Strava works really well for estimating average speed.I don't know if anyone else has noticed,but google maps in my area has nerfed the bicycling speed. Used to calculate an average of just over 20kph (~22kph), now it thinks a bicyclist will average just under 15 kph. This is a 30% decrease in speed.
Conspiracy to keep people on transit and uber or are just more people biking now and it shows in their data? Oddly enough it told me 1:51 by bus and 1:59 by bike.
A few rides up and down the street. It’s shifting pretty well for a “broken bike”, but before I get to work on it, I’m waiting for the Rapid fire trigger shifter to arrive, and may just replace the derailleur all together.@Metasynth did you get the new bike out for some test rides yet?
Yeah I got it patched together enough, but I need a new bottom bracket. It's a fun little ride, only 5-10 miles depending on the route we take. Last night was one of the longer ones.We're you able to get it fixed before the ride? I was looking at a few fat bikes over the weekend. You got me thinking they look like a lot of fun. No big box stores had any stock I could only find ones for >$1,000 at the bike shops. I'll keep an eye on kijiji and craigslist for something used.
Fixed?Any single speeder's out there?
Nope, I like what's left of my knees and back to much.Fixed?
Fuck Strava.Strava works really well for estimating average speed.
Nothing but another corporate company stealing information from others to make a profit.Fuck Strava.
And while we're fucking, Rapha too!Nothing but another corporate company stealing information from others to make a profit.
Yeah but they aren't paying for your data eitherI dunno, I've found some cool trails with biking apps, and I never gave them any money. Hell, I'm reluctant to even give up my email address, and I have over 33k unread emails...lol
Yeah, but I’m not as anti-establishment as some people. They sell my data, I get access to a free app updated regularly by thousands of actual riders around the world. I see it as a trade off of sorts.Yeah but they aren't paying for your data either
Which you now have to pay for to see everything that use to be free.Yeah, but I’m not as anti-establishment as some people. They sell my data, I get access to a free app updated regularly by thousands of actual riders around the world. I see it as a trade off of sorts.
