Re:Myths in Cycling (1): Wider Tires Are Slower (2018)

Does there need to be scientific evidence to convince you? Maybe you should do a time trial test up a mountain with flats vs clip less. Clip less provides the ability to apply power through the bottom of the stroke, which provides significant benefits when going uphill. Furthermore, you don’t need to worry about keeping proper position on the pedal as you do with flats, which is actually a non trivial mental burden, especially during high torque times like sprints. If you’re just cruising on a flat, flats are fine, but if you plan to be riding seriously on uphills and doing sprints, clipless is the way to go.

Cold constricts blood vessels, increasing blood pressure. Combine that with the fact that shoveling is mostly strenuous on your arm muscles —- where upper body exercise causes an increased HR and BP as compared to lower body exercise [0].

I've used this data modeling framework in Java that's similar to GraphQL: https://github.com/perfectsense/dari. I've found it leaps and bounds more productive than most ORM's and the debug tools are top notch.
