I wish I still lived in the city so I had more reason to own a bicycle, I want to do a custom build of a nice simple single speed but I likely won't ever have to use it because I live 100 miles from any urban center.

unfinished section of the Atlanta beltline. a nice citizen installed a stair step for us.
Has anyone ever bicycled across USA? Should I just do it? I want to cross the country and have a motorcycle but don't really want to take it because I don't want to pay for gas.

This goofy intersection is almost done. Traffic turns left to get to the roundabout at the far intersection, turns left to get back on the highway at the near intersection. A truck stop is going in there and this is supposed to keep trucks turning in and out from blocking each other's view resulting in collisions.
local farmer unspooky'd my route, I can go back to night rides, yay!
>>2056113are there any climbs in your area?
>>2056222yeah
>>2056232yes to this
>>2056250
today's ride was colourful
moved my seat forward a few mm halfway through my ride today.the longer I ride this bike, and the more my body adapts to it, the more I creep the seat forward.
It rained a lot last Sunday and the ground is taking a very long time to dry out due to low temperatures and high humidity. The tire tracks on this road would have been fine for riding, but I saw a grader further up the road and decided to turn around. A grader churning up wet mud would likely have left the road unrideable.
>>2056400looks like a circle of hell, like a sisyphean ordeal without even the hill
>>2056576your pics are usually interesting, and many of them are pretty good, visually.but every once in a while, you capture a perfect composition.this is one of those times.
>>2056403>>2056400This type of landscape has always made me feel uneasy coming from forested hills.
Based phosphor just fucking stops working. Respect.
Nebrwaska gravel trail
Do any of you ride in wind of 20 mph sustained and gusts of 38 mph? Thinking about riding in wide open farmland but I deeply regretted it last time I rode in this wind.
>>2056113Anon, why are you afraid of corn?
>>2056760sometimes, but I'm miserable every time and I hate it. it's usually head or side wind but the few km you go with the wind are fucking awesome.
Today's ride
>>2056874It was only 8 miles but its better than nothing.
>>2056874bucolic
I rided again today. I only have a pic of the new parking spot and trugg. Normally this is the turn around spot but I did the trail in reverse and with the XC bike today. Somehow the hills were way harder with a 36t to 11-40t than the gravel bike 46t to 11-46t. Must be the cheap XC bike extra weight. I feels like it's 10 pounds heavier
>>2054895Would be fun but for what you save on gas you will spend far more on food (hungry cycling) and on more overnight accomodation.You will be super-fit after. Expect strange looks in rural areas.Ultimately it is cheap and easy to ship a motorbike to a major American port and ride it about. You don't have to cycle if you don't want to.
>>2055228>as I am riding I have a brainfart and next thing I know I am about to eat shitWhat exactly happened to make you lose control in this situation. This never happens to me. Sounds like a minor stroke. I can't picture riding along then just falling off in the context.
>>2056760It is slighty harder work to ride against but makes you faster going back. I just ignore it.
>>2055228What is a brainfart?
>>2057034like a failure
ive been doing rad shit recently, i rode way out into the middle of fuckin nowhere on the beach to find a hole in the ground and take a picture of itand on my way back out i figured id follow the water, and the wet sand is actually dense enough to ride on pretty hardand even better, it does little scalloping shapes so you can hit it like rollers on a pump track, its dope
and just today i rode out to some abandoned industrial bridges in the woods
Snapped off. Wham. Rolling down the hill, over junction, back on the pedals and pow. Fortunately didn't fall off and wasn't standing on them at the time.By chance there was a Halfords a few minutes walk away. They sold me a new pedals and lent me the tools to fit. On my way again in half an hour.

