Comment on Power Drain by Matthew Bail

I think power data is great and valuable, and can help with training especially to get a good idea initially of what is happening with one’s fitness and progress. That said, I know riders who get focused on the numbers to a fault. Your power meter can’t tell you that your numbers are down because you are catching a cold or that you didn’t drink enough at the beginning of the race and therefore died at the end.

I suspect that after a few years of competitive type riding most recreational racers get a pretty good idea of how perceived effort in training translates to what happens on race day and can then ride without their power meter. Elite Cat 1, 2 types who need to be super detailed on all their training, rest, diet etc. would probably be an exception.

Dog owners are the absolute worst in my experience.

Mothers with strollers. Even worse, mothers with strollers walking club. Talk about monopolizing pathways……..

I line them up with my mini roo bar or start yelling at the them in my heavy Aussie accent and they dive into the bushed scare shitless… Totally agree with you, I have cleaned up riders, runners and the odd dog on a leash, everybody needs to get aware…

Good call on getting along.

I find that older people are really grateful for the heads up on being passed and will wave or actually say thank you. Quite rare outside that demographic.

Yeah, I’ve been pretty lucky with dogs, but I would imagine the potential trouble… Way more unpredictable and way faster than a runner.

I guess what mainly frustrates me is that everybody just seems to have such a sense of entitlement wherever they are… Runners, dog walkers, couples, rollerbladers, cyclists, whoever… It seems they all think the paths are made just for them. Why can’t we all just get along ;-)

I’m fine with joggers for the most part. My biggest beef lately on the paths is people with dogs (leashed and not) that are clueless about their surroundings.

The last thing I want to do is hit a dog, or have a dog take me out.

On the paths (and roads) cyclists are the enemy.

Comment on Cycling ‘Threads’ by January Penird

Cycling is widely regarded as a very effective and efficient mode of transportation[5] optimal for short to moderate distances. Bicycles provide numerous benefits by comparison with motor vehicles, including the sustained physical exercise necessarily involved in cycling, that cycling involves a reduced consumption of fossil fuels, less air or noise pollution, much reduced traffic congestion, easier parking, greater maneuverability, and access to both roads and paths.^:

That was Sheldon’s main complaint as well. I shall try to do a better job of highlighting my posterior in future posts ;-)
