Just finished another 10 mi (15.11km) bike ride 🚲 . I slowed down because it was @absolutus 's first time but he kept pretty decent pace (just a bit slower than my normal time) What I really love though is how much my heart rate has improved! 2 months ago I wouldnt have been able to get to the end of the block but now I'm going the distance. Couldn't be happier with my results!
@freemo @absolutus I will exercise vicariously until I can find a 24 hour gym I like.
@freemo @absolutus Yeah, I've seen how Israelis drive. I'm not going out on that road with a bike. Looks like suicide to me.
But a gym I can enjoy in the summer and winter would be a good idea.
@Surasanji The netherlands mostly has bike lanes completely seperate from roads. Where that is not the case the roads usually have very little traffic.
@freemo @absolutus There are a couple of bike lanes in some areas of Tel Aviv that are separated by a fairly decent curb. But it isn't universal enough for me to trust the people on the road.
@Surasanji Having access to an enjoyable and easy to get to exercise environment is hugely important to keeping at it. I am lucky because the netherlands has more bicycle lanes than roads. So all i have to do is walk outside my door and I have a 10 mile (16km) track through the woods.
