  1. https://www.odditycentral.com/news/japanese-factory-lets-you-knit-your-own-socks-by-riding-a-bicycle.html
  2. Was working on the Diverge Saturday as SPRING IS SPRUNG!!! Anyway, decided it was a good idea to top off the Stans sealant, so I did that. Put a small bottle of each in the tires, and re-inflated. A tiny bit still leaked out one bead, but the tired stayed solid over night, and in the AM yesterday, I dropped the pressure a bunch and did an easy ride with no issues. Anyway, it all seems to work, but it still so odd to me that it does work.
  3. ...or would he bemoan the West Coast elites stirring up his little town?
  4. ...so my question in all of this is whether a former Dyson executive can follow the same strategy at Specialized, and start marketing their bicycles at five times the price of their competition ? What's the top price you can sell a bike at, when it's already priced at $14,000 ? (Some guy rode past me on the bike trail yesterday on one of these. At 14,000 bucks, I would have assumed he would have ridden past me faster.) S-Works Aethos - Dura-Ace Di2 $14,000
  5. I use Solidworks. When we first started using the software in 2006, I decided to model my frame at home, as a way to get a feel for the program. One of the perk is, the software company allows us to use the license at home also. Then I seen this video
  6. But the door was not locked. A man was looking for a map and thought maybe they had maps at the bike rental. He open the door and walked in. Nobody was in there and the lights were not on. At least a hundred bikes in there. I guess they haven’t opened for the season yet. The restrooms were all locked.
  7. ...from Specialized. "Aero"???? Is that necessary? Also disappointing is no interior photos. ...and even less so on an e-bike?
  8. ...how my ride went. Not sure what Arman is using to track his rides, but he ought to just choose ONE!
  9. Too funny. Watched the finale of Paris Nice on Peacock, and was flipping through the channels later on to put some background noise on while straightening up a bit, and saw "Cycling" on CNBC. I had noticed on Peacock that every so often they would "play out" Bob with the going to commercial music, so it looks like that was for the later broadcast on CNBC. In any case, if you're looking for cycling on cable TV, check out CNBC once in a while. They did similar with Olympics coverage.
  10. A mile to go, and I see the crosswalk flashing ahead of me. Clear sailing! Hey, even a police officer to two busting speeders. Other folks in the crosswalk as well. Then, some rando in a white Accord decides a red light is not a stop. I was on my brakes, but it was close. I gesticulated a bit, and the cop started walking towards the white car, but as far as I could tell, the driver just drove away.
  11. While wearing my Sunday clothes. I went straight from church over to my son’s house for a triple birthday party. The twin granddudes and the oldest granddaughter’s birthdays were close enough together that they have a combined party for them. The other three girls were all born in July so they will have one party for them in July. After we ate lunch and they opened their gifts and everyone had cake the kids went out to ride bikes. Cora came back in and said her brakes were broke. Somehow the back brake cable came all discombobulated. I hooked the cable back up and adjusted her brake for her. Then Cadence came in and said her tire was flat. I didn’t buy spare tubes for all the different size tires on the kids bikes when I bought them so I just got the patch kit that I’d put in their dad’s seat bag before I gave him the bike. Cadence (6 years old) helped me take the wheel off her bike and remove the tube. She asked lots of questions. She watched me inflate the tube to find the leak. Watched me patch the hole and re-inflate the tube to see if there were any other leaks and then she helped me inspect the tire for any sharp objects inside or outside the tire. Didn’t find any. We put the tube back in and inflated it and put the wheel back on and she thanked me and rode off to join the rest of the bike gang. She said I should show her dad how to repair a tire. I told her she can tell him how to do it now that She knows how.
  12. ...but some folks make it too easy I was rolling home yesterday, minding my own business, and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL (if breezy) weather. As I approached an intersection at the bottom of a descent, I passed a guy on his TT rig, and thought, "Oh boy, now that dude is gonna be lingering behind me for all the upcoming flats and descents." He was slow when I passed him, but I know that's how those guy roll - slow on hills, fast on flats & descents. Anyway, passed him and started the little series of climbs before the pending series of "easy stuff", and seemingly had a nice gap on him. Then the two prolonged descents & flats, and he swooshed past me relatively quickly - I said hi and he ignored me. A large gap was created on that stretch, but the equalizing punchy little climbs were fast approaching, and low and behold, there he was again 20 feet in front of me. I then just did my patented dick moveTM of sitting back there and matching his pace. He'd drop into the aerobars, pedal for a bit, sit back up, look behind him, then back into aerobars, rinse and repeat many times. Considering the massive aero advantage of a TT set-up (he lacked a skin suit or aero helmet, though), I would say he was not yet into his season. Eventually, as I neared the end of my ride, I started chatting with him. He had an Aussie accent, so that made him less annoying (TT folks are generally annoying). In any case, it was fun day in the saddle, and always fun to give the aero crowd a hassle or two.