Visited home for the first time in years, did a century ride until 4am.
Out and about yesterday in the urban jungle.
>>2057240Why would you go for a century at 11pm?
>>2057262>everyone is as fat as i am
>>2057264>20mph average over 100 miles solo is slowSorry to disappoint you Tadej. I will keep training.
Old tractors are so /n/
>>2057262It was 118 km, not miles. Average speed was 28 km/h but I wasn't riding hard for the middle third as I was exploring downtown. Lots of climbs though, and I had the scariest cycling moment of my life that I'm still kind of processing... mainly addressing my stupidity and recklessness. I guess I'll tell it. Found a random very steep hill and went for it on impulse. I saw a curve in the road and figured I'd be able to take it no matter what so got up to well over 80 km/h before I realized it wasn't a curve but a dead end without a fucking sign. The road was eroded at an angle and the shadows from the street lamps made it look like a gentle left-hander. I only got down to about 60km/h before I hit rocky shoreline where I just locked the rear brake and held on. Somehow I stayed upright for nearly 40 feet, cutting a deep rut through wet stones until I got to the finer ones and rolled out. Stopped about 10 feet from the water. The scary part for me is it could have been anything down there... a 10 foot drop, a culvert, anything. There were boulders but off to one side and there was nowhere to bail. I could have gotten knocked out and drowned or just died instantly. I checked afterward and the grade there is 10%.Feel free to shit on me, I deserve it. I have learned a lesson that's for sure... one I already knew but I needed it reinforced apparently. Never doing that again.
>>2057291missed your one chance to get isekai'd anon
>>2057292I guess it just wasn't meant to be... certainly tried though; that's a pile of wet leaves on wet rocks I went through as well, with slicks. After riding my brakes on wet leaves on the road.
>>2057293That could've been so much worse. I've had a few close calls with wet leaves, loose gravel, sand, etc. Looks can be deceiving at night. It's no joke.
Morning ride
Just 633 km away from a milestone of 100,000 miles (160934 km) total logged rides.
ahhh, fallen leaves on curves... home...
leaf surfing’s a blast
>>2057423In some areas with mature trees we get leaf paste on the side of the roads after a rain.
This Saturday I’m going to ride a tandem bicycle with someone for the first time ever. Him and I are both going to be scheduled to do our hobby at the same time and we live in town so we decided to do it. He has the tandem and is a huge bike guy, I bike a lot but not as intensely knowledgeable as he isWe just gave it a test ride for a few minutes tonight and it felt hilarious being in the back not being able to see what’s going on or how to control anything, but I think that we are going to absolutely fly on this thing
>>2057439it's nice you'll be have your first tandem time with knowledgeable big bike guy. yeah, not being in control might be a bit scary, but it's nice to let loose once in a while. no need to be scared, enjoy the ride. I'm rooting for you!
>>2057390great photo anon
>>2057446I’m surprised the first response wasn’t saying how gay it is to ride a tandem bike with another guy. It definitely was a strange feeling having to pretty much look at a guys ass while riding. But I figure I’ll do it once just to say I did it, and if it’s a good experience I might do it again if we have the same schedule some other time.
>>2057474>But I figure I’ll do it once just to say I did it, and if it’s a good experience I might do it again if we have the same schedule some other time.Just to be clear you're talking about riding a bicycle yeah?
>>2057453Thanks anon
damn, carbon seatposts are so nice. the ride is so much comfier, absolutely mindblowingfuck yeah science!
>>2057439I know this is a joke but makes me extremely tandem curious. Especially since my wife and I don't ride bicycles as much as we used to now
>>2057531I don't understand, why does the carbon make it comfier?
>>2057563Absorbs vibration better than aluminum.
>>2054720Kek that sunrisehttps://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1761962844241594.mp4
>>2057542It’s not a joke at all. I’m leaving in half an hour to meet up at his house and we’re gonna head off on the tandem from there. We both ride our bikes when we go to this hobby, this is the first time in a long time we’ve both signed up to be there on the exact same schedule. He used the bike with his kids (he even has a 3 seat cycle too) doing century rides. I figured this might be the only chance I get to ride one so I might as well take it. I’m extremely curious to see how it is riding the 9 miles there and also how fast we get there.
>>2057589It's alright, being bike-curious is a perfectly normal path into bikesexuality

I went on a new old rail line gravel trail but forgot to take a pic.
Sun sets so soon now.
Not getting above freezing for the next few days. -17C Saturday night. Next week looks like the last week of above freezing temp.
>>2057961yup its over gotta be on the way home by 5pm already. pretty much pitch at 5:30

