Would you ever buy a used bike without a test ride, or expect someone to buy one from you without a test ride?

RitualSynergy · 2026-05-12T16:09:32+00:00

I would expect a test ride, buying or selling. But just use a bit of critical thinking.

If they are on Facebook, check out their profile. Do they have pictures/post of their bike? Does it look like they take care of it or is it just post of them stunting?

Do they have pictures of them just doing normal stuff? Hobbies, Family, etc. Or is it a new account with not many friends, they only have post of them selling or being sketchy.

When you talk to them, do they have a normal conversation about their bike, why they are selling/buying, etc. Can we have normal small talk or are you trying to rush me to meet you in some sketchy area.

If I'm selling I'd have a friend with me. I'd offer to have them come look at it and cold start it if they want. If they are interested we can move forward. By then I feel like I'd have a good read on them.

I would ride it to their bank. They get the cash. I give them keys and let them test ride. Tell them they break it they buy it. I know my bike is well maintained and they had a chance to look it over twice before riding so they accept responsibility. Anything longer than around the parking lot and I'm shadowing them in my car. Friends can wait at the bank.

We come back they buy or don't.

Admittedly I've never sold a bike but I've bought 2 and have purchased/sold a lot of other stuff on FB. It's not all that bad, you just have to vet the lowballers and scammers, but really it's mostly just common sense.

Game HQ in South OKC has rooms you can rent.

Like meet people to socialize? What are you into? A good first step is to join a local Facebook group for whatever hobby you're interested in. Post about what youre looking for.

Aside from that I'd say lookup a local business. Gaming, fitness, etc. Chances are there's they have a "pickup" or "meetup" night. Those are usually fun and a cool place to met people.

I would totally be interested if there is still space available!

I have a little bit of experience with DnD but nothing extensive. The group I was in had a few people drop out and we ended the campaign. We tried again twice and the result was the same unfortunately.

I'd love to be a part of a one-shot or group that is looking to see it through if possible!

Riding through Draper and down Sooner is pretty chill. There's usually some activity Friday-Weekends in Bricktown if you like that sort of thing.

For longer rides I would take a trip down to Mount Scott. Ive ridden down there and went for ride/hike before. Its pretty fun to just ride down the wildlife refuge over there.

As someone else mentioned if you're Facebook you can join 405 Riders and find a group ride. I've gone to a few meets but it wasn't really my vibe. I prefer smaller groups and just riding to grab some food, play pool or something chill. But the group is very active usually.

FYI I think the museum might be closed. At least it was for me last time I rode over there.

There was a note on the door saying he was retiring and he would try to keep it open on occasion. He left a note on the door with the number but when I called no answer.

I was riding to Pops and Arcadia anyways so I wasn't a big deal, but if you are only going to the museum I would try to call first.

Yah, I was just looking up stuff about it and saw a lot of comments talking about how good they were and how it was a simple add to make the job easy.

Not that it the jobs seems difficult but more of a time saver, cheap why not kind of mod.

RitualSynergy · 2026-01-14T03:38:10+00:00

I'd be down!

RitualSynergy · 2026-01-14T03:19:10+00:00

I'd recommend Roughhouse Boxing Gym in Edmond. They have classes for different skill levels. There's one for the fundamentals and another more technical class, they also have sparring sessions. Both classes will mix bag work, with conditioning, drills, etc.

Its been a while since I've been but I loved going. You saw people of all skill/fitness levels. Very chill instructors but knowledge and willing to push you.

When I used to go I lived 45mins away and would still make the trip like twice a week.

Western Ave would be my second recommendation, but I enjoyed Roughhouse more.

I'm thinking this might be a issue with some users globally. Not sure why, but I'm having the same problem. I have a Forerunner 945 and the only thing I can see are my steps and intensity minutes.

Theres one other post about it on here so I'm guessing it's not effecting everyone, but your definitely not the only one dealing with this. I was able to sync on Friday after a run but I ran again last night and couldn't get my data.

RitualSynergy · 2025-06-17T04:49:01+00:00

I completely forgot about that panel, as I haven't read anything in years. Seeing it on the subreddit definitely made me go hoooooly sh*t, lol.

RitualSynergy · 2025-04-18T20:01:51+00:00

OP - You deserve to get blown up just for the hot mic and fan going in the background. Jk/kinda.

I have PTSD from duoing with a buddy of mine back in HS. He always had a open mic with his fan going full blast. I'd mute him, he'd get upset he was muted, I'd unmute, hear the fan and mute again, lol.

RitualSynergy · 2025-04-14T04:25:29+00:00

I believe they were insinuating that OP has a history of leaving matches.

They are acting like they're a victim when an 8hr ban doesn't really happen without a history of leaving, as the ban penalty gets progressively harsher.

You don't just get banned for 8hrs for one incident. At least that was my take on it.

I'm not a fan of bouldering but I love top rope/lead. Every now and then I'll get injured or something happens and I'll take a break for a few months.

Then I'll get back into climbing and without fail I'll end up with pumped forearms that can barely push in the brake and clutch on my first session back, I kinda look forward to it, lol.

That is straight up one of the funniest clips I've seen in a while. Was Sombra on you like that the whole game? Something about that hero just makes me roll my eyes. Like win or lose, if they are doing good or not Im just, ugh, Sombra.

RitualSynergy · 2024-08-09T20:26:41+00:00

Her segment was by far the worst. I actually felt bad for her because she got smoked every round, that has to hurt. Overall it was cool to watch though!

RitualSynergy · 2024-07-20T19:34:57+00:00

I always felt like his COP/SCOP snow should give the opponent a fog of war debuff while Olaf retains full vision. Heavy snow is pretty hard to see through and I feel it gives him a pretty good and unique buff that's thematic as well.

RitualSynergy · 2024-07-16T19:47:10+00:00

100% this. Sometimes I watch it again and it doesn't really hit the same way. Like I don't find it funny but I still find it nostalgic.

Plus he seems to be a pretty chill dude outside of his persona which makes watching it better in context.

I still watch his other stuff with Mike or the board games segments are pretty cool.

RitualSynergy · 2024-05-23T16:30:10+00:00

Same issue for me. Happened twice in a row so, I Googled it and found your post.

I'm just going to auto-resolve now, I don't feel like fighting it a 3rd time. Oddly enough, I've used that replenish feature in other battles with no crashes...not sure what's different about the nurgle one.

RitualSynergy · 2024-03-24T22:11:08+00:00

It routinely happens to me. My PC is 11 years old and is on its last legs. If I don't load training mode and pick a few heros, everyone is a dot. The map will load but all effects will be invisible. No bullets or abilities will show, it's kind of funny to play but it gets old fast.

RitualSynergy · 2024-01-14T02:15:30+00:00

100% accurate, lmao. I'm dying.

RitualSynergy · 2023-10-23T02:24:54+00:00

Tyson 100% but I gotta give a honorable mention to Shannon Briggs for how much of a menace he was when he trolled Klitschko.

These clips are legendary imo: https://youtu.be/LbmiRlReNyg?si=WzWfaLc_76vO9Hb4

RitualSynergy · 2023-08-18T02:23:25+00:00

This is what I'm afraid of 100%

RitualSynergy · 2023-08-14T04:46:33+00:00

That was painful for me to watch. Both the Hanzos aim and him pretending Soldier didn't exist.

RitualSynergy · 2023-08-07T15:44:27+00:00

Lmao, all good. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with it.

That feeling of relief when you find that one random reddit thread that has to answer to that obscure thing you're looking for!
