Kinda skeptical if he was actually 114 though.

From Wikipedia:

Guinness World Records refused to include Singh in its record book because he could not produce his birth certificate to prove his age. Birth records were typically issued in villages in India at the time.[31][32]

That said, fuck cars

What road bike should I get? Canyon, Trek, Giant, etc. Are they all the same? Would a used bike tuned up be better than a new one aswell?

What about getting a new bike in that price range?

I haven't tried drop bars yet but when I was cycling with flat bars, my wrists were a bit sore at the end/

I plan to look for a bike for fitness and maybe commuting aswell.

Also, your goal to do a century in a few months as a runner, should be no problem! I went from ZERO riding experience only a few years ago to a metric century in under a month. A year later, 240+km in a single ride. This year, I hope to break 300km. Riding is fun! Enjoy, and yes, don’t overtrain!

I'm a pretty shit runner but compared to the population, its above average. About overtraining, how many times in a week do most people bike for fitness? Is cycling everyday pretty normal? I'm planning to do marathon rides 3x a week for now and slowly increase frequency in a week. My 15 mi ride was because I got hungry so I don't know yet my potential.

We have jaywalking already but that's more of a gray area tbh

Where do I start with cycling? I come from a running background and I recently started cycling due to an injury. My longest rides as of now are 15 miles in 1.5 hours. I hope to cycle a century in a few months or so. But I've only been using a random bike that I've inherited.

What bike should I buy? My budget is 600 - 800$ and I only bike on road and flat surfaces. I have no idea on what brands or what parts are good. Should I get fitted at a bike shop? Should I build my own one?

Also, is overtraining a thing in biking? In the running world, injuries are pretty easy to get if you increase mileage too quickly but I'm not sure if this applies to biking aswell. Is there some sort of program that builds you up to ride for longer similar to Couch to 5K (C25K)?

I just finished C25K, Week 5, Day 3 last week. During the run, I had a very slight knee pain that I was able to push through without any problems. After the run, I had a slight ache on the bottom left part of my knee only the left leg whenever I was walking. When I tried running or squats, it hurts more than walking. I t

Now I skipped strength training and running two times of this week. I train at Tu/Th/Sat and I already skipped the first two due to the pain. Should I run on Saturday when the pain goes off or should I run next week? Maybe I should rest for longer? I'm planning to get fitted for running shoes next week.

Other details:

  • I started in the middle of March
  • Running Program: C25K
  • Strength training: r/bodyweightfitness Reccomended Routine
  • Repeated the first 3 weeks of C25k and also skipped the 3rd day on the first 3 weeks.
  • Normal BMI
  • I run in worn out knockoff nikes.
  • I run in a soccer field or pavement depending on availability. No trails around here.
  • Cadence is 150 according to Nike Run Club (app) but I haven't counted it yet
  • Pace is 12 minutes/mile or 8 minutes/km. In hours, 5mph or 7.5kph
