Did you exercise today?

Would a mini stepper meet those needs? They seem to be much cheaper too.
How far is it?
24km each way
Half of it on bike trail, other half in traffic
Also did a nice quick 32k in about 1h10 minutes yesterday while waiting for kiddo to do her taekwondo.
Those industrial areas (with bike lanes!?!?) are hidden gems
I just had 6 cookies...does that count? About to hit the weight rack in a few once those cookies settle in.
That is an ideal distance. My work is 42km away and downhill to work and uphill back (seems like uphill both ways), I never attempted it though.
My morning ride is around 16 km and you are so right, it is through an industrial area with very little traffic early in the morning, I used to take a road and trail for 27km until Covid and the trails got too busy as everyone was out early.
You are fast, it takes me 50+/- 5 min to do the 16km route and used to take me 1 hr 35 min to do the 27km. The shorter route has more hills, and the last hill before home is when I know what I am made of
Alright. I redeemed myself, banged out a whole bunch of sets for chest and triceps.
Now off to the bar for a beer, wings, and some bar food.
I love work functions.

Maybe too small a job for the what you did in the garage thread. Didn’t want to put the winter bike away with the spindle toothed chainring so changed it up. Got 2 seasons out of this SRAM which I had to beg for at bike shop as it was a takeoff from a new bike and only that had it near me. Now I got the new one from Amazon. Even after I cleaned up the crud, I don’t know how it never skipped.

it depends, I sometimes do, sometimes dont.
If I had a really solid core workout in the last 12 hours, they are quite visible. Also depends on water content I feel.
If I was an athlete or someone obsessed over body fat %, with a VERY dialed in and planned diet, Im sure they'd be visible 100% of the time and I'd never wear a shirt.
Congratulations. You may have the worst chainring I've ever seen. You probably couldn't have got away with that level of wear at the rear but the front had enough links in contact to get the job done. How many km? Did it see lube during its life?
Sorry, I meant to put this in the do you cycle thread. oy.
I am guessing it has 5,000km, it was 3 seasons not 2. I always lubed it and wonder if that attracted more sand/salt. I have studded tires and ride whenever snow isn't deep or slush. The local bike shop guy says he never lubes his chain in the winter and keeps its orange hue. I might try that next season. I have a new chain and rear mech to put on; maybe.
when i first started 6ish years ago i could only do one way on one dayThat is an ideal distance. My work is 42km away and downhill to work and uphill back (seems like uphill both ways), I never attempted it though.
