• Sedentary rut

  I have a bike installed on a trainer that lives in my living room. I ride 5-6 miles a day in the evening on https://us.zwift.com/. Source: 10 months ago

• Do you consider a game finished if you haven’t earned all the trophies?

  Channel your obsessive tendencies and get yourself a zwift setup. Source: 12 months ago

• After 2 stolen bikes, I decided to go all out for the last attempt and damn this feels good

  Send those rollers back and get a Zwift Hub. Race others online. https://us.zwift.com. Source: 12 months ago

• not getting faster/fitter climbing no matter what I do.

  I'm also a 45 yo. Dude who's spent a lot off time off the bike due to injury or illness. I don't race and I'd say I'm more competitive with myself than others. That hasn't stopped me from chasing real numbers / fitness on the bike. I'm still not particularly fast, but I'm at least as fit / fast as I was in my 20's when I was racing. There is a lot of broscience about getting faster and what types of training make... Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: I hate gym. How to stay in shape?

  I've been cycling a lot for the last two years, I'm in good shape with a good cardio, I've also visited my region and discovered some beautiful places. If you prefer to be indoors I recommend Zwift [1]. [1] https://us.zwift.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• F’ck headwinds

  I’ve been using MyWindsock which handily adds a weather report including wind data, into my Strava activity reports so I k ow I’m not just being soft. That said having my power meter let me know my effort hasn’t dropped is handy as well. Source: 11 months ago

• I ride bikes. These are my bookmarked websites. (no affiliation)

  Mywindsock.com ( for weather forecast, wind direction) $. Source: 12 months ago

• Brompton pump dislodged mid-ride on a windy first 50k ride of the year

  Oh, somehting like that could be quite useful. Do you mean this one, myWindsock? Source: about 1 year ago

• Clockwise or counterclockwise?

  Mywindsock.com wind direction. And keeping steady huge climbs as early as possible when I am not depleted. Source: about 1 year ago

• A fun side project proposal: app that notifies you when wind conditions are right to crush your PRs and KOMs

  Mywindsock.com - once you get over the idea that it's about old men uploading photos of their reusable condoms, it's a useful site for planning rides, although a lot of the low level wind detail is estimated, i.e. In a 1 mile section through buildings or trees it's not going to pick up on all of the gusts and changes in wind direction you encounter in realtime.
