Like if I go to my doctor for my annual grab the nuts and cough I'll shower and scrub every last crack but if I need to go to the ER I'm not stopping to take a bath first.

How do you mix training for cycling with a proper strength routine? I'm trying to raise my FTP, need to lose like 10kg by next year for climbs BUT the Physiotherapist told me I need to do more strength/weight training for my body... Specially my back and shoulders. I'm currently doing:>Intervals 3x/wk >Strength routine (Kettlebell + pullups) 2x/wk >Long ride on weekends I've literally never done any strength stuff in my life before and generally hate it compared to cardio.

To make PEAK POWER you must also be pulling in the handlebars recruiting every muscle in your body at producing as much joules of energy into the cranks as possible. Who gives a shit about speed over distance ftp watt kg ratios and slurping energy jizz every few hours, I just wanna go FAST and for that, all you need is peak power

I mean, sure, if you're scared of gyms and too broke to buy a couple kettlebells you can get great results with bodyweight, but why nobble yourself?

>>2027529 Your core doesn't fix your DYEL forearms, triceps, and upper back. It doesn't fix your pectoral muscles and biceps that you use to stand and spider up the hill.
It doesn't fix anything besides low back pain and stabilization.
If someone isn't flexible enough to ride in an aero position, yes stretching can help with that, same thing with all the short crank copers. Pretty sure many of them are just dyel's with busted bodies.

Ive only had minor scrapes over the last 2-3 years, my bike on the otherhand has suffered tremendously. if i dont feel comfortable, i stop at a downhill or technical section and slowly coast down. One time from a complete standstill to only a few seconds going downhill, i went over the bars. Furthermore, my bike is basically a walmart mt bike with only small suspension in the front and hardtail back with 26.5 in wheels. I didnt learn until recently that you should have low tire PSI at like 20-25, i would always go out on like 50-60 psi. Ive learned that for some obstacles you need speed to roll through some obstacles/rock gardens , but because i have to ride so far to get to my trails, i always try to go back in one piece, so im risk averse, bad at mt biking, and the trails i have access to dont have jumps and are not as technical or crazy as jumps and drops I see videos of

It disgusts me how today's so-called "cycling activists" are doing the work of the automotive lobby while thinking that they're the good guys. Imagine if a bunch of politicians started pushing for a special residential area for a certain group, after having them habitually assaulted with weapons for many years. "We're terribly sorry about all the bloodshed but can't guarantee your safety, if you want to be safe, you have to go in this special place we designated for you". That is what bike lanes are. We've tried "separate but equal". It doesn't work, because tyranny of the majority means a highly flexible definition of "equal". People who have been riding bikes for many decades know what the game is. But zoomers and corona cyclists believe they know best. Instead of demanding justice, they demand segregation. Which is exactly what the automotive supremacists want.

I hate sharing the road with cars. Riding on separate MUPs is better for my safety and, possibly even more importantly, for my comfort. As a side effect, it's also more convenient for the cagers. I'm sure pedestrians hate sharing the MUP with me though.

I didn't see one or something similar in the catalog so here we are and I need help. I had my chain skipping in the hardest gears on my road bike, 10speed cassette and double crank, which I don't normally ride in. But no issues otherwise So I thought maybe my chain was to blame but never measures and don't have the tools for that anyways. I bought a new chain and now it starts to skip on the front sprocket. Now I'm starting to wonder if I have worn out both the front large sprocket and the middle of the cassette to the point I just need to replace all of it... thats a little pricey and I'm cheap. How should I proceed in trouble shooting this? thanks in advance

On the subject of 27in to 700c; I have an older frame that I'm toying with with changing over. The front hub has a major divot so it needs a replacement anyway. I don't think I'd get much more clearance with tire width, maybe I'd be able to go from 32 to 35. I would possibly get a little more toe clearance but at least wouldn't get worse and as long as I stick with the wider 700 tires I shouldn't drop the bottom bracket too low. New brakes aren't too much of an impediment either at 70 bucks for a set of longer tektros. The rear is fine, I just recently repacked it. It's currently a 126mm 6 speed freewheel which either limits prebuilt wheel options or requires spreading the steel frame a bit. I am fairly confident though that the Suntour VX touring dr will handle a 7speed up to 34T and the current crankset doesn't have a problem with the 7spd chain currently. Is it worth the effort to swap to 700c just for the tire selection and maybe a little foot clearance? Are there any other hidden benefits of 700c or 27 that I'm not seeing?

>>2027123 I have 27s on my main bike. never bothered me enough to switch, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
you can get all the versions of Schwalbe Marathons and also Panaracer Pasela PTs in 27 for very reasonable prices so I've been happy with those.
also, I have a really large frame and the bigger rims are much more proportional, but that's just looks, I guess.

I bought an extremely cheap road bike and one of the things that's been a perpetual source of frustration is the wheels. >neither stayed very true for long >tons of spokes breaking on both wheels on the slightest bump >replaced probably a good 30 spokes, including >completely rebuilt one of the wheels at one point, though I can't remember which one So the stock wheels are shit, and I hate having to put so much work into them. Now I find that the front wheel has this big dent in the rim. I tried straightening it with a pair of pliers but can't get it very flat. When I brake it makes a very annoying THUNK-THUNK-THUNK sound and shudders me to a halt in a really uncomfortable way. I'm thinking it's likely time to replace the wheel. But I haven't bought a new wheel before so I'm not sure what I should be buying.>Should I buy a new rim and try rebuilding the wheel myself? I like DIYing stuff, but don't want to spring for a full truing stand. I really don't want to spend two hours truing it only to have it come out of true in a week and have to go through the same shit I did with the original wheel; is this something that's much better handled by a factory? >What should I be looking for in terms of brand, price, etc? >Can/should I be saving the bearing? Would I need any special tools to transfer it, aside from the usual allen wrenches, screwdrives, pliers?

Are there any (i don't know what you would call them) Urbanist architecture experts that have found other issues?
Concerning the budget, if a brand new city were to be built on undeveloped land, would it be economical to the build 1-2 levels of underground traffic all at once. The increased profits in surface real estate seems big

There is so much technical debt owing to the system being a weird patchwork of different lines all built at different times though that the system has inherent bottlenecks that would be impossible or very expensive to overcome. Overall though it is a system that is improving.
