2023 cycling week 33

I picked up my new e-bike on Monday. I rode it every day since. I love it and only want to ride it. But with the bucket panniers, it is big and wide. Now I want a speedier, more sporty e-bike.

First full ride on the Fetch. Still learning how to use it well. Rode with Tour+
I think it over estimates mileage and under estimates heart rate. Flow app showed heart rate at 120. Apple Watch showed heart rate at 140-149.

Wednesday
Mostly clear, 77°F, Feels like 87°F, Humidity 95%, Wind 4-10mph from ESE - by Klimat.app
A little slower, still fun.
Muscles are sore from new riding position. I raised my seat some.
Activity on Apple Watch turns off when bike stops. Very annoying.
11.2 miles
13.6 mph


Thursday
Cloudy, 75°F, Feels like 82°F, Humidity 96%, Wind 5-9mph S
Handlebars still wobble. At 9 miles, they became very loose and I had to hold them up for the last two miles.
Realized that the heart rate stays at the initial reading if I use the Apple Watch activity app.
11.2 miles
14.1 mph

Friday
Partly cloudy, 74°F, Feels like 80°F, Humidity 96%, Wind 5-8mph from SSE
A little cooler. Windier.
Handlebars moved a little halfway through the ride. Why do they loosen up so easily?
11.4 miles
14.3 mph

Saturday
Partly cloudy, 73°F, Feels like 82°F, Humidity 98%, Wind 2-6 E
Tightened the handlebars again. Feel like the seat keeps slipping. I don't feel it when ai am riding, I just notice it when I start in the morning.

Fresh Market to get honey
