发帖数: 420 | 1 说实话从气候角度讲，这边不是太适合户外运动，
主要是因为雨季太长，虽然一般都不是大雨，但还是严重妨碍户外运动的进行。
比如biking，雨天骑车其实不是很安全和方便，运动舒适性就更别提了。
而且Great Seattle area地势普遍比较hilly，对普通骑自行车的来说，
是个比较大的挑战。
又比如hiking，也是受雨季影响比较大。传统上完全dry的只有三个月，
其它时间就要撞大运。当然，由于拥有North cascade和 Olympic Mountains，
对climbers来说这边算是乐园。但是乐园也是有season的，冬天深秋早春的时候
一般的climbers也是猫冬的。
喜欢ski/snowboard的同学还算幸福，毕竟这里有real mountains，
搞backcountry ski算是乐土。
喜欢水上运动的同学可能不会太happy，pacific ocean水温比较低，
这里又偏北，能进行水上运动的那都是tough guys。
我认识不少人都是候鸟，冬天来这里滑雪，夏天去加州冲浪，
不过咱们普通人，是过不了这种浪漫生活的。 |

Jamison Stone's father says the hog his son killed weighed a 1,051 pounds

Think hams as big as car tires.
If the claims are accurate, Jamison's trophy boar would be bigger than

遇到红灯时，右脚踩刹车停下来。等红灯时，左脚移过来踩住刹车，然后右脚放开。等
到变绿灯时，左脚依然踩住刹车不动，右脚轻轻加油。等到离合器片接触，你会感觉车
子做势欲起但又动不了，此时放开刹车，车子自然就出去了。
也可以用 parking brake（必须是手拉的，而非脚踩的那种），如果坡度不陡的话。建

发帖数: 3721 | 5 这个纯粹是开车经验和技巧问题，跟车型，包括minivan，没有任何关系。
担心溜车，手动档多用手刹，松离合踩油门感到有阻力的时候再松开手刹，不用管脚刹
，手刹在起作用，这样最省心。以前不会用手刹的时候，还是很忙活的。
自动档都有坡起功能的。没坡起功能的，可以用parking brake充当手动挡的手刹，一
样好用。我用过。 |

It is high elevation and hilly (serious hills). It starts from 4500 ft and

with frequent road rage against cyclist. He was well known for it. In one
incident, he hit the brakes hard on purpose and one cyclist crashed into his
rear windown and one flew over his car and landed in the road.
The verdict came out couple of days ago. Guilty on all 6 counts. Possible 5-
10 years of jail time.

发帖数: 13580 | 25 I'm less concerned about the number of speeds, but more about the gear ratio
range. My current ride is a compact double (50-34) x 12-26. It has a very
good coverage for me considering I do some moderate to hilly climbs but
seldom fast rides on flats. I am fairly happy with the setting. But it is a
bit tricky to adjust such a rig and it's also tricky to shift because the
overlapping is very small. |

Now I konw what I can do:
1. Should be able to keep 19mph in 112miles for next month's race.
2. Be able to lead 22mph steady pace in a pack for 5 minutes.
3. Control muscle crapping by stretching while riding.
What I yet to train myself:
1. Evenly distribute energy in the whole course.
2. Deal with head wind.
3. Mentally get used to a long, flat and boring course.

I don't think $89.99 MTB would work properly. Market in US/EU is relatively

$200 is about the price for an entry level hybrid bike from reliable brands.

I don't think it has anything to do with cycling over the winter. It is

If I remember correctly, you ride a singlespeed before. I personally find
singlespeed is more demanding for knees especially on a hilly course.
And someone says Speedplay are good pedals which reduce the pressure on knee
while cycling. Might worth to give it a try when you come back.

关于tan line，有些地方很少阳光明媚。所以tan的机会非常少。即使人家骑很多，也
未必能够tan到。还有些人，因为工作忙等原因，只能在家骑trainer，也晒不到。
不是所有人都能负担得起好车的。在本地，我也见过不少车非常的一般甚至可以说是很
差，但是骑得很好的。
至于骑得好坏，每个人无论是新手还是高手都是一步一步走过来的。你看到骑得慢的，

他之前受了伤，正在恢复期。
