Why are Americans so vehemently against bicycles unlike Europeans? Is it their love for Big Oil and the automotive industry?
>>534108676no one needs trains Muhammad
>>534108676My are Norwegians so vehemently against knowing what the fuck they are talking about before posting? Is it their love for faggotry and the homosexuality industry?
>>534108676>anti cyclist thread when im getting ready for workdamn. heres the best one i have
>>534108676The Americanoids are ironically based
>>534108676They are against using bikes as a means of transport to and from work..and so am I. I am not some North Korean or Chink bugmen before 1990s so I would pedal like some sort of a serf yokel to my job..fuck that.
>>534109574t.
>>534108676Best frames and parts are made in the USA retard
>>534110005i think that all stopped once you guys quit making GT Zaskars
>>5341086761) my country is bigger than europe2) americans value freedom of movement more than europeans3) norwegians are arrogant midwits who make all their money off oil while criticizing americans for "worshipping big oil"
>>534108676because cycling turns you into an opportunistic asshole
>>53410981715 years of gym. No, I just equate non recreational usage of bikes with communists and liberals.
>>534110316>norwegians are arrogant midwits who make all their money off oil while criticizing americans for "worshipping big oil"great point
>>534109574I ride my bike to work. I gave up my car two years ago. As a result, I now work one week less per month because I no longer have to pay for a car.
>>534110191Probably. Surly's new bike sucks, most other manufacturers have gone to aluminum and Americans are adding shit like wireless Bluetooth shifters to bikes.
>>534110384I equate My Little Pony with pedos and furry faggots.
>>534108676We have bicycles in America, and people ride them for fun and as a form of transportation. What is the point of this thread?
>>534110191>i thinkStopped reading there leaf because that's impossible.
>>534110939zaskars were aluminum. best frames ever made>>534111245im from bongland as it happens, so mentation is actually quite fantastical thanks mate
>>534111344Steel is best or carbon if you are a road fag. Aluminum is a budget option, only appeal is price.
>>534108676Please stop making this thread. You're making us look like total faggots and it's embarrassing.
>>534110316>>534108862I apologize. OP somehow escaped the insane asylum. We're triangulating his position as we speak.
>>534111433>Aluminum is a budget option, only appeal is price.why is it? you really need to reappraise your perspective dude. not rusting is a really wonderful property
>>534111560its ok pal i know the feeling.
>>534108676
>>534108676its just what we were born into, and our cities are hellscapes so people with any means moves out to the suburbs where theres a little space
>>534108676Bikes in USA are either road hogging lycra clad WASPs with inflated entitlement ofnthe road ans black ghetto YNs doing wheelies whilst intimidating the public.
I've never understood these neurotic anti-car or anti-bicycle cultures.Transportation isn't a political statement, it's just transportation.You use whatever is more convenient to you and that's it.Can you people please be normal?
>>534111739I take it laws are different in the US for zebra crossings? He could have at least slowed down a bit and showed some caution.
>>534108916Why would you even cycle on that road in the first place? What a retard.
>>534108676the first time I saw a bike I started crying and shitting my pants, which was odd because I wasnt in a walmart at the time
>>534108676I would but traveling by bike is arguably harder than just walking here. You inevitably reach places where you have to bike/walk thru grass or bike/walk in the street where normies on their phones and jeets in semi trucks are going 60 mph / 100 kph. Then there’s the permanent 90% + humidity in the south for 6 months, giant amounts of snow in the northern regions, absolutely nothing being within distance in flyover states etc etc.
>>534111949The freedom to move around is as politically relevant as the freedom to speak freely. The fact that Americans are essentially forced into cars basically means we have to pay a tax to oil producers, car manufacturers, and insurance jews.
>>534108676you can always tell these threads are a slide / LARP when the bike in the OP doesn't have fenders.Go look at pictures of masses of bikes in bikable cities. Every fucking one of them has fenders. People don't like to get to where they're going and have a stripe of mud up their backside.
>>534113031its a fair point......unless they only ride in dry weather.
>>534108676Cyclists are fucking annoying don't pretend they are not
>>534108676Not a fan of cycling. I like running more.
