The contacts have concentric rings. One set of rings is for distance focus, and the other set is for near focus. Your retina and brain somehow figure out how to make sense of it. There is a small loss of clarity, but not enough to be a problem.

I agree. I stopped pedaling right at the bus stop and see no evidence of my power dropping at the end of the segment data.

I’ve been using multi-focal contact lenses. I can see my bike computer and road signs without having to lower my chin, which I have to do with transition lenses. And with the contacts I get to sport a pair of Oakleys.

So if we enter Zwift by selecting Tempus Fugit, do we need to change direction at any point to ride the Fuego du Lollipop segment?

Oh, C'mon. I'm been thinking my 145mm cranks and hummingbird heart will win me some awards. ;-)

Should weight include shoes and helmet (even though no helmet on Zwift)?

Thanks for allowing Zwift. The answer to your question "why [can't] someone can't go outside at least once a week and ride 12-miles?" is safety. On Sunday I did my first ride outdoors in two months. I hit a pothole wider than the width of the laptop I'm typing this on at 33 mph and cracked my...

I got the free Xert account and uploaded 3 months of Strava data, which included a FTP ramp test on Zwift at the end of January. For the January test I got a 7 watt demotion over last year. And the Xert analytics gave me an additional 15 watt demotion. Ugh! But it's probably about right given...

XertOnline test protocol specifies a "maximal effort" and "4 or 5 peak power sprints". Whether or not you get a maximal effort in the TTT depends on your strength relative to the team and the number of team members. And there's typically just one sprint at the end. So does that mean you have to...

Nice riding with you @ratz . For the others watching this thread, it works as advertised.

I'm interested in group training. Don't have Trainer Road, but could get it. 1700 miles is a long way to go for a race, especially if driving is necessary because air travel is risky. But I'm planning to go back to the 6-12-24 WTTC in Borrego Springs. Some chance that race might not happen, too...

I’ve been using the Bacchetta Brain Box with a Thor seat for a couple years. Wheel clearance is very close with a 700c wheel, but works as long as you don’t overload the bag. I use a large safety pin at the top of the bag/seat to tighten it up and lift the bag a little. With a 650b rear wheel...

I hope that was 50lb of craft beer and cheesecake. ;-) Is there an option for those of us who don’t have Trainer Road?

So which brand won, and what were the mileages?

The longer fork from the Sofrider would raise the front end of the Bike Friday. I don't think the Bike Friday can take a larger rear wheel. So do you think it would be a problem to have the front end raised?

Looking into this some more, I think it would be much simpler to use the Sofrider to convert a standard tandem. I found this by @Charles.Plager on another forum: https://www.bikeforums.net/folding-bikes/1096847-2wd-folding-recumbent-tandem.html It appears to be a Fito FZ2 7-Speed Folding...

I'm thinking about converting our Sofrider into a tandem, and found this old thread. What does the Tribe think about replacing the aft end of the Sofrider with the aft end of a Rans Stratus (from the bottom bracket of the Stratus back)?

Nice! I'm going to give this a try.
