  • Sorry for the late reply…

    Grains are pretty high in protein content. However, oils (e.g. fried foods), sweets and fruits and often pretty low in protein. If you are eating a “what ever I crave” vegan diet with processed foods mixed in, you will easily land below that threshold.

    For example, my wife tracks her food sometimes (for a couple weeks each) and she often lands below her recommended target. She is not eating badly but also not suuuper clean and still, she often does not reach her recommended protein amount.

    Bottom line is: You can easily be eating “not enough” protein. However, most of the time it will not lead to big problems. But in the long run, this might get problematic. Every person - vegan or not - has to plan their diets well and think about what they eat at least a little. “Being vegan” is not a magic wand of nutrition. We still need to consider what we eat every day.





  • Yes this is true, but only if you almost exclusively eat WHOLEFOOD plant based with only little added fats.

    I generally agree with the underlying sentiment that it is not too complicated to get your needed protein on a plant diet, but it is totally possible to not reach the recommended amount if you are just eating random stuff.



  • On the topic of fatigue: They to eat enough. It sounds silly, but you burn quite some calories while riding a bike and you will need to fuel yourself. Have something with carbs after the ride or even a snack during. You will also get used to it more and more over time. The first rides are always the hardest.

    And it might really not be possible in the place where you live, but prefer smaller paths/roads over the main roads. It might add a couple of km to your ride but you will reach your destination much more relaxed.

    Wish you all the best.







  • Normally, the isn’t a dedicated FW for right&left. There is just one FW for both and you flash that to both halves. The KB determines which side is right and which is left by either the half the USB cable is connected to ( e.g. FW is configured with “USB half is right side”) or by flashing a small marker to the EEPROM of the controllers to mark them as right/left (this marker us not part of the FW, look for EE_HANDS in the QMK docs).

    Flashing with the .uf2 file provided by the webpage, you should get the default behavior of the keyboard and it should generally be working.

    If you want to change any behavior (like key layout or anything) you would need to flash the halves with your own config of QMK anyways. That is kind of the neat thing about custom KBs - you can configure your device to your liking.
