Depends. Fast group, 100% if I can stay on. Windy ride, 100% except with tailwind. Mountain ride, only when descending unless windy. Casual cruise 0%.
Any time I'm trying to be in a hurry I go to the drops. I have shallow drop bars on my main bike and deep drop on my old bike. It's a shock to jump on the old bike for the first time in months and suddenly the drops are 2" lower.

Yes. I think it's more likely to be lack of attention to detail. Though I am a big fan of non-locality. The lack of attention could possibly be blamed on the Covid, and it could also be an indicator of the state of the country and its direction.

I was out actually cycling. On the road.
Today's ride was one of those where you're not really feeling it, and your shifting feels wonky, and your legs just don't seem to have that snap, and the wind is in your face no matter which way you're going, and you figure, "Well, it's better than working, I guess".
Then you find out it's your fastest ride on that particular route, and you got 10 Strava achievements on a road you've ridden dozens if not hundreds of times. So, I guess I wasn't THAT bad.

My understanding is that it's got two different headset bearing caps and, between those and spacers, it's capable of being as low as (or maybe lower than ) a slammed R3 or taller than the max of a C3. IIRC, the handling should be a tad slower than an R3, which would make it a little quicker than a C3.

No, the line was too long with self righteous anti-mask people. They’re gonna be a while.

I need new glasses myself. Mine are Progressives, used to be called 'lineless bifocals' till some marketing genius realized that just the word 'bifocals' makes the wearer feel like an old. Anyway, the problem is that I'm doing so many Zoom meetings, and in order to focus on the screen I have to tilt my head back, which gives me a haughty, nose-in-the-air look. Of course, the solution is a set of 'computer glasses', but I don't really want to get that close to a stranger at the optometrist, what with all the slow agonizing death floating around. So, it's between my vanity and my health.....
SkechUp? Or if you want to go true 3D, Fusion 360 (aka RhinoLight )

It's kind of a cluster with improper mask wearing and constant fiddling around with the masks. I saw spitting as well, that is an automatic thing that's going to be hard to eliminate. That and crotch adjusting of course.

I can’t wait to see how they plan to pull this off, I think they’re about as delusional as the wh. They need a bubble situation like the NBA, but there are at least 3 times as many players and coaches involved. What’s the plan, Roger?
