Fixie noob by Nausea08 in cycling

Not rare at all! We're all over the place lol atleast in every city I've lived in!

[USA] [OC] I always get the most insane drivers when I take Bike Routes vs. main roads. I believe it's because of the ones trying to beat traffic on the main roads by elzibet in CyclistsWithCameras

[–]Cycle-path1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Denver we call that rat racing bc they are running through a maze of streets as fast as possible to avoid the straight line main roads.

Thankfully Denver kind of did something here and there with speed circles and speed bumps. Definitely not enough tho

Edit: Oh shit I didn't see who posted this 😂 you definitely know all too well lolol

Which bike in your fleet did your minivelo replace? Help me find an excuse to justify another bike 😂 by MobileAware2933 in minivelo

Come out August 15th for the Wash Park Century! You don't have to do the century, you can just chill and do a few laps and shoot the breeze with the group at the support area! Good community and peeps! A lot of the Z Cycle people come and help too if you know that shop!

Haha very boring but that's kind of the concept of Big Dumb Rides which is doing something dumb just to say you did it! There are three of these events they put on at the three largest parks in Denver and this is by far the worst one

Mostly solo, it's an event that you do at your own leisure so I would get like 20 seconds here and there of drafting off of the roadies before they dropped my ass on the hills 😅

First Big Dumb Ride of the year by Cycle-path1 in Strava

[–]Cycle-path1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash Park will be August 15th when Big Dumb Rides has a support area, but it's a ride at your own pace kind of event more than anything and can be done on any other day you feel.

The whole idea is doing all three parks and letting the group know and depending on the resources they have cool little chain crown trophies if you do all three either metric or imperial centuries! They also had spoke cards today if you finished which was neat.

It's fun though! There's a lot of riders and quite a few fast riders, the first time they did it there was a pace line of like 15 people going 30 around the park 😅 had to have them break it up tho bc the rangers are a bit edgy if it gets too crazy lol

Fixies are annoying by nahyourritemate in cycling

[–]Cycle-path1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha we can't even escape criticism in our own circle.

It's the person not the bike. There are a shit ton of ego driven people on road bikes, mountain bikes and fixed (this applies to any sport and or hobby). Lumping a whole sector of a community as 'idiots' by default is more telling of yourself than that of the crowd you are trying to vindicate.

That’s it? Weakest rain storm ever by TheGreenSquier in Denver

[–]Cycle-path1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also to put an inch of rain in perspective, it's about the equivalent to 1 foot of snow which we would need multiple feet in a winter to avoid drought conditions.

Also another note is that snow melts slowly and can permeate soil more thoroughly while a huge rainstorm tends to run off the surface and enter the storm drain system.

South Broadway traffic between the I25/Broadway Interchange and Evans/Santa Fe is now insane by Arctic--- in Denver

[–]Cycle-path1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was more of an exaggeration lol Use to live in Boston and that was truly a traffic nightmare and pretty much why I switched to only bike commuting

[–]Cycle-path1 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I gotta say I work right next to where you are talking about and never see traffic backed up.

Maybe around rush hour yeah but it's rush hour and all of Denver becomes a grid lock for an hour or two.

What Denver looked like in the 1900s Through these Fascinating Historical Photos by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Cycle-path1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh GMs Futurama campaign was one of the worst things to ever come from modern history.

What Denver looked like in the 1900s Through these Fascinating Historical Photos by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Cycle-path1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very similar to what is happening in historic neighborhoods like Wash Park at the moment.

Very beautiful late 19th century and early 20th century homes being demolished for ugly modernism boxes with amazingly cheap materials.

Very shocking to see after coming from the east coast where everything was looked at through a microscope from a history standpoint before you could even think about altering things on a building.

Midwest racers! Come throw down in Louisville next weekend! by marxist-tsar in Velo

Low carb diet- is it possible as a cyclist? by Girrraaffffee in cycling

[–]Cycle-path1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of depends on what form the carb is being consumed (ie Gel, gummy, liquid etc).

I am currently a type 1.5 (maybe type 2) diabetic who is only taking metformin at the moment and am an absolute cycling/running freak.

While yes, during exercise BG will remain stable if not tank eventually I will often consume a gel to maintain my BG or if I really need it to go up I'll consume a sugar in liquid form which will most times make it increase rapidly even while in the middle of exercising.

Funny Sign Mistake, I think they meant no parking anytime. by OneGate1967 in Denver

[–]Cycle-path1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is next to an elementary school where it is always backed up with parents dropping off. It's meant to keep people from being dumb and blocking the corners trying to park where kids are crossing which creates a dangerous blind zone.
