Oh, for ridewithgps you need to tell it to update your elevation data from their maps: https://support.ridewithgps.com/hc/en-us/articles/4444266900763-Replace-Elevation#:~:text=Log%20into%20your%20account%20at,full%20ride%20will%20be%20replaced.

Nearly all GPS tracking applications do something similar. Actual altitude on the device is often incorrect, but the elevation profile is corrected when the activity is saved to the cloud. I suspect this is due to both limited storage and compute resources on edge devices and how maps are...

Everyone's different and what works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Some combination of dietary changes and exercise generally do the job, but what specific dietary changes and how much exercise depends a lot on you. Getting access to a nutritionist can be helpful. Keep in...

By "reef" I mean apply a lot of force, as when trying to tighten or loosen a bolt that is highly torqued (e.g. pedals, cranks, disk brake mounting bolts). I have my doubts that your arrangement will be practical for dealing with that.

Probably the only carbon capture scheme that might scale is to grow seaweeds far offshore, harvest them, and bury them somewhere. It is an open question if we can do that at a large enough scale to make a significant dent in CO2 levels. You are probably talking about billions of tons a year of...

Suspending a heavy bike from chains or ropes doesn't really solve the same problem a work stand solves. You won't be able to reef on cranks or pedals or brake rotors with a setup like that. Attaching a hoisted bike to a smaller bike stand sort of solves that problem, though.

Yes, I have a Big Agnes pad and it is working fine for me. I might switch over to this thinner and lighter Gossamer Gear pad but need to figure out how to pack it: https://www.gossamergear.com/collections/accessories/products/thinlight-foam-pad I'd recommend one of the little electric pumps...

Yeah, I generally like Arkel's stuff. North Street, Swift, and Oveja Negra also use recycled materials and (mostly) local production. I did a slight reconfigure over the summer which is working out well. I've switched to the North Street Adventure Micro Pannier for the right-side pannier, and...

Kind of depends on the tool. A lot of the cheap ones have a real short reach and are made of soft metal and bend badly when you reef on them. The Crank Brothers and Pedros tools are better made and usually have a longer reach. The Park Tool ones are also pretty good. Pet peeve: a lot of...

Pretty blue tools 1/2 : Pinion lockring tool: 2/2: this weird Park Tool TH-3 driver: As far as I can tell it is only really useful for bottle cage bolts.

Actually it depends a lot on the species of tree and its location and environment. Young western hemlock stands (on the western coasts of North America) have the highest land biomass production, on the order of 100 tons per acre per year. However, seaweeds (e.g. kelp) and saltwater algae can...

Part of the nature of riding a bicycle is that eventually you are going to greet the concrete. Hopefully when you will do fall you will do so in such a way that you can walk away with only bruises and some wounded pride. If you are freaked out about the idea of falling you will make the...

Cycling unpaved roads presents a pretty complex universe of surface types and difficulties and I do not think you can reduce it to some kind of 1-dimensional state. On the average, you'll probably work harder riding off pavement than on, and again on the average you'll probably want a lower...

Old Man Mountain sells rear (and front) racks that handle wider tires and even fat tires. Having seen both the OMM and Topeak Racks the OMM Racks are far higher quality and can carry much more weight. Especially if you can mount them on the axle.

Keep in mind that this rule in the end doesn't mean a lot because the vast majority (more than 90%) of land in National Parks is designated wilderness where no bicycles of any kind (electric or not) are allowed. Where this might matter is on roads closed to motor vehicles but open to bicycles...

Depends on how much money you'd like to spend. Honestly if you are just carrying the lock and a small bag of groceries a rack is total overkill. You could use a frame bag that fits your bike frame, although finding one that fits and has a decent amount of storage space is problematic, and...

Generally, no. But sometimes when I am confronted with a seriously long and dispiriting hill I'll use a bone-conducting headset and some tunes to make the long slow miles pass by. That's especially likely if there is little or no traffic.

Actually my worst experiences with creepy-crawlies were in a semi-glamping experience in India where the cooktent was spectacularly infested with spiders the size of the palms of my hands, and a cabin rental in Ecuador that had billions of ants living inside it.

Honestly spending $50 or $100 on a footprint is a vicious ripoff. If you think you actually need one you are better off cutting out a piece of Tyvek to size. Holes in a tent floor bluntly aren't a big deal. Unless you are total bonehead you will camp in a reasonably well-drained spot anyway...
