Endomondo Cycling Workout

Endomondo Cycling Workout

Today’s experiment was riding the bike while using the Endomondo app that tracked my route and speed.  Interesting. 

 

Riding through the neighborhood is still ok although I have to watch for the speeding cars.    The bike helmet and the flashing lights on the bike actually help to make drivers realize that I am a “serious” cyclist.  Otherwise, I would be getting more than the one car horn from someone who thinks bikes belong on the sidewalk.  Yes, there was one fool tonight. 

 

My average speed is still pretty slow because of stop signs and such.  And the fact that I don’t know what I’m doing!   Two different dials for changing gears and speed?!  What is the difference between 2/5 and 3/1?    3/5 seems to spin the pedals wildly with little effect.  But so does 1/1.  I need to make it to an area where I have long flat areas to ride and experiment.

 

Have to get ready for a garage sale this weekend.  The neighborhood is sponsoring and I will really try to get rid of some of the extra items around here that I am too cheap to just give away.
