7bicycles

It's a bicycle, also it's a boat, also it's a camper.

One off concept vehicle for now, but you can pre-order one for 18.000€, which I can't tell if it's expensive for a bike, or like reasonable for an amphibious vehicle, or pretty good for a camper.

Here's a look at it by some youtuber

I cross the border on this and immediatly 3 different police jurisdictions get into a shootout over what kind of licenses I need to operate this thing. I am taunting them the whole way by riding in shallow water, further complicating the situation.

Man I want one.

Scholars have discussed this issue for eons, if I bolt a DshKA to a cargo bike, is it a technical? We need to find an answer

How the hell was that popular for a while with the exact same crowd that cries terrorism if a bike lane is put in. I can't get an angle on how that wasn't immediatly shouted down, it's not like 10 years ago people were less carbrained. Even via racism I can't seem to find a reasonable explanation

I mean he's not a leftist. I'm ignoring the constant sexual harassment and latent homophobia that seems to permeate the entire show and pretty much every character here and also that he's like a huge dick, but all his criticisms of people, the system and the world are oddly leftist. Never really noticed when I watched it back in it's heyday.

How the fuck is all western MREs 30€-a-meal tacticool m4 extrem trail hike: school schooter edition when, going by sold out online listings, I could get a chinese self heating hot pot for like 5 eurodollars?

These things would be insanely convenient to just toss in my bike bag and have a warm vegan meal on a cold days bike ride

When the spotlights to out I'm invisible,
I'm a superstar, baby, you can google that,
My guest bathroom, full of my trophies,
neon coloured outfit so nobody misses me,
broken voice, because I'm talking way to loud,
I've gotta be an individual, otherwise they'll change me out
I'll stand on a table or start to throw fists
Why again is the conversation not about me?

I wave with both arms like a shipbroken man,
if everybody isn't looking I'm not really there,
I have 3 siblings but I am only child,
The only thing, that shuts me up is:

Applause, Applause, Applause,
Applause, Applause, Applause,
Applause, Applause, Applause,
is Applause, Applause, Applause,

Applause is a drug, the first hit comes free
Straight from the delivery room my first word was "me"
"Mama, watch jump this" she says "Super, dear"
"There is no boy on the world that does it as well as you"
Crayon-paintings nicer than the garbage at the louvre
Gold medals for my first attemps maneouvering,
I stare at my watch as soon as other people talk,
and because I can't be seen I'm afraid of the dark

I wave with both arms like a shipbroken man,
if everybody isn't looking I'm not really there,
I have 3 siblings but I am only child,
he only thing, that shuts me up is:

Applause, Applause, Applause,
Applause, Applause, Applause,
Applause, Applause, Applause,
is Applause, Applause, Applause,

My Therapist looks at me and says "mh-mh, aha"
I look forward to my funeral because I'll be the superstar,
Name your children after me and also some streets in berlin,
For this behaviour, they prescribed ritalin, today

Applause, Applause, Applause,
Applause, Applause, Applause,
Applause, Applause, Applause,
is Applause, Applause, Applause,

I've posted about the buffallo before, which is like a relief aid bicycle for poor nations, but here's Seth of Berm Peaks reviewing it, with details I didn't know hitherto. I posted about it before and it is fascinating to me so here you go.

To give context on seth here, he's quite obviously not a comrade, but he's also not a shit. Ad sponsors, yes, but I'd argue he always does point out you don't need all the expensive shit, it's just nice.

I think this might come as close to the nigh-perfect general purpose post-apocalypse vehicle as you can get. Seems thought-through. But read the other threads for possible critcisms on it.

There's twelve subsequent parts annoyingly made without a playlist but dude's killing it with these

Apparently an adaption of an old yiddish song, arbetslose marsh. You can hear the similarities.

You'd think we're all terrible online debatelords but I don't think any of us could beat 5 consecutive comments of "I see you have no more arguments left, good sir, and shall now disengage" while they're too raving mad to actually pull through

If you read the general internet it's all mobbed up guys stealing cars from law-abiding single mothers for no reason at all but then again if I believed the general public about parking violation enforcement here in germany I'd come to the conclusion they're the new jews.

So how bad is that whole privatized towing / enforcement thing, really? Is there an actual problem beyond "it's a private company" or is it mostly carbrain tears?

You plug this into your bicycle dynamo and out comes electricity to charge your shit with if you're going at least 12kph ~7,5mph.

Very cool for people who do multi day bike tours and having tested one personally: Yeah, rules!

You might have to do some finnicking with a powerbank that doesn't require you to replug it after it stops charging - I mean you're gonna go below 12kph eventually - but hey, you get some volts out of it to keep your phone or whatever other tech going if you're on a multi day ride with sparse outlets

Here's some data if you're into that sort of thing
