Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.

I'll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.

I can basically ride a bicycle forever as long as I eat and drink enough, until the lack of sleep overwhelmes me.

People keep commenting on how extremely fit I must be.
But honestly, if you find the right pace it's like a brisk walk, and if your bike and your clothes fit, it's more comfortable than that.

I would think the environment factors into that a lot too. I've had 30 mile rides kick my ass more than 80 mile rides due to things like hills and wind. But put me on a stationary bike and I could probably go 150+ miles in a day.

I actually do. I participated in a 1-day 250km group ride in the Netherlands recently. But I did it on easy mode with a road bike, there were people riding a traditional baker's bike (including the box) while wearing wooden clogs.

I don't think I ever saw someone wear clogs there. Bicycling on an omafiets/opafiets is the way to do it.
