'cause the UCI are dickheads and want to live in 19..f@#k!ng..10. Let fixate on sock height, frame weight, aero tuck and shifter angles, but ignore road furniture, dickhead crowds assaulting riders and fine riders when the organisers cant organise (looking at you Vuelta)

Nope! Nope, nope, nope... errrr NOPE!

Nope, it's Disney....

Great app. I often go where there is no connectivity so I can still play music. My only wish was that the resume on play lists is better. It's kinda guess which song you were last on and you have to tap this dinky link that drops away pretty quick.

I paid for the app as I'd rather give LR my $$$ than the d!(kh3@ds at Google.

If you are serious about training, Training Peaks is probably a great alternative. Strava is the Facebook of activity apps so not really great if you're committed. There is a free plan for TP, but I'm not sure what the limitations are... I pay for it and can track the history of the key metric that matter to me such Power, Heart Rate, Training Zones, Freshness, Power bands etc. There are a LOT of analytical graphs to provide insights into your progress. The key is the more data you collect, the more value there is. i.e. Sleep tracking, weight, HRV, cadence etc.

Asus is trash. The last "gaming" laptop I bought could not be upgraded and the performance was terrible for the specs. Never Asus again.

...cause he's F-A-B-U-LOUS!

Management Summary of indoor tech. Zwift gets expensive and frankly can be a bit wanky... sold as this online happy family. Most of the time you're just in the hurt locker anyway. Try IndieVelo as an alternative. Actively under development, GREAT anti-cheat feature and it's free (for now). Graphics is a bit dated, but you get over it. Also may I suggest investing in TrainingPeaks as this is the go-to app for people that train (there is a free version with limitations) . Strava is the Facebook of cycling and ads little value other than 'Look at my ride". TrainerRoad is for hardcore trainers that have solid goals. Boring as bat shit so you'll likely pair it with something like indieVelo or Zwift anyway to beat the boredom. They do have AI FTP, which has pro's and con's. (Research is suggesting that FTP is not as good a reflection of Functional Threshold and some coaches only work off Critical Power and Max Aerobic Power) There are many other apps, but I guess these are probably the main one's. Also most of the value come from Power Meters and trainers. GPLama and DC Rainmaker are the authority on accuracy on this stuff. Research Power Meters and Indoor Trainers on their websites as there are lots of snake oil manufacturers.

Now go and be awesome...

What! No try, catch ()?

I can't believe governments and companies put such a "price" on people's health. I must say the news about the US Health System is also echoed by all the other US companies I have dealt with in my professional capacity. Profits before people and sales before outcomes.

I/We avoid using them when we can...

So gambling is how a nation defines itself? Not science or innovation or having the brightest students or the most entrepreneurial business people or producing the most food but gambling on farm yard animals.... Wow, that's weak!
