Thank fuck

People complain about the dangers of electric vehicles due to the lack of engine noise. But most modern cars make very engine noise unless they are accelerating. While listening for vehicles as I approach an intersection its usually just the tire noise I hear.

>implying I don't make the vroom vroom noises

Do you want to do sweet jumps while bombing downhill, or is this more of a "flattish dirt trails" bike? Do you want to ride to the trails, or haul it to the dirt on the back of your car?

>>915138
Mostly flat trails behind our apartments. They go on for some distance.

Is this just a really slow board or does not one want to help me out?

Very cool OP, today you were not a faggot

have you tried google street view

They drive on the right in Europe?

Is driving on the left just a British thing?

As I am currently travelling in Vienna I can tell you that the system is really "bad" and "ass". How comes you cannot get from the airport to the main station directly?

>>905863
the current main station wasn't the mainstation until last year. It used to be the south station before the promotion.
Interestingly though, the west station which used to be the main hub, doesn't connect to the airport either unless you count the airport bus lines.

Wanted to get my hands on some of this manual for speed kit, but while it was in stock, I was flat broke. Oh well.

Twin six does some great work here and there. I'm glad to see them drifting away from their conspicuous styling to more refined designs.

Fuck yes I'll wear flowers. So long as I'm not riding through the ghetto.

I dont bother with kit. I never chafe and don't sweat as much as a lot of folks so I don't feel the need to.

No thank you, I'm terrible at riddles.

Alright everybody, noob post and I probably fucked up in a big way here but I'm ready to learn and fix my mistakes.

Was just out doing some recreational riding, and my pant leg unraveled and caught in my chain. I was going pretty fast and apparently the force was enough to snap a piece on my front derailleur (pic related). This is a SunTour Sport piece from what I believe is a 1975 Fuji Special Tourer. I bought it several months ago at a thrift shop for 20 bucks as my first bike since childhood, and I love riding it as a recreational bike. I'd like to either repair the part (which I suspect will not be possible) or replace it. As a newbie I have the following questions:

1) Do I need to get the same part as the original for the bike to work correctly, or can I sub in a suitable replacement?

2) If I need an original, then how can I certifiably identify the correct part? (or I'd just like to know out of curiosity anyway, I know nothing of bike part identification)

3) If push comes to shove, is a piece like this capable of being repaired? No idea what exactly you'd need to do but I know some people who might have the tools needed to repair metal parts.


I know I messed up but I try to focus on the positive, and I want to use this mistake as a chance to learn a valuable lesson about bike repair (on top of the valuable lesson about wearing the right stuff when you ride). Any help is greatly appreciated.

>>914290
my bad, it actually says Spirt, not Sport. I found more on this page http://www.classicfuji.com/1975_08_Tourer.htm

There appears to be different SunTour Spirts available online but I can't really tell which ones are compatible.

It hasn't even snowed yet in Montreal fuck changed my tires for nothing

>>905836
Same here, NYC

Also I somehow bumped my foot into my front fender at an intersection, coming to a humiliating halt on 12th avenue as the fender folded into itself

Amazingly it didn't break and I just bent it back into place, it's still a little crooked but I was trying to beat the rain (failed on that)

Sweet machine, that Baron. One of my favourite lowracers. Love the rack & fenders.

I'm not a bent rider myself (reasons). But on an upright bike, when my heart rate goes above 150 for extended periods, I tend to dip my head down periodically to help blood flow to my brain.
Do you think the prone rider position of a 'bent gets more blood flow to the brain?

Fuck off weeaboo.

No board tan. I can't think of a single character that encompasses the whole board.

How about /n/-tan always being conspicuously absent as they're too busy being out and about?

Why wouldn't /n/ tan be a cyclist? That's by far the most popular topic here.

My first thought is that /n/-tan would be a younger Yehuda Moon wearing the /n/ jersey.

About three thousand fifty dollars.

>>913823
ayy

So does the $12000 include the enves or not?

Either way You'd probably be lucky to get 4 or 5k for it. From what I've noticed on gumtree it feels like high end bikes go very slowly.

THAT SAID, good fucking luck getting a Canyon. Apparently they've been having a great deal of trouble keeping up with demand for months now.
