I can't believe that you guys made me go to the shop and pull this off the peg board. It's a little-used Lapize with the red "pull" end. You can tell a "serious" cyclist used it because of the twist in the bottom of the strap. Lapize was a lower quality but an old traditional company.
BTW, I'm trying to eschew my C&V status but you guys keep exposing it.

Casually Deliberate
I've never used a watch to monitor my sleep but I'm very curious since I'm taking a multivitamin but still wake up tired every morning and LoP does too. I briefly wore a fairly cheap FitBit knock-off but that was before I was on blood-pressure medication and I was reaching the cardio range during family disputes on holidays. What kind are you wearing and was it crazy expensive?

So jelly. I've never had that kind of relationship with a cat. Dogs? Yes, but my cats have always preferred whichever old lady was in the house and they've all loved my dad.

Anyway, I’ve been all checked out by my cardiologist and he says I’m fine.

Regarding the earlier discussion about step-through bikes, I have seen men who had balance issues that made it hard to stand on one foot or joint issues that made it difficult to swing their leg over and they still insisted they didn't want a "girl's bike". Clearly, there is no dignity issue in some other countries because the son in the movie "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" - highly recommended by the way - has a step-through bike. Not sure if it was cheaper but it seems a lot more convenient since he makes many stops to buy fish and vegetables and has to carry them all on the bike.

Always good when the cardiologist says you're fine. Mine was much happier after I'd been on the BP meds for a month. I think I scared him the first time cuz he was in a big hurry to write the prescription. I wonder if the yoga I'm doing this semester is also helping.

Of course that’s fine in a cyclist. See if you can change the parameter from <40 to <30.

A 17 yo kid was hit and killed by a car over the weekend. He had recently graduated from high school and was the captain of his school’s MTB team. I’ve known his parents for a long time.
Yes. The overwhelming number of people wore masks. We had a police escort for the open road portion. The rest was on a four lane road that has been closed to cars since restrictions took effect. Plenty of room to spread out.

That's what I told my family doctor when she wanted me to go to the cardiologist. I relented when she pointed out that I hadn't seen him for 4 years and I do have this niggly benign arrhythmia, whatever the Hell that is.
