about Strava: not seeing the point, or only considering it a way to compare to pros is sort of missing the reason anyone has a fitness tracker in the first place. The quote you read out was pretty spot on, it's a way to see self-improvement and have a record of what you've done, something to look back on. Otherwise you're relying on gut-feel and guesswork, which is fine up to a point but sometimes you need that concrete feedback for motivation and setting some goals for yourself. it's OK for you to feel no need personally of tracking your fitness, and i think in a way that speaks to the privileged position you're in when it comes to cycling. In my position (with multiple jobs, a toddler, a small business and precious little time to ride a bike), having some structure can mean the difference between getting out the door to ride, or not. Sometimes the tracker, or a record of rides, can legitimise time spent, give you an excuse or a talking point with your significant other so that you're not just skulking off away from jobs or childcare for 'another ride' without any obvious purpose or goal. Not only that, but for myself, and many of my friends, sharing our rides (and photographs) into a group ride on Strava has been a great way to record memories of trips, allow family members to see how we're doing or the adventures we go on, and generally feel like a productive member of a shared experience. I don't know a single person with any kind of fitness tracker who sits with their random stats from a tuesday nightand compares themselves to an olympian or professional athlete.

[@pjcaps100]

Exactly I get very little time and I ride the same route a lot. I love being able to look back at certain segments to see how I did compared to other efforts and how it felt. Having all the miles and stats is awesome and I could care less comparing myself to others

[@joshuaperry8729]

You are absolutely right. These guys are bike snobs so obviously would look down on Strava.

[@JustSueMe]

Real talk, if I didn’t have Strava, I probably would’ve gotten bored with cycling and moved on to another hobby by now.

[@tonyjofenig6833]

Aren't there cycling computers that offer the exact same features? I am being honest here, I don't really know. I don't ride much road anymore (less than 10 rides a year), mostly MTB (probably 130 plus days a year), but 20 year ago I had a German computer (can't remember the name, but I think they sponsored the Phonak team) that had a heart rate monitor and tried to calculate watts, using wheel size, grade, distance, and speed. One day when I was on a training ride for a Grand Fondo event in my area, the computer flew off my handlebar into the middle of a 4 lane highway. I never replaced it, rode the Fondo the next weekend and still to this day, ride all of my bikes (road and mountain) with no computers, heart monitors, or apps. I guess I just love the idea of cycling in the traditional sense. The beauty is, you can just get on your bike and go for a ride, it doesn't matter if you have 30 minutes, or all day, you can just throw your leg over the saddle and go for a rip. I love the freedom in that, there is no competition, just time in the saddle. And that is enough for me.

[@pwalski]

I subscribed Strava because of a route planner combined with a global heat map (important for gravel because it is sometimes hard to tell if given path is viable). Nowadays Ride with GPS has the same feature, and Komoot allows to keep rides history together with photos. Komoot also has typical social media features. Wahoo saved my rides history to all services so I could easily drop Strava and keep everything the same for free. Probably I will not do it, but if I were to start cycling and I needed to have all above features I would choose free alternatives.

[@TheFriendofnight]

I love strava for the ui and storage of my old rides and photos. Sometimes just seeing what your previous fitness was like is enough to motivate you. I also love the yearly recap.

[@chriswood4340]

Cheers for reading out my question, will give the roll method a try!

[@Projectioncloud]

Wild ones released in the middle of my 5 day influenza streak is such a comfort

[@shepshape2585]

Small groups of friends is the best kind of riding, but large group rides with certain people having to go all out trying to drop people just to show off is the worst. Solo rides are great as well because it gives you a lot of time to think and just enjoy riding your bike the way you want.

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

The saying “ you get what you pay for “ doesn’t apply to bikes massively inflated prices that all the gear no idea mob fall for. The industry deserves the state it’s in

[@BozLeeds]

We live in leeds and many of the strava sections have either a brownlee or pidcock on them it was comically funny how big the difference between me and Pidcock was on one. He did it in 20 something minutes and i was well over an hour and nearly dead. Still found it useful to compare my performance from previous rides over same distances.

[@bergerniklas6647]

yep, I live in a place with WT riders and a conti team. No chance on KOMs for me. Sometimes the tour de suisse passes through, so even less of a chance on some climbs...

Rice crispy squares/bars are legit. I've been using them for years. I struggle with the mouthfuls of really tough stuff, getting it down while bouncing all over the shop or breathing heavily is a struggle. They pack in enough calories and sugar but are really easy to eat in chunks if you need to put it away for a moment to navigate a technical section.

[@ebikescrapper3925]

[@MandyH1972]

I love Strava. I find it so useful, I run and cycle and am on a weight loss journey (50+lbs down so far) and being able to see progress over time and view how one workout compares to another during training for an event is invaluable to me. I used to chance QoMs before I had a pretty long break from any kind of sport and seeing my thirty something QoMs gradually be taken was gutting but while I was going all out to win them it was an incredible motivation to push myself. I love being able to look at data post run or ride and find it genuinely useful and an aid to improving my performance.

