No but I can fly a train.

And I can sail a truck.

Watch me walk a duck

Anyone gonna do the mn state championship TT race?

Minneapolis is such a sexy city. Why does it have to be surrounded by a bunch of liberals ;~;

>Implying it's not a beautiful city because of the liberals
Funding parks, transit, arts, etc aren't strong suits of the conservatives.

I don't think enjoy is the right word, but it was better than driving. Took it from Oakland to Sacramento in 1hr 45min. Took me close to 4 hours driving last time because of traffic. It was reasonably comfortable, had free WiFi and had a full bar.

It's really easy senpai.
Just google, and I find these channels/websites to be especially useful:

Lots of to the point info:
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/

GMBN is, I think, more reliable than GCN on the tech/maintenance side of things:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_A--fhX5gea0i4UtpD99Gg

Seth's Bike Hacks is an amazing channel, right to the point, lots of useful information put in an easy no bullshit way:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu8YylsPiu9XfaQC74Hr_Gw

And remember that bikes are easy. The only harder parts to understand are the wheels, but it's not rocket science. You should be able to keep any bike fully working with just some allen keys, screwdrivers, degreasers, the occasional greasing, and a dry teflon lube for your chain.

Thanks a bunch, I did google, but the results I got told me different things so I wasn't sure what was actually meaningful, so I thought I'd actually ask.

If you want to record your ride, on top of or in the front of the crown of the helmet is great.
If you want to also record whatever your hands and stuff are doing (which isn't always as appealing to others as it is for yourself), use a chest-mount harness.

You can have a walkable city without cramming tens of thousands of people into a square mile.

no, just ban all cars from cities and have decent public transport

a burrito

That's a rear derailleur pulley. It also appears half of your rear derailleur is missing. Get a new one.
And please, next time use the bike questions general.

>dat valve stem angle

Yep, missing bushing and end caps in addition to the bolt. You'll definitely need a replacement derailleur if the other half of the cage is gone. Might be able to get one used from a shop, local FB group or bike coop.

Before you fix, check that you have an actual bike and not some walmart piece of crap.

Is that your own opinion, or are you looking for someone to convince you that they're good?

As someone that owns one I think they can be rather good, very fun and they can make it possible to ride stuff that would otherwise be very difficult if possible at all. I wouldn't say they completely replace unassisted bikes, the weight can be a hindrance especially when the battery runs out or they're just low powered. The prices on most pre-builts are also prohibitively high and for the same price you can get a bike that weighs nearly half as much.

OP's dad fucking OP's mom was a horrible idea. Prove me wrong.
Protip: You can't.

I'm all for e-bikes if they encourage more people to commute and ride around towns, and e-MTBs are fine on trails that are already open to dirtbike motorcycles or ATVs, but e-MTBs on actual MTB trails are a terrible idea. I don't care whether it's gasoline powered or battery powered: motorized vehicles don't belong on mountain bike trails.

Pretty sure that's been around for a while.

And it's not a real Fuck UCI bike.

Anyone who knows about the history of bicycle racing knows UCI equipment regulations were originally intended to ban a bike they really felt had an unfair advantage.

The recumbent.

>>951387
Oh, you're the recumbent poster. Fuck off.

Well, recumbents really have an advantage when it comes to attracting homosexual riders, I'll give you that.
