Just like with anything else, the lightest option is always to just not pack as much stuff. I typically go with a multitool (allen keys, chain breaker, tire lever), and a hand pump. I certainly don’t need to carry a ratchet wrench for emergencies. Hell, I don’t even have one in my bike shed.
I keep losing my sunglasses. Every multi-day trip, I lose my sunglasses. It’s mostly because they’re hanging on the feed bag and they shake loose on a bumpy descent, but last time I lost them because I was racing an ultra and forgot about them while packing up my sleep kit in a hurry so I could catch a group of riders.
S dostatečnou mentální gymnastikou se dá hodně, třeba i “prokázat” to, že antifa je fašistická organizace. Konzervativci v USA se o to pokoušeli.
Personally, I abandon all hygiene for as long as I can stay outside, though I still use antibacterial cream on my butt to avoid infections. I do like to sleep in a guesthouse with a shower once in a couple days to at least wash myself. If I’m not racing, I also like to take the time to wash and dry my cycling kit. I just wash my kit in the shower, then use the towels they give you to dry it.
I run 35mm slicks, all-season continental GP5000s to be exact. I like them for these kinda rides.
I assemble airplane engines in a factory but from what I've seen, the last people to touch the plane are all highly educated experts that do their work correctly. There are countless checks and failsafe measures in place to make aviation the safest mode of transport. It wouldn't be profitable if people were afraid to fly. The numbers really do speak for themselves, though.
Because the car industry made it that way. It's now completely normal for people in developed countries to drive anywhere further than like 1km, spend up to an hour per day in traffic and hundreds or thousands of dollars per month on fuel/maintenance/insurance, all while polluting like crazy and enangering anyone outside of a car.
The car industry also successfully lobbies for expansion of roads and highways even though they know it won't fix traffic. They do it for the express purpose of shutting down funding for development of infastructure for alternative modes of transport.
Cars are now a cultural symbol of wealth, strength, freedom/independence and maturity. In most developed countries, most young adults' final step towards reaching adulthood is getting a car.
Even the poorest working class people in wealthy countries now need one simply to get to work, even though they can't really afford it. And if it came down to selling necessities to survive, most people in those countries would rather be homeless and live in their car than to sell their car.
Somebody coreect me if I'm wrong but this looks like a bunch of blackheads. My dog has these spots too, I never thought much of it as the vet would have informed me if it was something dangerous.
Ah yes, the speech-detecting accelerometer
Mám to do práce vzdušnou čarou zhruba 5km. Závodím na kole, takže nejlépe hned po práci ještě trénuju. Ty dny s pomalejším a delším tréninkem často dělám tak že do práce jedu na kole cca 20-25 minut, a po práci si cestou domů ještě zatrénuju tak že si cestu prodloužím dle potřeby. Ve dny kdy se nehodí trénovat vůbec, nebo třeba radši na trenažéru doma, jedu MHD i s chůzí cca 25-30 minut. Auto nevlastním.
Because the cardio fitness you get from a stationary bike doesn't transfer to other kinds of cardio very well. A stationary bike is good for hockey players because they use similiar muscle groups, but for example the treadmill is better for when you want to get better at running. Rowers who might not have the opportunity to go rowing outside as often as they should will use the rowing machine rather than not go rowing at all.
Where are you getting this from? I saw a post somewhere comparing the ground advancements/losses on both sides in the past 12 months, which showed that neither side made any remarkable progress.
I mean sure, but personally I'd pay extra for something with drop bars, more fender/tire clearance and disc brakes.
If you'll get it, expect to buy new tires. They might look new, but looks don't mean anything if they're 10 years old.
Přiznávám že jsem se o ní dozvěděl právě přes tuhle písničku, ale zrovna Ježíš mi přijde jako bezvýznamná recese, a skoro vůbec nereprezentuje zbytek její tvorby která se mi líbí o dost víc. Mimo tu lehkou kritiku organizovaného náboženství je celá písnička vlastně jen hodně sprostých slov zabalených do parodie na populární video "boží království vaří" s chytlavým refrénem.
Moc radši mám třeba Chleba s marmeládů nebo Romka, obojí je lyricky dost víc propracovaný, míň sprostý, a navíc u obou kombinuje různý jazyky a dialekty, což se v česku mimo pop a rap který kombinuje češtinu a angličtinu moc neslyší.
Isopropyl alcohol should work best, just don't get it in your eyes and know that it will dry your skin up. Vodka should have a similiar effect.
Tak já auto nemám, kolo je můj hlavní hobby a do práce se dostanu buď busem nebo na kole. Obojí kupodivu trvá zhruba stejně, takže si někdy i v lednu/únoru do práce zajedu na kole. Právě na základě týhle zkušenosti si myslím že to s funkčníma cestama a dostatečným vybavením může pro zdravého člověka být výhodnější než auto, a ani nemusí být fanatik nebo ve finanční krizi. Každopádně je dobré mít alternativu, kterou by bez auta OP asi neměla.
K tvým frustracím bych se rád zeptal, byl jsi správně vybavený na tu zimu a tmu? Právě správný výběr vybavení je podle mě asi druhá nejdůležitější věc hned po kvalitě cest.
Všichni jednou umřeme, nikdo neví co bude potom, nikdo neví kdy se to stane, a tak vidím jediné východisko: Užít si život co nejvíc bez toho abych to kazil někomu jinému. Až to jednou skončí, třeba dostanu odpověď na tyhle otázky, ale třeba taky ne.
In winter, these streets belong to that weird gray slush, a mix of snow, water and road dust.
No tak mimo to že na tebe budou lidi civět je ježdění na kole v zimě stále možnost. Zimní pláště s hroty proti náledí fungují dobře a dají se sehnat pod 500kč za kus, jinak doporučuju celoobvodové blatníky a příslušně se obléknout. Na těch 10km to ještě se zdravým tělem v zimě jde, s předpokladem že trasa kterou pojedeš nepovede frekventovanou silnicí kde se z jinak relativně bezpečné krajnice stane odkladiště na sníh.
Since I ride in Europe, there’s always a bench, bus stop or something similar within ~1-2 hours of riding, plus I only really do bikepacking as part of a multi-day ultra race, so my sleep kit is very minimal. Last year I got along fine with an inflatable mat, tiny sleeping bag and a tarp. This year, I’m going to buy a down sleeping bag from Decathlon, and my Alpkit bivvy is on the way already.
Thoughts on using a lightweight hammock setup vs a lightweight tent?
