biden was old
I mean yeah. Still is. At least add a "too" in there or something
running both a rear rack crate and panniers of any kind that are easily removable is a huge ergonomical hassle at best
Honestly if I were just going "throw anything into it" I'd just go standard issue bicycle milk crate or cage or similar, seems much less a hassle.
The best theory I've heard so far is that the UK never had a revolution or something similar, it's always just concessions to the working class just before they just guillotine everyone - historically. As such, feminism in the UK sprouted largely not from some sort of class based consciousness but from like proto-girlboss bullshit of aristocratic women, as such, the underlying theme isn't liberation, it's keeping your place in the hierarchy.
I'm gonna say you're gonna end up like that girl that supposedly made herself lactose tolerant, just as like a shock therapy. It's going to suck but you're gonna be immune to insane amounts of fiber after
I started reading at the highlighted part and it did take me a while to figure out which germany this was talking about
I think this is most commonly found in suburbians who think letting their kid go out of the yard with no adult supervision is throwing them to the wolves
If you were serious about checks and balances the judiciary would have a standing army. Failing that now's the time to remember you can deputize basically anybody into USMS service. Get cracking
Okay I do want someone to do a meta study about why everyone is suddenly the worst driver. My two guesses are COVID and an increase in delivery drivers due to the ever expanding gig economy but I don't have any way to know.
I also want this study but delivery drivers, including things like uber eats, seem to be far too small a percentage of drivers to explain why it is pandemonium out there. It's more of a logical trend, that has happened for a long while, where drivers aren't actually at fault for anything, ever.
I also want to have a struggle session about if it's okay for gig drivers to drive and park like absolute madmen or not because on one side they're trying to pay their bills but on the other side they're killing people by driving the way they do
It is not, no. Removed from individual choices, this is surrendering public space to the Uber Company for Uber eats, who gets all the profits and cares exactly 0% about their drivers. The solution to delivery drivers driving or parking badly is not to just let them do that, endangering everyone else. Least of not because that includes other delivery drivers on the ever more prominent e-bicycles, who also get fucked by that.
yeah you hit sort of an x-point of technologically illiterate digital forward people and I do believe they're going to get unbelievably fucked by the whole ordeal on account of trusting their decision making to the hallucination machine
A Randonneur is a long distance travel bike just for context.
The VSF stuff is usually solid, albeit entirely too heavy, but I gotta say, a randonneur in british racing green? I want one.
Just noticed I've never heard them discussed here. Surly basically invented them and called them the Corner Bars, but given it's "bits of metal pipes" you can get some without the name branding now. They're supposed to give you like a drop bar-esque experience except without changing out all the controls and most likely drivetrain, so if you ever wanted to try one, maybe this is interesting for you. You might have to readjust some cables or hydraulic lines.
I post this here because I feel like "how do I convert my flat bar into a drop bar" is a very common question in the bicycle world and while it is possible, it is often sort of not very advisable unless you like wrenching on your bike
Been meaing to post about this, this a reconstruct of some fossil in the Rhineland-Palatinate which, for obvious reasons, made quite the rounds on the german internet for a while
I mean look at it. It's great. Reportedly the scientific artists responsible for this picture was quite pleased with it getting meme'd
Correct, yes I do, stop reminding me because then I am reminded of all the times i have to hear some drivel about rules based international order, rogue states or racism from someone who doesn't
Yes, this is from /r/fixedgearbicycle
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.
I got gifted this and invited to play by an internet friend I'd fallen out of contact with and the shame is it is a fun, innovative game. the mechanics are really interesting to incentivize actual team play in the style of battle formations and such, but it's fucking unbearable how racist everyone who plays as the south is
