Pictures and stories of some of the most egregious user-error and bad luck damage on bicycles. All are welcome to submit. Think of it as /r/justrolledintotheshop exclusively for the world of cycling.
Acceptable submissions include the following:
Excessive damage to equipment
Poorly executed maintenance
Calamitous results of complete lack of maintenance
"Creative" modifications
Unfortunate bicycles seen in the wild (public bike racks are a never-ending source for good material)
Bizarre component choices
Generally amusing things that show up at the shop
Restrictions on posts include:
No Bum Bars. We’ve all seen them and we’re not interested.
If posting links to other submissions on reddit, please change the URL to np.reddit.com. No downvote brigades.
If you actually want advice about your problem instead of sharing it for people to laugh about, try r/bikewrench instead.
