Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
I can only guess that Stages is exiting the smart bike market, because the pricing on their SB20 all-in-one is crazy low. Not only do you get a solid indoor training solution, no bike required, but also a year of Zwift. I’ve never ridden the SB20, and truth be told, I’m not a fan of the smart bike genre because at the end of the day it’s never going to have great…
The back wheel just arrived. First full-disc, and second Light Bicycle wheel. Run it through the usual quality checks; well… did have to skip the spoke tension check :). Intro: 0:02 Unboxing: 1:13 Truing Stand: 3:20 Weight: 5:23 Tire Testing: 6:15 Easy On, Doesn’t Mean Easy Mount: 7:34…

If you needed another reason to feel good about all those hours you spend pushing the pedals, pounding the pavement, or even swimming. Let’s bask in the finding in this study, which looked at the relationship between COVID-19 outcomes and levels of physical activity.…

What I don’t get is how they consistently take things that used to be part of the “free” offering, and push them behind the paywall. They did it with segments, and now it’s Year In Sport.…
OK, wow! That’s a lot of new, cool stuff, and quite a few bug fixes in Alpha version 11.15 for the fēnix 7 and related Garmin outdoor recreation watches. I’ve highlighted a few of the more interesting things, but the most interesting thing might be support for Connect IQ System 6, which promises a richer experience on the watch.…
I can’t say that I’ve even been tempted to load up on phosphate pre-race, but now I know that I should resist this urge, should it ever appear. Down boy! Down!…
