>2016 >not biking around campus and/or town Literally

I do but i am in the middle of a frozen tundra in minnesota and dont have the gear for winter cycling

but I've been doing this since 2015

>>35589813

cyclists are faggots with no regard for rules of the road.

hope you get hit by a car.

>>35589813
i bike to work most of the time but its winter now and while the cold doesnt bother me the snow and ice on roads does

>>35589813
>biking
>not skating

only girls and cucks who won't even learn how to skate would bike

>>35591368
wtf i only see girls long board around. lol

>>35591309
THIS

College-campus-bikers are the most obnoxious and self-righteous people there is. If you've ever been to UCSB or Goleta, you have badass white girls who flew out into an intersection without even so much as to turn her goddamn bird head to check for oncoming traffic

We almost killed 3 drunk bikers, 5 ditsy female bikers who giggle at almost being killed and numerous other bikers who seem to think only they exist on the road

>>35591394
they're doing for attention if they look like they're gonna fall off their daddy-paid-for longboards

if they ride a pennyboard, it's ok to spit at them in disgust because noone deserving of respect would spend upwards of $100 for a tiny piece of shit plastic

plus, pennyboard-riders are often dumb whores who want to be "one of the guys" without realizing how dumb her pink pennyboard is

>>35591368

>skateboarding
>longboarding

>not corny white boi
>not man-child

Why on earth would I need one?

>>35589813
no thanks. ill stick with my motorcycle. what are legs for anyway?

>>35591467
BECAUSE IT USES MORE LOWERBODY MUSCLES

you would have known this if you skated, but no, you've just gotta buy a $200+ bike to prove some sort of point about how much you love exercising

>>35589845
I have the gear, but it's unsafe to bike under about 10°F because your breath freezes and impairs your vision

>>35589813
i commute to work by bike each day.

>26km total each day
>cycle straight to gym every 2 days for lifts
>tfw every day is cardio day

i love it /fit/. and i love the mires my legs and butt get at work

>>35589813
Ive actually been doing this for the past 6 months. Need to buy a new bike though. Got about 500$ to spend, give or take. Any suggestions?

>>35591843

Wat? I bike in Wisconsin year round. I just wear the same gear I wear for cross country skiing. A good mask and goggles are great for temps like I had this morning at -5deg F. No such thing as temps too cold man.

If you are such a failure of human being that you can't own and operate a motor vehicle then you should just kill yourself

>>35591358

Just pickup a studded tire or two. Of you can only afford one, put it on the front. That will give you the most control.

Such a great feeling. I literally save 5-10 mins everyday on my commute this way.

My brother. Scattante reporting in. There was once a huge traffic jam at a corner near my uni. Cars backed up a quarter mile. Felt so damned good just zooming past all of them on the shoulder.

>in bad mood
>go to commute to uni on bike
>instantly feel amazing, like a happy kid again

There's also a lot of parking issues here, tickets everywhere, people cruising around for half an hour looking for a spot. Feels good to coast on in and lock up at a rack. No ticket worries, ever. Carfags are cucks. Keep paying the petrol and ticket jews.

>cleaned baby and gave her fresh oil yesterday
>30 F out

So hard to get the grit off the itty bitty bits in the gears. Even a toothbrush doesn't reach it all. What do?

They don't do shit. No point.

>just walk hurr

Let me walk a mile both ways 2-3x a day, right. If I bike it takes me less than 5 minutes. If I walk it takes 3-4x that. (Includes waiting at the light, calculation autists.) Not everyone lives in a dorm you freshie. Good luck fucking bitches while your roomie watches.

If you're too fat to ride a bike you can just say so senpai

I'd love to bike more, it's my sport of choice. But living in the north of Iceland somewhat lessens my chances.
Can't wait for spring though

Your mother when she stops by for cum.

really now

I started cycling when I was 6 or do and had to cycle 20km/day when I went to highschool. We dutchies pretty much live on our bikes. Even when its pouring, we dont give fuck and cycle with a umbrella.

>>35592305
Go on. Amuse me.

>>35592305
1. The fact that I need to explain it to you.
2. The 'your mother' comment is something a 15 year old, or at least a person with the mental capacity of a 15 year old.

>>35592347

meant for >>35592332

>>35592347
1. You got frustrated at what someone said on a Norwegian Cigar Imgur
2. You're a cuck
3. You like bikes because you can't afford a drive way of cars like me.

>>35591805
>$200+ bike
/n/ here.
Bikes start at $600
Everything below that is a bike shaped object (BSO).

>only girls and cucks who won't even learn how to skate would bike
I am 32, I would look a right tit skating about.

>>35592371
But anon. I didn't get frustrated. I have a car as well as a bike. Best of both worlds bro.

Who here training for an event?

Houston reporting in and I'll be doing the MS150 for the first time this year.

>>35592133
If there are no major hills on your commute, seriously consider a single speed.
Has a lot less maintenance and is more efficient once you're up to speed.
It just sucks if you have hills or a lot of traffic lights and need to haul stuff.

>>35592330
>cycle with a umbrella.

I saw my housemate doing this and called him a faggot. He also cycles with a swaying wide kneed stance like a clown. Just wear raingear. I use that swooshy tracksuit shit. Works without looking like a faggot.

>>35592373

>bike retails 1600-1800
>some bitch rode 20 miles on it, seriously, in 2 years and sold it to me for 175
>was kept indoors and everything

Score one for the poorfag. I've ridden department store bikes and they don't even compare. Think my speed doubled when I switched.

>>35592416
>if you have hills or a lot of traffic lights

Both of these. It's also a bike for longer distance fun rides.

So many nooks and crannies to clean, though.

Not everyone's a freshman, you GDI autist. It's about a mile walk from my frat house and I either hike it or have pledges drive me.

Again, only geed faggots bike.

>So many nooks and crannies to clean, though.
The easiest way is to take off the wheel, remove lockring and cassette (you need a lockring removal tool and a chainwhip to do this properly) and just clean it seperately.

If you want it to be like new, boil the cassette in a pot with water and detergent, then dump the water and put the pot back on the stove with only the cassette in it until it's completely dry inside and out, then re-lube.

Yes, some people are actually autistic enough to care this much.

>>35589813
My school is on a hill in upstate New York. It snows every other day. A bike isn't worth it for me senpai.

That's impressive. That might become a quarterly or biannual thing but like hell I'm doing that every month. Wow. Still might be fulfilling to get it all shiny and new looking, though.

>biking to work
I'd rather not be sweaty as hell when I get to the office.
