Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am scared of hypothermia, which I have had in the past and is just one mechanical away in this weather, and I took it as nature's of saying, "fake miles for you, old man."
I ordered some bibs from them, if I like them, going to grab their winter jacket. I like outside.

Should be gon ie in 20 minute or so. The first one freaked me right the f*** out, but everything I read on them says they're nothing to worry about. Just seems like a bad idea, driving at night while having one.

I’ve never heard of this, and hope I never experience this.

What happens is, the distortion grows for about 15 minutes, then disappears over the next 10. No pain, no headache, just the visual distortion.

Looks like this, only subtler.

You don’t spend your money on a 380 dollar jacket. You get someone else to spend their money on a 380 jacket.

I agree but now that I have one, if it ever needs to be replaced I will have to cough up the money.

That’s a classic migraine aura. Ocular migraine is a retinal thing, rare and potentially ugly.

For the whisky drinkers: I picked this up last week after seeing it at the LLS and reading favorable stuffs about it online. The favorable stuffs is right - not too shabby for ~$35 bucks. Supposedly made with cocktails in mind, but I find it more than acceptable neat, too.

Stuff in that really high-end space seems to be priced with an eventual 50% Off sale in mind, or so it seems to me. If not, well, I find it hard to imagine that there isn't something out there that'll do at least 98% as well for half as much.

Long cage derailleurs will exacerbate misalignment, for sure.

They are also are never happy backpedaling when in the largest few cogs, at least with 1x MTB systems.