>>2058274i like the feeling of the wind on my head and the mild amount of potentially serious danger it provides
>>2058268I lol'd
>>2057589Top and bottom is obvious, but who is the alpha on a tandem, front or back?
>>2058332front makes all the piloting, shifting, and braking decisions. rear has his face in their ass.a moment's thought could have provided you with the answer.
One more week of above freezing daytime highs before we get some -10C days. So far I've been able to get away with summer shoes with rain covers. I did wear my heated gloves for the first time this season yesterday.
>>2058353>slips finger in your ass crackteehee
>>2058268.... how do you not notice your front fork not compressing?did you not adjust your fork when you got the bike?did you not feel it compress when sprinting when it was "locked out"post bike, do you even ride

bros I miss bacon..
>>2059036he had a good run
Saw aftermath of a single-bicycle crash on the path today. It was exceptionally gusty and I think the old guy just got caught off guard
>>2059033long story short the new bike has tires that are more compliant than the suspension was on the old bike.
>>2059038i don't think he can
my "daily ride" is just to work and there is nothing of interest on it
I have discovered new places todayit was a good ride
>>2059164that's the best type of ride. I love to explore
>>2059129best post on 4chan all week
One small problem with the updated heated gloves I made last year. They draw too much combined amperage to get to full heat from the same battery. I ordered a new power bank with 3A 9V output and twice the capacity for more heat and longer runtime.
>>2059200Maybe you should stop being a retarded nigger and just buy proper factory made muffs ?
>>2059200don't listen to Big Muffs faggot. ganbare!
New pump day. I have two Topeak Turbo morphs and they are both junk that should have been replaced long ago. Just having them on the bike dirt and water can get inside and mess them up. The press on / flip handle air head also sucks and rare stays engaged. Im never getting another pump that doesn't have a screw on air chuck. I got a flat a few weeks back and the check valve stopped working so it couldn't pump air.New one is a Lezyne High Volume micro floor drive. Surprisingly lightweight.
>>2059284my topeak products all broke eventually, like a few years.my lezyne stuff seems good
>>2059284Got to try out the pump today because I foolishly ignored a slow leak for a few rides. Tire managed to hold air for an entire ride 3 times so I put off fixing it. The small wire that was still in the tire shifted mid-ride today and it started going flat quickly.The pump works great, but the handle is a bit awkward being so small.
,
No flats all summer then 3 in the past two weeks. Today when it was 0C, but I managed to fix it pretty quickly. At least all of them involved something sticking out of the tire. Mystery flats make me paranoid there is something in the tire I missed that will make it go flat again.

>>2059877kek
>>2059877I see bacon has more then enough to eat at home.
We got just enough snow that I'll have to put the studded tires on. It is cold enough now that it won't be melting. Though late next week it might get warm enough for the main roads to get wet from the ice melter.
>>2059980I put mine on just hours before the first ice, it was pretty much perfect timing. Seriously considering a second wheelset so I can swap to regular tires quickly though, it's annoying having to go easy on braking and acceleration all the time. Year after year I curse and praise studded tires.What are you using? I use Schwalbe Marathons but learned the hard way to use liners for when a stud rolls over and punctures the tire. I wish I didn't need to haul so much stuff on my commute but I do, and there's a lot of climbing that's hard on the rear tire as well. Front has never so much as lost a stud though.
>>2059983I wore the rubber on my Ice Spiker Pros down enough that it was breaking studs. I switched the rear one to a 26" Marathon Winter, but that tire had a defective bead and blew off the rim twice on me wrapping the tube around the rim. Last fall I switched to 45Nrth 26" Gravdals. I was looking for something that looked like it would roll fast and stand up to bare pavement since I use my fatbike when there is a lot of loose snow. I never liked the thick sidewalls on the Marathons as it felt like sapped energy unless pumped up rock hard. Once Marathons wear a certain amount they start pushing the studs to the interior of the tire. I had wore Marathons start causing flats on my touring bike. I haven't ridden that bike in winter in several years. Drop bars in the snow keep you on your toes since there is more weight on the bars.
>>2059985Yeah, the Marathons do need to be max PSI to feel remotely acceptable. I'll definitely check out the Gravdals, I see they are available in 700c.
>>2059877man those bikes are huge
>>2060010They are literal motorcycles.
>>2060022that's pretty neat. the owners of the vineyard let you ride through?
>>2060023yes vineyards are not fenced off and we have freedom to roam in the countryalthough every year the state declares a ban prohibiting the public from entering the vineyards from the end of july until the grape harvest which takes place around the end of augustyou get a fine if you get caught
>>2060042Hay there happy horse
>>2060090oh fuck, it's this time of year again. I need to do some night rides and check out the lights.fog the past few days and the snow is ending.

