At the ci nutrition seminar presented in association with ndc. Wonder if they will recommend drinking milk

anyone know how strava calculates calories burned? two near identical cycles - same route, one done at 26kph, one done at 25.7kph average, the faster one was calculated at 378 calories and the slower one at 458. do they just pluck a figure out of the air?

Turned out to be quite informative! Fair play to ci and ndc.

Not really.. but yes

There are some maths related to avg speed and body weight but it's not the most reliable number in my experience.

magicbastarder

i reckoned it was never going to be accurate, but i had assumed they'd be consistent in their inaccuracy.

dont HR and celcius play a part in it, but yeah its far from exact science

The weight of the bike has a very heavy weighting in the strava calculation

I don't have a heart rate monitor. All Strava has is the GPS data and my weight. Didn't know they took in weather info.

eeeee

Oh now that's interesting:

Left-hand drive? Motors? Someone will win a major bicycle race on a Suzuki in the next few years.

Pffft! Slack chain!

eeeee

I think it's great! I haven't heard of this much research and innovation going into a high performance bike for women specifically.

It also looks class (slack chain notwithstanding!). Like a knife.
I'd totally ride it!

Why are bikes right hand drive in the first place as a matter of interest?

tomasrojo

I asked about the right-hand drive thing before. Think it's because of standard of screwing things on righty-tighty (old screw-on freewheel would come off if on left, for example, unless non-standard thread used to make it lefty-tighty). Motorbikes are the opposite because clutch requires the space on the right. Or something. I don't know how motorbikes work. I will soon though, because bicycles are turning into motorbikes, as I said.

That will completely turn around the "Images of Beauty" thread;)

Wonder if others will follow suit post Rio. Justifies me holding off an upgrade anyway

Garmin Connect often gives twice the calories burned as Strava on the same activity! :rolleyes:

magicbastarder

one reason i half trusted strava was that if you go to any online calculator and put in say, one hour of cycling at 25kph, it would tell you you'd burned double the calories strava would calculate for it. and i just found the lower figure more believable; but it was interesting how consistent it was, that the strava estimate is typically half found anywhere else.

Do you have a "legacy site" option? If so I would suggest clicking on it to bring you back to where you were

Yes, reverse threading wasn't invented until after the bicycle was invented/developed but by then it had become the traditional side for manufacturers.

It's a female-specific bike.

What sort of 'upgrade' are you considering?

Eamonnator

I've seen BMXs with the chainring on the left.
Not sure why.

That one may be women specific, but if successful the concept of LHD for track bike may catch on. No point in upgrading now if the technology post-Rio changes the way pursuit-specific bikes are designed going forwards

No.
Apparently, it's for "grinding", whatever that is.