>>534108676I don't think about bicycles in the same way I don't think about comic books and soccer and other children's activities.
>>534113237cycling is merely running on wheels.
>>534108676They ride four abreast across a lane doing 12 MPH when the speed limit is 45, refusing to let vehicle traffic pass. Try going anywhere Sunday morning in Austin. Every cycler should be run over and killed.
>>534113031This is what eurofags do with their bicycles, dispatch them in the nearest body of water.
>>534110316>thinks having bike infrastructure means you can't have cars
>>534113408those cunts are the reason for all the bike hate i swear. i've been around the world 2x on a bike and i cant stand those arrogant faggots, and they cant stand me either.they are a thing unto themselves.
>>534113642Some dude I work with is one of those types, a huge fucking chip on his shoulder for anyone who dares to drive a car on the road, always bragging about how he holds his ground against vehicles. He’s been in the hospital for two weeks now with a fractured leg, pelvis, and shoulder blade after refusing to give way when he felt he shouldn’t have to, lol.
>>534113638>Bike infrastructureWhat do you mean like those dirt bike tracks or skate parks? We have those.
>>534108676using your legs is for trannys and leftists
>>534108676Because we're not poor like you, Mohammed.
America is not a nation. It's a shopping mall. People live in a box, move around in a box and when they move, they go to another box.
>>534113926No actual cycling infrastructure like we have in NL. We still drive cars
>>534108676Do you have any damn clue about how big the US is ?
>>534114247How many of your country could fit in the USA?
>>534114377>>534114447>can't comprehend governing on a regional level
>>534113833they are no different to the 'angry vegan' types. fucking arrogant cult like fuckers. they treat anyone else on a bike not like theres the same way btw, and a lot of bikes shops are the same way. its a pride issue.
>>534114726Fucking lol, your country is the size of a postage stamp.
>>534108676>>534108862>>534111560>>534110316Gotta cross a football field, not ride up and down some hills
>>534108676Spaces in between places
>>534111949Sorry, anon, non Americans need to keep up an armory of things to hate Americans about.t. cyclist of 34 years
>>534113500It is how we farm them. We feed them car batteries too.
>>534114377Yes. The the continental USA is just a little smaller than Europe.That doesn't really help your argument, does it?
>>534116655*contiguous/mainland, but you maybe already understood that.BTW I also find it ridiculous when you pull the same "too big" argument for things like fiber internet or other stuff. What the fuck made you like this.
>>534108676Bicycles are gay. Europoors like bicycle seats because y'all are gay.
>>534108676Decades of propaganda by General Motors.
>>534108676Why would I do that when I can have a motorcycle?
>>534108676Because mainland Europe has more homosexuals and transgenders.
>>534116609Oh, those bicycle sprouts, my mistake.
>>534108916Jesus christ thats gruesome
>>534111002Kek you got his ass good.
>>534108676american use bicycle more then europians.
>>534116469I feel like I've seen you on the road side
>>534108916Is he ok?
>>534108676>unlike EuropeansBitch, cyclonegroes are like greenfaggots: everyone with a functional brain fucking hate them but the kikes push them to the front because their demands are noxious as fuck to the rest of the population.>b-but bicycle goodBicycle good. But some fucking reason the average human lose 60IQ point once on it and make the usual nigger look like a model of civilized behaviour. They combine the certainty of being on the right side of the law&moral if shit hit the fan that pedestrians have, with the "it will hurt you more than me" mindset of people in/on a vehicle. The combo result in a squishy retard that give 0 fucking fuck about the most basic safety, common sense, or even the law of physics & visibility.White vans and taxis used to be the most retarded assholes you could encounter on the road. But cyclonegroes took the first spot with enough margin everyone else got disqualified - our gov got the retarded idea to give them *one very specific* exception to red light, and those apes-on-wheels decided no red light ever apply to them ever now. You aren't even safe from them on foot either, since they happily take the fucking sidewalks at full speed on a whim.
