Want to help promote more school kids walking and riding to school?
The Conejo Coalition for Youth & Families – AFAIK the only TO agency to encompass the city, CRPD, and CVUSD – meets Tuesday to discuss how to support “Walk’n’Roll,” a citywide volunteer effort.
Public attendance and comments are welcome. We meet Tuesday at 10 am at CRPD headquarters, 403 W. Hillcrest Drive.
Welcome to #BikeNite, where we gather virtually and have an informal chat about #Bikes and #Bicycling. I am your guest host today. Play along by following the hashtag #BikeNite and answering any/all of the 8 questions. Each is designated with Q1, Q2, etc.. Reply to a Q, using A1, A2 etc. to clarify which question you are responding to. Add #BikeNite to each answer if you’d like to be more easily discovered. Then let the conversations with other participants flow!
Recently got a '14 Trek Domane and have been racking up the miles. I found a group nearby that does 50 mile rides most Saturday mornings and states 14-16mph. What speed should be able to maintain on my own to not get dropped?
For y'all who use #Strava (we don't), here's a heads-up we rec'd via #DuckDuckGo newsletter.
"Researchers found that... Strava's heatmap feature, which was introduced to 'anonymously aggregate users' outdoor activity (#running, #cycling, etc.) to help identify common trails and #exercise hotspots...[and]... provide a 'social' aspect to physical activity, can be 'de-anonymized' to identify people's home addresses... with a 37.5% accuracy rate."
TIL it's actually possible to have bicycle chain gears that aren't greasy or dirty, with wax-based lubricants. Since I don't enjoy doing maintenance it sounds like, reading random reviews, that maybe Smoove is the way to go, but if anyone on #BikeTooter has other suggestions I'd love to hear them.
New to road riding. Had some questions.
