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

On the downside you can’t do both legs at once. Also, doesn’t look like you could do your back at all.

I am thankful I have no back issues. Keeping sane weight on the squats and deadlifts both strengthen, and keep me limber there. The more gadgets, the more time I devote to cycling. I need to be careful there. Should I go with this thing, the AirOFit, racing and training, as well as maintenance. It all adds up.

We have balls and such, but I'm not a big fan. Might have to look into it more.

my battery mower has a maximum noise level of 55 decibels. No protection needed.

Hence, "...ones that are minor and/or only hit a small percentage of patients will get lost in the noise...".

But also, post hoc does not imply propter hoc.

Lightheadedness isn't minor.

I get lightheaded from blood pressure drops at times. Both my doctor and I consider it minor. I can pretty much predict when it will happen.

Compared to the range of possible Adverse Events, it absolutely is.

I use Stihl earmuffs. They work fine. Of course I'm using them with Stihl machines. Perhaps they are programmed such

Yeah, there's a Centurion Ironman frame that would have fit me on Ebay for $100 plus shipping. But I know how much it costs to kit out a bike from a bare frame. I'd end up spending way, way more than I will end up spending on the one I bought. I really enjoyed building up the Battaglin from a bare frame, sourcing all the parts on the web, looking for the lowest prices, getting the build kit put together. But it wasn't cheap!

Not the same as something that's going on for days, and you don't know what's causing it.

That was my experience, too. For my retro build project, the only thing I didn't buy was the headset. Stem, bars, and crankset I bought twice. I should probably sell the first stuff, but I'm lazy. I think I ended up spending close to $1k for all my parts, decals, and bits.
