It is said that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Are you one of the good ones, /n/? Do people say you're not like those other cyclists?
You are inventing scenarios in your head to get mad at again.
>>2028001rent fucking freeeeee lmfao
where I live there are these two archetypes yes, but the pictures are reversed....or maybe its that both those doodles belong in "dont respect" and the only normal people are the ones who got into cycling more through the recent gravel bike explosion, they are by the only normal ones where I live.
>>2028013>where I liveAnd where is that?
>>2028001Im the top one literally but without being gay and having 20k worth of bikes in my shed. I dont even talk about bikes with my normie friends because i know that they dont give a fuck
i dont respect anyone
Why do Cagies get so upset when you call out their objectively immoral means of travel? I hate bikers more than anyone, but cagies shouldn't be treated like humans.
>>2028036>Sucking a natural resource from deep underground, cooking it until it separates, and burning one of two forms of the product (gas or diesel) in metal boxes designed to keep people safe and comfortable is somehow immoral
>>2028036Are the "Cagies" in the room with us right now?
We really not more agressive jannys or a containment board for you urban planning faggots.
>>2028059is the urban planning in the room with you right now?
>>2028032suburban texas, the degenerate fixie youth and 40 yr old alcoholics on BMX bikes are contained to the urban cores, people here arent that "into the culture" like you see in SF/PNW/NYC so theyre not THAT annoying and niche, theyre mostly just kinda gross looking. The roadie group ride addicts are all quite mentally ill, they do not act like normal human beings and they do make cycling their entire personality. They're very insular, not friendly to new people. If you want to get *in* with them you have to show complete devotion to the crew. They have no other non cycling friends or interests. I am cool with a few of them but when I run into them in a group setting with the whole 'crew' they are suddenly very autistic and like can't even look you in the eye. They're a weird bunch.
>>2028066No but it's on my board.
>>2028076this is not your board.
>>2028039>>2028048Cagies that kill pedestrians should be given the death penalty. That would solve the cagie question overnight.
>>2028137How many miles?
>>2028001I don't respect any man that wears a helmet. Period.
my only source of personal transportation is my bike, ive never owned a car nor driven one on my own becuase im a 33 year old autistic loser. got my license at 26, never used it20 year old 27 speed cannondale road bike, my only bike i owni dont wear spandex, just a t shirt and shorts and a backpacki only bike alone, never with others or in a groupthe most "cyclist" thing i have is probably my rack and pannier bags i always stop at stop signs and red lights, but for red lights, ill go through it after stopping if theres no cars around
>>2028232cannondale is racer tier so you're in the first category, especially if you're an autist and therefore not doing it for fashion reasons
>>2028232Holy shit anon your life sounds horrible
>>2028230>Cagies are a symptom of a satanic force driving us off of a cliff.you are mentally ill or a troll. you aren't owning anyone and you aren't contributing. it's just kinda sad.
>>2030992>burning 44 gallons of crude oilNothing burns crude oil, it's refined into products including gasoline.
>>2030993>staggering energyYes it's a marvel of human innovation how I can move 4000 lbs 24 miles at 70 miles per hour on just one gallon of gasoline, and there are vehicles even more efficient than mine. The energy density of gasoline is an amazing and beautiful thing.Also, see >>2030994
>>2030834Yeah it’s more horrible than you can imagine.
>>2030834>>2031032i don't get it, to me that sounds perfectly normal?
>>2028036I think I'm leaving this board forever cause I can't stand this amount of faggotry
>>2031277Ok see you tomorrow then
>>2031277So, how's the quitting going?
>>2031277Ok I'm back
>>2030993>>2030992>>2028230what did I miss
if you aren't confident enough in your riding that you need to wear a helmet, you should NOT be biking
>>2028001Why are you not allowed to criticize cars?
>>2038534So you know how there's a subset of the population who lives in constant fear that there is an invisible transgender lurking under every toilet seat waiting to pop out and, I don't know, force them to smoke estrogen-laced weed or make them listen to Charlie XIX or whatever?That's how the REEEE CARS REEEEE people sound. Like I get it you clicked on the wrong thing maybe by accident maybe out of curiosity, and now your personal algorithm is 100% focused on stoking your rage over this totally random thing that was never an issue until you decided to make it your personal vendetta, but actually, to normies, you just sound crazy.
