I am currently using a xiaomi smart band 9 to track my rides (so thats GPS from phone + HR from band), I start and end the ride from the band and the app automatically transfers the route, speed and heart rate to stravaI am wondering if I should upgrade to a bike computer cus I am not worried about how much calories I burn nowadays, as I got the idea of it. I just want to know how far I went and how long it took me, and to keep track of cadence so I learn to ride optimallyI have been looking at XOSS G2+ (pic related) with 2 sensors - one for cadence on crank and other on rear hub for speed (rotation)my questions about bike computers in general are:>do the bike computer accessories (cadence, speed, HR) connect to it, or to the phone>does only the bike computer connect to your phone and stay connected constantly, or only to transfer data to strava or an app once the ride finishes?>can I just get on my bike and ride, and the bike computer will then automatically upload my ride to strava once I am done?>can I still use my xiaomi band 9 to measure my HR? will I be able to see my HR on the screen? or the bike computer only connects to HR sensors and not other "smart" devices>should I get a bike computer with an actual screen to show maps/route?>should I even get a bike computer to begin with, I am riding actual gravel and trails, basically exploring my region on weekends and driving 2-3 times to work a week, will the sensors and shit survive the rough terrain?>will my mechanical watch (8 year old skx007) get fucked by the vibrations from the single/double track?Thanks
>>2056746In fact that's a conservative estimate. A 5mph headwind can add 10 minutes if you pedal at the same wattage. So plus or minus 5mph means a 10mph difference, I assume you can do the math since you're clearly such a smart guy
>>2056748>In fact that's a conservative estimatelmao even
>>2056750Sorry you can't do the math, but it's 45 watts vs 128 watts to maintain the same speed
>>2056746i commute 19 miles (one way) a couple times a week and I can confirm his numbers. I don't use my bike computer for arrival estimates tho

SS United States to be sunk, creating the world's largest artificial reef. RIP to one of the greats.
>>2055214county posted an update of Facebook last week, which I can't read, so from a TV station:A date and location for the deployment of the SS United States as the World’s Largest Artificial Reef have not been finalized. She is still expected to be deployed in late 2025 about 20 NM south of Destin-Fort Walton Beach.All fuel has been removed from all 120 tanks aboard the ship. Extensive cleaning continues on those tanks to meet inspection standards.Top four decks have been fully remediated and are ready for inspection.All portholes and windows have been removed.70% of the wiring has been removed.Funnels, radar mast, propellers and other large topside items were removed in August.
Bumpo
>>2056186Okaloosa County commissioners have approved nearly $68,000 to document the towing and sinking with a live video stream.
>>2018494>It's 60 times more efficient per ton,Not if you have to eat and sleep. They are expensive bit you are light and cannot be stacked twenty deep in a steel container. Real world efficiency is what counts not theoretical maximums.People make similar errors with trains and buses failing to take account of the wasted space between each train or a bus on a dedicated bus lane.

>>2057195Is that the baja?
>>2056982I'm a taxi driver and once had some horse riding people as passangers, i took them to a race where they would participate in, i could smell the horseshit on them, the clothes and hair soaked in the smell.
>>2058135that was not poop smell it was horse smell. I am amazed at how far removed from nature people from cities are, especially the lower classes who do not have extra income for travel. They seem to have very limited life experience
A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.https://www.odditycentral.com/news/german-teenager-left-parents-home-to-live-exclusively-on-trains-for-the-last-year-and-a-half.htmlhttps://www.businessinsider.de/leben/bahncard100-17-jaehriger-lebt-seit-jahr-2022-in-den-zuegen-der-bahn/

If I passed you, don't take it personally. It's because you're slow, weak, and have no stamina. No, don't look at my bike. I could smoke you any day, even you were riding a Colnago Gioello, and I could do it on a $100 BSO from Walmart. Little man, learn to take defeat gracefully. I won, fair and square.If you passed me, chill out dude, you're such an insecure tryhard. You wasted all that money to win a race that only exists in your head. Sure I could have been a pro, still could if I'm being honest, but that kind of thing doesn't interest me, I have nothing to prove to myself. So why should I try to prove anything to others, let alone you? Stop and smell the roses, that's my philosophy.

>>2057116This is a custom racing bicycle, sir. Designed for competitive road cycling. This bike has a light-weight, space-age carbon frame and handlebars positioned to put the rider in a more aerodynamic posture. It also has micro-shifters and thirty-seven gears, and weighs under six pounds. I won the Tour de Mexico on this bike.
