    Post your accidents and injuries...lifetime

    My boss always jokingly tells me " don't do anymore dumb shit". Well he's got a point but I usually have justification for what I was doing before I inflict bodily harm. I'll tell my accidents/injuries 1x1 and you share yours. For the record, I like dangerous sports but consider myself...

    The STRUGGLE bus...let's get some positivity going.

    Some of you know, some of you don't. I had a pretty bad head injury in September. Initially I didn't think it was that bad but after this long winter the positives are BARELY outweighing the negatives. Long story short, I fainted at home and hit my head full force on a hardwood floor and got...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    I've been doing some reading and not sure what DJT is trying to accomplish. He says the war on trade is the war on drugs but is it? Why only 10% on China where the fentanyl comes from? maybe because Elon would lose too much money then? I'm glad I'm locked into a 5 year union contract because who...

    A refined passion. Let's share your day trading strategies that work.

    As some of you know my passion is day trading. I completely understand that 90% or more fail at this but I also realize that the few who succeed generally succeed big. I am nearing the few, but it's been a long and painful road. I believe that90% fail because they "gamble". I'm guilty of it...

    Politically parabolic.

    Oh, I figure it's time for another thread. I am putting a 6 month window on my view here but I think the fed may have finally over done it. I'm not making predictions other than I don't think what the fed has done over the last years will be able to be covered up for much longer. I don't believe...

    Everyday diet...need some help.

    I've always been the type to put out a 100% effort on the bike but never into my diet and self. With working in NJ and living in Md my diet hasn't gotten better.

    Heart rate monitor?

    What do you guys use? My original garmin and wahoos each lasted about 3 years each. The last 3 (garmin hrm-pro, wahoo and polar) have all died within 6 months through a year. Willing to try amazon ones just because I am sick of wasting $50 plus each time. The garmin screw also stripped the nut...

    I'm fascinated forever with bikes. I'm not the best but I do recognize trends. Whether talking to people or just observing you can see where things are going.I've noticed lately that endurance racing has died a bit and xc is picking up. Is this because of the competition NICA has created?I've...

    Fads, junk and non essentials.

    Just trying to have an open discussion and try and help people avoid getting taken advantage of with fass, junkie products and just things you don’t need in general. I’ll start with fads. There will be plenty more, but here are some protein shakes, high carb drinks, and gels, beet juice drinks...

    Is a gravel bike slowly reverting back to a mountain bike?

    I have watched the Lifetime Gran Prix the last couple years and have noticed a a gravel convert(Dylan Johnson) running larger and larger tires for gravel races.He's also on a new Felt gravel bike that can fit 2.4 tires. Last year it was a dropbar MTB. Are gravel bikes really just a product dump...

    Tires. My head hangs low and my tail is tucked in shame.

I used them in the marathon nationals for two years and tons of rides and Ringwood and the Frederick water shed. I’ve also chimney rock...

    Latest and greatest sealant?

    I am always looking to try out new products. The first tubeless sealant i ever used was Bontrager TLR. It worked well, but left the sides of tires, looking wet, and slimy. I’ve tried stans but was never a huge fan, not sure why. As far as puncture protection goes, I feel orange seal endurance...
