I’ve accomplished everything I wanted to in life and now I have no purpose. The girl that rejected me 5 years ago when I was 17 still hasn’t found anyone and I’m pissed off. She knows I liked her and now I’ve absolute lookmaxed and money maxed. She still is a poor npc with no job. Anyway, she’s a normie unlike me. But everything I think about her I want to kill everyone around me. I hate how humiliated I feel every SINGLE DAY. I’ve been mistreated my entire life, I want to have some power, I want to have respect.

you won't get thrown over the handlebars, when you stop pedalling the rear wheel starts dragging, the front still rolls. it's basically like having just a coaster brake, which is why the slightly less retarded fixie riders mount a front brake.

>>2012325
No, I never initiate any conversation although I wish I could. I'm a bit of a sperg so whenever I sit next to someone, either a pretty girl or just some dude, I waste a lot of time thinking what can I actually say to that person.
The easy question is the direction, but it really leads nowhere, unless you try to turn it into an uncomfortable interview. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but I wish I could talk to people but I really don't know how to do it normally.

I'll buy a carbon saddle or seatpost from chinkmarket with little thought. I'll even buy carbon rims, with a little bit of research first. I'd never fucking buy any kind of suspension from that shit, unless there's a mountain of western based reviews, and even then I'd be hesitant.

When did cargo bikes go from being a crusty, get-it-done, no-nonsense niche improvised delivery tool for reasonable humans, to being the single most punchable conspicuous consumption fashion accessory in the history of wheels?

Also, cargo bikes hate thread, and yes I took my meds thanks for the reminder though

>Retards who don't understand the difference in physics between a deadlift/squat and a backpack
It doesn't matter how strong you are it matters how much you weigh, idiots. When you're just lifting up and down, you're bracing your weight against the immovable ground and so you don't notice this. But if you try to put 200 lbs on your back and stand upright, you're going to tip over.
