I have never been into heart rate training, I go by breathing and effort and don't look at the gadgets while exercising (maybe the speedometer once in a while). But I do get motivation out of seeing metrics improve over time. My resting heart rate goes down as I get in better shape, as well as...

Also, I have gotten some wacky tracking with my Garmin watch when running in areas with tall building or a lot of trees.

I thought phones used cell towers in addition to GPS when tracking location. Maybe you were in an area with poor cell coverage.

I have had an S25+ for over a year and it is a great phone. I looked at the Ultra when I got this one, but it was too big to comfortably fit in my pocket.

When I visited the Boson area for work it was like that. Our office was in Waltham and every local corrected me on how to say the name of the city. It's pronounced something like Walth'm or Walthum. If you say Walth am, they don't like it. And the locals can't pronounce the letter R. The say...

That sounds like chick lit. Vampire romance stories are a non-starter for me. Amazon used to have a checkbox to filter out romance stories in the fantasy section, but that disappeared a year or two ago when they redesigned the search interface. Unfortunately, those are the best sellers even in...

I just read that Chuck Norris passed away today at 86. RIP

A friend of mine brought back a big hunk of rock salt for me after touring a salt mine during a work trip to Poland. Maybe sea salt isn't a thing there.

We generally say "going to the beach" in Southern California. Northern California has a more rocky shoreline, so people say "going to the coast" sometimes. However, restaurants that serve fish are known as seafood restaurants throughout the state.

When Sebastian sang "Under the Sea" in The Little Mermaid, millions of kids were watching. If they didn't know the word before that movie came out in 1989, there is no doubt every kid in America did after that. When I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's, my Mom made me tuna salad sandwiches...

60 in San Jose. It's supposed to hit 92 this afternoon. I didn't even wear a jacket on my walk to work this morning.

I could find one or two. Infants don't usually have a large vocabulary.

I wasn't referring exclusively to Sur-rons. Most of them have the same general look: Non-adjustable motorcycle style seat, large battery, vestigial pedals with a large Q factor, full suspension, etc. With DIY bikes, it is possible to put the same power into a bicycle frame. But 99% of these...

Maybe a learning experience for them then. Or maybe not. Back when I learned to drive, my parents gave me an old car they had sitting in the driveway. A 1969 Chrysler Imperial. They made me get a job to pay for insurance, gas, and maintenance myself. A year later, something broke on the car...

You just need to know where to look. I look at the weather app on my phone. 😁 That said, I can see Stomp's point. High winds in the areas that I ride are not common, but they do happen and are miserable when they do. Even for running.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't see a Juiced ebike with a throttle that works to 28mph as the problem. And their deceptive marketing wasn't enough to keep them in business anyway. A Sur-ron or HappyRun with 6000W and a throttle is what the problem kids (not all kids) are...

It's not legal in California, but it is in other states. Legal in California seems to be a moving target these days anyway. You can't expect manufacturers to keep re-engineering their products to meet the constant flood of new ebike regulations.

To be fair, the problem kids are probably not riding around on modified Lectrics. They bought their emotorcycles already built. While it is possible to modify an Lectric ebike to be faster and more powerful, why wouldn't you start with a better donor bike if you are going to spend that kind of...

The comments on that video are interesting. There are still many people saying they wouldn't allow an ebike on a group ride because it would be "unfair". Unfair to whom?

And women look better with long hair, but no one will have the guts to create a meme for that.
