I’m buying a bike for my wife, who wants to step toes into cycling. She mainly wants some enjoyable longer rides with a bit of off roading, but without spending much. Both these bikes are in the lower end of what second hand bikes costs here, and both are in good condition.

One is obviously much older, 10 speed, but cervelo is known for being good. The other is alloy but carbon wheels, quick release and disc, and cable actuated brakes. So oldest of the disc bikes.

Both are about the same size geometry wise, and does fit (by testing on a hometrainer).

What would you go with?

Plan is to have something for a year or so, before buying something better/newer

Jeg står med et underligt problem. Området jeg bor i er et pænt villakvarter med meget natur.

Det seneste års tid har vi dog stået med en udfordring, bestående af en skovskider. Det startede med en lort i en spand i en grøft. Klamt, men man kunne forestille sig en presset håndværker være presset, eller sådan noget.

Men som tiden gik fandt man lort, tydeligt fra et menneske, og/eller brugt toiletpapir. Dette i et større område af en kilometers radius, der hvor aller flest gående kommer.

Det er simpelthen så klamt, det lugter og er uhygiejnisk som bare fanden.

Men, jeg har ingen ide om hvad man kan gøre ved det. At ringe til politiet virker fjollet, og jeg har ingen andre ide om hvem man kan kontakte.

Det lugter (ha!) meget af noget planlagt da der ni ud af ti gange er toiletpapir samme sted.

Hvad fanden gør man??

I did my firstt long ride of the year today, which was the first ride on a new bike as well. And now my thighs are in agony from the chafing that has caused.

I used to ride a Selle Italia SLR, which never chafed. I’m currently using a Syncros Belcarra v 2.0 on my new bike, which chafes. Same issue on the saddle stock on the Zwift ride, which also chafes

I’ve never used Chamois cream, could that be the issue instead

I cook rice about 4-5 times a week, and have decided to buy a Zojirushi (or if there’s better options today).

Because of how much I use it, I want to spend however much i need to get the best of the best. But, I of course don’t want to spend extra on features I won’t use (I never cook anything but Jasmin, basmati, and sushi rice).

What cooker is best? There’s so many options, and I don’t understand what each does.

I mostly cook 180g, but will on rare occasions go up to 600g (but I’d rather get a smaller unit and cook the larger batches on the stove that one or two times a year).

I’m in EU if that matters for model
