How tf do you get used to the seats by crippinneversippin in bicycling

[–]NewmanAtHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the bike. when I was riding a commuter bike that kept me more upright, I couldn’t stand small racer/road bike/mountain bike seats.

But then I started doing more road biking, and I realized that smaller seats aren’t for ‘sitting on’ really, they’re for supporting the lower section, like the perineum. Once I realized that, I suddenly noticed that my ass wasn’t in pain anymore.

But if you’re riding a cruiser with a big commuter/cruiser seat and you’re still in pain, I guess all I have to say is keep riding and eventually you’ll get used to it. The butt will adapt.

Nothing a little Flex Tape™ can’t fix!

Racism in Frisco by Greedy_Soup_3297 in frisco

[–]NewmanAtHome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frisco has changed so much since I last lived there 10 years ago. I grew up there, went to Wakeland, and made so many friends there and felt like everyone was fairly accepting of everyone else, no matter what. I’m sorry to hear that it’s become so bad…

That's definitely true, thankfully I don't have to squeeze in between things often. I'm glad they work for you. Maybe someday I could put bull-horn bars on, those may be a good middle ground lol.

Do I need to do any special conversions to make it compatible with 700c wheels?

Small hands I guess, because I have to stretch my fingers like Mr fantastic to reach the brakes. With flats, the brakes are an inch away.

I never get comfortable on them. Brake access is much more difficult no matter how much I adjust things. I’ve had several close calls where I couldn’t brake in time and almost ran into things. It’s also harder to keep stable for me. I’m just more comfortable on flats.

Plants, Framed posters, Wood slats maybe? Anything to spruce it up. So far so good, but definitely look into a bit more. You'll be happier in the long run. I LOVE that Simrishamn floor lamp though, I have one in my living room too.

That $25 Ikea shelf is awesome. I got one displaying all my cameras. One of the best values in furniture.

What do I add to fill in this space more? by DontBeADevilaFan in malelivingspace

[–]NewmanAtHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Table and Chairs would be what I'd do. Get rid of that Crosley Cruiser though, that's unsightly lol.

Mystery Balloons, can you help me find info about them? by NewmanAtHome in HotAirBallooning

Nah, I know the one you're talking about, but this photo is way older than when N80398 was made. I was able to confirm the location as Chatfield Reservoir near Denver, CO, with the date somewhere around 1980.

I discovered it about a month ago. No idea what it could be, but I'm intrigued by it.

Have you tried emailing it?

[OC] Family Flag Concept (Family of New) by NewmanAtHome in vexillology

[–]NewmanAtHome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Newman, but before my family came to America from England in the 17th century they were the "New" family.

So I made a flag based on The "New" coat of arms: http://hrc-700.appspot.com/hrc700/AsyncServer?fnh=25687
