They go odd when I explain its the second most important meal of the day. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189698 Fri, 29 May 2015 15:10:57 +0000 amir 189698@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am always forgetting to start the gps these days, especially on the way home. Fortunately the route home is usually straight and Strava tends to make gaps up. I also have the back up of the old fashioned cycle computer which starts automatically.</p> <p>I'm pretty addicted to collating mileage totals on a monthly basis. I did try to wean myself off mileage target setting in favour of quality but was only partly successful (I do both now). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189697 Fri, 29 May 2015 15:05:55 +0000 dougal 189697@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I just don't have the stamina to upload that many Strava sessions in a day. It takes me about 5 minutes in a straight line from flat to station which isn't worth fiddling with my phone.</p> <p>I suppose if I had a fancy gizmo that did that stuff for me it would be easier. I'd still have to sync it manually I think? I confess I don't really know what features high-end bike computers have. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189696 Fri, 29 May 2015 15:04:44 +0000 Baldcyclist 189696@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sometimes, if i'm close to a milestone I'll even chuck my garmin in my pocket when I'm out on the Pashley (well it would look silly, on the Pashley). Don't want to lose any of those miles... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189695 Fri, 29 May 2015 14:42:29 +0000 fimm 189695@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And if you want to know how far you have cycled in a year, Strava is one fairly easy way to find out, so what's the problem? (says someone who uploads 4 bike-train-bike commuting activities most days....) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189692 Fri, 29 May 2015 14:02:33 +0000 deckard112 189692@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Beano @paddyirish....ditto. </p> <p>However as Strava has pointed out my commute has become a pain filled pedal stomping suffer ridden time trial. Of sorts.</p> <p>Although 'fly-by' has made it even more geeky. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189687 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:53:09 +0000 paddyirish 189687@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@beano</p> <p>yep, I have that too, though there are many ways to get to Edinburgh from Fife. Give any secret stalkers a wee surprise by trying a different one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189674 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:13:18 +0000 Beano 189674@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>think I am somewhere between commuter and extreme commuter.</p> <p>Love the line:</p> <p>"...and uploading the same six-mile route on Strava two times a day."</p> <p>yep that's what my Strava feed looks like... Dunfermline to Edinburgh and back...hope no one follows me on it...I must be mega boring to follow haha </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189658 Fri, 29 May 2015 11:45:36 +0000 Min 189658@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Love those. I think I am a bit of a cychamaeleon as I see a bit of myself in several of those descriptions! It has been a wee while since I could justify second breakfast though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189639 Fri, 29 May 2015 09:45:37 +0000 Cyclingmollie 189639@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The hedonist - I think that might have nailed me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189634 Fri, 29 May 2015 08:35:47 +0000 dougal 189634@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If the gods had wanted us to eat porridge why would they invent the bacon &amp; egg doubler? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189630 Fri, 29 May 2015 07:16:46 +0000 gembo 189630@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As paddy Irish points out Porridge is the answer. No need for second breakfast if start day with bowl of porridge topped with Greek yoghurt honey and on feast days rhubarb compote. Marks and Spencer's are selling stuff with millet in it that makes you feel too good. True. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189628 Fri, 29 May 2015 00:25:17 +0000 Snowy 189628@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Second breakfast. The snack between breakfast and elevenses. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189626 Thu, 28 May 2015 23:37:03 +0000 dougal 189626@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think they've heard of second breakfast, Baldcyclist. Except maybe on Fridays. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189625 Thu, 28 May 2015 23:16:47 +0000 Baldcyclist 189625@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Extreme commuter, lol. You should see the stash of Go bars and chocolate in my work drawer, and daily talk of "second breakfast". </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189624 Thu, 28 May 2015 22:37:11 +0000 paddyirish 189624@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I nearly spat my porridge over my keyboard when I read the commuter ones earlier this week. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14886#post-189622 Thu, 28 May 2015 22:33:37 +0000 SRD 189622@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/the-11-types-of-cyclists-we-all-know-173141" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/the-11-types-of-cyclists-we-all-know-173141</a> </p>
