Tubular tyres may not be faster but are much nicer to ride than tubeless as well as lighter and safer.

It’s a matter of taste.

Partially thanks to him, I switched to Red etap (I was looking for any excuse to switch at that time, really for no good reason).
At any rate, I don’t own any electronic shifting bikes anymore and don’t have any plans for electronic in the future. In fact, I’m trying out single speed next year.

This seems to have popped off again, particularly in the NBA. It’s an unpopular opinion apparently, but the fact remains:
American’s, your national series (football, baseball, basketball, hockey, triathlon, gravel, whatever) are NOT a World Championship.

Wait. You’re telling me Arnold might not be the fittest man in the entire Universe?

That is a very popular opinion.
At least in EU

There is also no need to play the national anthem before every single event

Coming from an American I have to say I agree here. Always thought it was weird when whoever hands out the trophy says world champion of a league with teams from at most 2 countries.

Especially when a legitimate World Championship already exists in said sport.
The NHL Stanley cup winner = which American team has the most Canadians

I’ll give you some of those but no one else plays American football so you gotta give us that one. And in the Olympics America is basically a cheat code in basketball.

That’s mostly been true, but they still have to show up and beat those other nations.

The more I listen to FasCat (which isn’t much) the more I appreciate TrainerRoad.
~“This plan is for those who can only train 8-10 hours a week.”

As an LV type, that’s what I like about it.

I haven’t listened to fascat much but I’ve listened to plenty of other podcasts and 8-10 hours is often viewed as sort of the lower end.
I certainly get it for many where being fast is higher up on the priority list.
For me as I get older I for sure need more yoga/stretching and strength work to make sure my body can handle being on the bike. So I need to add at minimum a 2-3 hours of off bike work per week.
That’s okay. I just adjust my expectations as I only ride longer when I have big events.

Posting a thread or a reply with power in absolute value only, without weight, is misleading.
It will not help experts to give an appropriate support.
Also and mainly
I need to know if you do 350W at 70 or 90 kg
I need to know if I’m being envious for a good reason
