Popular Post Paulo Mesquita Posted April 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2021 Yep, 3 days of heavy rain and no rides. I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms: cold sweats, nightmares with broken wheels, shivers and tremors, etc. I've even joined a RA (riders anonymous) group in my neighborhood. This is getting really tough o endure if the rain keeps pouring down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wheel is my precious and, for now, I don't know and don't have anyone that knows how to fix it if something goes wrong.

Rawnei Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Get cozy, prepare some lube and paper towels, watch some EUC videos and enjoy yourself! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive ridden tons of cars for 40 years and I've never liked riding in the rain... It's really my no-no... But I do need to learn how to dismantle a, wheel and fix it. In due time I'll get to it when mine are out of the warranty... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a real addiction until it forces you to do something you don't want to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all thoughts like "it's freezing, snowing and there is 20 cm of fresh snow, perhaps I should not ride today" are thrown out of a window before they can even fully manifest in your head? (Luckily, it's about 10C now here, but what if...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFartRides Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Paulo, surely you can find an open pavilion, gym, parking garage, or even do balancing training in your house ? hang in there, buddy ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantraguy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Time to go exploring! Maybe you can find some underground parking garages or break into an unused warehouse somewhere for your EUC fix (I'm not suggesting any illegal behaviour though)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unipilot69 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Get an Mten3. Ride it indoors. Maybe sneak a ride through the supermarket pushing a shopping trolley. I've ridden mine in the rain. They seem to be decent at handling the rain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
