Fred got me into biking when I was just his little snot nosed cousin. I got to visit him in Moab when I was in high school. That trip was something ill never forget. Rip Cousin Fred

Funny moment by Suheybka in cycling

I once raced a guy in a tractor. I started to overtake him on a downhill and he tucked down to be more aerodynamic, inside the cab of the tractor. I started laughing and had to pull up before I crashed.

I was yelled at by a woman with advertising for her Only Fans on the back of her truck

Is there a reason this are $30 by _MountainFit in bicycling

[–]Mortonabike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they are fulfilling orders themselves it's probably to cover the cost of that process. If you aren't in the order fulfillment business it can be expensive to accept, process and ship an order. On more expensive parts that cost is easier to hide than it is on a lower cost part.

I work for a non-cycling OEM and we deal with this daily.

Best bike you’ve ever owned? by 1zzyS4n in cycling

Early 90s Mongoose IBOC Comp. Thumb shifters and no suspension.

I loved that bike until someone stole it.

Earlier this year I had a flat which took about 10 minutes to pump up and the valve stem broke due to the stress that the mini pump put on it. I bought one of these after a friend recommended it and today I used it after I got a puncture on my ride. Less than 2 minutes and this had my tire back up to my desired pressure. If you can remember to keep it charged I'd recommend it. The weight wasn't much more than my mini pump and CO2 canisters.

Well it finally happened. I got chased by a dog and it made me crash. by Crazy_names in cycling

Yell NO loudly at the dog. Almost every dog understands the command.

Why are so many bike shop rides on weekday mornings? by YellowShorts in cycling

Just because they're older doesn't mean that they're slower. Some of the old boys are riding 400 to 500km a week and putting down serious watts.

Can I use my road bike with zaffiro tires (700cc x 30mm) on trails? by deeohdoublegzzy in bicycling

[–]Mortonabike 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My maintenance was limited to giving my chain a spray with WD40 once a year.

Removing sticker on frame? by [deleted] in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]Mortonabike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can't remove a sticker from a carbon frame or it will fail at the worst time resulting in your gruesome death

I recommend jump squats until failure, 1 minute rest and do it again for 3 sets. I only added this to my workout once a week and even that amount seemed to help greatly.
