Hey guys I love when school busses are repurposed either for USA van lifers or as public transit in other countries like MX, Nica, Guatemala, etc.

SO I saw this and took a picture to share with you all I love the green color.

How is this guy alive? First one or two videos I watched, I thought he was just going for (You)s but they just get worse and worse. The only way this makes sense is if he has terminal cancer and he wants to die riding a bike and not in a hospital bed.

I like taking the bus to work if I see I'm ready to leave just as it's about to come. The stop is a 3 minute walk from my house, and it stops right across the street from my job. It's usually almost empty and I get to have a chill morning.

To be clear, I mean the type of excessive sweating that can even be visible on your pants. Not fat btw, pretty much the same body as in the pic hence I wonder why the fuck that is in the first place. Is that a condition thing that would get better when just doing more fitness?

I once met up with a girl to go on a date where we were gonna ride our bikes around town to a few garage sales then go get icecream. All very wholesome and cute except it was like 28°C out and humid as fuck. Half way through I had noticeable sweat stains on the ass of my shorts so I pretended to have a family emergency and left.

Women like to put men in these situations to see if they'll sweat. You failed the test. That's why I got the sweat glands on my ass lasered off. It's not an automatical master key to her holes, but it's one less thing to worry about.

If it seems expensive consider the opportunity cost of lost dates. This is a no-brainer when you think about it logically.

about three fiddy

30 years after Mavic Zap, I finally tried three different bikes with electronic shifting (Rival, Force, and Red/XPLR) and it reminded me of the first time I got my dick sucked. It was alright. I'm glad I experienced it. But the overall feeling was like.... "that's all? that's what all the hype was about?"

I am glad it's a thing, I'm glad it's available, I would never tell them to un-invent it. I suppose if you offered to upgrade my current bikes with all electronic I'd probably go for it (might have to think it through first). Overall, it was a disappointment.

So what did I miss here? Is Shimano better or Campy maybe, was the problem fookin SRAM? Is it less about the ride and more the long term ownership experience, the maintenance perhaps? Why do people fork out 2-3x the monies over the cost of perfectly good mech shifting? I can't believe I'm even saying "perfectly good (old thing)". I love my hydro dicks, I love my crabon wheels, I would never go back and those were worth every penny, but the e-shifting was a big letdown. Again, it was fine, but just fine. For all the hype I expected to ejaculate instantly.

I don't mind technology but the shifting under load meme for derailers (I see what you did there) is only really a problem on the front derailleur, 95% of your shifts are on the rear where it's unlikely to cause trouble.

Now that wider tires on road bikes are the default and you can barely even find a rim brake bike for sale anymore (other than at the antique store), how long before Big Cycling realizes there's no more upgrades to sell and if they want to continue selling bikes now they have to promote thin, high pressure tires and turn of the century frames as an improvement (complete with convincing-looking data presented by convincing-sounding "engineers")

Full rigid ATBs are a huge trend you massive pussy. People ride full rigid offroad all the time.

I just noticed biketubers are saying "de-railer" now. I could have sworn when I was younger this was contentious. Only weirdos and Sheldon Brown called them that. The standard pronunciation was "de-railleeoor"". How do you say it?

6,000 feet is on the shorter side of stack trains. 7,000-7,500 was average for the line I worked on. BNSF started running 10,000 foot stack trains on the transcon from LA to Chicago 20 years ago and they're probably longer now.

The MARC train has mostly 2 level cars. Like a spilt level house, 6 steps up, 6 down through the door. This slings the lower deck between the trucks, so its not even that tall.

We have heaps of Alstom Coradia Duplex rolling around. First class is upstairs. Second class is down. I reckon the fleet of Stadler Kiss has the same setup.
They gave some more seats without extending platforms in the middle of nowhere.

Why is larping as a turn of the century messenger while blocking traffic on a weekday considered fundamentally a Good Thing, while larping as a pro athlete on a closed course at the ass crack of dawn on a Sunday, where you paid in advance and you bring business to the community and bother literally no one, is so heavily derided?

The GF thing isn't my cup of tea personally, but it seems like about the most harmless way you can be edgy and have a little light "competitive" fun without intentionally irritating anyone (or seriously endangering yourself in a high stakes pro race), unlike Critical Mass which is just jacking off about how you're Doing Good (while actually just being a jackass)

Is that the issue? The irritation has to be declared in advance? If you irritate someone who will never even see you just by existing, you're uncool, but if you irritate people for the sake of irritating them you're cool?

Change my view on this, Gran Fondos are actually something we should encourage, all the benefits of sport with few if any disadvantages, and Critical Mass is seriously misguided
