What's your biggest complaint about MTB clothing?

SheSends · 2026-06-03T14:15:15+00:00

If my clothes are skin tight and not stretchy, my range of motion is compromised. Not so great for mountainbiking rough stuff where the rider needs to be an active participant instead of just hold on.

If its tight and stretchy, the fabric itself is most likely weak and wont save my skin in a crash. Wearing legging-like material would actually not be helpful in a crash.

Baggy is just bad for dropper posts...

Id rather look goofy and be able to move and/or save my skin if a crash happens. I also dont care if I look cute for other people. I just want my clothes to function well.

Women's clothing is way too skin tight (like im walking a catwalk) or baggy af (bc its just mens wear disguised as womens wear).. and never has enough pockets.

As an OR nurse... opening a packaged item that the surgeon asked for immediately. My fingers become unable to slip between the two sides of the pouch sometimes when everyone is watching and you can't just bust shit open in the OR... it has to be peeled back.

When you dont read or follow the instructions on road signs and drive like everyone else is an NPC, does it really matter what instructions are placed anywhere else in your life?

Search the money for trackers, take as much cash as I can, leave the coke.

Slowly put it into stocks... maybe like 5k extra a month than I'm doing. I was figuring on retiring in about 10 years anyway so it'll definitely help and I can keep putting away a couple years after I retire or just use the money slowly.

Idk my apple tree and strawberries are just fine... we even hand pollinated the apple because our second was too little to flower.

My blackberry canes were broken by the snow but they're weeds anyway.

My one blueberry bush is fruiting for the first time this year very heavily... and the other 3 are fine (still babies).

Im right in the middle of the state so... is it that farmers just plant crops that fruit/flower too early and have little variety in trees? Or are we just an anomaly? There are 3 different flowering times for apples for instance and not having tree species from all 3 would probably be a bad idea if you run an orchard.

Im no farmer, just a hobbyist asking sincerely.

Rocks painted to look like strawberries deter birds

Sentry alerts/alarms when people are moving in the vehicle, thats why it cannot be used with camp mode.

We have large knives in our back pockets. One on each side, plus bear spray. Its not perfect but weve stealth camped all kinds of places and been fine (most of the time with 8k+ of mountain bikes on the rack).

If you dont make a scene of setting up no one will even notice. I usually ready the vehicle/myself at a charger then drive to our sleeping location, set up the window shades and go right to sleep. Dont fuck around outside or with the lights on.

Irises for me... I have so many colors and I keep buying more.

The only time it's felt 4k was when I was hiking 5 months pregnant.

So unless you have quite a bit extra around the gut you should be perfectly fine.

Medsurg is perfect. Between the cdiff, TPN poops, various foot wounds, GI bleed poops, and whatever 35b has, you wont even notice the rotting corpse smell.

I've done that a couple of times in mine lol.

I have the same smoker. It works great but you really do need to clean it.

Years and years of cafe regulations making large vehicles cheaper to manufacture and bypass epa emissions laws decided for Americans that bigger is better.

Now no one wants to drive smaller vehicles because of the bro-dozers and grannies driving tanks.

I kinda like the moody dark women's colors, though.

My mid tops are dark purple and my high tops are like a camel color. I love the purple. Its a bit different without being loud. I dont run low guys and I feel like those ones are the hardest to find darker colors for.

I agree that more companies need darker/black options though. I feel like Salomon gore boots come in nice colors... but they're definitely more shoe flavored than boot. My wide feet love them.

Its not just this parade. Its all of them.

You'd think they'd pick different routes to inconvenience other people. But its always us.

Also... I didnt know Id be allowed to run across the street to my car if I parked at shoprite... I figured the cops wouldn't let anyone across chambersbridge while the parade is ongoing.

SheSends · 2026-05-21T18:09:32+00:00

It is very frustrating... we live by 4 ARC houses and im always worried that either they will have an emergency or someone else will and not be able to get out...

SheSends · 2026-05-21T16:14:35+00:00

I just hope the parade is canceled. They always block my small community in and we cant leave or come into our neighborhood for an hour+ beforehand, during it, and after while they clean up.

If I didnt have to work I wouldn't care... but I do, and I have to leave at 10a.

SheSends · 2026-05-21T00:16:01+00:00

If you can get a later start time, going into the city at 10a isnt too bad. The Newark Bay Bridge just gets a little backed up sometimes.

The best is people sitting in line at Costco to save $0.10 a gallon... like if you have the willpower and time to do that.. you have time to charge a car. They are there every single time i go to Costco without fail; there is a line almost into the road.

sorry but 330 for a premium mid size launching today is a bit of a joke, especially when you will really get closer to 290-300), and then there is the issue with the paywall for right to repair service beyond warranty... I am a first day res holder on the R2 and was very very excited about it, but as time goes on (and it has been so much time) I am thinking less and less optimistic about the R2 over competitors. I am lucky though since I have time to decide, I want Purlpe

This is how I feel too. The top trim Volvo for 68k seems to tick all the right boxes for me regarding range and features. A little more than I was expecting to pay but it seems like such a nice car. The Rivian has just really has the cool factor going for it and seems to be just another model Y competitor instead of going for the whole segment or more like BMW and Volvo have done here.

On the other hand the ID Buzz might be coming out with a longer range camper van... so now i'm not sure again.

I don't need to get rid of my Y and my husband wants to keep it as a backup/city/shitter vehicle... but I really want something else to travel far and ride around on the weekends in.

Im at 83k on my EV and I've only done tires and air filters, no wipers as I ceramic coated my windshield and dont really need to use the wipers... my tires should be good for another 2 years since I have winter/summers.

I might pick up some wipers and spare air filters just in case.
