whereas I'm glad the heat is gone and I'm hoping for some snow to ride in over the winter 🙂

Yes, this is the middle season. Hopefully our local ski hill has negotiated a fixed electricity price for the winter, if they’re on spot-pricing, I doubt they can afford creating snow/running the lifts 😕

As for the heat, it also means the cold season for windsurfing.

Looking forward to getting out on my fat bike in my beautiful Canadian winter!

ooh, what do you have @UE21H2HHD?

I have a Salsa Blackborow, https://www.salsacycles.com/bikes/2015_blackborow_1. Lotsa fun!

nice

I've got a Surly Pugsely https://photos.app.goo.gl/PZmJJwBB1j2qQnVU7

all beaches and bogs here

Nice! Here’s my beast in the wild

tubeless and 3-4 psi to float over that?

Haven’t gone tubeless yet. 5-8 psi-ish, I think. Not all snow is floaty. Sometimes it doesn’t work out when there is lots of fluffiness. But always worth a try!

I do more sand/beach than snow. I've got 10k of beach on my doorstep and another 10-12k just over the river. And lots of bogs/jeep trails at the British Army firing range/training ground

@UE21H2HHD are you on strava/komoot/similar?

I’ve got a Garmin, so I might be on something. Have ridden tons, but have not ridden in a while due to a dumb uncooperative back. Hopefully this winter! 🤞

ya glad the heat is “half-gone” here as well

I haven’t seen a “fat bike” nor “biking on the snow” (! )

We have both a https://www.bikester.no/tacx-galaxia-innendors-trener-M256514.html?utm_cust_cb=CBB&_cid=21_1_-1_9_13_291869__pla&campaign_detail=smart_shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwpv7zI_V-gIVqgZ7Ch2Y7wT5EAQYASABEgKSCPD_BwE and a thing like https://www.bikester.no/tacx-boost-innendors-trener-M952041.html?cgid=36908 . I very much prefer the roller over the other because there is more skill involved and it feels more like cycling. The other contraption feels like a stationary bike. I think that it’s easier to get a better workout from the other contraption as you can add more resistance, but I’d never do that because I hate the feeling on it. 30-45 minutes on a roller gets your heart going and improves your balance and bike handling. I believe it should be possible to use for normal people, but might be worth it starting close to a wall :)

Thanks for the tips. I'll send pics from the hospital otherwise 😛

I have an old tacx too. It was pretty cool, but since I got a fat bike I don't use it anymore.

I got a Wahoo last year. solid investment. although I ended up using the 'spinning' bike from my local gym more often. it just feels so smooth. and you can adjust it to pedal in a stood-up position which is good for the back/hips :)

I somebody knows about an indoor inline skating solution please let me know 😛

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll have a look.

I can imagine my friend using some kind of equipments like the above to exercise while working on an office desk with computer… not sure if it is healthy, unhealthy, or just plain weird

Well, watching a office workshop conference video could be a use case 🙂

René was the photographer ;)

and did you have a stage name?

You should put that stuff up on Spotify! It's awesome stuff! Is the band still active?

I left the band in 2008 and they disbanded a while after that

Let's have that as some of the break music at #dcd22

@borkdude wow you are versatile! Arts can sometimes bring out a new/hidden facet of a person 👍
