    Today was probably the hardest cycling day I've ever had so far, first a 26.4 km warm up ride and then heading home to grease the chain, then I took a 87 km trip with mostly climbing. Here's a pic from the last ride. Not very good quality, but it's two elks/mooses or whatever you call them that...

    I don't know the exact numbers but I think I've used a cadence around 60-80 for the last few years, it just feels most natural for me. I used higher gears before but that made my knees hurt, now those problem are gone.

    Another thing that works great is to hang a LED light from a zipper on the jacket and/or rucksack so it swings back and forth. I agree on the invisible thought, many drivers won't even see you in daylight even if you wear "screaming yellow" colored clothes. Apart from that, a "real" bike jacket...

    Thanks, the temperatures has mostly stayed around 13-22 C the last weeks, so it's been pretty much perfect for bike rides.

    A picture taken with the phone from Frösön over Oviksfjällen from tonights ride, trying to climb some meters in the Rapha Rising challenge. The road was a bit damp and the temperature about 11 C - but no wind, so it was quite nice.

    It's usually the same thing. Better fuel economy=less emissions.

    I want to buy a new car

    It sounds like a stupid way to reach certain emission levels, why don't they try some good old engineering work instead?

    A hodge-podge of tyres

    I have continental premium contact 5 in that exact dimension. They are pretty good allround tires with excellent grip in the wet, but the sidewalls are too soft for my taste, so they kill most of the fun. I would probably go with the Pirelli P7 or something from Nokian if I was shopping for new...

    I think you should go with the 2014 Ultegra Di2. Rohloff Speedhub seems to be more aimed at MTB's, city- and trekking bikes?

    It's kind of my regular route, it's pretty scenic. I prefer when it's a bit up and down as it means I can rest now and then.

    A Roubaix or Tarmac would definitely be nice, Specialized make some beautiful bikes, unfortunately their local dealer is more interested in selling kid bikes than racing bikes so it's pretty difficult to get a test ride. :/ Besides, the Sempre has been on my radar for about a year, so it wasn't...

    I don't think so, then it would only take 6 years to finish. ;) Very impressive projects, both of them.

    All I know is that I would get bored if I lived for 1000 years. The only upside would be that I could have a realistic chance to save money for an Ferrari F40. :) But look at the sharks, they live for 20-30 years, and they have been around for >400 million years. I think the ideal lifespan...

    The problem with that reasoning is that we, just like any other animal on this planet, only exists to reproduce. Our children are smarter than us and their children will be even more intelligent. The upside with living for 1000 years is that we'd have pretty much experience, but we would...

    Pope Hangs It Up?

    Most religions should be updated. It's been a while since the Bible and Quran was written and the world has changed a bit in the last 1500-2000 years. I don't think the catholic church is the only place where you find pedophiles, you'll probably find them in situations where they train or work...

    Perhaps the catholic church should just let their priests get married? That way they could do their wives instead of the altar boys or the females in the parish.

    It's no problem with the right clothes, the shoes are supposed to work between +5 and -35C, the rest is just a question of adding layers.

    Yes, but it's not any worse than people who does cross country skiing in that temperature. Besides, -15C here doesn't feel as cold as -15 feels by the coast. The biggest problem is that I don't have a proper winter lube so the chain and gears gets stuck when it gets down to about -20. But that...

    It's -15C (5F) here today, a bit chilly but I only have a 10-15 minute commute so it's OK. But I wouldn't go on a 32 mile ride, at least not without warmer clothes and ski goggles.

    One thing that's pretty useless is the Store. I can sort the apps in different ways, but not Alphabetical and I can't write and search like in the start screen... I'm sure Steve Ballmer did this for my own good, but I don't appreciate his kindness very much at the moment.

    Media Center (?) Advice

    If your friend decides to go with XBMC and the Synology NAS (or any existing NAS) two out of three hardware components needed to run DLNA are already in place. The 12" Thinkpad would make an excellent control point by the way, as long as your friend has WiFi at home. He can just tie the Thinkpad...

I also removed all Metro apps from the start screen, so she's probably not even aware of...
