I agree in general, but with two caveats.

1) It better not smell like piss.

2) I better not feel like I'm about to get stabbed.

Do what she says...

>accidentally knock her wallet off her desk while helping her mom clean her room
>it folds open and tucked behind it is a ragged piece of paper
>unfold it and see that it was the card I drew for her years ago
>her mom sees it too and says I was all she talked about by the hospital bed
>I wasn't supposed to find out
>she kept the note in her wallet so I would always be with her
>keep crying for several days after that and get depressed because of how I treated her.

I'm so fucking sorry Chelsea... I'll never forget you. I can never move on.

>>1049995
Thanks for sharing anon, I'll tell you something, people tell you to "Move on" when something bad happens to you, Chelsea wouldn't want you to move on, remember her and treasure the fact that you were a part of her life.

Best wishes anon

>a completely upright posture with the handlebars close to my body would be the most optimal way to ride my bike
No, it wouldn't.

>>1069250

Well technically due to air resistance it wouldn't, but as far as comfort and generally most riding I do, it's fine.

replace your stem for one that allows you to get the position you desire in the flats of your current bars and add a pair of interrupter evers so you can brake from the position

Cagers no doubt call you crazy for choosing not to cage, yes?

Well, it's kinda like that, but for meat and dairy.

Stop getting so triggered by other people's dietary choices. You don't *need* meat and dairy, it just makes life easier for those of us who are willing to accept the tradeoffs on environmental, ethical, and public health issues. Don't start with the "but we're healthier with CAFO", antibiotic resistance and colon cancer say otherwise. And yes, I eat meat. Just a polite reminder that you're out of your league here.

Because he's a cool guy and a great cyclist.

Because he is baiting super hard and has the money to do it proper.

I don't know because this happens in America every 2 weeks

I envy you first worlders who experience a profound crisis in the unfathomable event of a derailment

http://www.focus.de/panorama/welt/-masterplan-worked-train-crashed-with-no-survivors_id_7060149.html claims people were on the tracks shortly before and speculates it might be sabotage.

Points can always be picked. Lots of things can happen with switches, amigo.

Yeah, I'd say go for the ebike. A really really good pedals assist bike can be had for $3-4k, and you will just cruise along comfortably doing 25kmh until you reach your destination. Don't pay the petroleum jew, the insurance jew, the registration jew, etc

>>1069182
This. Get a good quality E-bike and avoid paying the petroleum, insurance, registration and repair Jews. I'd just make sure you can easily mount plenty of large panniers and it doesn't have super small weight limit so you can fit stuff into the panniers when needed.

Thanks for the replies. I'm in the us and the Trek super commuter I'm looking at is limited at 45kmh(around 28mph). I'm thinking if I go the e-bike route I can do things like haul my dog/ all kinds of stuff on a trailer with ease, move to a more affordable property out of town, and stop my non cycling friends from trying to make me accept rides. Hmm...

>BAIT BIKE!

who gives a fuck what you call your bike you autistic nigger

It's a Specialized P.2, probably from around 2006.

http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2006&Brand=Specialized&Model=P.2&Type=bike

As it is I'd say $250 at most but don't be surprised when people offer under $200. Might be worth putting a new chain on, cleaning up some of the rust with a brass brush, and then taking it to a bike shop to check over stuff like brakes, bearings, and the fork.

>>1068959

Thanks.

I ended up finding out the following as well, which seems to differ a bit what's mentioned in that link. Mine has:

Rear Derailleur: SRAM X9

Front Derailleur: SRAM x7

And I'm assuming that 250 you mention is USD? I'm in Canada, which technically makes 250 USD = 340 CAD. I supposed I'll make that my asking price or best offer.

And yea, I'm considering bringing it into a local bike shop

wow, they're really going all out with that eyeliner thing

Wow, that's not exactly information that begs sharing anon. We're all frie/n/ds here, but we generally leave the sizing up of our anatomies to our various bike components as a private pleasure.

What the fuck is a dink?

You can brake just fine with no brake pads, metal on metal generates friction just fine, the problem is that metal on metal also generates a lot of heat and wears the braking surfaces out extremely quickly.

>>1069044
Well my rotor hasn't desintegrated yet so I guess I it didn't get worn out that quickly

when was the last time you checked your brake pads?
