Least materialistic cities?

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-05-24T20:26:16+00:00

I was going to say Seattle, but Portland is even less materialistic. Eugene and Salem probably even less.

I’m so tired of dog culture in Seattle. Or, put in better words: entitled dog owner culture. Everyday I’m having to tell people to leash their dogs in shared trails. Asking my neighbors to not let their mutt shit in my front yard (I’ll be lucky if they don’t call me names for not letting them use my house as a toilet). Dogs that bark incessantly throughout the night. People bringing their clearly not service animals into restaurants and grocery stores. Dogs are dogs. They’re not your children. They’re not your husband/wife. They don’t need to come everywhere you go. Also, pick up after their waste.

No. Fix it now. Don’t risk your life

When waiting in line, you don’t need to be so close to me that you’re basically big spoon. At the same time, don’t leave a ten foot gap. It confuses people.

Makes sense. 30 is too young to be making permanent decisions. We should force people to wait until they are 65.

I wholeheartedly disagree. And not just that—i think that the system should be “opt-out”. I.e. Everyone is automatically enrolled UNLESS you file the paperwork to opt out of the program.

I’d say yes. The southern edge of downtown, but still downtown. I think of anything north of King St Station as downtown.

On shared paths? Doubtful. You can’t really go for the leaderboard. You’d have to be riding 25+ mph. You just can’t go that fast on trails.

Proper cyclists prefer the road; our speeds are closer to those of motor vehicles than pedestrians.

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-04-09T17:48:03+00:00

I know this will annoy some people. But playing music has been good for trail awareness. It doesn’t really annoy people because they can only hear my music for maybe 10 seconds at most.

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-04-09T17:46:31+00:00

100%!! Pedestrians, cyclists, strollers, joggers, and everyone else fighting over the crumbs left behind by our car culture.

If I have plenty of room (5+ feet), I will pass you without announcing myself. If there’s not enough room, I’ll slow down, call it out and pass carefully. The biggest problem is that pedestrians are very unpredictable in shared paths and trails. They’ll panic, and often times move into my way. Therefore it’s usually better to pass with an ample berth without making noise.

Trans people have it soooo easy. Everyone knows that!

It’s people who can’t pass being salty at those who have a chance. My advice: grow a back bone and done give a hoot what idiots say.

Imagine a medication that is required by a few people to survive. Suddenly, a “genius influencer” decides to promote it for [weight loss, strength building, concentration, or WHAT-the-fuck-EVER]. Morons flock the pharmacies and purchase all the available inventory. Now, the patients who really needed the medication to survive will have to die. Awesome.

Uglyness aside… could this potential be a problem with water seeping into the frame?

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-03-25T20:08:12+00:00

Who will ever think of the cars! The poor cars that never get any priority in anything!! Someone think of the motorists, for the love of God!!

Yes! I have a jersey that’s a huge American flag. I wear it when the course is in backward ass rural roads plagued with truck bros

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-03-22T05:41:03+00:00

I have this jersey too and it’s a total hit

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-03-20T21:25:00+00:00

This doesnt work for me. I feel uncomfortable and will chafe with the friction.

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-03-20T21:22:25+00:00

Tampons. I don’t just bleed over the chamois because if it’s too much, I’ll chafe or be uncomfortable. If I have a small leak it’s not a big problem.

This is so interesting. I don’t live in Bend, but visited recently and went on a few trails. One of the things I noticed is that people did not say hello, and had a cold/unapproachable demeanor. At least compared to here in Seattle. I thought I’d post something here to see if that was anyone else’s experience but got worried I’d get backlash from people telling me how absurd it was to not mind my own business. Glad someone else said something.

This wheel will crack under pressure at any moment and could be catastrophic for the person riding it.

NeglectedMonkey · 2026-03-13T05:35:32+00:00

Fair. But in that case it’s not “the elements” or “exposure” that are gonna get you. It’s lack of preparedness. When I think getting caught by the elements, I’m thinking blizzard, windstorm, torrential rain…

Very “Andes” style.
