RE: [Blog #4] Bike Training | Beautiful day, 32 km ride & Strava
Thanks for the comment @twowheeledmonkey!
hahaah that's true, it is what I'm trying to avoid since I'm more focused on traveling by bike and not on competition. But I gotta say it adds some adrenaline to the training, to know that I could do better.
Another thing that is addictive as hell are the bike upgrades! I know my bike is more than perfect for what I need, but maaaaan... all those parts out there.
Yes. This happens especially when you join a cycling club. You see your mates buying new shiny stuff for their bikes and sooner rather than later, you jump in the fray.
And cycling might cost no money when you ride. But become a cyclist and it is one expensive hobby!
Absolutely, I see a loooot of vanity in cycling. Guys with super expensive equipment to ride on the streets, come on.
I have a strict rule for myself: Invest in safety first and only upgrade when something breaks.
