I mean at this point they're probably riding bikes with no chains, an unfixie if you will.

Here's some more bridge/truck fun: http://www.ksat.com/traffic/eb-i-10-lower-level-closed-following-18-wheeler-accident Apparently the solution is huge signs that just happen to function as barriers. How do these trucks not have a lockout for the piston if the truck is in drive? Pick your nose and wipe it on the dash and whoops!

Some SF startup already beat them to that, can't look it up now cause I'm on a phone but it's basically an inertia bike. It's about as lovely and unsafe as it sounds.

How about we get this bike poo poo out of the way 1. of course you can draft on a fixed gear. You just have to spin your legs with the pedals which is much different from actually generating power to move forward. Does limit how fast you can go but you are still drafting. Commom gearing will let you get up to nearly 30mph while still being able to turn the pedals while you really start to notice a draft below 20. 2. fixed gear bikes are meant to be raced around a velodrome where lots of riders are going very fast very close to each other. The lack of brakes is actually a safety thing on the track. However, a lot of dipshits ride them around on the street. The singlespeed/fixed thing actually got popular a really long time ago so a lot of the bikes you can buy do actually comes with brakes, it's only the very specific race bikes that do not. This does not stop idiots from removing them to ride around on the street with. 3. They are actually useful to ride because they are cheap and simple, and you can often set them up to coast by turning the wheel/hub the other way so it is a regular siglee speed.. Racers like to ride them because it is supposed to help create a smoother and more efficient pedal stroke. jamal fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Jan 5, 2017 |

 Did he use his feet as brakes on the back wheel? That's super cool.

I see bicyclists tailgating cars and heavy vehicles all the time. Fixie brake or not, they're not going to out-brake a car so so I'm looking forward to seeing more of this:

My favorite part of bicyclists is how they're allowed to dent cars or break mirrors by being retarded but are allowed to cycle away as if it's no big deal.

They're not any more entitled to doing that than car users, and often do it at the cost of physical injury so maybe shut your whore mouth.

You need to be pulling forward as you raise the bed to dump a load. Watch asphalt trucks pouring asphalt into a paver.

I've always liked this video extra because beside the silly awesome bike trick, it puts into perspective how and why scooter entourages cause accidents during bike races.

Yeah I'd forgotten about that bit, but a speed limiter or a separate gear? If you're going over 5 mph and trying to put the bed up to dump, it fails to respond and also you're fired. Asphalt trucks here use hot mix and belly dump trailers, so they actually run over the load pulling away before the paving machine gets there. I chuckled at the "this is my only accident in 5 years!" from the driver. The sign saved the bridge though, so I think we have our solution to the underpass quandary.