>>534108676Europoors get a hotel after going 40 miles.An enormous amount of Americans drive 20, 40, 80, 100 mile round trips to one store or as a daily commute. The time sink it takes to to cycle somewhere, feed yourself, do maintenance, is a blight on the high costs already sunk on the automobile. An average quality automobile tire literally retails at the same price as a good bike tire.
>>534116655Europeans live their entire lives in areas smaller than an american county. Biking round trip across a single county daily would be a full time job.
>>53411813680% of Americans live in urban areas. If all your needs are still far away then your urban planning might just be shit
>>534118543Maybe your urban areas are just made for roaches I don't like being stacked on top of people Americans even in urban areas have large yards sorry you live like a bug
>>534108676Because our country is basically the size of the entire European continent.You have no idea how BIG the US is, you fucking moron. Bikes are toys for children or for hobbyists; they are not a serious form of transportation for an adult man.
>>534112017You expect any if that from a nog?
>>534108676nah its just that they... cant ride a bicycle.poltards posting gore cyclists video are litteraly too fat to ride, they hate it coz they r unfit even to stand on a bike.its grim
>>534118973Your country isn't even the size of my state bikes aren't feasible for a country 50 times the size of yours
>>534113833I don't live in Austin any more (thank God) but the cops hate the bikers as much as anyone. Every week a group gets plowed over and nothing happens legally in most every case. So at least there's that.
>>534118675>mutt literally can't comprehend good urban planning
>>534119425Because I'm not an urbanite like you I look outside and see nothing but trees and lakes
>>534112017he was black. they don't care.
>>534108676All road dirt is on her ass and back, because of no fenders. The fact that she uses a bike with no fenders in such weather and terrain is a direct consequences of her being retarded.
>>534108676We have drunk Mexicas, pajeets, and women high on SSRIs driving here, it's not safe to ride a bike anymore.
>>534112017Depends on the signage. If that is a bike path with yeild to cyclists signs, then it was the driver's fault. If that is a pedestrian path that cyclists are just using, it's 100% the cyclists fault. Most places in the US, they're supposed to operate on a street like a car, unless they have a bike lane.
>>534119755Man, I fucked up the grammar on that one. Also yield*.
>>53411955580% of your country is. Just because your local trailerpark doesn't benefit doesn't mean your countrymen's environments can't be improved
>>534108676>Why are Americans so vehemently against bicycles unlike Europeans? Is it their love for Big Oil and the automotive industry?A quick search claims that TheNetherlands is the country with the highest, or one of the highest uses per person for bicycle usage. A government study from the Netherlans, claims the average daily distance bicycled per person, is about “The average person in the Netherlands cycles approximately 3 kilometers (about 1.8–2 miles) per day.”. Meanwhile, Walmart employees who wore tracking devices found this about the average distances the employees were walking per shift. “ Walmart employees, particularly in Online Grocery Pickup (OGP/picking), apparel, or stocking roles, typically walk 5 to 10+ miles per shift (roughly 10,000–25,000+ steps). ”So basically, the average Walmart floor employee is likely walking more than twice the distance the average Dutch person bicycles, and possibly 5 times the distance or more, and the Dutch are the population in the World that supposedly bicycle the most. Either, very few people in The Netherlands actually fucking bicycle, and the statistics are being significantly raised by people bicycling tens of miles per day for commuting, or bicycling isn’t really that efficient, and bicycle advocates are ignorant asshats promoting shit technology.
>>534108676Bicycles don't have A/C and very limited storage space. I can put large items in my car and still be comfortable. I like riding my bike, but I do it in places designed for riding bikes.
>>534119255Do you drive across your entire "state" daily? Why do you need to do that?
>>534116655Wisconsin is about 1/3 the size of Germany yet Germany has 84,000,000 while we have 6 million. With that many people stuffed into a small space if everyone drove the roads would probably be packed. The roads are already full around here and we have nowhere near the population density.
>>534119949Urbanites aren't my countrymen they are faggots and niggers the fact you assume rural living is just trailer trash trash tells me you have this ivory tower mindset your not progressive and forward thinking your just gay
>>534120087The closet town to me is almost 50 miles away
If it’s close, walking is better. If it’s far, driving is better. Bicycles are for the poor and homosexual.
