I appreciate being able to go faster for longer muscle-wise now, but my lungs can't keep up. I think that's why I keep hitting my oxygen wall. #cycling #bicycle #mastobikes #biketooter

That must be why folks pick a pace for sustained riding rather than go all out.

Sort of. There’s a hyperbolic curve that relates the duration of the effort to power output. Structured training, metabolic pathways and the like are a deep rabbit hole.

Low oxygen ride today. :( #cycling #bicycle #mastobikes #biketooter

I still think about how I rode across the E 11th Street #Bridge in #Tacoma not long before it was shut down. At the time, the outer lanes were closed to reduce traffic loads on the old bridge, and it's currently being demolished. (1, 2)

The grated bridge deck of the truss portion was not fun on 32mm touring tires! :O #cycling #bicycle #mastobikes

Broke another VO decaleur. :( #cycling #bicycle #mastobikes

more explanation needed. How? They seem pretty robust to me.

Pinched a nerve in my thigh while climbing a hill on today's ride, and it wasn't even a very hard hill! x.x #cycling #bicycle #mastobikes

Today's ride was a low oxygen one. I kept running out of breath when I usually am fine. I hope I'm not coming down with something. :blobfoxsad: #cycling #bicycle #mastobikes

Finally switched to my new #cycling shoes! It's nice not having shoes with large holes in the soles. #bicycle #mastobikes

(I only got the grey camo because they were on clearance and thus significantly cheaper than the "normal" colors.)

Seems like cars and road design today give some drivers a sense of invincibility.

Maybe that's what needs to change.

The dumbest bike law you've never heard of

I wouldn’t call it dumb. Outdated, yes, definitely. But not dumb; it was enacted for a reason, and it accomplished its goal: to make children’s bikes safer. It looks dumb now because we have technology that wasn’t available at the time the law was written; but that doesn’t make it dumb.

It needs to be updated in line with what technology can do now. On this, I’m in full agreement. I just wish people would use the right terminology to describe these things: outdated; outmoded; obsolete. Not judge laws from 50 years ago in line with modern day expectations, as if they’re being legislated today.

Yes, he did address the climate in which it it was enacted in his video, and said that it made sense then. He also said that it needs to be updated based on today's technology.

Yup. I'm taking issue with the click-baity headline rather than the content of the video, really. That sort of stuff really irks me. We're on the same page on the crucial matter.

Is there anything more “bicycle touring” than eating on the side of the road? #bicycle #cycling #mastobikes

Eating on the side of the D52, on our tour from Tours to Besançon in 1981, following the Loire. Near Cheverny.
