Dem bicicletas, doe

Mine has one, she gets excited over riding then her mind totally goes into overdrive and she gets overwhelmed at the mere thought of riding.

It's a vicious cycle.

That's pretty much how I feel. I like the idea of riding, but actually doing it as an adult is only tiring and stressful - not fun like it was as a kid. Dunno how to fix that, apparently you guys who ride a lot just enjoy pain?

What works for one doesn’t generally work for all. Plenty of people love running. I dont because it hurts my knees and feet. So I don’t do it.

If I can get mine on the bike, she'll start complaining within a few miles about anything and everything. She can drunk ride on a cruiser for a few miles, and that's about my only hope.

I ride frequently (will be doing more with this quarantine), but I doubt she'll be going with me ever.

I bought Lisa a decent road bike one year for her birthday. She used it a few times. It sat on the trainer for a while and she used that a few times. Now it’s in the basement behind 30+ bags of plaster rubble.

My legs are a bit sore from the 7.2 miles I did yesterday. Felt good to be back on the bike doe.

Yeah I am just looking for a hobby that isn't terrible for my health or my wallet. Some kind of biking seems like the best answer if I can figure out how to enjoy it.

IIRC you wanted to be able to go faster with less effort? Buy some slick tires and throw them on your bike. It’ll be just like a dedicated road bike but with better brakes and a tad more weight.

Continental GP5000 are killer tires. Get them in 30mm size (plus some tubes to mount them up) and try it out.

Seems I'm stuck in some weird purgatory where I don't know if I have health insurance or not.

So, looks like I'm off the bike until this is over.

Pelotube, here we come.

That completely sucks. They should be able to tell you if your health care is being paid or not.

Want. But $120 sounds ridiculous for this.

Don’t fall off.

Not refilling empty soap also makes no sense... gon'

She is too self conscious... this is always the way with physical activity stuff. She got crazy when we went to the gym together and she asked me for feedback of her lifts. I took video to show her some things and she panicked about it being so embarrassing.

Sounds exactly like what I deal with. Super worried about what others think.

I only shut down like that when it comes time to dance. I. Don't. Dance.

Welcome to Clan Funsponge. You are my blood brother on dancing.

I've put padding on the floor and my body. We're good.

Let me know if you want to borrow my DH pads for extra protection...

After about 3 beers I get dancy pants. Haha. I'm horrible at it.

Bring them for socially distanced porch beers tomorrow.

Same here. I'm a fairly willing, fairly terrible drunk dancer.

Riding is my outlet. I can push myself, enjoy some thrills, see places I normally wouldn't see, get gainzzz from it, and have fun, all in one activity. And aside from the initial investment in gear, it's relatively cheap to do.

Yeah I don't enjoy the pain exactly... but I kinda do? Exercise keeps me feeling good all of the time, right now being stuck in the fucking house all the time, getting outside for any reason feels amazing, and staying not fat feels amazing.

I'd say I enjoy running more in some ways, bu what's cool about the bike is you can actually cover some decent distance and see things through a different lens versus driving.

No room at this cas And I'd be hesitant to on equipment at this stage of the game. Have you had anywhere to lift at all?

I noticed that a park near here has those body weight machines like bench, shoulder press, rows, etc. where the movement lifts your body on the seat... I've been debating the COVID risks of using that a few times a week, haven't lifted in 1.5 weeks now.

Nope, I don’t really have anything to lift these days. I’ll toss around the munchkin, so there’s that.

If I’m doing push-ups she can climb on my back for extra weight.

I should probably start carting some rocks around the yard.

One of the strongman gyms near me posted up a cheap option. Grab a sack of concrete, wrap it in duct tape, and work with that. You can do carries, lifts, etc. with it. And an old tire or something as a crash mat for it.

Seems like a really solution if someone has the space.
