He rides all day every day on Zwift while working. Averages about 800 miles every week. I don’t fancy that myself but when I saw his neat setup and nice airy dry shed, I did get a bit of shed envy :) My trainer is in a garage with dusty bare concrete floor and damp coming down one of the walls that is also a retaining wall for the back lawn. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349049 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 14:25:05 +0000 LaidBack 349049@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo - my business partner made me post it!</p> <p>There is a self righting enclosed motorbike. Not self driving yet afaik.</p> <p>Tilting pedal e-trikes are a thing although controlling the correct amount of lean electronically would take more energy than human power. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349048 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 14:15:41 +0000 neddie 349048@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Being able to work on a self-driving bike also assumes you're going to be stuck in traffic (yet another example of "automobile thinking" inappropriately applied to bikes, see Give Way lines and road junction markings on cycle paths for example) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349047 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 14:13:55 +0000 neddie 349047@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><blockquote>If I could work whilst on the bike rather than sitting in a chair then on many days I think I'd be a lot happier.</blockquote></p> <p>You'd better switch your cargo bike build to this then ;-)</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20502" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20502</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349045 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 13:34:27 +0000 steveo 349045@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If I could work whilst on the bike rather than sitting in a chair then on many days I think I'd be a lot happier. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349044 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 12:54:03 +0000 nobrakes 349044@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It does illustrate one of humanity’s failings quite nicely though. Every new technology that makes life ‘easier’ just means greater expectation from employers of you doing more work during time that you never used to work. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349042 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 12:27:29 +0000 chdot 349042@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah but you <em>want</em> it to be true... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349041 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 12:26:06 +0000 gembo 349041@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Took me zero seconds </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20546#post-349039 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 11:34:06 +0000 LaidBack 349039@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LSZPNwZex9s&amp;feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LSZPNwZex9s&amp;feature=youtu.be</a></p> <p>Traditional for this day! </p>
