not sure i knew about pinion, thanks, sounds awesome: https://pinion.eu/en/bike_selection/idworx-opinion-blt/
thatās what i was thinking, when the snow melts and the cars blow up dust all over me. Most of the maintenance i do on my bike is cleaning the chain, because i have a gear hub, if cleaning the chain was made easy and no need to lube it, then life would be too easy
Very informative video. Thank you.
When I see that it can run even with that much mud is a selling point for me. I hate doing chain maintenance. ![]()
I closed my season with todayās trip.
With high humidity and a north wind of -2° Celsius, it is no longer very comfortable. And according to the forecast, there is no improvement, only it will be colder.
The discovery (for me) of the year ā oval chainring.
The update that didnāt have a wow effect ā Magene L508 radar.
The disappointment of the season ā build quality of the Shimano PD-ME 700 pedals.
The average length of the trip was 35 km.
And the general āgeographyā of my trips
Iāve already seen āitā on some YouTube channel ![]()
I have such a weak will. ![]()
After seeing all those revies and recommendations from my coworker I decided to buy a new bike with the belt drive.
So far so good
(except it will probably require change to handlebars some time in the future - it was sold as a city bike and they are too close to the seat for my taste).
Looks nice!
I tried a bike with a belt like that the other day and was tempted.
But Iām sentimentally attached to my 20-year old bike, and have not been able to decide to ditch it yet.

Time to put on winter tires. ![]()
No, I donāt like cycling in winter ![]()
Only by car. But itās not so easy to drive a car either - today they pulled me out of the snow, and a few kilometers later I pulled out another carā¦
Balance. Someone at the top is watching this

For me, winter is a traditional time for bike maintenance and preparation for the next season ![]()
In winter I use my bike only to get to work (only 4km) since the cycloroads are almost empty and car roads are very crouded.
I ordered this kind of tires. So I hope it will be still possible to ride in winter.
But now we have 50 cm of snow and expected -15ĖC in the morning so I doubt it would be possible for me to ride a bike. ![]()
The tires are not really designed to deep snow.
I do not know where you are from, but in the Moscow cycling crowd, these tires are quite common ![]()
There are regular thoughts about buying a cameraā¦
But I donāt want to spend money on another piece of hardware, which I will use very rarely ![]()
I got my GoPro from my son who needed a new one for his work. I have used it for quite a few bicycle rides. It was fun to be able to send my father-in-law the clips.
Main road bike in the basement for the winter. Installing rims,tires,cassette,and chain for next year. Reached my 15.000 mile goal for 2023 early.
