There is no sticky, but there is the /bqg/ bike question general, a thread that is always up and you can write any question there.

Buy pedals at the end, because clipless pedals are good, but are pretty overrated because many people think they are faster with them, but no, they are only useful for foot retention at really high cadence.

Blimptrain

Probably the most efficient transport are trains, or blimptrains if there are no tunnels.

Intermodal railcar without engine seems a pretty cool guy.

No, that's a bottom-tier bike. The department store BSO of its time.

As far I know, stem shifters are a low tier bike sign.

suicide levers + stem shifters = shit tier pay no more than $50

skateboard shoes for maxxx comfort and inexpensiveness.

New Balance.

Depends what you mean by hiking though. For some people that means gravel trails. For others it means walking in the woods climbing rocks and shit.

seconded, I want the u-part coated in rubber or something so it doesn't scratch the shit out of my paint.

>>1011734
this, i have no idea why the fuck they don't do that already

that said, a roll of duct tape and a styrofoam pool noodle works bretty gud

>>1011731

I'm going to guess you got one with the pointy key.

You gotta make sure the key is aligned in the center of the hole, not to one side.

Also there was a recall on those locks with a pointy key.

And you think they're going to ride as nicely as a Pasela?

I thought that bike had nigger branded onto it.

>>1011595
It certainly is what first pops to mind
A strong argument against buying it

>>1011591
does that say "nigger"

?

if you must go with the xiaomi bike, as so far everything they have released or been associated with has been pretty good.

>>1011469
that's what I'm thinking. And compared to other folding electrics (btwin) the styling is pretty decent

>>1011472
after looking at a xiaomi site, i didn't know that they are both xiaomi, so it'd come down to if you need a folding bike or not, and it have a bit of peace of mind as at least they say which brand 18650's they are using,

Anyone use a racktop trunk bag?

What's do you think of it?

I'm considering getting one for general use since my Panniers are larger and caus much more drag than they're worth.

I wonder how that FD manages to pull the chain all the way up there

Chain was pinned.

A proper lock wouldn't do that.

Combination locks are garbage anyway, if you have good ears and you're not wearing gloves you can open it up without destroying it

>>1011393
Maybe the idea is that if a bike simply LOOKS to be securely locked, 90% of thieves will leave it alone.
>I'm not saying it's a great idea -- I'm just saying

Theres a video of a bike sting operation where a nice yank using the bars and saddle would break cheap locks with minimal damage to the bike.

Try it, no tools required

I think that's an excellent idea

Make sure you clip it's feet in so it pedals

You should attach the skeleton to the front seat instead

>Is this a common form of transportation for anyone?
For children and hobo manchildren.

It's the stupidest form of transportation. If you want to go to a skatepark or do tricks fine, but otherwise it's retarded.

>skateboarding
>transportation
it sucks for that purpose. it´s okay if you just want to skate down the block and back but is not useful for actual traveling/ commuting because you´d have to be pretty good at it to not crash. also, skate to work? you´ll look like a manchild nobody at your workplace will take you serious

A guy at my old job used to long board to work. He also had a neck beard, bragged about being a functional alcoholic, and didn't have a car because he got into an accident while intoxicated.

He was also always really sweaty when he got to work. It was fucking disgusting.

No judgement if you do it for fun, but for transportation, I don't think it's a good idea.

end your life today

No you can't.

Yes, but only once. Because when you arrive the cool kids will beat the shit out of you for being such a fucking loser, and then even the uncool kids will start whaling on you, sensing in your predicament an opportunity to even temporarily elevate themselves from the lowest rung of the ladder. And so you'll die, under a hail of pasty, underdeveloped fists, surrounded by the gurning faces of nerds and dweebs taking possibly their life's only chance to victimise someone below them in the social pecking order: The Longboard Commuter.
