What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Reynard]

And to go with the above, a set of Shimano ST-EF29-7 trigger shifters, picked up on the 'bay for the price of a takeaway coffee.

An adaptor from Gopro to a male Garmin quarter turn mount, to attach my action camera to a seatpost Varia mount to use as a rear facing camera.

I forgot that I came on here this evening to say that I bought a bag of creatine for [me to get fitter for riding] the bike. I have watched a few videos about creatine recently and wondered what it might do for me. I have been a vegetarian since 1983 so there is a good chance that I am a bit lacking in it. I also wonder if I am getting enough protein so I am thinking of boosting my protein intake too.

Lentils, (eggs), beans, nutsand oats for protein. If you eat rice, cook it with lentils. Creatine for the oldies. (Said to help fight muscle loss)

I must start eating more lentils! I like them but rarely buy them.

I am somehow becoming a scrawny oldie (70 in January!) so a bit of nutritional help is probably a good idea.

My legs get plenty of exercise, but my upper body needs to be given a lot more work.

Try mejadra - a middle-eastern dish of fried onions, rice and spiced lentils. It's one of life's supreme comfort foods

Both onions and lentils are prebiotics.

I eat lots of onions, garlic and chillies.

I have just added lentils to my shopping list.

PS I forgot - I had half a bag of green lentils hiding at the back of the top shelf of my kitchen cupboard... I know what I will be cooking tomorrow night!

This has reminded me that I am getting an occasional click from the front of my best bike when I hit bumps in the road at speed. I really should try to find out what is making that noise!

If you don't I know a good dentist!🤣🤣🤣

Go rowing, that would sort the upper body ot, but you need an open stretch of water for that.

A bottle cage.

Or a Concept 2?

 

[Bristolian]

Two TPU inner tubes and a longer handlebar stem.

Having gone more than a year without a puncture I got two in my last three rides so thought I'd try TPU instead of Butyl - just for a change. Before my last ride I moved my saddle forward quite a bit but felt cramped up on the ride so a longer stem will be fitted tomorrow to see if that helps.
