No matter how gud you are, the human body only has enough readily glycogen for about 2.5 hours effort before your energy level falls off a cliff. For rides you expect to take longer than that you need to start eating by about 1.5 - 2 hours in to head off the collapse since it will take your body 30 - 40 minutes to convert that food into a usable form.

Also hydration because dehydration has similar symptoms, though the recovery is faster.

Cycling doesn't get easier, you get quicker.
Need to start hydrating at least by 20 mins into ride. Feeding within 30mins. Practice makes it better.

Nobody said it'd be easy

But did he ever return?
No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned (poor old Charlie)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

Why didn't Charlie's wife just hand him a nickel instead of a sandwich?

These things are doing so badly in China.

Bikes either getting stolen, or just littering everywhere so the police scoops them up and dumps them somewhere.
The Chinese tried to bring this to the UK and the first thing that happened is chavs threw them in the canal.

This business model clearly doesn't work and I don't know how they're making money off it.

>>1093826
In China it is just a way to get people pay the initial deposit. After they get the initial deposit they can use those money to reinvest in anywhere that is more lucrative and risky, and if they can also attract lots of people to sign up for them then they could also attract venture capital which also can be used to invest elsewhere. If things worked out well then those companoes creator can become millionaires, or if something went wrong they can simply dissolve and bankrupt the company. Bikes? Who care about that?

I live in Boston which uses some cunt company called hubway. The livemaps show all the bikes going to the city in the morning, then in the suburbs later at night.

I wake up and go to work, all the bikes are in the city

I come home late at night, no bikes in the city, all of them are in the suburbs. Fucking worthless.

marin is great and that bike is allright.

however I feel like I speak for all of /n/ if I say, I'd much rather get a singlespeed full sus downhill bike

>>1093918
this, if you're looking for a perfect commuter a downhill bike is what you're looking for

Many electric trains are ultimately nuclear powered. But having a nuclear reactor operating on board a train would be incredibly expensive, inefficient and dangerous.

Last one from Chongqing -- any pics of ones in Europe? I haven't run into any outside of ski resorts and such

I mean, you're retarded, but kniw that the point of drops isnt just the drops, but the range of hand postions it can give you as opposed to flatbars' one.
I had a bike with suicide levers and almost never used the drops while I had it; just the flat and the hoods. The more ya ride, the more you'll appreciate hving the drops as an option, though.

>>1090987
Look at a bike race. Modern fit means the drops are uncomfortable enough to never be used unless you're catching wind like there's no tomorrow, and even then they're using a faux TT position with the elbows on the tops if there's no one in front.

It's not the eighties any more. You're not supposed to use the drops except in the utmost extreme circumstances. The hoods should be low and forward enough that you're in an as aero position as bearable in the first place.

>>1090987
It's called 'being a filthy casual'. To exit that status, work on it by actually using the drops.

>>1091000
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Either your bike isn't fitted properly, you're physically disabled, or you're just a gigantic pussy. In any case you're a filthy casual and clueless. Go fix your shit.

the year Queen Victoria died

I now understand the UCI
They're not giving a shit about speed or anything is to make sure the riders don't look too dumb.

Helmets became mandatory in 2003 or so after someone FUCKING DIED so maybe that has something to do with it
