If you cannot stop your vehicle within one half of your visual range, you're operating your vehicle too fast.

So some woman pulled out in front of me and I went over the bars, both hubs need a fix but the more important thing is that my rear triangle is bent to one side about half a centimetre.

She's now offering to pay for a whole new bike after saying that she defiantly couldn't afford it. and also wont give me her insurance information and diverts the subject whenever it's brought up. very shifty.

What should I do to make sure I don't get fucked?

Also judge my bike choice general.

Also what bike should I get after I sell the new and old one for parts?

She doesn't have insurance.
Longer you wait = less chance of getting compensation. Tell her that you're going to file a police report and take her to court unless she pays you immediately.

Too late. You need to file police report at the time of the accident. No police report? You are not going to be able to get anything from her unless she feels like it

Ok I'll go to a police station in the morning and see if I can still do it, I took pictures of the scene and plates and have texts from her is this enough?

Im 30 5'7 250lbs. I want to get in shape this year, and Id like bicycling to be my main form of exercise.

Over the last few years my weight has gone up quite a bit, but within the last year I've managed to gain and then lose 40+ lbs with just less eating/bit more activity.

With spring around the corner should I jump right on a bicycle or should I start with walking/jogging. Im going to pick up a cheapish used "hybrid" soon and would like some pointers/past experiences on bicycling as a weight loss/life motivating tool

5'11, 250lbs. Started biking a year ago when I was 40lbs heavier.

Get an indoor trainer and get used to some ass pain and general exertion before you hit the road.

For me at least, I wasn't ready for even baby hills and wind, and it was a harsh awakening to how out of shape I was. Living on the trainer for a couple months really helped.

Step 1 - Go at a hard pace for 45min - 1hour

Step 2 - have a not shit diet. No fried things, no greasy things, no candy, no snacks, no soda. cut your meat intake and processed food intake way down. basically fresh fruits and vegetables should make up 60% of your diet.

repeat forever
>>
>>1059993
Eat less, a lot less, and healthy food like the other anon says. And ride. You won't need diet and training plans. At first ride slow or you will damage yourself. Increase the effort on every ride/ every week a bit. And don't fail for the ´´recovery food´´ or you won't lose your beloved lard. After a ride, if you are hungry, just stay hydrated and wait for the meal/dinner time, and don't eat much. Eat a lot when you are gonna ride hard. Riding at a easy pace before breakfast/empty stomach also helps to lose weight.

I myself started losing weight this year because I wanted to achieve the skeltal mode for an easier riding. I'm 176cm and many years ago weighted 85-88, and then purchased a crappy foldable bike for some easy rides around the bike lanes, stopped eating a lot and lost many kg until I reached 75kg-74kg. Then I purchased a road bike few years ago and lost 4-5kg.And this year purchased a new bike and wanted to ride a lot more, in a couple of months I have lost 2-3kg, currently sitting on 66,5kg, and will stop probably at 62-63, I want a slim body but not going too much skeltal.

For motivation, join one of those pages like endomondo/strava in which you can record your distances/weight loss and stuff like that, you will se it on graphics and probably will motivate you when you see your improvements.

The last tip is to spin, never smash the pedals, always spin, better for your knees.

When you guys commute to work/school/anywhere, where do you keep your helmet? Do you carry it with you? Do you look it up on your bike? Also, how do you look your helmet up on your bike?

I almost never wear a helmet when biking for transportation.
>>
I keep it in the store. I don't wear a helmet on my bike for the same reason why I don't wear one when I'm walking.
>>
I carry it with me when I walk into a store. If I can fit it in my backpack or pannier it goes in there. On hot days I leave it at home. I often climb with it dangling from handlebars to keep my head dry and cool.

I don't wear a helmet for protecting my nogging while transporting. I wear it to avoid extra attention, and sometimes to shield eyes from sun/rain.

A car toll is going to be introduced on German highways and freeways in 2019. Will this have positive consquences for public transport and freight railways?

Freight transport has been tolled in Germany since 2005.

>>
>>1059844
Yes, and now passenger cars are being tolled as well. Apparently people from all countries need to pay for using Autobahnen, whereas only Germans have to pay for Bundesstraßen (federal highways) as well. They are supposed to be compensated for that toll by lower taxes.

you have less than 2 years to visit germany and ride Schwarzwaldhochstrasse. go there now.
