miles
luddite
happy to be so
Same for me … though i’d happily move to km for driving if we ever switched.
I find generally that single sporters like runnists (road) and cyclists are always miles and triathletes (and ultra runners) are kms. I came to endurance via tri so slotted straight into kms … for all the clear and irrefutable reasons above!
The Germans use litres/100km, which is even more confusing.
I’m in a right mess.
Bike has always been miles and mph. Except on zwift so I can get faster xp, that’s in km and I hate it.
Running I used to be miles then the Mrs shared watch and wanted it in km.
I did find that better for pacing… And I can generally convert on the fly run paces… Then when I’ve finished my running on kms, I upload to strava in miles and upset everyone with my 9.95 mile runs etc
I love doing 155-159km rides.
Did three of them last year.
Really gets on people’s tits.
I’m bilingual, was taught metric at school, imperial at home. Am happy using both for most things.
When I started running and cycling I used miles, switched to metric for the run about 8years ago, but still use miles for cycling.
I worked in a petrol station “pumping gas” when it switched from gallons to litres, got very good at my 4.54609 times tables
I’ve never been a round up person. I stop when I stop and the numbers land wherever they do.
That’s actually what I meant to type.
Anyone else never know which is imperial and which is metric?
Bike and run - miles for distance/speed/pace; metres for elevation/ascent
Total (non)sense
Petrol, cars, more obsolete concepts
As obsolete as rim brakes?
Thats going way too far!
Having said all that, I’ve only just chucked out my old AF sockets.
Whats an AF socket?
Not sarcasm, but perhaps Enforcing your point
Imperial sized. 3/8ths, 9/16ths, two ferrets and a nadge and a half, that kind of thing
Classics car and bike folks will have them.
Ah yeah I think I have some marked in mm and some in furlongs.
