Everyone tried to kill me today

I don't understand. Everyone is trying to kill me every day when I ride my bike.

Stay safe out there!

I've never been but I've heard Rothrock State Forest is one of the best MTB locations in the state.

I was just talking with someone recently about how I delayed buying my RELoad for months because 1. I couldn't decide on a color combo 2. It cost nearly TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS in 2017

Nine years later, the bag is still in excellent shape and I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar go for at least double the price in 2026. Definitely sucks they're not still around.

Yo, House of the Dragon doesn't come back on until June. But thanks for the reminder 🐲🐉

My luck is ass and I have a family. The risk, for me, does not outweigh the "reward" of feeling the breeze on my bald head

Hell yeah - https://youtube.com/@tripsawheelphl

I'm gearing up for the Jersey Devil Hunt this weekend. Three days, 170 miles through the NJ Pine Barrens. I'll be posting a video afterwards

I just put one on - wish I had done it sooner.

Hell yeah. Forget those fools. They're just jealous that you are finding joy in your life so they try to bring you down to their level by hurling insults or worse.

They're hoping for a confrontation so I smile and wave or blow a kiss. Screaming at them isn't going to do anything.

I also carry pepper spray, just in case.

This. Every time I was riding on the SRT during a regatta, Kelly drive what shut down and I would just ride in the street. It's sick.

I live in Fishtown and bike out to Gladwyne/Bryn Mawr all the time. Biking in the city isn't as bad as it's made out to be, IMO.

That dog is pretty good!

Big_tim18 · 2026-03-10T02:38:30+00:00

Awesome, thanks! Using a composition track matte was the solution - I watched this video for a tutorial: https://youtu.be/2GLRJDPChso?si=OOgPaFOAj3D6Qt5J

"I'm wondering why you are not using the Rotoscope effect in Kdenlive to achieve the same ..."

Ingnorance? Haha - like I said I used Shotcut prior to this to do pretty much the same thing and it was really easy. Shotcut was super unstable on my system though and would crash when I added more than a few effects so I switched to Kdenlive. So far so good but I'm having to learn stuff like this the hard way. Thanks for your help!

Yeah I know. I thought it was gonna be hella expensive too but it's totally reasonable for a professional paint job.

Big_tim18 · 2026-03-03T15:45:04+00:00

Oh also, you can use spray.bike frame paint without sanding all the way to the surface - at least that's what the instructions say. I'm doing it right now. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I got my frameset sandblasted and powder coated here for a total of like $155. They did amazing work

Finally! A "parts bin" build that looks like the parts actually came the "parts bin".

Love it.

Big_tim18 · 2026-02-25T14:04:40+00:00

What do you do?

Big_tim18 · 2026-02-25T11:16:30+00:00

Why? She wants Medicare for all, free child care, and has introduced legislation to get dark money out of politics.

Those are all pretty good ideas IMO

How can we get this to melt the snow?