>>534108676Too fat on average
>>534108916I hope the doggy is okay
>>534111584What is paint. Steel absorbs minor impacts better resulting in less rider fatigue and holds up better over time.
>>534110407It makes sense if you don't have to drive a long route. I don't think I would like the idea to drive every morning 35km to my job and 35km back with my bike
>>534108676Because some retards decided they go on the road instead of the sidewalk so 1 bike can basically shut down a whole lane of traffic.
>>534108676>whynigga stole my bikeit is not just a memeyou retarded snow nog
>>534110005I miss my Redline 340.
>>534112165It's the law. They're not allowed on the sidewalk where they belong.
>>534108916Sadly very unfortunate. I'm a cyclist, but I see what happened here. The bus tried to move away from him but a car was overtaking it at the same time so it couldn't go far enough to the right. Nothing could be done here besides making the conscious effort to always fall in the curb's side. But even then he'd have died since he wasn't even wearing a helmet. Actually maybe a helmet would have saved his life since his head would hit the side of the bus before hitting the ground which would make him fall a bit further and not directly under the bus. Maybe.
>>534120297it rusts inside, you know that? you cant stop it
>>534120693Sidewalk riding is more dangerous. I saw my boomer neighbor nearly get killed twice in the span of 30 seconds because cars pulled out from lots i to the sidewalk. More close calls for her in 30 seconds of riding on the sidewalk than I see in a year of riding on the road.
>>534121629definitely. dont do it.
>>534120973People still ride 30 year old steel frames. You are clutching at pearls.
>>534121629Somehow pedestrians don't have that problem. Here's an idea, dipshit, maybe don't fly across an intersection without looking. It's no wonder everyone hates bikeholes.
>>534109247AI generated?
>>534121846its a fact though. my AL frame will outlast your rusting steel frame everytime. dont get me wrong, i like steel frame and have several. but the unjust criticism of aluminum frames doesn't have much to stand on.
>>534120605>OK, roads have been great for these cars, but there's this new invention called a bicycle...Fucking idiot. Bikes were on the road 50 years before cars were. They were on the road before cars, and shitty drivers have never been able to take their rights away despite trying.>shut down a whole lane of trafficWait for an opening in the adjacent lane and the. pass. It's not hard, I drive and do it all the time. Skill issue.
>>534122068>Bikes were on the road 50 years before cars were.And pedestrians were there before either. We moved them to the sidewalk.>why shouldn't we put shit on the road?>just go around the obstruction bro
>>534121939>Just ride in such a way as to defeat the purpose of your bikeRetard, learn to fucking drive.
>>534122304>And pedestrians were there before either. We moved them to the sidewalk.Side whats?
>>534122068Before cars roads were used by horse & carriage. The bicycle is a Talmudic abomination.
>>534122319>I always have the right of wayYou're not a fucking ambulance, asshole. Everyone has to yield at an intersection sometimes. You do too.
>>534122443They still are in many areas. Horse and buggies are perfectly street legal where I live. I pass them safely when I drive.
>>534122601i see horses parked in the walmart lot regularly.
I think I'm gonna get an electric skateboard. I have a manual one but our roads are really shit so having some board that lets you go 30 miles and cruise with better wheels would be nice. More compact than a bike and instead of throwing rocks at you and calling you a retard they want to have sex with you and think it looks cool.As long as it's a real board and not those fag one-wheels.Also a board takes at least some level of skill and coordination and is more fun, whereas a bike is just boring.
>>534122365>the little road we made to keep people out of car traffic is called a walk so you can never have wheels there
>>534122581Should I listen to you or listen to the law? Think I'll listen to the law and continue to ride on the road. Smell my sweaty ass, bitch.
>>534122716According to the law in many areas yes, actuslly. Sidewalk cycling fucking sucks and doesn't work well for actual transportation. It's dangerous, inefficient, and not something I need to do.Your shitty posts aren't the law, lol. You have zero power over me, you have no clue what you're talking about you aren't even a cyclist. Fuck off
>>534108676Its a fucking retarded death sentence in this country. Let alone the fact that the country has been designed around cars, the weather and geography both make bicycle travel fucking suck. Rain in the northwest, desert in the south, humidity and heat in the south east, frostbite and stupid fucking hot and humid and mosquitoes in the Midwest, etc. Even if our cities and homes were denser and we didn't have hour plus commutes, it would still suck. American geography is not easy mode gay European plains and river valleys with temperate weather. North America has vastly harder terrain and wilder weather.
