Post your ride during sundown Post your favorite lights and light setupsDo not: Be a haterTalk shitPost daylight ride photos
I only do night rides in the blazing glory of the Sun
Bontrager headlight here. Anything stronk is good. Stvzo a shit.
cool thread anon, here's mine from todayi got a new taillight (moon cerberus) and wanted to see how it works after dark
>>2058814>>2058907how many lumens are those lights
>>2060008i'm >>2058907front is cyclami x7 set to the dimmest mode at (allegedly) 250lmrear is moon cerberus ru on the dimmest setting also, but it has a "variable lumen system" and i don't remember what setting i used, lowest i think? it tops out at 150lm and goes as low as 5lm
>>2058817Based tenno heika banzai pilled
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
>>2063594Those amber side lights are neat. I've been looking for something like that.
New pic since all my posts got genocided, lmao... pottery.
Can't see shit, I just keep my mitts on and shoot from the hip. Was -18C with the wind chill. Fresh snow on top of packed snow on top of ice for 22 km, it took 2 hours.
Same bike 8 years ago... only things that have changed are chain, derailleur, tires, bar tape, cables and bearings.
>>2064508so, it's not the same bike?
>>2064509And I am not the same man.
>>2064509>same frame>same forks>same wheelset>same crankset>same brakes>same shifters>same bars>same seat post>same saddleAt what point do you think the ship of Theseus metaphor becomes relevant? If I go for a bike ride, am I not riding the same bike when I get back than when I headed out? If I clean the dirt off the bike and lube the chain, is it a different bike?
>>2064515panta rhei. it is not the same bike before and after the ride.you are not the same man before and after the ride.
>>2064523Making this >>2064509 post a tautology, so not meaningful.
>>2064509Ban yourself
>>2064504what size tyre is that 40c?
>>206551535. Would go thinner if I found another studded option, to cut through to the road better.
>>2065516thought you needed to stay above the snow or does that change with the snow footage
>>2065520Nah you wanna cut through that shit, especially your front wheel or you just end up sliding out of control. A solid wall of snow either side of your wheel gives you something to push into to keep you upright (especially wet snow) and you can fishtail your way around without actually sliding out.
>>2065651hello! current trip or old photo?
>>2065652Hey. That image is from two days ago. I'm close to Khmelnytskyi now.
One of my rides home this week.>>2065682Based.
>>2065682legendary
>>>/wsg/6092871
>>2065682how much weight is your luggage friend
>>2065782I bet he carries snow just in case.
>>2065766I've seen coyotes on the Atlanta beltline, and not even after dark, either. just in places where nobody else was around except him and me
>>2065819I've been surrounded by them twice. Once while camping and another time while cycling, at 3am. I have audio recording of the second encounter.I'm not scared of them by any means, but do carry spray just in case. They have attacked several people here the past couple of decades. That thing sticking up beside my stem here >>2065712 is a can of coyote spray. The red tab is visible here: >>2064506
>>2065815>>2065712how many lumens friend
>>2065934I had to check online, this light is ancient. It states 1800 but I doubt it's accurate. Plenty bright though, and the pack is two 18650s. I have gone 5 rides without it dropping more than one indicator bar and have never had it die on me. Great light, honestly. I did de-solder the cable and cut it down though, it was way too long.It's an Evolva, probably some defunct Chinese nothing brand.
Now that winter is almost over in the northern hemisphere, perhaps the Australians will sustain this thread throughout their winter
>>2067400but it's a night ride thread, not winter one.
>>2067409Science fact of the day: the nights are longer in winter
>cycling through frozen hell in dead of winter>can't wait for spring>spring arrives>immediately miss the struggle>have it too easy during summer and fall, get soft and lazy>dreading the arrival of winter>winter arrives>this is my shit>cycling through frozen hell in dead of winter>can't wait for spring
>>2070259who is that >>2069204you're more likely to be out in the sun in the winters than in summers when you need the cool cover of the night
>>2073354You're actually more likely to be out at odd hours in the winter because your decreased serotonin levels are going haywire so you're putting in as many garbage miles as physically possible hoping to fight off the crippling depression
>>2073397but you did the depression fighting ride during the sun hours and when it's colder in the evenings you're in your warm cocoon
wow guys i always seem to end up riding around at 3am listening to something like this no matter what time of year it is https://youtu.be/T7Yaty64sm8?si=FZ8r162seDrLSCJp
>>2058814Plebs
>>2073417>every outing begins and ends with asking for permissionThis is the kind of shit that makes me need to go for a bike ride.
