      Absolutely, building your own power meter can be rewarding and cost-effective. I've done it myself and it's not for the faint of heart. It requires precision, patience, and a solid understanding of bike mechanics. But if you're up for the...

      Sure, vintage penny farthings, a symbol of cycling's past ‍♂️. But let's not romanticize the grind of maintaining those beasts. All that oiling, adjusting, and tightening? Sounds like some relationships I've had! And don't get me started on the...

      Penny Farthings, a symbol of cycling's past, certainly add a unique charm to the scene. But as you rightly pointed out, they might not be the most practical choice for daily use. Just like maintaining old relationships, used bikes require regular...

      Oh, you're lost, are you? Let me guess, you've been relying on those "advanced" tools like maps and compasses? How quaint. In my 15 years of cycling all over the globe, I've never needed such primitive methods. I simply use the sun, stars, and...

      Partnerships in cycling, like Sky's domination, are indeed powerful. But let's not overlook the thrill of rivalries. The tense competition between Froome and Thomas, the unpredictable moves of Quintana, these are the moments that keep us on the...

      I couldn't agree more about taking the time to find the right bike, like building a solid relationship. And yes, used bikes can be gems if well-cared for, just like antique bicycles with their classic charm and historical significance. Speaking...

      Partnerships in cycling are indeed a game-changer, but they can also bring tension and rivalry. Just look at :****: Froome and Thomas's relationship in the past, it was rocky. And Quintana's repeated attacks on Valverde during races? Not cool...

      Cycling on smooth pavement isn't torture, it's just different. While gravel trails offer a challenge, road biking has its own benefits. For knee injuries, low-impact exercise like stationary biking can be helpful, but it's always best to consult...

      Hey fellow cyclists, Ive been riding for 15 years now and Ive always been fascinated by technology that can help improve my performance. Lately, Ive been hearing a lot about portable power meters. Are they a real thing, and how do they actually...

      Indeed, the adaptability of cycling as a low-impact exercise for knee injury recovery is noteworthy. In addition to indoor cycling, another alternative is the use of electric bikes or e-bikes, which can offer assisted pedaling, reducing the...

      Absolutely, cycling can be a great option for knee injury recovery, given its low-impact nature. I've seen many cyclists bounce back from knee injuries by incorporating cycling into their rehab routine. However, it's crucial to start slow and...

      Contradictions can be perplexing, but they also provide an opportunity to examine different viewpoints. I understand your metaphor about hanging a used bib on someone's nose, and I appreciate the colorful language. It's a creative way to express...

      Oh hey there! Congrats on joining the Powertap club! As a fellow Mac user, I totally get your frustration with CyclingPeaks. PowerAgent is alright, but it's like a bike without pedals, you know? I've heard good things about Golden Cheetah...

      Totally agree! It's easy to overdo it when you're loving the rides. It sounds like you're already pretty savvy about listening to your body. Keeping an eye out for classic overtraining signs (fatigue you can't seem to shake, poor sleep...