>>534122673Get a electric unicycle instead. I wish those weren't so expensive for turd worlders like me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4xKNdwq8fA
>>534122601We have tractors too, but not in high traffic areas with sidewalks. If you tried to drive a john deer through town the cops would make you put it on a trailer so you're not impeding traffic.
>>534122068>OK, roads have been great for these cars, but there's this new invention called a bicycle...>Fucking idiot. Bikes were on the road 50 years before cars were. They were on the road before cars, and shitty drivers have never been able to take their rights away despite trying.>shut down a whole lane of traffic>Wait for an opening in the adjacent lane and the. pass. It's not hard, I drive and do it all the time. Skill issue.Look up old film footage from the USA, and a number of other countries. The bicycle may have existed before the car, and the Dandy Horse, before the bicycle existed, but in most US cities, barely anyone was actually riding bicycles. Most people were either walking, or taking horse drawn carriages or horse drawn trams on tracks, or riding horses. Very few people rode bicycles, and once cars came into existence, the cars were adopted way quicker than the bicycle ever was, to the point were film footage from before the 1920s, routinely shows people walking, and people still being transported by horse drawn carriages and trams, and people being transported by cars, with maybe one or two bicyclists in an entire 10 minute film covering miles of distance. There will routinely be just as many people riding horses as riding bicycles. Bicycles were really never popular in the USA.
>>534122923Once again fag clown shit just like a lot of the biker stuff.When you ride a skateboard all the kids run outside to look at the board and all the women wish that they were with a skater. Some fag one wheel you might as well get two so your boyfriend can use one and you can wear matching outfits.
>>534122779>>534122881I know it's the law. The law is stupid. Pedal bikes don't belong with motor vehicles >>534108916
>>534123051lol
>>534122304>Bikes were on the road 50 years before cars were.>And pedestrians were there before either. We moved them to the sidewalk.>why shouldn't we put shit on the road?>just go around the obstruction broSidewalks have existed since Ancient Rome and Greece. Some ancient cities not only have sidewalks, but also directional arrows on streets, to direct wagon traffic, to prevent conflict. Incidentally, Paris literally banned the Dandy Horse from riding on sidewalks within a decade of its invention, because Dandy Horse riders were such obnoxious Twats.
>>534108676Because basically all of the US is a lot hotter than most all of Europe on top of everything being far apart.And that's without bicyclists being the most insufferable faggots who have graced the face of this earth.I say this as someone who bikes a ton, just on bike paths and not on the roads where it'd be an idiotic mode of transportation for me.
>>534123065riding on the sidewalk is retarded, childish, and dangerous. just tuck in to the side of the road, you'll be fine.
>>534122881>According to the law in many areas yes, actuslly. Sidewalk cycling fucking sucks and doesn't work well for actual transportation. It's dangerous, inefficient, and not something I need to do.>Your shitty posts aren't the law, lol. You have zero power over me, you have no clue what you're talking about you aren't even a cyclist. Fuck offLaws vary by state and municipality in the USA. In my city, riding bicycles on the sidewalk is against the law, (unless the rider is a minor), and in my state, riding on sidewalks is generally against the law in designated “business districts”. Also, most bicyclists are rude obnoxious assholes.
>>534108676>KUCK MACHINEit's printed right there on the side!
>>534123311You can keep saying that all you like, but it's obviously not true. Bikes are much more like joggers than cars, and joggers go on the sidewalks. Bikes should go there too.
>>534123272Not only is it hotter, it's actually colder and windy-er too. We think of Europe being the cold continent but its not.