>>2073429Based at an uncontrolled airport, don't have to talk to a soul.
>>2073434>so desperate for attention that you post planes in a bicycle threadI dunno buddy, you seem to crave talking.
>>2073435Cope harder
>>2073439Posting aircraft in a bicycle thread feels like copium, my dude. Did you get made fun of in the GA thread or something?
>>2073441He's upset because he has no jet time
>>2073441Where does it say in OP's post that it's just for bikes faggot?
>>2073447I hear you have no jet time and that's why you're in a bicycle thread. Do you need some moral support while you get out of this rut?
>>2073458How does a dude own a plane and still be this much of a loser?
>>2073458Says the gay retard posting half a dozen pictures of his entry level CX bike. Look at me guys, I ride in the snow, I'm not gay I swear!!1!;.
>>2073474>tries to flex in a bicycle thread>everyone just laughs>gets madStay mad, fatty
>>2073480Guaranteed thinner than you, samefag.
>still seething compulsivelyLove to see it
>fat pilot man goes on another drunken rant in a bike threadpost some more blurry photos from your 40 year old shitbox lmao
>>2073474>what is a winter beaterOf course you wouldn't understand, being a casual/non-rider. You also don't understand why it's retarded to post a motor vehicle in a cycling thread... you'd receive the same reaction by posting an e-bike. We all have assets other than bicycles man, but this is a cycling thread.
Anyway, back to night rides.
Ok
>>2073497Hey, it's the Marlboro Man himself.
>>2073498Yeah but im takin a week off to go smoke cheap Marlboro reds in Africa
>>2073497I'd steal your bike just because it's marlboro
>>2073490>Non-riderLol, pathetic spergout. The chassis and all the components on my road bike were developed by either Jim Easton or Jim Felt. Show me again where in OPs post it says bike thread? I know biking is your only mode of transportation, but people do use other modes to go out for night rides. Maybe you just implied that to yourself when you samefagged the OP. That type of faggotry is better suited to /p/ - or have you been banned from there again?
>>2073569>not only am i a desperate cringeposter i am a stalker tooKek, you can't act unbothered while also getting agitated enough to creep on someone. At least you've admitted to being upset now.>only mode of transportationI have a Ford, BMW, and Acura. The thing is though, this is a cycling thread. You know it is too, but are an insecure babbydick who got drunk and tried to dunk on people in a cycling thread. Maybe you should dust off your bike and unwind with some honest exercise.
>>2073571>Everyone who criticizes me is le stalkerAnyone who's spent more than 5 minutes in /p/ is unfortunately familiar with your schizoid retardation. >Ford, BMW, Acura. I didn't know you had shit taste in cars too (B58 only exception)
>backpedals yet againSo much for me not having any transportation. You abandon arguments quicker than you abandoned cycling.Be less insecure and jealous. Sorry for triggering you on /p/ and /n/ without having any idea you existed because you are boring and inconsequential to every board you post on.
>>2073578>inconsequential to every board you post on.Wait, is the implication here that you're not? Literally laughing out loud.
>the guy who poses his bike in the snow for reddit updoots is having an episode againDid he get banned from /r/cycling/ or what
>>2073583Kek, it took me a long time to realize but there are multiple instances of you seething about me on both boards and referring to /p/ and /n/ over the years... dare I say rent free? You saw me posting winter rides in this cycling thread so decided to shit it up with motor vehicles?>literally laughing out loudI'm sure you are; reacting to me seems to be your thing. One could even call it a consequence.
