I (21f) do a lot of riding; I always choose to go the long way home and I will always choose to ride to where I need to be. And I've finally plucked up the courage to ride with other women that I do not know. I have anxiety, so this is a big step for me... I had to post this as it's such a big deal!! I feel so empowered. I want to keep cycling, in full gothic sports attire and keep living my life. Cycling saved my life. And I thank cycling for that...☺️

I ride an extremely weird bike. It's a hybrid with flat bars, but I added bar-end drops inside of the grips /brakes/shifters to sorta turn it into a gravel bike. I take it on easy trails pretty frequently in addition to my road rides. It also has a few custom designed 3D printed parts on it. I am friends with a few guys who have nice carbon road bikes and who wear proper cycling kit when they're out. I haven't gone for a ride with them yet, but I'm thinking about it. I was also looking into riding with a few cycling clubs in my area and some group rides my LBS does. I saw a post on this sub about going for group rides. The author mentioned that if you weren't using proper cyclist kit you just shouldn't go. While this makes sense (you gotta be able to keep up!) I feel like it might devalue the riders like me a little bit. In my opinion, considering my wacky setup, I'm still just as much of a "proper cyclist" as somebody who's spent more on their bike than they did on their car. As cyclists, we are the people who love to be out on two wheels, traveling whatever distance under our own power. Regardless of our distance or speed records, I think we all deserve to call ourselves cyclists, or roadies, or whatever. Some of use don't have the money for a super nice bicycle. Some of us, like myself, prefer a bicycle that can do a little bit of anything, like my weird machine. I know most people on this sub don't have this mentality, but I know there definitely are some folks out there who are definitely sitting up there on their high horse, or a high bicycle rather. Thank you guys for providing so much advice to everyone who asks! It has been awesome so far to both get questions answered, but also to be able to provide my own advice to people who need it. I love this subreddit and I plan to be an active member for as long as I'm active on Reddit. Y'all are awesome!

Even if you take great care of your bike at home by regularly wiping and lubing your chain, pumping your tires, and watching for excessive wear and tear, your bike will eventually need attention from a trained mechanic.

I had a close call this morning. I don't really have a lot of local cycling buddies, and I don't like to burden my wife with this stuff or she would worry herself to death every time I ride. So I'm venting to you all. There's a curve on my normal route, on a moderately busy road in a residential area. 90 degree curve, really sharp, no stop sign, two lane road with no shoulder, drops off to a ditch on the side, 25 mph speed limit that no one adheres to. It's the sort of section of road that I would normally avoid altogether, except that it's 30 feet from my driveway. Returning from my morning ride, this curve is a right turn. Shoulder check, nothing behind me, so I've got the right lane to myself. Scan ahead, there's a big black truck approaching the curve in the opposite lane. I can tell we're going to traverse it at the same time, so I hug the inside of the curve in case he crosses the center line, which most drivers do in that spot. We both enter the curve at the same time from opposite sides, but as soon as he starts turning, he appeared to jerk the wheel and cross both lanes toward me. I'm certain he actually accelerated. I had to duck a side mirror and tuck in my elbow to keep it from getting clipped by the side of his truck. At that point, he was entirely in the oncoming lane and I was about to go off the road into a ditch to avoid getting run down. By some bizarre function of centrifugal force, I managed to stay on the absolute edge of the blacktop without going straight into the ditch. It really felt intentional, but I can't fathom why that intent would be necessary. He laid on his horn once he was already past me. I didn't lob insults at him as instinct suggested. I could tell he was slowing down trying to find somewhere to turn around, and though I can't possibly imagine what he could be angry about, I've lived in the south long enough to spot an indignant redneck looking for a reason to be angry. As confrontational as I felt in the moment, I decided to remove myself from the situation and rolled into my apartment complex's gate to go cool off. Nothing would be gained from an altercation. So, that's that. Some yahoo tried to murder me with his truck, be it intentional or not, and it rattled me more than the usual close calls and near misses. Please be safe out there.

Ok so I am really excited and have been waiting for this work week to be done since last Saturday when I decided to do this. I feel like sharing this with others because it will mean a lot to me if I actually manage to do this. I had one 110km ride a couple of years back, it was on a hybrid bike with a couple of friends also on different non road bike. The ride was horrible, we all made mistakes which resulted in a couple of falls, nothing serious. We also did not properly plan our route and just used google maps which got us lost multiple times and send us on roads where we had to push our bikes. It took us over 10 hours but we made it. This year I discovered some amazing bike paths close to where I live and this got me back to cycling after a 2 year break ( not counting cycling around the city with my city bike ). I have done a couple of rides between 20 and 50 kilometres ( 12 to 31 miles ). Last ride was 49km in 2hours, this was a mix of gravel roads and nice cycling paths. So this time I am heading in full gear and better prepared : 1. Going on my road bike 2. Pre-planned a route and I will have a map in front of me with voice turn to turn navigation 3. I have better equipment to make it more comfortable ( bib shorts, jersey, clip on pedals and proper sunglasses this time which stick to the face ) 4. Going to have enough water, banana, 1 energy bar and 1 protein bar ​ Now my biggest problem usually is pacing myself. I tend to start cycling too fast and dont realize until I am completely out of breath. So tomorrow I really have to watch out for that. I will definitely also need to take some breaks because my back/neck cant survive being on the bike for that long. So do you lovely people have any suggestions for me? Any advice is welcome, from tips on good snacks for the road up to advice on when to take breaks etc :) Thank you ~~edit: it looks like my ride might not happen. I noticed today that the chain started grinding on the front derailleur, tried to fix it and messed it up even more. now I am stuck and cant get it to shift normally~~ edit 2 : I fixed the god damn derailleur. took me 3 hours to figure out how this works and to sort it out. bikes rides much smoother than before now! chain also cleaned and oiled, im ready.

Greetings all! So today I took my first official rain ride and it was spectacular!!! A little backstory... I've never really enjoyed exercising at all in my life and whenever I was trying to get into better shape, I would find literally ANY excuse to not work out. Fast forward and I'm 4 months into a cycling hobby that I can honestly say is such a welcome addiction! Today, my alarm went off at 5AM for my morning ride and I looked out and saw it raining outside. Welp for the first time in my life, I not only didn't use the rain as an excuse, but I was super excited to go out on my first rain ride to see the different challenges I would be facing. Cycling has literally changed my life and I couldn't be happier! Happy riding all!