[@litespud]

I love my GPS, but back in the day I would head out into the countryside armed with my Ordinance Survey map. Once you had an OS map of an area, you’d never get lost

[@jon6346]

My first tour, a long time ago, was Melbourne to Darwin (about 5k km) and I took every 1 : 100k army survey map of the trip. Weighed several kg, but they are now an amazing souvenir.

[@GaryMann-ld8cg]

so glad I am not the only map geek :) great podcast as always

[@TRCsf]

Good stuff! I love Strava, to me the best app for cyclists who actually ride outdoors. I never compare my times (cycling or running) to pros but use it to benchmark my own performance and to set goals. Also good for route planning and following and encouraging your cycling and running friends. Admittedly in live in California so have no need for indoor cycling apps (and also didn’t in 20+ years in NYC). Anyway love the podcast!

[@fredsirvalo1904]

[@averyhillroad235]

The circumstances around the Muriel Fuhrer crash has echos of a crash many decades ago involving a British cyclist (Tim Harris?). I believe he was in the lead group on a stage of the Vuelta, when he crashed down a woodec ravine. He remained there several hours, only after the finish did the team and organizers realize he was missing!!

[@paulhills1816]

Cheers guys. Your podcast has become to me, what Google Maps is to Francis! 🤙🏼

[@cuebj]

Poncho! Back in the day, we had rain capes - the very best had a well fitting hood so you could look back without too much difficulty. Some even had loops you could put your thumbs in, but they pulled out and tore the main fabric. Clumsy for riding in traffic in town, especially for signalling with arms out. Good advice about folding and rolling shirts. On cycling 20 to 40 miles each way to a meeting, rather than daily commutes, I still have an Altura suitcase that I clipped onto my Topeak rack. Not seen it for sale in many years. You can take a suit, shirt, tie, shoes, washbag and, after shower or wash in gents at destination, emerge as smartest guy in the room. Used it for years for monthly meetings in different parts of London, usually in council head offices but also in Teddington having left home in East Ham. I also have a briefcase that takes laptop and all the papers needed for a meeting. Wonder if anyone still makes and sells such stuff. It worked best with my old first generation Tricross. Not so well with sharper angled fast riding bikes. In my last workspace, we had a very good drying room and cages. Lock clothes in cage, dry at end of day.

[@jon6346]

My cape's loops didn't pull out, and as a giant fluro orange blob I always felt very safe

I bike commute everyday as well and used to use ponchos for rainy days. It provides adequate water protection but it can act as a parachute when it’s windy. I switched over to a lightweight rain jacket and waterproof lowers. It offers better waterproofing and you can move better when cycling in the rain.

[@lukesanders768]

Same here, pricey but the best brand I've had so far. Actually I got a second pair (different model) when they were on discount

[@astronomenov99]

I had some Oakleys break a hinge. They were varifocal prescription ones and VERY expensive. I sent off some photos of the damage and also complained about that they scratched too easily being badly scratched after only 18 months. They sent me a new pair including new lenses within a week!

[@RicardoRocha-lg1xo]

My experience with Oakley has been mixed. The frames last a VERY long time, but the lenses, despite their optical clarity, tend to get scratched very easily and the mirrored coating simply starts falling off on its own after maybe a couple of years. At least replacement lenses are widely available

[@astronomenov99]

@@RicardoRocha-lg1xo I dunno. I've always been happy with Oakley sunnies from 90s and after. Although I tended to re-sell them after about 18 months for almost the same price as new! Until the fakes ruined that market.

[@pwalski]

Their design could be better too. Sutro's temple tips when folded scratch corners of the lens.

[@RicardoRocha-lg1xo]

I somewhat agree with Francis on the Brooks Cambium. I like it so much that when broke mine after several years of use I bought the exact same model as a replacement. But its a literal PITA if you’re wearing non-cycling shorts/trousers.

[@jamesbell5977]

Re. waterproof trousers - as an all-year round bike commuter (~8 miles each way, mix of country lanes, paths and residential streets) I've used waterproof trousers (the baggy, properly waterproof ones that you sweat in) and while they do keep your legs dry, I find they tend to ride up my leg when pedalling, leaving the top of my shoe covers exposed and causing my feet to get soaked. The alternative of wearing tights that cause your legs to get wet I don't mind so much for a single journey, but putting the same wet tights on at the end of the day for the homeward journey is horrible. I have soft shell and hard shell jackets for light/heavier rain year-round, and only wear the waterproof trousers for those winter morning commutes when it's absolutely bucketing it down outside.

[@CrazyAboutCycling]

I bought a pair of covers from decathlon, they cover my shoes, keeping me dry. Not too sweaty at all. It’s like a one piece with reflection built in. There’s no perfect and dry vs air is non existent.

