Hamster on Strava

[Dogtrousers]

A chap in the Netherlands has rigged sensors to his hamster's wheel and is uploading activities to Strava.

Purist hamsters are scathingly saying treadmill runs don't count and are cheating.

Next thing is it'll be on Zwift, doing Zwift races and passing human runners.

The hamster had ambitions to be a Guinea pig.

Impressive distances, but a poor veloviewer score!

I liked reading about the premium Strava subscription.

Do we know whether it's an E-wheel though?

 

[Binky]

That is class although I'm not sure the wheel is UCI compliant.

Commissaires on the case and I expect a ban to be issued forthwith.

I need to give myself a shake. Bloomin hamster runs more than me.

To be fair, a Hamster only lives until about 4, so I guess you were running about a lot more when you were 4 too?

Now a hamster that is 57, has a mortgage, been divorced 3 times, has umpteen kids and maintenance to pay, hates it's job, etc... I bet it wouldn't run much either! 😆

I like that the hamster has signed up for the August distance challenge

Bet he had trouble completing the application though. Very small paws to type / write with.
