hemale in pain posted:what is cycling culture exactly and how is it cancer?? There are three central pillars (E: of commuter cycling in London) Gotta go fast all the time and gently caress those pedestrians crossing/red lights/giant blind spot truck that they're undertaking at a junction Don't know or care that they're dangerous to everyone around them because 1) cars bad, 2) so I can do whatever I like Spend sickening amounts of money on carbon fibre racing bullshit that they use to commute 10km twice a week through heavy traffic, because why not turn every hobby into consumer capitalism Strategic Tea fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Mar 24, 2022 |

One time a Jimmy Johns cyclist shouted me down and called me a pussy for having a front brake on my bike. I saw him blow thru a four way against the light without brakes or a helmet and into traffic on a one way street like a week later. It made me so hard. Also my city has this legend we call Bumper Bike Guy. He straps the front bumper of a car to the front of his bike and is a hilarious menace on the road. He rolled up to me at a red on this loving thing once. He’s like “Hey, I’m Bumper Bike Guy!” Like yeah bro no poo poo I love you keep being real.

One vid had him following someone diving between two lanes of moving perpendicular traffic and it's just scary to watch.

I saw him blow thru a four way against the light without brakes or a helmet and into traffic on a one way street like a week later. It made me so hard. I'm assuming you're from PGH because there's a Bumper Bike Guy who is a legend around here. I'd always see him riding slowly up and down Ellsworth with a trail of angry cars behind him. I think he ended up getting arrested for robbery, hopefully he springs the joint soon. I love biking here and ride the streets a lot but there's a lot of angry drivers who get mad and yell at me to ride on the sidewalk (especially when I'm riding down steep hills and the sidewalk is often a staircase). Keeps me fit as a fiddle though and biking to work is a blast, as is blowing past MAMIL trail riding spandex sausages on my big heavy steel commuter bike.

Yep. I’m pretty sure Bumper Bike Guy has been in and out of jail a few times. He’s disappeared and reappeared repeatedly as long as I’ve lived here. The bike and the bumper aren’t always the same either, so he’s got a method down for putting that idiot thing together. As hilly and windy as this city is, I can’t imagine trying to ride that thing around like he does. Also, say what you will about Peduto, but bike infrastructure has gotten a lot better since 2010 when I showed up. I’ve got routes most places nowadays with pretty safe bike lane. Lt.

Im a cyclist Only because I hate driving, my partner and I own a car, but litteraly everything we need is a short distance away from home Both our works are < 5 minutes cycle The local shops are a 10 minutes ride away and we get our groceries delivered so it's odds and ends like milk ,proteins or dried goods which I can easily carry on my ad-hoc cargo bike And the city is a 20 minute cycle, which is a bit annoying but it's still better than the 13 minutes car ride and 10 minute drive around to find a spot and then walk from I even bolted a car battery , some headlights and a car horn to my cargo bike Being able to honk at people is Grand I love cycling life My end goal is a speedy recumbent ,for fun A cargo bakfiet ,for moving things And a Brompton style folder for everything in-between Ad-hoc cargo runner  Has a surprising amount of carrying capacity and a modular system for carrying awkward loads My commutor roadie  And old steel road bike from '85 got it for 25 dollars and gave it a paint job and some new hardware, mudguards and 32c wheels for commuting on uneven surfaces and a parcel rack with a compatible modular system to my cargo bike should I need to mix and match Jestery fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Mar 26, 2022 |

I love cycling but I keep to paved trails as much as possible and even then try to avoid high-use times. I'm glad I live in the burbs though because city cycling, even responsibly, seems crazy dangerous.

I ride in urban city streets alot, albeit not as insane as this guy, but you do develop a sense of "flow" and how traffic and light patterns work. Its pretty fun. the drivers are way worse and hate cyclist much more in the suburbs too. Chinatown fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Mar 27, 2022 |

Finished my 50 mile charity ride with an average pace of 17.5. Not bad considering I was mostly solo for the ride. PBJ and Kind bars worked again. I might invest in gels in the future for anything over 30 miles. It's tough to force eat. Got my first puncture! Years of riding and managed to escape unscathed until today. An industrial staple poked right through the rear tire and pierced the tube. I fortunately bought 'peel and stick' patches yesterday. I also brought a pump! Sadly the pump was not up to snuff but a helpful rider let me use one of his CO2 carts which I'll certainly carry from now on. Instant filled tire is a joy, just be sure to fit the wheel on the bike first. Almost couldn't get the filled 700x28s past the calipers.