>>534111433steel is way cheaper than aluminum and it rides like fucking shitmodern aluminum frames are almost as good as carbon fiber frames
>>534123800definitely not. really very much not. you only need a couple feet at the side of the road and you're good. believe me, ive been doing it for 35 years, all over the world
Here’s the thing. I live in a very small town with under 1,000 people in it with a much larger town of like 100,000 a 20-30 min bike ride down the road. It’s very walkable and bikable and I do have a bike that I use to get around sometimes, but in basically every way it’s inferior to walking or driving. If it’s far enough to justify using a bike rather than walking, it’s far enough to justify using my car or truck. If it’s a trip for items I can’t carry by hand, then a car or truck is justified. Bikes are just objectively inferior to automobiles and motorcycles in every way. I sincerely don’t know why eurocucks even use them anymore.
>>534111584love my ally frame, had it 20+ years, a lot of frame will only accept sprung forks which is a nope from me
>>534124019Nah stay off the road
>>534124182if you put some luggage racks on a bike you'll find that unless you're trying to buy stuff for longer than a week or so, you can easily manage the bulk and weight on the bike. 120lbs is pretty easy to carry on a bike.
>>534108676Children ride bikes, grown-ups drive cars.
>>534114167True. Even their bodies start to resemble boxes
>>534124194a well made AL frame is going to last you a lifetime. i type this as i sit next to my bike that has been around the world 2.5x fully loaded, and i wasn't gentle on it really. and i dont hvae to worry about rust. its nice.>>534124196tell me you haven't ridden anywhere without telling me you haven't ridden anywhere.
You have to wear fancy cycling clothing or neighbors/coworkers will think you are an alcoholic or there is something wrong with you.
>>534124019>you only need a couple feet at the side of the roadLike this dude? >>534108916Actually you need what amounts to a whole lane because if a car moves over far enough to not turn you into a smoothie, they're in the other lane. There is, however, another place that would be perfect for 200lb objects moving at 15 mph.
>>534113031Not one bike lock can be seen....
>>534124710not sure what the problem was there but ive been in similar situations lots of times. in my experience bus drivers are assholes and dont give a fuck. they actively attack cyclists in fact. the few times ive nearly been struck by a vehicle have been from bus and/or coach drivers.not sure why that is.
>>534117093Here have another..
>>534124327>if you put some luggage racks on a bike you'll find that unless you're trying to buy stuff for longer than a week or so, you can easily manage the bulk and weight on the bike. 120lbs is pretty easy to carry on a bike.120lbs can be moved in a large foldable shopping cart as well, which I know because I’ve done it, without risking being hit by a car. And volume wise, unless you’re in certain Asian countries, were transporting a fucking sofa by bicycle is common, pretty much nobody in the USA transports large bulky items by bicycle, unless the person has a separate wagon attached to the back of the bicycle.
>>534125266>a large foldable shopping cart as well,sure. can you walk it home at 12mph?
>>534125241What city is this?
>>534125369>sure. can you walk it home at 12mph?Can you ride 120lbs. of stuff on your bike home safely, at 12mph? In a major city?
>>534124493I actually broke my derailleur hanger which was a bitch, had to find a decent ally welder, redrill and retap, all good now though
>>534125241Honestly deserved for trying to overtake a truck on the inside on what looks like a fixie.
>>534108676bicyclists are notorious for being assholeskicking cars and breaking off rear view mirrors and suchalso, the shorts are pretty gay
>>534123272>And that's without bicyclists being the most insufferable faggots who have graced the face of this earth.They aren't, you're just drowning in your own entitlement mentality. Helpful hint: entitlement is only bad when you aren't actually entitled to the thing.
>>534125557i have. passed through many cities, though its best to avoid them if you can. look anon, im not saying nothing can happen to you on a bike....because it can, like with anything, you could get robbed and beaten by niggers on the sidewalk. just telling what ive had from 8 years on the road, including a years in canada and us. you do as you want.
>>534108676Because the only Sport activity for the people allowed is sitting, eating and drinking like a fat fuck, and watching payed Athlets do Sport.
>>534125651it can be done for sure. some frames have a sacrificial hanger that will break before the AL frame starts to suffer too.
