  1. Training days like this one also occur.

    These are especially nice because this session was with very few breaks.

    Contrary to popular beliefs you don't need to ride constantly in order to properly train your body
    You can take your brakes, do it at the leasure pace. When your body is in the mood to do this in virtually one session it is great.

    Don't chase these however, listen to your body. After all you're not a professional cyclists you just keeping your body very healthy, and making sure, that it performs decades younger than it actually is.

  2. Two have been good training days, others have been nice one has been rest. These are just snapshots of when the bike computer was turned on. Naturally my current bike computer is just an Android.
    I do not bother to buy a specialized bike computer for many USD anymore, USD which I can use for PPE

  3. I've researched alternative SPD shoes, found good to great ones, yet had to bring all sizes to cm because of the wild size tables. Otherwise I could have ordered shoes which are too small.

    One of the good other brands has a very sturdy & nice looking shoe, but they don't go larger than 11 and 1/2, which according to their custom sizing table, is a number of centimeters smaller than what I need.

    There are other fantastic SPD waterproof boots, which also have that annoying sizing difference between Shimano and theirs. These cost a whopping USD 350, 3x more than a complex effect for my audio effects rack. They are made of genuine leather though.

    Of the last sets of Shimano SPD shoes that I bought, one got ripped open at the big toe, after a run of the mill 0 km an hour stationary fall, which I broke perfectly, with the compliments of my Judo experience.

    That has been the breaking point for me forcing to ditch Shimano SPD shoes also. Shimano budget SPD shoes are a liability now.

    I do not want know what may have happened to my feet, if it was a 30 km an hour fall.

    I have a reserve pair of those shoes which I have to wear now for obvious reasons.

  4. You have to be wary of where you buy these now though because even brands like this one now deliver very low quality PPE for steep prices, totally defeating The purpose of the PPE.

    Shimano quality has dropped exponentially in the last two decades.

  5. Cycling is a sport which requires proper cycling PPE. These SPD shoes 👟 give me proper protection to the feet 🐾

  6. Puncture in tube. I rode three hours on this punctured tube all the way home 🏠

  7. This program was working perfectly fine until the programmer started messing with it, four years ago.

    As you can see from the stats, it's impossible for me to have ridden 70 km an hour and have such a low avg speed at such a short distance.

    Yes I can ride 70 km an hour, no not on this bike where I sit straight up. No it's not the GPS reception which got haywire. The programmer keeps putting nag screens thinking that we will pay him while the program is free for use and donationware

    This program reached stability more than 10 years ago for no good reason he keeps messing with it. All he needs to do is recompile it for higher Android versions.

    /me is annoyed

  8. Sometimes only a short ride can be executed.
    I made it count, since my stats are usually much more relaxed

    This was on the MTB on which you sit like a large braking parachute. Of course I was in full PPE and of course I made sure that I ate hours and hours before, which means my system had all the energy for the ride

  9. This is how speed looks like when you cycle and look down. This was snapped with a Nikon Coolpix camera, while I was flying at 50 km an hour

  10. These are SPD shoes

    Everything stands and falls with choosing the right PPE.

    PPE Is The last Defense between you and disaster.

    Protect yourself.
