That particular bike is stupid, but I think in general electric bikes are great for getting more people into riding their bikes for commuting. I love seeing the shit people put on bikes, too, like that one anon on here that modded the shit out of his bike to look like some kind of Batman bike.

Gas scooters with vestigial pedals for legal reasons are nothing new. It's a crap idea, but the legislators are to blame rather than the engineers. Now that batteries are better electric versions make more sense.
If you have one of these you are bad and should feel bad, and just get a real motorcycle already.

Fun fact: In many jurisdictions removing the pedals is illegal as you would be required to register and plate the thing. Even though that type of e-bike isn't intended to be pedaled, most of them being single speed.

As long as I'm wearing breathable underwear I've always found jeans fine for commuting. I know some people use mtb baggies, that's all I've got.

I just wear sweats (not cotton) over my bike shorts in winter (so-cal). I carry a change of clothes and have a shower at work, so I don't mind the few minutes that my coworkers see me in my commuting gear.

Your saddle will wear holes in jeans if you use them regularly. Just wear lycra with some kind of shorts over them if you're self conscious.

I try to ride standing on the toptube when i check out secondhand bikes. If i have to jump clear/ bail then the bike doesn't track straight and it has been crashed before.

>tfw owner gets mad at me for scratching his bike that has already been crashed and is trash

ill biff it in the lagoon for u mate if u want

That's a nigger thing.

And yes i did many times, however i was like the last guy in OP's pic. I've enjoyed the ride and the (many times false) sensation of being safe. They kept doing tricks and shit around the town and with people, i just enjoyed at my own pace.

Last time, we gone to a waterfall with bmx bikes and almost died at the trails. It was the best day of them, and the last one as few of the bro's got jobs, two are living in another city and the trail broke one bike. The guy never fixed it and abandoned us.

It was 4 years ago,and i miss these days. Our name, translated to english, was something like "The homeless dildo's" due to a shitty joke we made.

As a young lad we used to ride side by side taking up the whole road in our quiet suburban streets. We'd call ourselves "The Road Hogs" because we hogged the road.

Pic not us but kind of related.

Who cares, people do stupid things all the time. People are riding bikes and that's good enough for me, even if they have to walk them up hills.

>>889866
What's wrong with walking up hills?

>>889867
It means you chose the wrong tool for the task at hand.

Or perhaps need to HTFU. I don't know.

That's what you get when you let the french run your trains

statistically travelling by train is about 100 times safer then travelling by car

>>922247
I'll bet your stats don't include violence crimes on trains.

Also some of you may recognize the last rider interviewed.

Yes, and?

Even if you got the shortest possible crank arms you'd still clear like 1cm, which wouldn't help a lot.

How about 300$

I was trying to stay under $200, and I don't like the gear shifters on those.

This is just gonna be a fun project, not my main bike.

Just buy a vintage steel frame road bike off craigslist.

For that price you could maybe get a set of decent wheels, without tires.

That's cool.

In London (England), they recently implemented timetables that uses e-ink.

In my city, they hang up (paper) timetables at busier stops. If not, you call a number and enter in your bus stop number and it will give you the next arrivals.

Though, they want to install LED timetables inside bus shelters in the future.

Why is it so low tech?

Did they put it in the request for proposals that it has to last 30 years without maintenance _AND_ be abbo-proof?

>>917194
useless if they are out of whack. In victoria, BC, they have paper printed ones and they are always on time, within 30 secs. In my city, calgary, even real time GPS information is off sometimes by 5 minutes.

-brakes rubbing
-wheel not centered in frame

i circled on your pic where it looks like the wheel is rubbing against the frame?

does it take a lot of effort to spin the whole way around or is it only in certain parts?

No rubbing on either side

lmao, it's not true. Don't be such a fucking pansy m8y


Regular exercise boosts testosterone levels, being in the sun increases vitamin D levels which in turn boost testosterone levels. You'll only get ED if you have a piss poor bike setup


So maybe next time, stop being a little bitch???

Both are false. Take your /o/ propaganda somewhere else.

Mate I'm a cyclist, it's a genuine question

I know that over-training reduces testosterone, that's a given. Does that mean if I just don't over-train then I'll be fine?

Honestly, from experience, I reckon cycling boosts my testosterone levels if I don't completely exhaust myself (e.g. shorter, faster rides). After doing that sort of cycling I feel better, stronger, more aggressive, etc., so I reckon that sort of riding is good for testosterone.

So I'm hoping it's only over-training that is bad for testosterone?

Invest more in pedals and less in shoes

>>914133
why?
unfortunately, these are the only shoes that I have found that fit.

great starting point.
go for it.

you'll eventually upgrade to better shoes and pedals.
