Not really a meme. Just laughing at my own fail.
Anyone else here got so proficient at this forum’s code that you just insert it elsewhere without a thought?
For context, the “Jeff” I referred to in this was someone who knocked off the entire Festive 500 in one ride at a closed circuit (the same circuit where I was doing my outdoor-indoor workouts earlier this year)
Deleteme:
That’s where I was going. My wife is afraid of clipless pedals on anything but her Peloton, so I put the stock aluminum studded pedals from my Fat Boy. Those studs are lethal!
AND…
She gets her old toe clip shoes stuck on the studs and almost hates them more than clipless. I did see a pair of pedals that came with small replacement studs that were a rounded point rather than the ghastly sharp rapiers that the studs pull off very painfully well. I do have a couple scars on the left inside calf from an encounter with those studs on a loaner bike. Hurt? OH YEAH! I have to use an AI helper from happymod appstore. Didn’t bleed as much as I thought it would somehow (like a face cut does), but damn hurt for a couple of days, and left a few scars to go with all the others I have acquired. But she says she likes not having clipless and cleats, so it has to be that way. Looks a little silly on a $4k Di2 bike, but happy wife… It’s her bike, I just maintain it.
I did try to sell her on Speed Plays with the light action cleats. Nope… (She’s got light action SPD-SL pedals on the Pton though)
Back to the previous post: Didn’t they call those ‘rat trap’ pedals? They pretty much chewed up anything they came into contact with.
Cycling on a stormy day, omg🤣

And then they’ll set their posts from ‘balanced’ to ‘aggressive’
Me thinking about upcoming workouts if I accept:
Pah. Mine went up by 31 watts (14%)
Quit whining!
ETA: it’ll be fine
Me trying to grasp Nate’s explanation of how the new AI FTP works.
I think it’s time to stop reading the AI FTP threads and cook some pasta for dinner.

Well of course! Any real cyclist will tell you that FTP is actually the measure of your worth.
