinn

@NoNoBrainer Sehr gut, amtliche Leistung! Ich gebe bei meinem #schwinn nichts auf die Entfernungsanzeige sowie die angeblich erstrampelte Geschwindigkeit. Für mich zählen nur die verbrannten Kolonien, äh, Kalorien…

@NoNoBrainer Ich war gestern auch auf dem #schwinn und habe zwei Apple Fitness+ Trainings zu je 45 Minuten absolviert. Höllisch gut, aber schweißtreibend ohne Ende, ich tropfte aus jeder Pore. Die Intervalle waren echt heftig gestaffelt, das Training mit Emily hieß 30-30, also insgesamt 30x 30 Sekunden Vollgas & 30 Sekunden Pause. Jeweils ein Fünfer-Block, dann 90 Sekunden leicht, dann noch ein Fünfer-Block, dann ein ganzer Song Pause… Kalorien wurden verbrannt. 🥵

Good (late) morning! Today is a kind of Apple Fitness+ day for me: Starting out on my #schwinn bike for a 20 minute ride and finishing off with a #TimeToRun run (which I extended from the mere ~30 minutes to my usual realm of #Running activities…). Since subscribing to #MSNBC premium on Apple podcasts, I relish in ad-free listening, truly a great convenience! Have a great weekend, y‘all! #applewatchultra2 #applefitnessplus #uspol #podcasts

Yeah! That Bon Jovi cycling workout was a blast! Never had so much fun on the #schwinn – great warm up for #Running !

Then a short cool down, some Black Roll workout to loosen my leg and back muscles, then out into the – already quite warm – morning air.

After reaching the 23 km point, I had to take a very short break (~1 minute) because I was so incredibly hot and dehydrated (I forgot to bring my water bottle along). Fortunately, there was only 1 km left… #applewatchultra2 #applefitnessplus

This morning’s run was just standard procedure, as I was deeply focused on my audiobook. It’s a wonder I didn’t jump in shock the moment a lonely wanderer crossed my path. I hadn’t looked too far ahead and jumped a little (inside)… Besides that: Feels goooood to get back into shape piece by piece. Still slow and very exhausted after completing 24K (which I wasn‘t three weeks ago), but I‘ll get back to that pristine state… Cycling helps a lot! #Running #applewatchultra2 #applefitnessplus #schwinn

Early up today, some urgent family business I wanted to be part of. Warm up on the #schwinn (20 minutes of #cycling with coach Ty), then Black Roll for ~18 minutes – and then off into the cold morning (no joke, it was really chilling out there). Steps per minute: up! Heart rate: down! Running speed: up! So: right on track back towards my former stamina. Yesssss! #Running #applewatchultra2 #applefitnessplus

@ascentale @genex A1. Posting from Beaverton, OR. I’ve got two cycles: a purple #Schwinn prelude frame with really nice components and a slate-grey #Benno e-scout. I really wish my Benno wasn’t the color of asphalt, tho. Prior to these, I rode single-speed cruisers.

Both pictures are from the Oregon Zoo with identical accessories for size comparison.

It looks like Rip Van Winkle went for a bike ride with a friend and then took a nap. A loooong nap. As seen at Bicycle Heaven in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Here's a 360 video tour of the museum - https://youtu.be/7HVQo--8psE

I stopped by Bicycle Heaven at the start of my bicycle tour on the Great Allegheny Passage and Chesapeake and Ohio Trails from Pittsburgh to Washington DC.

After this long and arduous day, I was in the mood for some #schwinn biking with Coach Ty. Boy, it was hot and sticky, but I had lots of fun. #applewatchultra2 #applefitnessplus #Running

Hotel Could Be Coming To Fulton Market Inside Original #Schwinn #Bicycle Factory
The 140-room boutique hotel would be inside a vacant six-story building that had been converted to apartments.

Yes, yes, yes! That was a great start into this Tuesday: First 20 minutes on my beloved #schwinn bike, then some minutes with my Black Roll collection to get loose for the run. #Running was great, listening to ROADKILL by Dennis E. Taylor (again, I think it was my third or fourth time since I bought the #audiobook in 2023). Tempo was ok, heart rate rather low, weather ok, just a little colder than I had expected it to be – I was glad for every sunny patch… #applewatchultra2 #applefitnessplus

Third day of my four days off, I slept from ~10pm to shortly after 5am, then took my time to prepare and warm up. And off I went on my daily half-marathon. New audiobook, nice weather (still a little cool in the beginning, I had to keep my fingers in my sleeves for the first three kilometers), nobody around. Perfect! To round it off: Indoor cycling and rowing. A good start into the day. #applewatchultra2 #applefitnessplus #schwinn #audiobooks #Running

This run was a very relaxed one, and it was a serene one as well. I met only three people in the course of my run, usually there are more people around at this time of day. But I really liked it that way. I just ran along without planning my route, trusting my inner autopilot. As it turned out, that was the best strategy for me today. Afterwards, I jumped on my #schwinn and did an #applefitnessplus workout, followed by a #rowing workout, both of which by Coach Bakari. #Running #applewatchultra2

Back to my own kind of triathlon routine. Finally! And it felt good from start to finish, so I guess I‘ll do that again tomorrow. Weather is changing rapidly from 20+ C over the weekend to around 10 C right now, and it’s supposed to get way cooler (and rainy) in the coming days. Good for running, not so good for my morning commute. Have a good start into this week, y‘all! #Running #applefitnessplus #applewatchultra2 #rowing #cycling #schwinn

@ascentale @rodbotic #BikeNite A1. My typical ride is 7 miles to the library with a good stretch along a power line linear park in #Beaverton #PDX. It’s kinda fragmented with narrow walking paths and sections where I have to cross pretty busy roads (Farmington, TV Highway, and Murray). On sunny days, I can take my #Schwinn Prelude acoustic and others I take my #Benno E-Scout.

Whoa, I‘ve put on two more kilos than I like, so less eating, more running! And cycling! And rowing! Have a great Sunday, y‘all! #Running #rowing #applewatchultra2 #schwinn #applefitnessplus #cycling

That was awesome: I slept *long* (4:38 am), ran a new route, cycled and rowed – and through it all I felt completely energetic and happy. Now I’m heading for a quick shower, then warm-up (trumpet) and then I‘m off to Leipzig. Have a wonderful weekend, y‘all! #Running #schwinn #rowing #BluesAndTheGang #applefitnessplus #applewatchultra2
