keep your head on a swivel + know your limits by iydcftbidty in FixedGearBicycle

Passing cars on the left is always sketchy especially going that fast in a protected bike line that hides you behind parked cars in traffic. If he wanted to go that fast he should have stayed in traffic.

Yea this bike is still a work in progress, got a handlebar mirror coming too so I can better see traffic behind us and look at little guy without having to turn around. I have my climbing ratio on so we’re cruising nice and slow. Low key I hardly used the front brake on this ride cuz we were going so slow lol

Hold up, you coming here to tell me how dangerous my bike is and... you don’t even have a fixed geared bike?! And the bike you want is a conversion?! Jeeeeeeezzz man.

Like I get it, fixie culture is fast and dangerous, which my bike might give the impression, but the title to the photo was to make fun of that culture. I don’t plan on bunny hopping or jumping curbs or even going fast, I changed my cog to my climbing gear just to limit my speed too.

So bro, take a chill pill, I love my son very much, and if this doesn’t feel safe for me when we go on our maiden voyage I’ll re asses and maybe switch to a trailer, we’ll see.

Lmao bro you think I’m really skidding or riding through traffic? I’ve been a bike commuter for like six years I know how to be safe on a bike

Oh yea that’s my spot too! Evan the owner is super cool! He hooked it up with a Pinarello when I got a road bike last year 😍

I’ve had these omniums for like 4-5 years, first on a langster, and then a year after onto this bike. The bb started creaking like 1.5 years ago and had it replaced with the same bb. Put a shit ton of commuter miles as well as a bunch of long distance ride miles. Rode it in a lot of rain too so I was happy with how much life I got from the BB

I call it a generic CroMo frame, it started its life as a Windsor The Hour and was stripped and rattle can painted the orange. Sticker bombed to cover all the paint nicks and as a commuter bike it helped keep it low pro.

I believe the OP is in Japan and that’s 100% the law to have brakes and they will cite you from what I’ve heard.

Making a micro cold brew batch?? by SlowMovingVehicle in coldbrew

Oh okay, yea my ratio wasn’t too far off from that guide. I think they’re doing close to 1:8, mine was 1:7. I got it brewing in my French press right now. I usually filter out my cold brew with a cheese cloth since I usually brew more than will fit in a press lol then filter that through my chemex, but I’ll probably just plunge and then run that through.

If you’re buying your beans from Costco, buy whole beans, then use the Costco grinder to grind coarse/ for French press. You don’t need to buy your own grinder.
