All things bicycle here.

This guy installed a Loud Bicycle. It's basically a car horn on a bike. Folks, don't be surprised if you hear a car horn and a bike is behind you. He also vlogged his ride via his helmet cam. LOOK AT ALL THOSE BICYCLISTS! You can hear him use the Loud Bicycle at around 05:54. I wondered if the drivers even noticed in time.

Juuuust missed a century. Ran out of daylight.  Not gonna risk becoming road kill for some 0.0001% sports car driving speedster, didn't bring blinkies. Now to watch Tiger Woods. A pickup truck did buzz me too close though.

Goodbye bicycle. New York City, Gone in <60 seconds.

You wanna protect your bike? I use a beater. You use a bike no one wants to steal.

Don't watch hockey (used to at one time) so don't know who Sean Avery is, guessing he's some type of enforcer retaliator guy, don't know his reputation, but this is a bit much. I like it when cyclists stick up for themselves, but I would have just gone around.

Some people, in this case the mouthy guy on a bike (I refuse to call him a cyclist), don’t seem to realize that getting your ass kicked IS an option...

I'm pretty sure Sean Avery was the cyclist.

I know.  Nonetheless....

I don't think he's worried about the guy beating him up.

That’s the point.  No one thinks it could happen.

Then 3 guys with tire irons show up.

Regardless though, he was a dick.  And I’m a serious cyclist...

Just got my 13 year old a Cult Gateway freestyle BMX bike. He’s loving it! My 9 year old got his old bike which is a very nice Cannondale so he’s pretty happy too!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
