Zizzo Liberte - folding bike

[A2022]

December weather in Ohio hasn’t been great for biking, but today was an exception. I took my beater bike with mud tires to the mountain bike trails and had a blast. After nine months on OMAD, I’ve noticed a subtle boost in energy this month, with more sustained, steady power. Some sources say this happens as the body cleans itself and the pancreas becomes more efficient at maintaining proper blood sugar levels. I burned over 1,500 calories on the bike and ate three pieces of fruit. Normally, I’d stop for my favorite burger on the way back, but I wasn’t hungry—if I’m not hungry, I’m not eating. I had a Cliff bar in plane and thought about my favorite flying and biking adventures, realizing the ones that stood out were when I explored the unknown and biked for 3 or 4 days. Today was just a regular day of local flying, mainly for exercise and fun. The high temperature at John Bryan State Park was 8°C, and it was perfect. For clothing, use layers as you can shed them as needed, and have some glove options. The mud tires were great on the trails. You will definitely need to work harder when using mud tires as rolling resistance is greater. I had some minor thigh burning on the way back to the airport—that’s exactly what you want!

The easiest way to remove dried mud from the tires is by riding through a wet snow pile. Larger mud tires can make the bike tip easily when the kickstand is extended, so I’ll print a couple of new kickstand ends to have different options.

I enjoyed a nice 30-mile bike ride today, though it was windy when I arrived, with 17-knot winds gusting to 25. Temperatures in Springfield reached 9°C. No photos this time since I forgot my phone—and my music. I stopped for my favorite burger and spent half an hour chatting with a friendly lady at the coffee shop. By late afternoon, the winds eased, and the airport grew busier. I’d parked in my usual spot, directly behind a LearJet, applied my gust locks as usual, and used the Kansas nose wheel chock. When I returned, the LearJet was gone, my nose wheel had fully rotated, but the chock turned with it and held the plane securely. I love it when everything just works! All in all, a very nice day. I didn’t ride this particular bike today, but I did fit the kickstand extension—it fit perfectly, and I only needed to print one.

Exercising in Zone 2 for three hours a week has been shown to be great for your health, and honestly, it just makes you feel good.

Grab a bike, load it onto your plane, and take off to explore!

Zizzo is growing. I think it is a good value bike. I like the Zizzo Liberté model.
