Can you be both a slacker and a BAFS participant I could post my stationary bike rides to the slacker club.

Thanks for setting this up! I’m actually hoping to ride to work a little this winter, but not enough to really make freezing saddles worth it.

And the description of teleworking and slippers really hit home for me–that describes me at least 2 days a week

You can be a slacker in spirit, but I think if you’re on a team you can’t officially be a slacker. But slack away

Just remember that only veterans (people who have participated on ar least one prior Freezing Saddles) can be slackers.

Thanks for setting this up, Pete! I joined the team out of an interest in being on the leaderboard/in the system for app testing purposes.

Yeah I’m sure that’s the reason. :rolleyes:

Oddly, I’m the only slacker. I’ve been slack in my recruiting methods…

I finally got around to clicking on the BAFS Slackers Strava link because I’m procrastinating on writing a memo. The same procrastination led me to backfill data for all of my 2016 commutes.

Am I doing this slacker thing right?

Well, you still aren’t managing to slack on the riding as much as PeteD. But otherwise you are a perfect slacker.

A real slacker wouldn’t bother to backfill data.

A real slacker is akin to Schrodinger’s cat. The second he or she does something to identify as such he/she ceases to exist as a slacker.

Did you mean to join? Because while slacking is officially encouraged, you do at least need to authorize the app (at http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize) and join Pete’s Strava club to be counted.

I briefly considered signing up for the slacker team although I haven’t participated in BAFS in the past and I’m not signed up with Strava. Plus I don’t like cold weather. So I will just be a non-participating observer, again. But yesterday, I did manage to ride in DC, Maryland and Virginia, all in the same day. But not continuously. I took Metro in between the jurisdictions, then did some riding in each location.
