I agree he's horrible and should go, but sorry... a petition will do nothing.

How much do you blame the people who voted for Trump or other fascists? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Trump has been trash since the 1980s. He was a garbage president in 2016. If you "fell for it" in 2020 and/or 2024, you're dumber than dirt.

Approach to winter cycling? in c/bicycling@lemmy.world
[–] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like that... Make the best of the nicer days and push there rather than trying to hit some other quota, riding when it's unpleasant, and getting de-motivated.

Approach to winter cycling? in c/bicycling@lemmy.world
[–] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lately it's been cold + actively snowing, so it just hasn't been appealing to go out and ride. Like another commenter mentioned there's also the factor of it getting dark early. So, it's really just been a lack of motivation on my part recently.

I've been trying out different layering to try to get temps in the sweet not too hot/not too cold spot. Still got more work to do, but am getting there. One thing I found has helped was to throw a handlebar bag on in colder temps - makes it easier to stash something if I get warmer than expected or have some additional if it's colder... beats having a backpack that gets my back sweaty.

Approach to winter cycling? (lemmy.world)
 

I got back into cycling (mostly gravel and paved multi-use path) about a year and a half ago. Last winter, I more or less put biking aside and just tried to do more walking instead.

This year, I'm trying to continue biking a bit more throughout the winter because firstly, I enjoy it, and second I don't want to be as out of shape come spring.

I've gotten myself some warmer gear (not a ton). I've given myself permission to just try to get some seat time in while not really pushing for distance or speed.

Lately the weather has been more of a challenge and I'm feeling myself falling behind.

So, what's the community's approach to winter?

Do you suck it up and go for it like it's still summer? Move into the garage/basement and go 100% indoor trainer?

DirtFish’s Rally Portugal 2024 Driver Ratings (dirtfish.com)
 

Do you agree with DirtFish’s rankings for last weekend's outing in Portugal for the Rally1 drivers?

It was great to see Tanak do so well finally. He's had some rotten luck the past few seasons and deserves to be in the title fight just as much as Evans and Neuville.

While they didn't podium this time around, I continue to be impressed with how Adrian Fourmaux is handling is role as nearly the sole point-scorer for M-sport month after month.
