  • I'm gonna be honest if that top reddit post holds true neither being familiar or it being sunny would've saved that one

  • is it

  • he does suck, like, a lot. I know the principled libertarian thing gives him a few sympathy points but my god is this guy a pathos laden idiot

  • This dude is like Forrester for MTBs if anything. Actual Forrester was way too urbanism-headed to think of "bicycle to cross wilderness border" as a use case

  • I mean I'll hand it to him on that one that if you do the non-public transport stuff like roughing it through the wild that's probably really doable

  • traingang @hexbear.net

    Another libertarian gotten by the bicycle, this one's sort of famous, too

  • incredible, there's 2 guys who think trump has the mandate of heaven and they're at odds as to why

  • WOW

    Jump
  • the mfer was wearing glasse and he still couldn't see how that'd've made a better example. People write and draw with straight up charcoal you hack fraud

  • the swiss have solved this issue by calling it a velo. we could also return to velocipéde. Not the bicycles fault everyone got that one wrong

  • Going by the 1968 vienna contract definition which is still in effect: yeah

    "any vehicle which has at least two wheels and is propelled solely by the muscular energy of the persons on that vehicle, in particular by means of pedals or hand-cranks."

    caveat for the electric motor that only supports you pedaling and up to speeds of X with Watts of Y and all but yeah, that's a bicycle.

    I don't even think this is amazon skirting regulations, unless you up-end the entire system you can't really define a bicycle any better. There should be more bicycles like this.

    It has been so long....I thought it was over....alas, the fixie riders have mounted their back-at-it-ing

  • The combination of businesses being instagram parlour, henna tattoo shop, airbnb and then two idiots who put their home adresses instead of their place of business adresses for TRUCK and bakery (not gay or maybe poisoned) really sells it

    EDIT: oh my god that NE appendage that's not even on the lake anymore is a gated community

  • all of this bullshit for it to end up looking like they have an overflooded drainage canal

  • so what makes this bozo american then

  • There's at least one religious, conspiracy brained chud out there looking at this situation and reciting the Shahada now

  • Loud neighbors, the ones above you who dont give a fuck

    I feel like you trade this for the constant drone of lawnmowers and angle grinders in the burbs. Like not even for building the other houses, just somebody in a suburb seemingly always needs to cut stone

  • Pricier Product Resented For Its Higher Quality

  • I swear to god biometric security has to be one of those topics with the largest dissonance between how the general public views it and how experts view it because every expert guide recommends you never do any of it. Even removed from bypassing it with some makeup or an A4 printout of a finger print held at a bit of a distance overriding most of these systems you're still stuck at it's really hard to change your biometrics. Like even if you don't care for your face ending up in any number of databses freely purchaseable to anyone you only have the one. If that gets compromised everything downstream of it being your security is right the fuck out. Most fingerprint sensors don't even check for other biometrics such as "does this have a pulse or somewhat appropiate heat for a human body".

    I am fully aware at least half of the reason to do this is to build a database for natsec pervert reasons

  • I don't think they make Schwalbe Marathons (sorry forgot to include that) or Gatorskins in tubeless but they're just real heavy duty with pneumatic tubes, nigh unkillable.

    That said, if your problem is blowouts on a roadbike due to a pothole I'm guessing that's a snakebite which the above mentioned would provide some protection on because they're heavy and wire-reinforced as hell but doesn't really solve your problem.

    If pothole-on-a-roadbike is your concern I would suggest looking into tubeless. Airless tyres have fucking garbo comfort and rolling resistance according to every review I've ever read while tubeless doesn't and if you hit a pothole so hard your tubeless tyre pops out of the bead enough to be broken your main concern'd probably be not dying rather than the tyre

  • That basically works out along the lines of hoovers where people think if it doesn't scream at you it's cheap. There's really very little technical need for them to do that and how good of a hub they are is also entirely removed from that question

  • I can't speak to this one specifically but unless you try to MTB a mountain of broken glass I think Schwalbes or Gatorskins'd do you plenty fine. There's a reason airless tyres on a bicycle never really gotten anywhere so far and it's because they suck hella ass according to everybody who tried them

    Every "fear" that car drivers have around bicycles is real, but only for bicyclists
