Long Wheel Base Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 What's the opinion on this? I sometimes take my lightie for a ride in the evenings/weekends. Have a old 26inch with a seat on the back. Did 10km with him yesterday. Commute or not?

Did 10km with him yesterday. Commute or not?negative on the commute.... However the fix is easy, stop off somewhere for an ice cream cone and the issue is fixed. WIN WIN!
Bateleur1 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Posted February 5, 2018 Commute basically is riding to work / shops / appointments where you normally would have used other forms of transport. Going to the shops to buy groceries with your kids would be fine or dropping of newspapers with your kids would also be seen as a commute but from what LWB said would consitute a normal ride in my book.
Flemish Lion Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I was meeting someone at Lanseria airport to pick up a cassette I bought - he then whatsapped me he's flying from ORT - but had he not could I have claimed a 100 km commute as I fitted it in on my Saturday training ride... tricky one... I'd say NO.

Flemish Lion Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 It's a no from me. Of course you'd say no as I would have jumped over you But if I didn't have a bike I would have to drive out there - hence I'd say it's borderline!

Hairy Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 #WinterIsComing ....... CWC are selling a 1000lumen front light for R399 .... get it now if you can as the mornings are getting darker and a decent front light will be needed soon. https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/bicycle-light-1000-lumens
Imploder Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Look at it this way ... I am 1,86m tall, weigh in at about 84kg. Under normal day to day activity, my body burns about 2400 kilo calories per day. I did not have too much problems commuting in SA as my distances were shorter but when I started commuting the 35 km one way here I very quickly developed a problem. Everytime I commute, I cycle per day about 2,5 hours which in turn means I burn just in those 2,5 hours anything between 2000 and 2200 kilo calories extra, over and above my normal burn rate. You need to put a large part of that back into you body. Otherwise come day 3 you WILL realise you have a problem. It might be a good idea to use a Calorie counting app like FatSecret or even Garmin Connect might have something just to track you daily activity and what you eat so that you get an idea of what you take in and what you spend. It helps you get a better idea of what to eat under what conditions. You don'T have to constantly use the app. The moment you formed the habit you continue as per normal.Thanks for this! This site is really cool. I'm amazed at how far under by recommended intake I am. The issue now is that lugging more food around is going to make my commute tougher-er. Diet wise - what are you guys eating to up your calorie intake?

Can't say that I really had to up my calorie intake. I did learn to look at what calories would fill me better. Pap is heavy in calories btw. Lately I am looking into upping my protein portions. Looking at tuna sandwiches and something with chicken and beans.
I FLY Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Can't say that I really had to up my calorie intake. I did learn to look at what calories would fill me better. Pap is heavy in calories btw. Lately I am looking into upping my protein portions. Looking at tuna sandwiches and something with chicken and beans. When I used to commute 50kms a day my food intake was:- Bowl of yogurt and raw oats before leaving home Piece of cheese and a small yogurt at teatime. Bread roll and peanut butter at lunchtime. Tin of tuna at afternoon tea Supper consisted of multiple vegetables and some meat. But a portion size thatwould fit into a soup bowl. In the beginning ( six weeks) I lost 6kgs in weight but thereafter it stabilised.
