What i've been doing. Monday, June 08, 2009. A couple weeks into (what feels like) summer. I finally signed up for the San Francisco Marathon and although I only plan to run the half marathon, it'll be an accomplishment for me (I hate running just to run). I've been slacking a bit, but it's time to start using the Nike trainer and increase my distane and speed on Nike. Seattle to Portland) or RSVP. Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and PARTY! We rode from San Francisco to Google. The Kansas City Royals are ...

On Bicycles, and. what else is there? Thursday, January 29, 2015. San Bruno Hillclimb: pace comparison 2014 vs 2015. Follow-up to San Bruno Hillclimb report:. To match times at distance, I interpolated times onto 20 meter intervals for each year's data. Since the course is close to 6 km (5.96 km here), this yields close to 300 points for the full course. So then at each distance I can calculate the difference in times: the 2015 advantage, which I plot, is the 2014 time minus the 2015 time. Not much. ...

On Bicycles, and. what else is there? Monday, February 23, 2015. Tour magazine light bike test March 2015. And I wasn't disappointed. Edition 2015.03 of Tour had a quantitative review of 3 of the lightest frames you can buy:. Cervelo RCA: with the exception of its relatively short reach geometry, the Cervelo RCA may be the epitomy of frame design. In addition to being spectacularly light, it's also fairly aerodynamic, and continues the Cervelo tradition of pencil-thin seat stays for vertical complian...

On Bicycles, and. what else is there? Thursday, April 30, 2015. Public roads: payed for by cars? Yesterday I read Dan Wuori's article on VeloNews. A partial response to Mike Rosen's opinion. In the Denver Post:. Bicyclists take backseat to vehicles. But it simply doesn't matter. It's all a red herring. Because we don't allocate space on public roads on a fee-for-access basis. Even defending yourself against that argument is a slippery slope. Yes - 13 cents from that red Tesla. going once, going twice...

Here's some climbs I've done the past few weeks in Switzerland and France, having been in Basil in part for work. The profile and smoothed grade are here:. The climb as shown in tje profile gains 292 meters over 5.45 km, an average grade of 5.3%. Here's the profile to the summit sign:. The next climb I just call "Hauptstrasse - Weissenstein" since I don't know it's proper name. The Strava segment ...

On Bicycles, and. what else is there? Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Low-Key hits the dirt, part 4: Marin Headlands. Love-hate: my relationship with a mountain bike and Low-Key Hillclimbs. So to spice things up, we needed to add something more truly different. In 1998, a flat time trial was on the series. I don't take credit for this one: it was a year I was relatively uninvolved. But the route, Willow Springs, was rained out. So it never got used. My contribution was the dirt. Dirt adds an entirely dif...

converbike: February 2010

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. A little worried about this guy. I truly hope he gets some good counsel and doesn't do something tragically stupid in the next few days. Fat tires and float. I'm having a lot of fun trying the Urbana Bike. Bicycle. I hope to have an initial review on Commute By Bike. In the next day or two. As you can see, the blue waters of Monterey Bay look very inviting. Furthermore, the tire "floats" over the sand just fine. I didn't photograph myself on the dry, less compact san...The b...