  13. ...out of four in a race I didn't realize was going on
  14. With the sun setting after 6:00pm again (and daylight savings approaching), it means I can get in "full" rides again in the afternoon. I started after 4 yesterday and easily got a 30 mile ride in. It will only get easier as the month goes on!!!! WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!!!
  15. Now that the eyes are recovering, are bike rides back on the "okay" list? Has the snow and ice receded enough for you to get back out again? How are things shaping up for the new season coming up?
  16. Adventure Cycling posted their latest route - a Philly to NC path through DE, MD, and VA. Map two - from Felton to Currituck looks neat. Might check it out - it is likely pancake flat! The Delmarva Bicycle Route creates another route option parallel to the Atlantic Coast Route between Philadelphia and the Outer Banks town of Currituck, North Carolina along the historic and scenic Delmarva Peninsula. Just a short distance from one-third of the nation’s population you can explore almost 600 miles of the peninsular region that includes Delaware, the eastern and western shore of Maryland, and a small strip of Virginia separating the Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. The toponym "DelMarVa" is a clipped compound of three state names: Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Delaware, as it so happens, not only offers world-class biking but is also the last of the lower 48 states in the U.S. to include a route mapped by Adventure Cycling. While the main route adheres to early American history hotspots and extensive sand beaches on the eastern coast of Delaware, a separate alternate route option is available that eschews the summer vacation traffic and meanders down the Eastern Shore of Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay. On this side things are a bit quieter, long sand expanses are replaced by green coastal marshes and waterways, and the rich cultural/natural landmarks of Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park and Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge are worth slowing down for. Starting at the art museum in Philadelphia at the intersection of the Atlantic Coast Route and Chicago to New York City Philadelphia Alternate Route, cyclists follow the Schuylkill River Trail to the South Street Bridge and enter the University of Pennsylvania campus, where bikes must be walked on weekdays. Beyond campus, the Baltimore Pike Bike Route helps cyclists maneuver through the epicenter of the Philadelphia-Wilmington metro area. Entering Delaware, the urban riding continues to the terminus of the Jack A. Markell Trail in Wilmington, a separated paved-and-sometimes-boardwalk bike path along rivers and over marshland bridges south to the historic village of New Castle on the banks of the Delaware River. At the small hamlet of St. Georges, reached via the smooth pavement of the Michael Castle Trail paralleling the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, the 193.5-mi. Chesapeake Option departs the main route under the U.S. 13 bridge. Southward, the main route quickly leaves the U.S. 13 corridor, utilizing secondary state and county roads through a bevy of state and federal wildlife areas to the state capital in Dover. Near the section-end town of Felton, the route joins Delaware Bike Route 1 and closely follows until the Georgetown-Lewes and Junction and Breakwater Trails deliver the rider to the famous beach boardwalks of Rehoboth Beach. Traversing beach barrier islands becomes the name of the game along SR 1 for several miles to the south, across the Maryland border and ultimately all the way to Ocean City. You'll be sharing this stretch of highway with traffic in summer months, but cycling accommodations in the form of signage, painted shoulders/sharrows, and numerous bike paths should help ease the passage. Back on the mainland, the route soon brings a rider within striking distance of a pair of quintessential barrier island ecosystems: Assateague Island National Seashore and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. An excursion of several miles off route is required to reach either, but the intrepid traveler will be repaid with an almost 40-mi. long strip of sand beach offering oceanside primitive camping, and most famously, herds of feral ponies descended, as legend would have it, from survivors of wrecked 17th century Spanish galleons off the Virginia coast. Further south, the water closes in on both sides as the route follows the narrow "tail" of the southern peninsula. Although U.S. 13 provides a thoroughfare striking through the center, cyclists will be heartened to deal with the bends and turns of parallel SR 600 instead of dodging heavy highway traffic. In Capeville, more riding joy is found on the Southern Tip Bike and Hike Trail which provides a separated, multi-use path all the way to the north toll gate for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel near Cape Charles. After a shuttle deposits you at the south toll gate in urban Virginia Beach, the white-knuckling is kept as brief as possible. Residential roads and bike paths circumnavigate the busy part of U.S. 60 along the beach, and then lead directly to First Landing State Park, where English colonists landed in 1607. Navigating the southern outskirts of the city, you'll soon find yourself on the North Carolina state line negotiating a narrow causeway through the wild and watery Mackay Island Wildlife Refuge to Knotts Island. A short ferry ride will land you at the dock in Currituck, at route's end. If it suits your fancy, hop on the intersecting Outer Banks Alternate on Atlantic Coast Route Section 4 to continue your beachy sojourn.
  17. What do you people use to patch tubes? Finally got to fixing last weeks tribulations. 2 tubes had holes along seams. My patches wouldn't hold air in. Or my my patching was the culprit. I hate throwing out tubes.
  18. If it had Di2/electric shifting, yeah, it would be! Otherwise, it ticks all the boxes - a foldable, step-through, fat tire e-bike.