I keep eating half a pack of Spekulatius cookies with warm milk after every ride. that's around 1300kcal, so I guess I'm okay, algorithms said I've burned 1500kcal on today's ride.and my new chain hit 600km today and it still doesn't look like it needs lubing.

>>2060360but he was neither in his blindspot nor cut him off?he was facing the car across the intersection and he was going straight while the car was signaling left. this is all clearly stated in his post
>>2060366probably didn't have a front light on his bike.
>>2060367he said it wasn't dusk yet. do you even know how to read? why are you posting ?
>>2060363I bet it goes on for hundreds looks like a railbed.
>>2060368he also said its "starting to get dark" and its december which means an almost immediate change from visible to invisible for a bicyclist without lights the moment it even starts to get dark.
>>2060369nah, there were many of those in this forest. maybe some sort of old breeding ponds?
>>2060370you're speculating about his lack of lights but when he's at the intersection he specifies that it is not dusk yet. you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

not really a ride, but today my cycling computer, 2 sensors for cadance and speed, and front light arrived, all from XOSS, i have a taillight from them and its pretty goodI bought the computer with a stand/holder thinking it would allow the mouting of the light as well, and I ordered a light that could be mounted under a stand (didnt shill out 5 euros more for the stand)well guess what, now I got a shitty stand I can only mount my computer onto, and I gotta do a shitty rubber tie thing mount for my light...so I thought about it, and spent like 2% of my christmas bonus on a combined XOSS stand and rockbros face mask scarf thing and winter glovesgod I love chinkshit
Rode up a creek as far as I could
>>2060617At least your light doesn't rape your bike computer like mine does.
It warmed up to -1C overnight but I had to deal with light rain. I went for a ride anyway. The rain was turning to ice when it hit the ground but I had good traction with the studded tires. I'm glad I went when I did because shortly after I got home the wind picked up to 60 km/h and the temperature started rapidly dropping on its way back to -20C tonight. Its been bouncing between warm and cold for weeks.

It warmed up to -7C today and the wind was surprisingly light making for a pleasant ride. Yesterday morning it was -30C. The roads were in great condition too, a nice even layer of packed snow on the side streets for smooth easy rolling.
Took my bike for a test ride just up the street. It's only like -3 but actively snowing. I didn't die, but I take a trail to work and worry it won't even have salt on it and there'll be a thicc layer of ice underneath fresh powder and then I will die. My tires suck ass
>>2061227I was flying my drone yesterday and was reminded how blue the shadows can get in the winter on a sunny day. Right around sunset all the snow can turn blue for a little while.I've been watching them work on that bridge for over a month. Drove dozens of multi piece steel piles, having to stop periodically and weld on an additional piece. They were dropping off new concrete pier caps yesterday.
Tonight looks like the perfect night to ride around looking at Christmas lights. -2C at 7pm and staying warm all night.

