Reminder that bicycles actually makes the establishment seethe.
>duuuuh no dey hate cars
You chump. Think about how much money you spend on cars. They fucking LOVE cars. You'd have a lot less roads if they didn't.
>cars are freedom
After proving to the state you're a good boy, then paying money for the "privilege" of using your good boy points, then putting in a fuel that is controlled by a small number of insanely rich corporations, and only then on certain roads and until a light bulb changes.
Motorcycles are acceptable as well.
I fuckin love bicycles. Though, get yourself some derailleurs, Nigel.
I was about to call you a cunt, but
>Motorcycles are acceptable as well.
You redeemed
Motorcycles appeal to the same urge in the white man that made the knights suit up and charge into battle on horseback.
There's nothing better than cycling to shop to buy beer and then cycling home or to park to drink them simple as
>double testicle damage is good
lol
If your balls are fragile you can buy special bike seats that relive pressure, there's even stubby ones that go only on your ass
Unless you pedal like an absolute spastic then your balls take no more of a knocking than walking or running.
All motorised transport is a blight. You'd have a lot less globohomo without it.
Not only that, but who can say how many square miles of rural land and countryside has been torn up and covered in tarmac.
Sailboats are the WHITE man's transport.
That's right, we're caps locking WHITE now.
Biketrials is most common in Germany, Spain, UK, France, Italy and Japan.
I've never seen a black or arab trials rider. It is as white and asian as model railroading.
It makes you strong as an ox, but it wrecks your joints and brain, just like lifting.
Imagine the pinch flats.
I've probably changed tire tubes more than 1000 times.
Street trials has gone tubeless recently, but I don't know how well it works.
>Street trials has gone tubeless
lmao FUCK your rims.
Solids don't respond to force the same way pneumatics do, especially on tension structures like bike wheels. Believe it or not, the pressure of the tire factors into the balancing forces in the wheel.
You couldinfused a rubber compound with bubbles maybe. There must be a way.
There were times when I was a spare rim prepper. Rims, spokes, pedals.
Ali Clarkson has been using Light Bicycle carbon rims tubeless for years now.
But he's world level smooth: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvwYjlVtbtd/
Carbon is such a fucking meme. Then again, when you have manufacturer sponsors throwing components at you, who gives a shit?
Why can't someone invent a compound for solid tyres that performs like air under pressure with no flats?
akshually
The metal mesh tyres? But would they cycle nice?
They're practically unbreakable and the robustness depends on the chemical composition. The metal wheel would be equal to a tyre that never loses pressure, with the additional perk of it being practically unbreakable.
I'm not sure what a regular tyre does in terms of shock absorption, but that would be covered by a suspension system doing a bit more work.
The thing about pneumatic and steel is that you don't need suspension,which adds a lot more weight. Only useful from r downhill MTbs. A new tech would need to compete on equal footing without requiring suspension, unless that can be reinvented to be lighter too.
Oh yeah there are a bunch of kinks that need to be worked out. From some company's prototypes they seem to have done away with a fully metal mesh, just replacing the inner tube with it.
Not having an outer rubber layer probably is impossible if you want to keep certain qualities that make riding a bicycle not a pain in the ass.
All in all something like this will never be viable for large scale production i guess.
That looks pretty cool, I wasn't picturing that
They are sold for niche markets. But they are way heavier, and low-speed bike acceleration is mostly proportional to m_tire/r_tire^2, and they have more friction.
Some rental bikes have them. I used one in Italy with solid tires recently, and it was quite tedious.
israelites
I hate cyclists with a passion
t. commute everyday with a bicycle
>owning a bicycle
True. Real cycle Chad's own more than one.
ebikes are getting better and cheaper every year. It's one of the few nice technological advancements I've seen in a while. They also have the added bonus of not needing licensing, insurance, inspections or registrations. All the israelitery that comes with owning an automobile.
Years ago, on a late summer evening, I saw a lone pensioner quietly ebiking on a hilly backroad between villages.
I always dismissed electric bikes as a fad for consoomers, making trails even more crowded.
But that evening, it hit me that this had changed the world for better, giving many people an access to sports.
An elegant transportation for a more civilized age. Unfortunately unusable in the canucks winter though.
i love throwing handfuls of tacs onto bike lanes
Most urban bikers are insufferable.
But bikes are quiet. A quiet environment is a necessity for a society not falling for the tricks /misc/ often complains about.
Noise creates hyperarousal, which seeks all kinds of degenerate outlets.
>buy bike
>bike gets stolen
>cops shrug their shoulders and go back to viewing cop violence videos and gore on their phones @ the precinct to laugh about it
