The wrappers thing really grinds my gears. On one of my rides, I was hanging behind a guy eating a bar when he suddenly just throws the wrapper away. On a beautiful spotlessly clean path along the water with nature all around. I confronted him about it but he couldn't care less. Any time I think about it my heart starts racing because it just made me so angry.

I love that Chris is pointing out waste problems in this video. Like he has shown, there are often similar options that are less wasteful but just as practical. As a personal recommendation: there are actually reuseable foil blankets that have thicker material and are thus easier to refold and reuse. They are not much heavier or larger, just a little bit more expensive.

IMO, the further you go, the more you need to be self-sufficient - and that applies for both further as in distance travelled over the trip's length, as well as further as in further the trip is from home. At home, I generally ride with minimal spares. 1 spare tube, 1 patch kit, 1 set of brake pads (Just because they're tiny for discs so might as well), a set of tyre levers and my frame pump. It's enough to get me out of even a fairly bad day on the bike for punctures. Anything I can't repair, I can fairly easily source a lift home and get down the bike shop at my convenience. When I'm bikepacking that list increases quite a lot. Add a multi-tool, allen keys, a spare gear cable, a chain breaker, spare chain links, a pair of mini pliers, another extra inner tube, a tyre patch kit, and a dozen or so assorted screws/bolts/other fasteners that are on my bike. That's because out bikepacking, I'm less likely to be close enough to home to get a lift, and more likely to need to ride for hours if not days more to get to the end of the ride (and presumably either home, or a train/flight/ferry/whatever home). If I was to ride an ultra, or be bike packing as far away as Malaysia (being from the UK myself) where there's potentially issues with sourcing spares and such too, then I'd bring even more extras. Things like a spare spoke or too, a spare tyre, spare cleats, etc. The really unlikely things to need, but you're absolutely knackered if you ever find yourself needing them!

Like many of us, I started road cycling with SPD pedals and shoes and dumped them after just one season for the real thing ... in road context, it don't like them because I feel the shoe choice for 3-bolt is much better, and in the end we want our fancy shoes - but: coming back from my first gravel rides with SPD pedals (and reusing my 2010s Mavic MTB shoes for it), even after years of using road pedals, they are so much easier to get in - and it leaves the option for hybrid SPD/flat pedals if you want to build something like a week commuter/weekend gravel bike.

I also came into road cycling (via MTB'ing) using only SPD's, mainly because all my shoes were SPD shoes. I agree that 15 years ago the choice of 'road shoes' for 3-bolt was so much better than 2-bolt (so I too changed to SPD-SLs on my road bikes) but I think these days the market has changed, and maybe we have 'gravel bikes' to thank for this? I got a bargain pair of Shimano RX8 SPD shoes in a Black Friday sale. They are as light and stiff as my best road shoes, but SPDs . I'm not saying that I'd change back all my SPD-SL shoes and pedals to SPD, but there is definitely more choice out there these days.

Garmin optical heart rate monitors aren't very accurate, and therefore it isn't a valid reliable metric you can use. That is basically how data workers, worse at some point means not fit for purpose, and on an ultra race if you are actually measuring your performance/recovery by heart rate, this will significantly compromise that over a heart rate strap. This said newer Apple Watches and Huawei Watches have seen to have very comparible results to heart rate straps. What you have really said is you don't rely on Heart Rate data very much for your application, and that is fine.
@tyrgoossens4 ай бұрын
There's a great channel called The Quantified Scientist that does tests of smart devices to see how accurate they are. The sense I get is that devices that struggle mostly have difficulty recognising drops/spikes in heartrate. While that's an issue if you're doing interval training that's likely less of an issue when doing long rides. Personally I've compromised and gone with a Polar Verity, which is an arm strap, rather than a chest strap.

But that depends on which Watch you are using, since Garmin uses a lot of different sensors for different market groups.

I have slightly wider than standard to fit my handlebar bag , I ride 30 km to work every weekday on a trail that parallels the freeway no filtering required, if you are filtering traffic and bars are too wide you chose the wrong bike.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but its no good complaining about climate change while you're jetting about the world for cycle events.