>>2061257Friggin cold today and the the freezing rain from last week has everything as slick as a skating rink. They cut the old rail bridge deck off and install a concrete one on the new supports in a single day. If only road work was that fast.
>>2061779Man, if I lived in an arid area and had 3 wheels I wouldn't even care if I put a tire on inside out let alone backwards. It's all ice and slush here, every commute tries to kill me. No maintenance shaming here, my headset is knocking every time I brake.
Fuck Christmas and fuck women

>>2062188yh also I love your posts brother
>>2061979I want a supersix so bad. Such a sexy bikeFuck this new capcha literally retarded
>>2062182a raincape is life-changing.
>>2062215oh, except you need fenders for it to work best.but fenders are an even better purchase anyway
>>2062216nah. make that shit out of an old political sign. a couple feet of plastic shouldn't cost 39.99
>>2062216No room for fenders on this bike sadly but I do need to build a summer bike with them.
>>2062205its a pretty good bike tbqh, I have been tempted to switch the frame for the evo if I find a good price with this paintjobalso, last ride of the year, first time i rode with some snow
I badly need a fuck around winter bike and to enjoy riding in the dark again. Probably a gravel build since that would be the most useful addition to my stable. As a truly broken person I am completely dependent on the endorphins from cardiovascular exercise to maintain a facade of mental wellness. Indoor training just doesn't hit the same. >>2062215I am interested in one. I want to be less of a fair weather commuter but the limited daylight hours of New England winters suck for a commute in the car infested suburbs alongside our crappy narrow ass roads.
How do you guys do 100km+ a day? I do a 40km roundtrip and I'm absolutely knackered
>>2062332ride more. let your body get accustomed to biking. go slower. don't try to do 100km trips with 30+ avg speeds. it takes time to build up your endurance.
first 2026 drunk ridewas singing anime songs as hard as I couldhappy new year everyone!
>>2062338even the camera was drunk
>first beautiful day after freezing temps and fog>stuck in lightest gear after the hillclimbfuck electric shifters
>>2062339everything was drunk at that ride desu senpai
>>2062340yeah they should really have an analog backup, maybe something like a cable-actuated mechanism
>>2062332it's pretty easy you see, when you get to 40km ride another 60km+
>>2062332or ride 50km in one direction, and then you'll have to make another 50km for trip back
>>2062338Based retard. Been getting high and drunk as fuck and then riding 60k home its very chill
>>2062338my NY(E) get home ride was in snow. it was enjoyable but i had to go very slow and could not be Exuberant or i'd die

>>2062215If you consider raincapes. Know you'll just sweat your ass off and the thing might feel worse on you than just being usually wet. Also you're wet due to. sweating. Just put on less stuff it dries again faster. In the cold it's no use either as it's not wet when cold.
>>2062510>s it's not wet when coldI guess you live in Finland or something where there's subzero temps in September? in a lot of the world, it can rain in December - February. it's raining here now.the reason raincapes are better than raincoats is that it's completely open underneath so the air circulates instead of trapping all your body heat so you either don't sweat, or far less so, depending on temperature. they're cut for a riding profile so they don't flap around like a regular poncho and they usually have a brim on the hood to protect rain from flying into your eyes .but if they don't work for you, then don't use them.
>le raincape le raincape>just wear a giant sail!even if it wasn’t windy as fuck all the time uuuuuh no.
>>2062512cool story man continue to get wet then.
>>2054720First ride on the new rig, still getting it set up but great so far
>>2062520L or XL?
>>2062516If i didn’t want to get wet i would just stay inside wont catch me peddling my walmart bike down the street wrapped in a trash bag looking like some sort of homeless person My bike is too nice and the trash bag does not match my vibe
>>206252161cm, the biggest size.

>>2062532>but if they don't work for you, then don't use them
Okay guys, I'm starting to see your point about rim brakes
>>2062523so you think people respect you for being soaking wet? Let me guess umbrellas look "stupid" too, no one thinks your cool for doing things intentionally wrong like someone who just ticked over from preteen to teenager.
>>2062528keep frying baconman your doing it FOR THE PEOPLE.
>>2062520this is the Caledonia from the other thread?
cleaned the dirty slut, gonna install the road-ish tires and floor it these days, with the day getting longer and all
>>2062520sorry but this shit looks so goofy lmaothe fucking headtube I cant
>>2063022careful with the high pressure around the bearings>>2063023that's how bikes for tall people look. you want him to ride a bike that doesn't fit him?
>>2063024it's a poorfag seething because other people can afford nicer stuff
>>2063076never attribute malice when stupidity will suffice.it sounds more like he just doesn't know anything about frame sizes and how they look at either extreme.
