Recumbent quads?

Are bigger than DF quads 😁

The truth is, ignorance is not binary. It is a spectrum.

What others cycling terms did you think DF was an abbreviation for?

Dead Fox. I saw one near the Burstow scout hut on my way cycling to Shoreham weekend before last.

Would have made a nice hat.

I'd have stopped and skinned it but being on a group ride there was no time to mess around like that.

Your cycling tool kit is obviously more extensive than mine!

And you call them DF in exchanges with others?

Downhill Fork?
Dahon Folder?

It's not exactly unambiguous.

I'm confused .. why are we measuring level of knowledge/ignorance based on one abbreviation?

But have you seen DF used in those contexts compared to the 19th century DF abbreviation?

I do indeed. If I'm at a roadkill exchange meeting, the DF: DB (Dead Fox to Dead Badger) rate is the first thing I establish

I just checked the Forum list of abbreviations and DF for Diamond Frame isn't in there. But I'll remember it for future reference.

No, every car and bus and train you move round in is a recumbent. Recumbent is just another word for recline, and describes the seating setup. People are used to getting around in recumbent vehicles, and they find it pretty comfy. Now apply that to a recumbent bike, and it’s equally comfy, plus you are getting your daily active time in at the same time.

Cycling (and walking) are almost the only times that I am not recumbent...

I realised the other day that I have probably averaged 22+ hours a day in the recumbent position for the past 12 years!

Or lots of love perhaps?
