All I can think about is how disastrous that's going to be when a dumb driver inevitably hits it. Cool idea tho.

More like "super dumb idea, hyperloop level"

is the tire flat?

Not really. Just checked and theyre well pumped

Valve?

gee, what a fun topic of conversation for the billionth time

i fuckin hat cars

But really why is it under jap culture?

used them a long time ago for same reason you want them -assumed more positions would be more comfortable

figured out, that I was only using 1 position on them after a while -the comfortable one

switched to simpler bars that achieve that 1 perfect position


Get an On One Mary bar (or one the clones)
Or possible a Mustache bar

and get your stem length sorted out -that's just as big a factor

>>1036428

what's special about the on 1 Mary bar? Googled it and people says it's weird but works

look at how your wrists work

it puts them at the angle that they go to naturally when relaxed

everything happens for a physical reason
but probably not a moral one.
wearing a helmet is a good choice, but is still a choice.

>>1036351

Pretty much. The average pleasure cyclist pleb struggles to go 20kph, if you can't handle a crash at those speeds you should probably wear a helmet when you run, get into the shower or walk on ice. There IS a proper way to fall, your head shouldn't be touching the ground when you fall, even with a helmet. A good set of traps will do more than a helmet at low speeds. Watch some MotoGP races for examples of how to fall properly.

I personally wear one when I'm going hard but not when I go get groceries, Just putting that out there before I trigger somebody.

This thread again?
Don't you realise this board is too slow for trolling?

Whatever speed they feel comfortable with

Are you sure the bike wasn't motorised in some way?

>>1036301
You're looking for an arbitrary standard that doesn't exist because there are too many variables.

Really, though, you sound like your real issue is that your pride is hurt because someone else is (apparently) going faster than you are. If so then that's a rather immature attitude to have and you'd do well to just get over it.

That is not a question concerning equipment at all stupid.

You can merge with a frigging skateboard when you are good enough.

quality bait m8

as a bike curry I did 70km on avg a day or less

I can hit about 40 mph with a 53x11 on the flats with my road bike. I can hold this for a few miles before I burn out. I always end up running out of gearing with a 46t when in route to the trails.. I understand you think you are some eilte rider that 'knows' everything about biking but I think you are just weak as fuck.

>>1034534
To be sure, it's bait, but I instinctively want to improve any process that I witness, even the process of trolling when the quality is low for no reason.

OP, a bike messenger might even ride more than 100 miles in a day (not that you'd know that, not even owning a bike yourself -- post yours WITH TIMESTAMP, by the way; having some demonstrable credibility when trolling is a basic requirement) but the difference between a purely recreational rider out for a 100-mile organized event and a bike messenger, is the recreational rider is riding the entire distance with only a few (or no) breaks at all, and the bike messenger is doing many short rides all day long. The recreational rider will finish his route in 6 to 7 hours, typically, and the bike messenger may spend 8 or more hours doing the same. The many breaks from riding the messenger takes makes all the difference in the world. Also the messenger, with all those breaks, has more opportunity to take in calories of all different types, including heavier foods that the recreational rider would be stupid to eat, riding longer distances.

>I can hit about 40 mph with a 53x11 on the flats with my road bike. I can hold this for a few miles before I burn out.
Not 100% sure if you're the OP or not, but a decent troll knows that the best lies are based on the truth. Not even the hour record holder could hold 40mph for 'a few miles'. Makes it sound like you don't ride a bike at all, because if you did you'd know better than to say something like this. Lacking credibility like this, few if any would fall for bait like this.
>but you posted in the thread so you fell for the bait, LOL!
Doesn't apply. Obvious bait is obvious, and as previously stated this is a 'teachable moment' for a nascent, neophyte troll like yourself. Really, bait of such low quality isn't even entertaining to the rest of us.

people are cunts

>>1033336
It's an issue where both sides see very high societal costs. One where the intuitive choice is horribly wrong. It leads to uninformed people having a very strong "common sense" opinion with lots of ethos and getting very angry at more informed people, believing them them to be evil people who want people dead and injured.
Getting such folk to see reason, against their will, is an exercise in frustration and eventually there is name calling from both sides.

Fuck everyone and do what the fuck you want.

thinking about upgraded from my shitty old mountain bike to this. i want something more similar to a road bike but i like the larger tires of a gravel bike. how do i know if this is a quality product tho? i dont want to spend this much money on something that will break.

>>1032588
It's not top tier, but it won't break after 500km.I have a worse bike and I have done more than 4k km without any problem. If you are fine with the groupset/frame/budget, buy it.

>>1032588
pretty much everything from fugi is well made, that should have no trouble on light singletrack or on gravel

you may also want to look at the jari and the touring as well

The video says "dedicated lanes" though.

Yet I'm pretty sure it will be X times more expensive than similar projects anywhere else in the world.

I live within a block of where this thing is supposed to go and I think it's one of the stupidest things ever. Not only does the city waste tons of money on mostly useless ferries, they'll parallel that with an even more senseless streetcar. For a fraction of the cost they could:

1. Extend the G to at least Queens Plaza
2. Build a Bike/Ped/Bus bridge from Manhattan Ave to Vernon Blvd
3. Put in some kind of circulator bus from Smith 9th St, around Red Hook, to Cobble Hill/Bergen St.

If this were really about improving transit along the corridor, that's what they would do. But this city loves to bend over eagerly for developers.

>100 years ago you could ride streetcars from New York to Boston

price of p-progress r-right?

>check the catalog
>didn't see the train general
Sorry, guys. Won't happen again. Let's just let this thread slide and we'll keep posting in the general.
Apologies.
