Yours and John:s look just like mine.

I should probably post this in 50+ but starting here. My near vision had always been ok (I wear contacts for distance) even with contacts in, but in the past few weeks I have noticed that my near vision has gone to crap. I use the computer at work and it's becoming a challenge. I know it's "normal" to need reading glasses/cheaters at my age (presbyopia literally means old eyes) but it's quite frustrating.

I know they make eyedrops that can treat this, I may have to try some. Or else wear the cheaters around my neck like a stethoscope.

Or, you go with progressive trifocals like I had to do.

Sometimes, if you look up, at at something distance every 10 minutes or so, it helps. My pupils? Cones? Feel like they get frozen in place, at the close up space. You know what I'm driving at....

A MTB can go everywhere a gravel bike can go, but not the other way around. I don't foresee myself doing enough riding where the advantages of a gravel bike become a significant factor. For now, a gravel bike will remain on the N+1 list. I may also be a the limits of my bike storage space without having to take away from other activities that happen in my garage. If my kid takes a bike with her to college, however....

Not for me. I know myself and that would drive me NUTS. Ditto the whole "monovision" option with one lens for close and one for distance. I know it works for some but would make me bonkers.

Set out to do a sub 5 hour century. At 3:43 mins I passed 80 miles, so my goal changed to 100 miles in 4:30 mins. I almost made it, 4:39 mins. What I don’t get is strava shows 4:46 mins. Why doesn’t the data directly transfer from garmin.

I know it doesn’t matter, but it is frustrating.

I initially thought the same, and it took me a while to adjust, but now I can't really do much without them.

Except, I ride and drive (at times) without the glasses.

I also take them off when I detail the car since that alleviates my OCD.

It sounds bad!

B-aller ride!

I noticed some things on my ride this past Saturday. I rode with a friend, both on the same bikes, but I have Garmin and he has a Wahoo computer. My elevation gain was 1,086, but his was only 755. Ride with GPS says 1,206 for the route. I cannot figure out why his computer was showing so much less.

Waitaminnit, you're counting your moving time for you century time???

Does everyone do this these days?

phrantic09

Difference in how it does auto pause?

bampilot06

I mean, I wasn’t running strava, the data comes from garmin and is sent to strava. It should just copy over no?

phrantic09

No, it uses the file from Garmin and draws its own assumptions

Velo Vol 

Disallowed.

bampilot06

well that’s dumb.

Same here. Progressive lenses.

ls01

we are talking about cycling here, so yeah.

I tried progression lenses once. I had to turn my whole head, to asé what I can see by moving only my eyes, with bifocals.

The climbs hereabouts tend to be covered in trees, so I've had the experience where the Garmin had me way off the road, which would seriously impact the elevation - since the hill itself is quite steep, so the road switches back a lot. And when I tried to make another climb a 'Starred Segment', I'd get half a mile up it and the Garmin would tell me I was off the segment and stop.

Kudos

genejockey 

Me too. I think I need to get those special glasses for computer work, though, the ones where there's more of the bottom, so I don't have to tilt my head back. Ergonomically, I believe, you're supposed to raise your screens more to eye level, but mine are lower because I need to look through the bottom to read them.

Discuss.
