“person” would have been the apprpriate word.
I think, this picture might be a selfie.

Indeed… I was about to say something similar. Some may have missed this

Yeah it’s a selfie. It was sunny but under 8° C and windy most of the day. Breaks were mostly done while shivering.

A light hearted reference to the 1950s American TV show The Lone Ranger with no malice intended .

The first real ride with my new 4’ I built from scrap. My welding execution is questionable to say the least but the design is proven functional. It’s currently geared 32:20 which effectively equals a 32” in speed. I’d like to get a double sided fixed wheel built for it so I can use it as a two speed. I was able to free mount this easily, ride it on light off-road, through dips, up and down slopes, off curbs etc. which are all firsts for me on a giraffe.
Oh, and even better… it fits within the limits for standard checked luggage on an airplane. I may not bother trying to fly a 32 or 36 to Unicon this year.

first chance I’ve had to get back to the trails after all the rain we have had.

What is that handle set up?

that started out as part of an aero bar, I used a press and flattened most of the angle and then squeezed it in to make it narrow, then custom built a mount plate and welded it directly to the seat post. it clamps on just like bearing clamps on a hub so it can be removed easily. I can flip it over so the handle faces upward but I don’t really like it facing up

We had almost (12mph wind) perfect weather for a distance ride this past weekend.

It was -3 overnight, it was a 40kmh tailwind with enough rain to be cold on the 40km ride out, but it was time for the first unipacking trip of the year. 80km round trip in advance of a 200km trip in two weeks, feeling more prepared with that one, but need to get a lot more rides in after work.
The night was noisy with the serrenade of many Canadian Geese (or attack chickens as we call them locally), the morning back home was sunny and a lovely test of a 32C tire on 75mm cranks. Pressure it down enough and it handles very well.
The spot was just outside of the city so 6:30 am Starbucks made a lovely way to start the day.

I’m back in Greyton for a couple of days, and it’s great to be riding around the village.
The Greyton sign at the start and end of my ride
It was quite shocking to see the damage done by the recent storms, here the bridge has been washed away

Back home riding along the beach front promenade again, and it’s good to be back on familiar terrain.

Spring is here…
And I’ve decided to commit to learning to ride the Schlumpf. I almost gave up last year where I only managed a total of 10 rides since I got it assembled back in April. It was just too scary riding in high gear and I only managed to ride ~1/3 of the time in high gear.
 
So far I’ve recorded four ~10km rides in the last three weeks so it’s promising. And I feel much more in control this time. I’m also able to upshift and ride high gear almost everywhere except for the short sections where I’m sharing the road with cars as that still feels unsafe. The first three rides was with a lot of (new) body armor (knees + elbow pads) because I believed it was needed for me to overcome the fear factor but on the last ride I was back to helmet and gloves and it (still) feels safe (and less hot!).
I also changed the handlebar so it’s exactly as on my regular fixed uni. The only substantial difference to my fixed uni (except for the gear) is the pedals where I’m using some non-spiky pedals which makes gear shifting much easier and I feel grip is still sufficient for dry road riding.
Next step is to build up more confidence and practice to downshift while riding (instead of stopping as I do now) to get the same nice flow as I have on my fixed unis.

downshift to me is more tricky than up.
Feels like changing to “superslow” and therefore pedaling like a lunatic the first meters…

Hi,
I’ve been riding my KH36 with 110 cranks to work 3 days a week for the past 3 years.
“Odometer just over 6,500km”
Commute distance being from 14 to 20km.
Total ascent being about 160m.
For the first year I was averaging 12.5km/hr. As I got more efficient I was happy to get 13km/hr.
Now I’m very happy to read 15km/hr on the Wahoo. On the long flat sections I’m cruising at 18km/hr and if I concentrate on consistent circular peddling I can cruise at 20 - 22km/hr.
I went to a rowing centre once and was riding on the 1km long straight along the course and was riding back and forth and averaging 22km/hr.
See below data of my morning commute.
BTW, I have a KH29 with 110 cranks and I would never think of commuting to work on that.
I feel the 36" wheel just provides a nice rotational momentum which makes riding seem more effortless compared to the 29" wheel.

Had a meeting at my daughter’s school. Rode a uni in. I will definitely walk my bike next time I’m on her school campus.
When I left, several admin staff said they wanted to see me freemount and ride it. I gladly obliged.