>>2038537>but actually, to normies, you just sound crazyBecause normies are conditioned to hate everything against "'""''""the narrative'''""''"''"""'
>>2038544the real cuck is the one that can't stop sucking big oil's black juice despite being a slave to it
>>2031032sorry to hear that anon :(
>>2038537But Cars actually exist and they are everywhere. Your point doesn't work. If cars really are like trannies, then it makes sense that some people lose their mind where there's billions of them everywhere
>>2028157never got an answer on this
>>2028036Umm what's a cagie
i dont belong to either group really. i dont own a car and only use a bike because of autism. but i dont have any special bicyclist gear like spandex or anything like that. i also dont really talk about bicycling at all, or rage against car drivers or anything like that. the most i do is just joke about having "the best parking" if i go somewhere that i can bring the bike inside or keep right next to me. i just have a road bike, have a rack on it with a few saddle bags in case i pick up something or put my backpack in one of them
>>2042254one of the good ones
>>2028001Cyclists I respect:Dude on a bike with some panniers, stopping at each stoplight and stopsign, signalling, taking the lane when neededCyclists I don't respect:>beanie DUI tweaker riding on the sidewalk and then cutting across the road randomly>$2000 bike fred speeding down the double yellow line to go around traffic, blowing lights and stopsigns>fat ebiker wearing no helmet and going against traffic in the shoulder on the highway>tweaker with no helmet, jeans tshirt riding in the tiny gap between congested traffic and the door zone and ignoring lights and stopsigns>obvious opportunist thieves who look suspicious riding a child's bike very very slowly and poorly on the sidewalk>>2028137How many individuals do you personally know that have ever hit a pedestrian with their car? I don't know any on even an acquaintance level, but maybe I just don't associate with the kinds of people who drive like shit.>>2028232Similar to me too anon. Not the same, but similar. Difference is I'm an autistic winner. And I like bike stuff so I have several (only one I bought from a store) and customized my shit pretty hard and wear nice loose athletic clothes on them.>>2038695His point is the people who screech about how much they hate cars are like the vegans who screech about people eating meat or the cuckservatives who constantly bitch about trannies or the lefties paranoid about nazis.>>2031277I came back due to a misclick. Gonna leave again though lol
>>2031277Hey
>>2028068north texas by chance?
>>2038537except trans people take up <5% of the population but cars are the majority of road traffic in most countries and up to 95% in many areas of the US and canada and will endanger you and even purposefully drive close to you, coal roll you and yell at you for daring to ride on a bike.
>>2043123>How many individuals do you personally know that have ever hit a pedestrian with their car?holy shit I know this board is retarded but you are actually arguing based on anecdotes when the data is literally seconds away on google https://www.nsc.org/newsroom/nsc-estimates-over-44,000-traffic-deaths-in-2024
>>2028229What if I put on a cute skirt first
>>2028229Yeah cause you're dumb. Dumb people tend not to respect things that make sense because it confuses them and makes their head hurt.
>>2043123I have a coworker who did that once, I think
>>2048874your foam hat won't save you
>>2048874>youre dumbfollowed by>becausewhich implies an argument or logic would follow>agsdjfhe sbsb circular ehehdgI do not think (You) have authority in the evaluation of others mental capabilities.
>>2042246It's a pejorative for a type of investor who overemphasizes CAGR over everything else
Being passionate about things you like or care about is based.Go be doe-eyed niggercattle on preddit.
>>2054689go be a faggot somewhere else
>>2054689Being passionate about something doesn't require you to be a dick about it to everyone elseIn fact I would mind being a dick about it less than what they're really like which is acting all accepting and all bikes are valid, except if it's a bike that looks fast in which case you're a jerk if you have one
>>2056600not all bikes are valid tho
>>2056635Then you're not the problem I was talking about
>>2028077You're right it isn't his, it's mine.
>>2028229Let me guess, you also don't respect any man that wears a seatbelt either.
>>2042254on the same boat really. >own a car but don't drive it often as much as i used to in my younger years>being stuck in traffic because retards can't drive if life depended on it gets tiresome quickly>primarily use to get groceries or visit friends from out of state >Sometimes drive to work 8 miles away, depending on mood or weather>also own a bicycle>one of those fancy gates carbon belt -pinion gearbox drives because maintenance free is practically convenient, and it works great for all season usage>Happier riding around town more than driving every time>still abide by rules of the road>don't dress up like a clown with the stupid aero neon spandex meme>Only gadgets is a basic bike computer (i like some degree of statistics), bike radar to let me know who's approaching, a cheap bicycle bell because somehow pedestrians are even more clueless/on their phones constantly >I don't get mad when needing to slow down or stop at a red light. strava is a memewhy motorists lose their shit at me every now and then for simply following the rules of the road and staying out of people's way, is beyond me. Jealousy? Too fat? Inconvenience of seeing someone else having a better day? Who knows.
>>2056709not your board
>>2056711driving turns you into a sociopath. this is well studied, people actively don't see other drivers and cyclists as real people and a 5 second delay to their commute might as well be physical assault. this is also enforced as accepted behaviour in north american society where caring for your environment and the people around you is seen as weak and getting in the way of your efficiency and ability to make money.
>>2056734not your board
>>2057295>Roads are designed for cars end of storyWrong, roads are designed for people, not just cars
>>2057301>roads are designed for peoplethey most certainly are not that
>>2056772not your board
>>2057295fagget
>>2057302In America
>>2057301they were designed for commerce and a car is the most modern equiv to a horse and buggy so they are not designed for people.
>>2057325people and roads existed before cars. roads existed before the wheel.
>>2057409keep thinking about trannies retard lmao
>>2057295>roads are for ME and ONLY ME and if you disagree you are entitledCar ownership causes brain damage.
>>2057447>can't stop thinking about tranniesStop it. get some help.