[@spencercanning]

Listened to Ghost In The Machine after you guys mentioned it in the podcast. Thanks as it was an interesting listen. Think you guys should definitely do a motor doping piece as you would put your own unique slant on the subject. Always an entertaining hour and great banter from the three of you. Five Stars! With you guys who needs GCN........

[@kareltempelaere3027]

I really like certain platforms that connect to strava like statshunters showing you where you have been and what monuments/velodromes/climbs/statues you collected (or the platform I use for brevets has some challenges to collect breweries/castles) which kinda feels like a game but with real life cycling and exploring

[@ChainringTattoo]

As an ancient cyclist who has toured many tens of thousands of miles without a GPS, I can tell you it is indeed possible. While I would not leave home without a GPS today, in some ways it was better. You spend a lot less time staring at your handlebars and more time desperately looking for the next road sign.

[@alanrides]

I can't recommend proper rain wear enough. Quality rain wear has vents for breathability to minimize the trapping of sweat. The first day of my ride across America began in a winter rainstorm. I had waterproof rain pants over my bib shorts, a rain jacket in hi- vis yellow, and remained dry for 150 miles. To keep my feet dry, I placed heavy-duty plastic grocery bags over my cleats and then zipped winter shoe covers over them. I cut a small hole 8n the bottom of the bags so my cleats could engage the pedals. My feet remained dry all day.

[@MattBlind]

Oh man, I would love to hear some commuter tips or stories from Jimmy. Should be very fun.

[@mitmon_8538]

I actually think "Love/Hate/Tolerate" is a great name for that game. Aside from it sounding good as a title, you don't have to keep the caveat that it's just a game since hating something isn't the same a killing something off, but still conveys the notion. On the topic of using a map to do rides, my buddies and I had a 2 week long bike vacation based out of Oxnard in California (West of LA) way back in '06. GPS wasn't a thing on bikes yet, and our goal was to do 80+ mile rides each day from the house we were staying in. The guy who organized it had a very detailed map book of that part of Cali and we traced out the routes we planned to take every day and made little notes of the main roads we needed to turn on and mileage estimates. We never got lost and it was a ton of fun. I need to ask that guy if he still has that map book with the routes we took. Would be a great ride down memory lane.

[@jpg6482]

I love skinsuits. When you find a good fit, you are not even feeling wearing it. Jerseys tend to crawl up. And i like the comfort you get from tubeless and latex inner tubes over the harsher ride on butyl tubes.

You can buy little electric boot dryers at many camping and ski supply shops. They're little fan-powered things you stuff down the inside of the shoe, and good ones will take a pair of shoes from soggy to mostly dry in about 3 hours. I have a pair from a company called DryGuy, and I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

But as I zipped into it I saw that it wasn't a driveway, it was a bloody parking bay - surrounded by high gutter. No time to brake.

On clothing: between day clothes and jersey and bibshorts, there is an option: workwear. While I wear jersey and bibshorts for rides over 30km and day clothes for the 20 minutes to daughter's to take granddaughter out for the morning, workwear is a very good general purpose solution. Good stuff from the usual outlets of Screwfix and Toolstation. Fantastic stuff from the likes of Englebert Strauss. Stretchy, skin tight or loose, pockets, smooth fit or flappy. Layers, breathable, high viz if desired. Even the very best workwear is cheaper than bike clothes. Designed for bending, working for hours, not flapping into machinery.

Speaking as 69-year old who has also done a lot of building work and used to play rugby as well as cycling... do not, ever, take such a crash lightly. The whiplash effect of that wheelie gone wrong is such that you don't need a noticeable banging impact to cause long term problems. At the very least visit an osteopath to get an assessment of alignment. Try to get referred for check-up scan, x-ray, or whatever. Once you hit 60s, the effects of trauma in youth hit hard... my wife had a rear end shunt at the A13 - North Circular roundabout, was hit by a runaway motorbike on a pedestrian crossing in Farringdon, fell down loft ladder, and was in a bad minibus crash in Thesalonika in her 20s. No breaks but plenty of deep traumata that now restrict her mobility in late 60s.

Don't underestimate a carbon finishing kit. Stem take it or leave it, I'd take it simply because it would be weird to stick an aluminium part inbetween a carbon steerer tube and a carbon handlebar, but carbon handlebars themselves and seatposts can make a difference not only weight wise but also in terms of compliance and comfort. Plus all the interesting innovations in terms of shapes, ergonomics and features arrive at carbon handlebars first and then only trickle down to aluminium later, if ever. And if you still question the use of a finishing kit, take note of how bikes with aluminium or titanium frames and carbon handlebars and seatposts get built and exist, but bikes with carbon frames and aluminium handlebars and seatposts don't. No one right in their mind would put an aluminium handlebar on a carbon bike. Wheels > finishing kit > frame, assuming your metal frame isn't complete shit.
