I have a stationary bike, but I prefer outdoor biking. Virtual is nice, but nothing beats the real thing.

"I had to stop and adjust the new brake cables as they stretched a bit initially. I made sure to set the brake pads properly on the Carr Street hill, but I plan to test them further by riding down 15th Street a couple of times on my next trip. I'll then adjust the pads and stretch the cables as needed. I'm glad I didn't ride the Hastings loop as the Memorial bridge wouldn't be fun with weak brakes.
