Yup, being a cyclist in the UK is definitely good for being good at your 1.6 times table! (or 1.60934x table…)
I have my Garmin set to show distance in miles but elevation in metres

When I see 39 new comments in the meme thread only to find out it’s just arguing about measurement systems.

Not sure how spinach came into this, but I am pretty sure the miscalculation is why Popeye was given spinach to eat.

Bro is eating Popeyes! Chick-Fil-A all the way! New tangent, ready, set, go!
Apollo used both! (Sorta)
Obviously they use metric. But first learning Imperial is like a secret advantage. If you’re used to 16oz/lb or 5280ft/mile or whatever, base 10 everything is like math/physics on easy mode.

I use Imperial System, but i recognize the International System is far superior. Everything can be easily divided and its great…

Yeah I’m perfectly comfortable with either. The only thing that REALLY messes me up is the UK, where you’ll hear something like, “I’m 180cm and 12 stone.”

Have you tried micrograms of dopamine not released?
Much better than firkins of piety, I think you’ll find.

On my 640 furlong ride today, I was wondering why Zwift favors the metric system for experience, when I realized that my HR had spiked above 0.0233333 bpjiffy and I needed to settle myself back down to below 0.27hp or my entire ride would be ruined.

Having a somewhat nautical background, I prefer to measure distances in fathoms. It also helps that I am 1 fathom tall.
1 mile = 880 fathoms
1 kilometer = 546.807 fathoms
1 nautical mile = 1012.69 fathoms

Interesting! I’m slightly taller than you at 217 barleycorns. True fact.

One fathom deep, I think you will find.
It might catch on if all your rides are vertical descents i suppose…?

The fathom unit of measurement is useful for trenching. 
Not so much for everesting.
