Having trouble choosing a bike / confused ramble. - Lemmy.World
Hi, I’m looking to get back into cycling after about a ten year break. I used to cycle everywhere but travel, injury and moving to the suburbs basically stopped me. The main rides I’ll be doing: - 36km (22mi) between my place and my girlfriends - little bit of road, mostly bike path, a little bit of gravel. - 8km (5mi) to JiuJitsu class - road/pavement/path. With at least one loaded pannier, possibly two. I’m 110kg (~242lb) with a fairly solid build, the steel frames are appealing. I may do a little touring, I haven’t done it before but Australia has some great off road tour options. It might just be a nice idea that I never get around to. I like camping and being alone which is what appeals about touring. Being in Australia, I’m pretty limited on what bikes are actually available. I was recommended the Kona Sutra LTD ($4k) (by a sales guy) but I feel that the wide tires aren’t a great choice for the commuting and it’s a bit more than I was planning to spend. I don’t mind spending more on getting the right bike for me but I’m also pretty frugal so would prefer to spend less if I can find the right bike for less. I’ve also been considering the Marin Nicasio plus ($1.3K), Nicasio 2 ($2.2k), Surly Preamble ($2.9k), Salsa Cutthroat ($4.9k) or maybe a Bombtrack ($??). Plus about $1000 for fenders, racks and a big fat lock to lock it up. Thanks for any input.
Where are you planning to go this year?
Where are you planning to go this year? - Sopuli
Bit of conversational question. I have 2 plans and still don’t know which one I will choose, maybe you will help me decide. One is to ride to Spain for solar eclipse, that is 12.7. and ride home. So probably through Austria, northern Italy, France and along Mediterranean coast to Spain. Other is through Poland, Baltic’s towards Finland. I still don’t know what next if it would be possible to go to Sweden and Norway and then cross to Denmark… I will have about 2 months for that so I will probably use some trains and stuff to shortcut it here and there. So what are your plans, where would you want to go this year?

>Graf, too, was “hungry for an adventure”. “I wanted to chase some mountains and meet people. And I’ve always felt drawn to self-propelled ways of travel. I wanted to be independent and free,” he says. He considered walking, inspired by The Longest Walk by George Meegan, who trekked across the Americas in the late 70s. He settled on cycling so he could cover more distance while still travelling slowly.

What to wear in spring and autumn bikre rides
What to wear in spring and autumn bikre rides - Lemmy
Hey. I’m planning some trips in the spring time in Europe, with my gravelbike. What do you wear and what manufacturer do you recommend. I really don’t know what is best, to have a jacket that is windprooforver a short Jersey, or a long jersey with a rainjacket? I really want to go for race fit style.
