The bicycle thread

[Guest]

Here is a picture of a future bicycle  modelled it has very high long rang gear ratio and a 5:1 internal rear wheel internal planetary gear hub all up 500:1 high speed gear ratio, 60 RPM at the crank 30,000 RPM at the rear wheel and a wheel driven compressor, also front wheel canards for aerodynamic front wheel downforce when travelling at 6 times the speed of sound. i didnt design a bracking system. well im getting better at using Blender2.83 its taking me time.

Haven't done a 120km+ day for very long time. Usually the weekend "long" ride is only 80-100Km. I know I'm lazy.

 

Keep it up, good work.

I’m fine biking with jeans. I use a slim fit (Levi 511). Although the sweat you get is not that great and I’m lucky my meeting a little bit after was over zoom haha.

I miss biking cant do it anymore because of a brain injury, I never really estimated the miles I did but i could bike six hours straight

Im looking to invest in a indoor mount so I can still use my bike

Ouch. That's rough, mate.

 

 Imagine hooking up a trainer to a VR set up so you could ride through the Alps or something from your living room.

Been using my BB7s for a while now, and I'm very happy with their performance. Haven't been able to try them in wet weather or run them extremely hard but I'm really happy with them. Only complaint I have is that they are noisy when I press extremely hard, but 1. I rarely have to do that 2. That could be my installation and 3. Could be the pad type.

 

Tl;dr very happy and 100% recommend.
