The Vuelta is coming up, and who will be riding it is still up in the air, but another race that runs in parallel with it is the Tour L'Avenir (Tour of the Future). It's usually 7 or 8 stages, mostly in France. Tadej won it in 2018, Del Toro in 2023, and Seixas in 2025. This is the biggest...

From those pictures, it looks fine to me, but the best way to check rear derailleur and hanger alignment is with the bike upright, with the rear derailleur in the center cog. Look at the derailleur and cassette from behind. These long cage rear derailleurs can have a bit of play in them. Don't...

How did you arrive at your answer? There's a difference between guessing and estimating. Estimating usually involves math, even rough, in your head math.

That's a curriculum issue. I remember quite a bit of my high school, and definitely college math being all about solving word problems. Our tests did have a lot of rote math, but the there were plenty of word problems that took a while to solve. There were multiple choice answers, where one was...

That looks like the perfect ride for the estimator. A great proof of concept. Looks like a fun ride, too. Did she use a range extender?

Is there a replacement?

Someone has to build and train/retrain the model. For engineering applications, I may be a luddite. I think this will take engineers, not coders.

We've got a Lapierre e-bike in for repair.

You are onto something here. I also see cultural influences as the main barrier in the growth of STEM in today's youth. Culture certainly plays a big part in the explosive growth of Asian students in STEM. It's not by coincidence. I don't think that you can make STEM "cool enough" to attract...

nice!

The conversation about riders sizing each other up in the final km and knowing when to go was the subject, and all I said that the women are no different from men in this regard. They both are skilled tacticians. They both know how to race, especially at this level. There is a somewhat...

What's the water temp right now? I don't see a lot of wetsuits. Out here, it's glorious, 78 degrees along the Nantucket Sound beaches. This bodes well for an extended summer this year.

The women are no different than the men in this regard.

She is now a marked woman. Chapeau.

Conditions look kinda flat, though.

Says the progressives that literally riot, burn down buildings, and kill people when they don't get what they want. Look in the mirror. I am happy to discuss this topic without politics. Stop dragging it down to that level. The core subject is relevant to the intent of this forum. We all should...

Sur-Rons and Super 73's take the heat, but there are an order of magnitude more "brands" out there that are equally fast, heavy, and under-braked that are just as dangerous when ridden irresponsibly. The lack of helmet use also seems to get the expected knee-jerk reaction, but a bicycle helmet...

Some riders believe that they need to be crushing the pedals as hard as possible for as long as possible in order to gain strength and get a good workout. They are partially right, but that's a very inefficient way to ride. It is difficult for a low cadence rider to increase cadence until they...

Remember what he said. If he can recycle his panels in his small town of under 1,000 people, everyone can. That is simply not true. I am 100% for an economically sustainable solar panel recycling infrastructure.

Thanks, that makes sense.
