I know there’s a perpetual debate about #cycling #helmets and I would never dream of forcing anyone else to where one forcibly. However, today I was cycling home and I was passing a couple of pedestrians on a shared path on a bit where some of it had been blocked off. As I got into the narrowed lane, I noticed too late that there was a very heavy low hanging branch on which I banged my helmeted head quite hard (I mean loudly).

It was hot..i was slow..but the world was beautiful and i finished my 17k route again. The air is full of tiny insects, making it sometimes complicated to breath esp when one lands in the nose lol.
I have seen deers, rabbits and a young fox and lots of micro toads. :3 strava.com/activities/16514145 #running #runner #mastorunner #run #barefoot #vibram

I don't want to go back to #Strava, I don't want to use #Runalyze anymore because I can't self-host the app (not #opensource anymore). So, what I do ? #Running #Sport

There are 2 main rivaling programs to handle your scientific references. One is free/libre software (#Zotero), the other is not (#Mendeley). Guess which one you should use?

Hint: if you use the closed source one, it will encrypt your article-database and not give you the possibility to decrypt and export it.

OpenCycleMaps shows us just how much cycling infrastructure there is in the Netherlands compared to the rest of the world. Urban planners should ask themselves how many people should be transported through the city, not how many cars #opensource #openstreetmaps

Did a 20km bike ride this morning, hoping to cram in some swimming before I'm back in the office. Been letting it slide a bit lately, gotta do something if I can't run.

Few things scare me more than those who can spend their whole life without ever challenging the dominant dogma even once, those whose lives are spent in obedient pursuit of what the system wants them to want.

New rock climbing routes in Boulder and Joshua Tree, generated by a neural network. I like that you can tell which list is which, if you're familiar with both areas.

This is clearly better than "all rights reserved" but don't let it fool you into thinking this is what the general spirit of "open source" is about.

After two months I stopped exercise/diet - had minor surgery done and didn't want to do anything but I've been on this plateau for about a month now. So you're right about it.

> If you want something for cardio.. try a pyramid run.

I'll try it out, thanks!
I am doing similar stats where I do a brisk walk at 5.5km/h for about 5 min, then jog at 6.5km/h for one minute, back to 5.5km/h for 5 minutes etc. Looks like you make yourself increment more with this.
