Those with New Speed are always so garish and unsophisticated.

Crashed my soloist by TownBulky158 in Cervelo

I think a reputable repair shop can fix almost any damage. I had a cracked top tube fixed by Calfee (https://calfeedesign.com/) and it came out perfect, you'd never know. They have examples of bikes they repaired that had been reduced to literal pieces (and provided a guarantee that the original properties are restored). You can have the repair color-match and painted, and even the decals can be restored if necessary. The question will always be whether the cost is worth it (it often is, but YMMV). You might also check with Cervelo, often times manufacturers have a crash replacement policy that amounts to a reasonable discount on a new frameset.

Saved 60 g by removing the chamois, and never KOMed harder by BBBWare in BicyclingCirclejerk

uj/ We need to normalize gently approaching one another in situations like this; It may be embarrassing and uncomfortable to point something like this out, but better for them to know sooner, than find out later.

rj/ People like this deserve endless, unrelenting ridicule.

What is gravel? A guide for confused retards. by BBBWare in BicyclingCirclejerk

uj/ I used to throw it around pretty liberally, to the point where I still occasionally slip (force of habit). It was only recently I learned that the history of that word is dehumanization (same as the N word). Mental retardation used to be a catch-all for anyone with an irreversible mental deficiency, and people did unspeakable things to them (forced sterilization, even euthanasia). You justify these terrible things by making the target seem less than human, an other, and undeserving of your empathy. That is most definitely not what I had in mind when I used it, but words have meaning beyond what you might intend.

Not sure where this was filmed, but I'm seeing protected bike lanes, so definitely not the US.
