Top secret survey

>>1021486
You did ok. How often do you plan to use it? It may be worthwhile to get another one, just for parts.

>>1021486
Don't worry. Motorcycles are definitely /n/.

>>1021486
It belongs here. /n/ is for transportation and mopeds are transportation

If anything bikes belong on /fit/ or /sp/ because it is excercise and/or a sport

Possibly even /diy/ but we tolerate bikefags here

I have done this a few times and enjoyed it. It was good seeing all the station architectures and different areas.

On a foreign environment, yes. I wouldn't do it in my city where I've done it a million times. Although i would ride the bus since I really only ride the same 4 routes out 50 or so.

By building up instead of out.

Now, if only people designed new skyscrapers with a little more artistic flare...

If sending your child to inner city schools wasn't the equivalent of a blood sacrifice on the altar of diversity, cities would blossom

Privatized schooling revolution would bring tons of families into cities, increase home values, and encourage more urban development. As of now there are vast urban areas in American cities that are no-go zones for people above the poverty line. They would be amazing places to live and bike if things were different

If you are remotely coordinated/competent then it is trivially easy (and if you're 21 and male these things are pretty much a given) just borrow a bike and roll around around a patch of grass, you will pick it up in literally minutes.

"learning to ride a bike" is something 3 year olds, women and cripples do. Just get on a bike and ride.

The more scared you are the worse it will be. Just ride somewhere where any falls won't matter and just get to it. You'll probably be riding by the end of the day

It'd be more embarrassing if you didn't try.

Awesome blog post, Eric Trump.

Oh, by the way, OP? It's not racing unless both parties know they're racing. Otherwise you're just some tryhard tool making a complete fool and pest of himself in public.

LOL, fag.

When I ride an airplane at night, I often love looking at the absolute darkness, or the clouds, or the stars.

When I ride after 6pm through the Turkish and Arab boroughs of Berlin. Not good. After I got harassed several times (often they sit in their cars), I started to come up with alternative routes that take longer but are safer.

My parents live a little way off the main street next to an area with a forest and a riverside park where there is a market once a month. The area is completely unlit so it can turn pitch black at night. There's only a small streetlight in front of the house.
I have no trouble riding my bike through that area, as long as the light is working. But I usually walk the long way around on foot, and even then the last 50 meters usually give me the heebie jeebies.

I'll just add that since I live in the UK, this would have been classified as a hate crime.

The motorist was of middle eastern origin.

I personally like smaller private jet-type state VVIP aircraft compared to those big-ass converted passenger aircraft, tho each countries has its own reason (or the lack of one) to use bigger aircraft

Touch up clear coat paint?

energy gel- drink it

It's for saddle sores mate, mighty kind of them to include that.

>Would a single speed be the best for me? If so, why? Would this benefit transportation and/or exercise?

For most riders it is personal preference. You don't need gears for small/medium hills. For a road bike, you probably won't be off roading that much, so you won't need gears. Generally I stick to the 3rd ring for flat/mild hills, 2nd ring for moderate hills, and 1st ring for very steep or off-road hills. I can do basic off roading on a single speed cruiser bike anyway. Mountain bikes are surprisingly useful on commutes though. I find lots of off-road shortcuts. Are you trying to get a really good workout? You will pedal faster on a 1 speed bike. I'm not sure if that gives you more cardio or not.

>>1021354
Not looming for a crazy intense workout as of now. The exercise i would plan to get with it would be like a 4-5 hour ride.

Ive been doing some research and found this:

What are your thoughts?

>>1021363
If you're just getting started in road cycling, I would personally recommend getting a bike with multiple gears. There's no reason you couldn't be very happy with a singlespeed for longer rides, if you lived somewhere flat, or as if the other anon said, that was your personal preference - but if you've never ridden a road bike before, having variable gears will really help you as you start building fitness and getting used to a new kind of riding.

With a $4-500 budget, I'd be looking at used road bikes (preferably ones refurbished by a local bike shop), and I wouldn't bother with anything from BD (they're only good deals if you already have the tools and knowledge to assemble and fit the bike properly).

They don't though. That's post editing. In real life it looks the same except with no trail, defeating the point.

>>1021007
This is fucking retarded. Am I suppose to believe these stupid motherfuckers recreated the reality of physics to leave literal "light" "trails" from led lights attched to a bike?
