New Year test ride

Friday, January 1st, 2010 | bike | No Comments

I decided to ride my bike today. It was snowing all night long, so it was perfect time to test my still not used winter tires with metal spikes.

Because of snow – fluff snow, I didn’t notice any difference to standard tires. The best control is during riding through frozen hard ice.

By the way I was not riding my treking bike by MTB – Radon ZR Team.

happy biker

X-mas this year where really really successful. My family had a huge problem with a present for me. After my bike was stolen  I decided my new one will not be used to ride to work. It will be only for bike marathons and any other competiotns. I was looking for some used bike from second hand to ride work.

There came my mather-in-law with an idea finally with my parents and wife with help of my cousin who sells bikes I received not used but brand new trekking bike. Enough to ride to work and is not fancy.

Good final of the story after my bike was stolen is that my employer prepared one garage place for closed bike cage. Hurrray. Because there is many coleagues that ride bike to work, it made happy many of us.

bike crankset

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008 | bike | No Comments

I like to ride bike anytime it is possible. This year I cannot participate in all marathons I would like to, so except occasional rides I only rides to work and back. More or less it is approximately 25 km a day. I am rather soft rider with average 30km/h on roads so I was supprised I lost one teeth in crankset. This is Shimano LX so it is not something hard or weak. Just inthe middle. First thought was how this can happen and second was how many I can loose to start feeling discomfort during cycling. Answer is crankset is not in perfect form so chain looks for the best one during gear change. Theory for second question is (without calculations) six single tooth with possibility to smooth gear changes. Let’s see :) )