That's not a bicycleIt's an electric mopedNo different than an electric car
>>534111584>>Aluminum is a budget option, only appeal is price.>why is it? you really need to reappraise your perspective dude. not rusting is a really wonderful propertyaluminum is best for sure, Steel Reynolds 531 double butted with cool brazed lugs inlaid with dayglo enamel is a meme for retro boomers, way heavier, carbon is ridiculous expensive and not worth it
They arent...Theres a huge bike industry in the US and plenty of americans own and ride bikes. You just accepted a generalization thats not nescessarily true
>>534108816that fat retard makes 13k a month in pattaya
>>534125789Oh no. Those poor cars.All they wanted to do is run over children and be a nuisance to society.This is fit privilege at its worst.
>>534126057good steel is nice for sure i dont deny it. but AL is very good too when done well.
>>534108676Because they attract niggers
>>534126050This is one of the issues with bicyclists. The bicyclists routinely travel in congested areas at way higher speeds than cars do, which result in accidents severely injuring the bicyclist, and the bicyclists and bicycle community then blame the car, or whatever rlse the bicycle ran into, rather than blaming the bicyclists for being a dangerous reckless ass.
>>534126321>bicyclistsI also call them that kekfuck 'em
>>534108676die faggot

>>534114167>America is not a nation. It's a shopping mall. People live in a box, move around in a box and when they move, they go to another box.yeah, well, like, you know, that's just like your opinion, man
>>534108676My city is too big for bikes. I'm not biking 4 hours a day to and from work.
>>534120034>>Why are Americans so vehemently against bicycles unlike Europeans? Is it their love for Big Oil and the automotive industry?>A quick search claims that TheNetherlands is the country with the highest, or one of the highest uses per person for bicycle usage.Holland is flat and beautiful and civilised, no turbo rednecks in lifted trucks
>>534108676We have bikes in our car, dude.
>>534108676Because the nearest store is a 45 minute bike ride from my house and my job is a 2 hour bike ride away. Bikes are for children and homeless people.
>>534126392jfc he could have killed him throwing his head on the pavement, what an absolute mongoloid savage
>>534126998ideally you should never have to dismember a bike in that fashion. its not good
>>534126448Would all the women in that pic.
>>534127219sorry, all boys
>>534108916I wonder if that old woman will need therapy after this.
>>534111739Bikers such retarded entitled cunts, he really expects cars to see him zooming through and have 1 second reaction time to stop for him at cross walk. The normal people wait at the cross walk until cars stop and then proceed to cross
>>534126743>Holland is flat and beautiful and civilised, no turbo rednecks in lifted trucksThe rural Holland bumfuck farmers literally protested at the Hague with tractors, and farm equipment that sprays fertilizer, that was basically shit. A tractor is taller than a pickup with a lift kit, and goes slower.
>>534127219>Would all the women in that pic.
>>534127701shes trying to look like most faggots on those bikes feel. what a bunch of arrogant cunts they are
>>534127068>jfc he could have killed him throwing his head on the pavement, what an absolute mongoloid savageBicyclists. “Look at how much toad space is taken by cars compared to bicycles”. Next bicyclist argument. “you are legally required to hive me the same amount of road space as a car ir pickup truck, and if you come near me, you’re violating my safety, and rights, and I’ll shoot you”. No wonder drivers and pedestrians think of bicyclists as hypocritical assholes.

>>534125241>>534124019Street is good but always have a good mirror and always see what's coming from behind, a large truck spontaneously cut two right lanes and cut me off like this video except he was not even in the turn lane and I was on the sidewalk. Also going through neighborhoods cars will spontaneously pull out or into their driveway from the opposite side of the road it looks like they're pulling over to let you pass for a split second
>>534127066Sounds like you're a fellow ruralfag. Yeah, when you live in the rural US, it's better to just drive a car. At worst use public transport.
>>534126227DAZED AND CONFUSEDkek
>>534128318sure. riding in busy places isnt easy, i get it. sharpens the senses
I don't remember it always being like this but today 50% of cars block the sidewalks not even looking, like step 1 of crossing an intersection for them is blocking the sidewalk, step 2 is use no blinker and 50% have blackout tint could be masturbating or looking at their phone.
>>534127066>Be married>Be /fit/>Be not a Lycra wearing faggotCars are for fat cowards.
