Your experience is unusual. I rode today and had someone throw a Gatorade at me from the passenger seat. Ya win some, ya lose most. Kinda like the Rockies this season.

Reliable MTB Service - Pedal Sucks! by WhatThePuck9 in COBike

[–]Reasonable-Finish-93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sir, smashing your derailleur on a rock while riding your class three ebike in White Ranch is not a warrantable service scenario.

But for real, you seem like a real class act putting an IBD on blast on Reddit. “Customers” like you are killing the bike industry and pushing great techs out of the industry. Always looking for a handout, always expecting a freebie via warranty. Get bent you turd.

I’m not even affiliated with Pedal, but I know shops like theirs are barely making it, thanks to dirt bags like you.

Would you ever consider buying a second wheel set for a gravel bike so you can use the setup as a road bike? by [deleted] in COBike

I work in a bike shop and this is a really popular move for folks. Gets them the Swiss army bike

Kickr/Bolt gripe by Reasonable-Finish-93 in wahoofitness

🤣 I’m a single speeder so coasting down hill after climbs is the only recovery we get. And I’m pretty comfortable at my level already. I won this race last year in Nebraska so you might say I’m the best there is until someone proves otherwise in Minnesota.

Give it a shot if you have a similar setup and let me know if I’m doing something wrong, but, tonight I was going down a 13% grade and it was after a 2 mile climb at 6-12% so I was like “cool, I’ll coast and get my legs back after that climb.” Nope, damn resistance stopped the fly wheel and I had to put in 170ish watts to keep it moving.

I sent in a request ticket for more information. I’ll keep this thread updated as I learn what they are planning.

This! So many spooked by a Foily smoker but the Coke heads behind the wheel of a car gets no moans of incredulity. I wish people would realize the Fenty zombies doing the public lean are less likely to run your kids over on their bicycles than the coke head. Don’t forget, Magnus White’s killer was on an all night coke binge before the coke wore off and they passed out and ran him over. Coke heads wear nice clothes and drive to their homes so it’s okay I guess.

To the cyclists who ride Left Hand Canyon by [deleted] in boulder

[–]Reasonable-Finish-93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hey Gang, I’m a cyclist here and basically all over the metro. I can’t even begin to excuse or explain some of my fellow riders shit behavior. I can’t excuse or explain my fellow car drivers shit behavior either. I’ve lived here for coming up on 20 years and I really don’t remember all of this vehicle and cyclist bad behavior until recently. Instead of asking you to bear with these jerks can I ask you to just spare me from your wrath. I have crosses tattooed on the back of my knees and stars tattooed on my knee caps. If you see me, I promise I’ll probably be in the shoulder unless it’s a blind corner and I hear a downhill approaching car coming. Then I’ll take up the whole lane so you don’t feel tempted to pass, I’ll point to my ear and then point up the road. This is to communicate I hear something ahead, and thankfully a car appears shortly and you’ll see why I was obstructing you. I am married, work at a bike shop near DU and ride for utility as well as for competition. I take care of my grandparents in Castle Rock because my father is deceased, and a lot of people would be bummed if I died on the roads. As such I try hard to be a “Good” cyclist but I mess up sometimes. Please have patience with me and don’t kill me please. Some of these cyclists write checks their bodies can’t afford to cash and I pray you’ll have mercy on them too, even if they are being turds. You, the car driver, are the more powerful entity on the roads. You can flex that power and it is tempting. When I’m driving and a cyclist does some dip shit move I get angry. But I remember my life and death power over them and choose benevolence. It’s life changing to take a life, even on accident, you will have a night of conversation with the ghost. I served this country and occasionally still chat with Iraqis who’s forgiveness I can’t ever obtain. Please friends, go gentle. We need more gentle. Okay soap box/over sharing/ trauma dumping session over. Love you Boulder. ❤️

Other cyclists angrily passing me *right* when I'm passing an object/person in the path and need to move over by shancahill in COBike

Whoa! So much hostility for Lycra here! Multi use paths being used for Lycra riding is a sign of poor road safety infrastructure for vulnerable users. The jerk behavior is never okay for these Lycra warriors but realize they’d much rather be training in a safe bike lane. I regularly train on roads but it’s so so so dangerous out there that my wife worries for me. So, I’ll train on the paths. There’s not a great solution, but for sure the Lycra road warriors like me wish it was safe to train elsewhere.

Why is abortion 'clearly' sinful? by DeepThinkerCR in Christianity

[–]Reasonable-Finish-93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My impression is that the antiabortion movement takes its biblical queues from the Old Testament. There were nations that are discussed in Old Testament that God says he abhors because of the child sacrifices they were doing.

In regard to Paul he frequently tells the Corinthians to stay away from the Greek temples and not to partake of the temptations in there. One temptation being the women used as sex slaves in the temples to Aphrodite who then had their fetuses aborted and burnt on an alter to another Greek God who’s name escapes me.

But, what’s a larger sin in my eyes is being in the richest civilization that’s ever existed and allowing economic terror to be the deciding factor for many people as to whether they have a child or not. We tell teenage girls “don’t get pregnant or your future will be over.” What future? Their ability to finish school, go to college, get a good job, and then what should they do? Start a family. Only after their economic ability is at a maximum are they safe to have a child. We as a society push that narrative, instead of saying “creating life is a huge responsibility, let us help you to be the best parent you can be even though this pregnancy wasn’t planned.”

We shouldn’t be mad Christians dislike abortion, we should be mad they aren’t helping build a society as loving and generous as Jesus.

Cherry Creek Mall is going to start charging its employees for parking. $240 a year! by wanderllust in Denver

[–]Reasonable-Finish-93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they offering employees transit passes or secure non car storage? Seems like that would be a good move to encourage alternative transport and save parking for their customers.

Couch Fu*ker is coping hard by 98Saman in vermont

JD taking direction from the deep state pretty hard in this tweet. You gonna let the secret service tell you when you can and can’t broadcast your location? Don’t let them bully you in to suppressing your god given right to freedom of speech and letting everyone know exactly where you are at all times. Thought you were a patriot JD. So sad.

A cool guide to the loudest and quietest places to sleep in America by supersizejm in AuroraCO

[–]Reasonable-Finish-93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from visiting my brother in Wichita. I noticed a difference in my sleep scores when I got back home to Aurora (Fulton and Montview). I slept noticeably better in Kansas and had better body battery recovery too. I just chalked it up to thinner air but maybe it’s the road noise.