>>2073586My guy, I don't even go on /p/ but the pattern is becoming increasingly obvious. You mistook this site for reddit and lean on your old pics of your bike during a snowstorm hoping it will help you "ratio" people. Apparently your reputation is following you across boards now. It's summer now, surely you can at least take some pictures in the rain or fog or something?
>>2073586>Seething for yearsDude I am honestly fucking dying right now about how retarded you are haha. Honestly feel bad for how much delusion you have to live with.
>>2073587>i don't even go on /p/Backpedaling yet again... you literally mentioned it here: >>2073569 >>2073577Face it, you mentioned /p/ on /n/ and vice versa one too many times while crying about me and I have now noticed you. Happy?>muh redditYeah, you keep scraping the bottom of the barrel for that one. You already admitted to not even getting banned from 4chan so are clearly a dork.>old pics of your bike during a snowstormThere's that insecurity again, exposing you as a casual/non-rider. Every pic here apart from >>2064508 is from 2026. It's a daily commute of 40 km. No cyclist would be in disbelief over something this basic.>It's summer now, surely you can at least take some pictures in the rain or fog or somethingHow drunk are you? Here:>>2073492>>2073493Not only do you have no photography for /p/, you don't even have any cycling content for cycling threads on /n/. Also you have images of trannies saved, kek. Go smash another bottle of whatever it is you're drowning your sorrows with today.
>>2073589Can you just find another board to shit up, please
wait stalkers are actually a thing? i thought it was a meme
>>2073589Damn, I didn't know you could sperg that hard. Having an autistic moment? You know you're talking to two different posters right? I've literally never posted on /p/.
>>2073591It is a meme. Nobody is actually stalking this gay retard.
>>2073590Getting desperate, are we?
>it's multiple people seething over you on /p/ while mentioning /n/ and multiple people seething over you on /n/ while mentioning /p/!Kek. The creepy insecure little faggot is also an idiot.
>>2073417not a bike>>2073585not a bike>>2073588not a bike>>2073590your shitting up the board
He did the same thing in the last /bqg/ too, must be having a bad weekend
>>2073489More like 60 years old
>>2073599I'm not the one throwing a tantrum every 12 hours over the most trivial things, snow boy. This is the first time in the history of /n/ I've sided with a planefag on anything, so congrats on being more insufferable than them, I guess
>>2073605>the other anon who is definitely not the planefag is also adverse to people riding in the snow>>2073599You can always report people for off-topic/trolling.
>>2073607People calling you out on your annoying behavior is not a sign that anyone is "adverse (sic) to people riding in the snow". We're just getting tired of you shitting up threads with your melties. Feel free to delete your posts, followed by deleting yourself.
>>2073602Accurate
>>2073608>(sic)How embarrassing for you:https://dictionary.cambridge.org/thesaurus/adverse-toThis thread has been derailed by >>2073417
>>2073610>AI generated thesaurusI have to hand it to you, being repugnant on this many levels at once is quite an achievement
>>2073611>schizo word salad troll attemptOne could say you are adverse to being corrected.
>>2073612At this point fully half of the thread is dedicated to you and your little meltie, are you happy now that you are getting the attention your parents didn't give you?
>>2073591Every board has at least one
>>2073614Please tell me you're ending it
>>2073569>kvetching about someone across multiple boardsLol. I have night rides to post but will wait for the mental illness to calm down
>planetard is a genuine retarded attention seeking losermany such cases
Quick 120 km spin today.
>>2073688None of you have any jet time.
>>2058814is it a dumb idea to ride my bike on the road at night in the middle of the country? I wanna start riding to work but when I get done it's like 10pm
>>2073782I do this. Keep a tight schedule so you see mostly the same people, and be visible with a good tail light. Consider using two for redundancy. Maybe avoid Fridays when the drunks are numerous.
>>2073614I found a plethora of knives on a bike path. I like to collect hobo stabbers :)
>>2073782yeah, country drivers are usually worse and more often drunk. however there is less traffic overall so it evens out. but still, get lights. and as tempting as it is to get gorillion watt lumenblasters, they dont actually make you harder to hit
