I feel like the bigg trux klan will just roll extra coal if they see you wearing this honestly idiotic lookig accessory.
Depends on how well it manages to reduce drag. Make me get 5 more kph and we’re talking
Get a recumbent instead, or for maximum speed gains, a velomobile.
Just fill that puppy with helium
Seems like you’d get blown over if there’s any crosswind…
No. I probably should wear those padded crotch pants and clip-in shoes when I do distance but I’m low tech with biking. It’s all about the journey.
The padded pants are non-negotiable to me… I do use clip-ons but cold probably live without it.
For my touring/gravel bike-packing set up, I usually wear bibs under a light-weight pair of shorts and shirt and trail-running shoes. For road bike, I go clipless with lightweight shorts/shirt. Usually we go 50mi or less on road rides, so I don’t really feel like I need a chamois. I have SQ Labs saddles on my bikes. Since I switched, the bike-short padding basically became unnecessary.
Yeah, that’s the one thing a pro biker friend gave me once, a very nice and very expensive bike seat. They look the same but makes a big difference