>>534108676My commute to work varies, right now it is approximately 23 miles. It takes me 25 minutes on the highway by car, it would take me 2 and a half hours by bike on the back roads, and our weather isnt the same all the time. So no, fuck you, I wont be riding your two wheeled fag mobility device to work, thank you very much, Norgay.
>>534128318Like I tell motorcycle nubies ride like you are invisible, because you are, they don't see you.
>>534128757euros dont really understand distances. they think they do.but they dont
Cars are deadlier than any Wooley mammoths or bears have ever been it's past time for them to go the way of natalism and go extinct. The trillions of dollars economically is keeping cars alive. I have high hopes for ebikes or other conservative transportation. Trains and cars weigh so many goddamn tons.
Important reminder to cageys that cyclists and bikers own the city. They do not have to obey by cage-rules. https://youtu.be/msIhsk_8EdA
>>534108676Because you have to take away lanes meant for cars. And people have places to go. A bike is slow. Imagine 100k wagies trying to get to their jobs in 35 Celsius weather. In a car, they get there fast. On a bike, they take forever to arrive. Then where are you gonna fit 100k bikes moving slowly and using the same route?A car is still the fastest way to get places.
>>534128710Get skin cancer from biking 1+ hours every day, under the sun.
>>534121629the danger was a car....on the sidewalk?shut the fuck and stay out of the road
>>534108676Cyclists are cunts who take up road what ain't theirs. I hate them.
>>534129801a shirt does wonders in hot conditions. ideally a long sleeve medium weight cotton shirt and a nice wide brim hat. but yeah, i wouldnt commute in those conditions either if possible
>>534129857Do you know what a driveway is?
>>534126575how long do you have to drive in order to get some eggs and bread from the nearest store?
>>534129857Pretty fuckin dumb statement. The sidewalk and the road is like where the road crosses a train track w out the beeping and closing gate
Jesus Christ /pol/ how are you this easily baited by a 1pbtid. Dead internet. You're all bots.fuck you.
>>534108916AI?
>>534130489nice, since you're OP anyway.
>>534130489>Jesus Christthat's a different thread.
>>534108916Did this shit happen in america
>>534108676American here we are very frightened of riding a bicycle because we have so many hills herealso only homosexuals and small children ride bikes here
>>534108676You can't really have bike culture here, it's a low trust country and people hate both pedestrians and cyclists
>>534108676They see it as a condemnation of their lifestyle, same reason why people get livid at vegans
>>534111433Not true. Aluminum is good for mountain bikes(real mountain biking). Ive seen a bunch of carbon fails over the years. Its a hotly debated subject, but whatever.here is a high end ali only brandhttps://www.commencal.com/ca/en/homepage.html?lang=en_CA

>>534108676We aren't opposed, but our country isn't structured to make bicycle commutes practical for most people.
>>534129308>I have high hopes for ebikesnewsflash - ebikes are now 20HP and killing people, will soon be regulated as motorcycles
>>534111739i almost ran over a cyclist in the exact same situationhe was hidden behind my A-pillar until the last second
>>534129078It's like trying to explain large numbers to a nigger when you try to explain how large our countries are to the euro mind
>>534136301i grew up in the UK and can readily understand how they feel
>>534112165It actually is the law. I’ve been stopped by police twice in 2 months riding my bike on the sidewalk. Cop asks for id, where you going? I stopped riding. I only rode the thing for 2 months off an on. Never heard of that law before.
>>534136567Most euros have never been here though it's something that has to be experienced to understand
>>534136741america, is a big land....let them not come here, 'tis silly
>>534130111This never get old
>>534135886Was this the crash were the kid sped past cars stopped at a railroad crossing, before hitting the crossing gate, which knocked the kid onto the ground while he moved about 10 feet forward, before coming yo a stop on the tracks, all while his bike travelled forward 40 or more feet, before stopping when it hit a large sign, with the kid then getting hit by the oncoming train, all while someone was freaking out, whole standing around, instead of pulling the kid off the tracks? The video is over on Crazyshit in their “people having a bad day collection from a couple days ago.
