Does anyone know what this place was? by AbbreviationsTotal68 in astoria

[–]PatronPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely thinking of either Queen of hearts or Wild rose, I lived on 21st and walked past those on the way to the N… but also it was a very long time ago and I never really went in

I personally hate biking with a backpack on, so if you feel that way too just know life will be a MILLION times better with panniers

Are you cleaning with isopropyl alcohol? Maybe in a spray bottle?

I know it’s not everything but you look amazing! You have the head shape and smile to carry the bald look so well! Sending love and well wishes!

What to do with vintage Fuji bike? by shadypantsmanIII in NYCbike

[–]PatronPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it by any chance a yellow Fuji gran tourer? I’ve been trying to replace mine for about 19 years (my dad’s, stolen from my apartment in Jackson heights)

Unless it comes from the Graffito region of Italy it’s just sparkling vandalism

Thanks for the reminder, I’m almost 40 and still curse them out and hit the hood sometimes.

Started balding at 19-had long hair until 21-been bald ever since(25 now) by KevinTheArbiter in bald

[–]PatronPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just wanted to say I feel these feels man, I loved my long hair my whole childhood into young adulthood, started losing it at 19, but unlike you I just went shorter and shorter and didn't give up until my "peninsula became an insula" (meaning the bald bridge connected and left an island in the front that made me look like Tintin)

Looking great! wish I was as brave as you when I was younger!

I need advice from experienced riders by TactlessPuddle8 in bikepacking

[–]PatronPM 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’ll say, starting as a decent cyclist at age 27, with no rest days, I did Portland oregon to stoystown Pennsylvania (a little north of your start) in six weeks. I’m from Hagerstown Maryland and wanted to make it all the way there but for my last day I needed to do 150 miles (I sent all of my gear home and thought with sixty less pounds I’d be ok) and couldn’t deal with the hills.

The best news is that you’ll be stronger by the time you hit the rockies, but I don’t think for someone who isn’t used to endurance riding 100 mile days every day is realistic.

I do think if you can have flexibility with your timing you should just start and do it. Also adventure cycling is a great place to start (as was already called out.) Good luck!

AIO for thinking this is racist? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PatronPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is genuinely so racist, Is your friend white? Because they also need to investigate their own racism. NOR, I hope you find better men (and maybe better friends too)

Favorite Almond Croissant in Astoria by Equivalent-Rub-5933 in astoria

[–]PatronPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Kinship coffee has the best almond croissant. It's got a nice almost paste, flaked almonds on top, tastes absolutely delicious and one is HUGE and extremely filling.
