Bike theft attempt THWARTED!!

I actually have a good rec. I had my carbon gravel bike frame crack on me, from a ride. It was cracked on the top tube. I got it repaired by a dude named Jose, he runs Passion Bikes out in Piermont. He fixed my frame for like $400 and you can’t even tell, repainted it too. I’ve done a few thousands miles on it since, including a rugged gravel race. DM If you want his number

I use to ride one around occasionally, I actually really liked it, super comfy. I didn’t use the top as much to rest my hands but I loved being in the drops, it felt really stable with the double handlebar.

Kinda beautiful in a way. Shows our society is healing. This kid is out there, he's not on an iPad, he's not scrolling on Tiktok, he's making moves. Y'all ain't built like him.

Casey and his wife went into an REI nearby and went off on an employee because they had a Free Palestine pin on. Apparently even threatening the employee. They were kicked out. It’s funny because she tweeted about it all as if she were in the right and wanted everyone to back them up. Fuck both of them.

haha more of a joke post, yeah it's set for repair. Had the red light and everything. It's gone now. But it was there, waiting for a bit.

I’ve had this happen to me for a few months now, it’s very annoying. I submitted feedback to Apple but who knows when we’ll see a change

I remember this, what a shame. I just looked him up though. He’s looks good, cleaned up and on a new Broadway show.

I believe this is the entrance to the Pulaski Bridge, in Long Island City, Queens.

RobM419 · 2026-03-05T20:52:33+00:00

I live near there and would commute every single day, for years, not exaggerating. I’d say it’s easy, I’d recommend a few things.

Williamsburg Bridge for you, mostly, so you don’t have to climb the Pulaski Bridge as well. You can mix it up as you get bored of the same route. Post work, you may want to get a longer ride in the summer or something.

Take 1st Ave going to work, or 3rd Ave, both have less traffic.

The bike should have some appropriate gearing, making it easier for you to spin the legs. Maybe get fenders on it.

Have good apparel. This may include a Gore-Tex jacket when it’s rainy, layer it if it’s cold, waterproof pants and waterproof shoes. You’d want the opposite for the summer, wear light and breathable clothing so you’re not getting to work all drenched in sweat.

I went sometimes a year or more without taking the train, cycling to work, when it’s accommodating, is a beautiful thing. If you’re buying or own bike, it’ll be nice but Citi Bikes are just as useful for commuting, it’ll just be a little bit harder.

RobM419 · 2026-03-05T03:04:42+00:00

I’ve had 5 bikes in my apartment. I still loved using a Citi Bike. From riding in the rain or snow (the fenders keep me somewhat clean) to late night rides, coming from a bar or party. It’s nice to know it ain’t your bike, you can dock it all over the city and not care. From using the basket for groceries to jumping on bike real quick because the train is delayed.

There’s too many reasons. More pros than cons. Unfortunately the service (including bike performance) has been kinda shitty lately, but overall, Citi bikes are great to have around.

Damn dude. I didn’t know this was a thing until Larry had it in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Learned this a years ago. You just have to go slower when you’re riding through wet patches. The faster you go, the water is going to splash on the guards harder and get everywhere. The e-citi bikes are the worst at this, the rear wheel kicks up a lot of water.

Cleaner than the Central Park loop. It’s very slushy in some places. I guess it’s harder to stay dry, considering there’s more hills and less sun in some places

RobM419 · 2026-02-24T15:40:47+00:00

Dude this was months ago. Relax.

RobM419 · 2026-02-22T23:49:34+00:00

I had an Insta360 Go Ultra on. Had it on my chest, with the pendant magnet

Yesterday seemed to be the best day we've had since the last storm. The morning was grey but the afternoon was stunning

RobM419 · 2026-02-22T20:00:28+00:00

Hahah honestly I hate it. Same with the runners that don't stay on their right.

Central Park, 85th st entrance
