The Cyclists/ebikers

  1. I was wondering about this issue. I never used to have this issue. But perhaps with phone technology and the newer phones with a gazillion megapixels capability, pictures are now too data heavy.

    Own a high quality mirrorless camera. Resolution is super impressive but the camera on my iPhone 15 is a pretty decent compromise.
     
  2. Nice one.
    Or, if you have a windows laptop use the snip tool, copy then paste. My phone is pretty old now, so maybe that's why I've not had the issue.

  3. No, you have to manually resize large pics.

  4. I manually resized the two photos I used.
     
  5. I know this isn’t the wanted/for sale area, but it is the cyclists thread. So apologies if this needs moving.

    There is a possibility I might go with friends to Majorca for a cycling holiday next year. So I’m on the lookout for a hard case to fly my road bike. I’m not keen on eBay, if anyone has something surplus I’d be pleased to hear from them.
     
  6. You can hire a hard case if you prefer.

    I used to use the soft bags and reinforce with cardboard. Not sure on the regulations now but we were forced to remove CO2 canisters at the airport after they were found by the x ray checks.

  7. Thanks for the link, if I don’t find a used one, I will probably rent. It’s possible my LBS might rent them out.

    Id have assumed you couldn’t take cartridges on a plane, but BA allow up to four 28 mg cartridges in the hold, although I generally use a mini pump.

  8. This morning I got up an hour earlier and used my new Keiser M3i spin bike. I did a 30 minute Tabata class from YouTube.

    My I sweated like never before, even in a sauna.

    I’m hoping that 30/45 minute sessions when I can’t get out on the road will reduce the number of days I don’t exercise at all.

  15. Yesterday we cycled up the hill from Ludwell to Compton Abbas Airfield to watch a mate fly around in a Spitfire.

    The previous attempt at this hill, back in 2017 was 11 minutes and this one was 7 minutes 32 seconds and didn’t involve any walking. Very pleased with the effort. Yesterday’s ride also saw me pass the 100,000 ft climbed this year.

  17. Well done...:upyeah: We need more info and pics re this Spitfire!
     
  18. I have loads, but they all need resizing before uploading. Our friend who went on the flight absolutely loved the experience, as did his friends and family.
