This.

It's common knowledge that cyclists are healthier, more active and have (on average) bigger, thicker penises.

Also cycling is a hobby that is statistically heavy with a white male demographic, thus one of the very last standing bastions against the unwashed horde. On a serious note, I have maybe met 1-2 people over the last 30,000 km bike touring who was non-white, nigs don't care for anything outdoorsy.

So therefore you have a community that is relatively homogenous, fit, active and leaves the house regularly. This easily results in a friendly and accessible environment.

I flew down to the Bay Area to take a journey on the Niles Canyon Railway's mysterious and rarely traveled Eastern branch aboard the M200 Railbus. The last of its kind still operating, the M200 once served the California Western Railroad as a literal schoolbus for children. Today is its first publicly available excursion in several years.

A thread to talk about this integral component.

Along with tyres a saddle is perhaps the most impactful upgrade you can make to a bike in terms of delivering immediate and noticeable improvements to comfort and ride quality.

I'll kick things off with a Brooks related question. Can anyone identify picrel?

It has B66 Champion stamped on the side, and is fitted with the old fashioned sprung dual rail system. However, the B66 has a width of 205 mm, whereas this saddle is 175 mm. More like a B17 on top. A conundrum indeed.

Brooks has in current production the Flyer, which is a sprung version of the B17 at 175mm width. From what I could find on a google search, the only difference between the Flyer and B66 Champion is the rails (single vs double) and the rivets (steel vs copper). The leather top is otherwise identical.

You want a saddle with a cut-away section, or it will impede blood flow to your penis.

depends of the gf tho.

speaking from experience, if she's a normie basic chick, then yeah, she's typically more annoying than worth it.

but if you've never had a gf, the first few months/years will be very exciting, later on, you'll get over the lovey dovey comfort bullshit and you'll want a better chick, a smarter and less annoying one or no chick at all, just pump and dump.

>>2042053
you're mostly correct, I can tell you've seen that most women aren't actually worth hanging out with. this all comes to men after some time when they get over the initial excitement of having a woman. when the red-tinted glasses fall away with time, you being to see that most women are simply too basic and boring (just like most men; modern society in general). there are gems but are rare.

Do rollercoasters count as transportation?

idk if any real theme parks do it completely like that but afaik disney world/land has fancy cartoony trams in some sections as part of the aesthetic and RCT certainly has "Transit Rides" that are specifically for moving people around the park and are low-fun/thrill rides but guests will use them in their pathfinding (mechanically it's a way to make fun not decay as peds travel from attraction to attraction, or visit more attractions in one visit thus spending more money)
>>
>>2081137
>RCT certainly has "Transit Rides" that are specifically for moving people around the park and are low-fun/thrill rides but guests will use them in their pathfinding
No they won't. They will almost always enter the queue of a free transit ride if they bump into it, but they won't take a transit ride to shorten a walk to a ride or stall they've decided to visit. You can set up paths to funnel wandering guests to a transit ride so excess guests get taken to a hopefully less crowded area of the park, but that's about it.

I stopped riding bikes around 2015. Became a cagie and got fat. Recently my son wanted to start riding bike. I went out and bought a cheap 95 specialized rockhopper. Replaced the shocks with a ridgid fork, got new flats to replace the plastic pedals. But when I went to my local bike shop to get some bar ends the guys there told me no ones uses them anymore. What the fuck happened? Everything is electric now, nothing is in 26" anymore, no more single speeds, no more 3-by cranksets, no rim brakes. What did I miss in the past 11 years?
