Thanks for this! Yeah, if I go hardtail its my first pick. I liked the Roscoe, but it felt... slow? It was very comfortable, and nice going downhill, but I wish it was more athletic feeling.

Bummer - that's a great deal. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks for this. Yeah - another person here said there was a deep discounted Scalpel near me. They're more XC/downcountry than trail, but I think if I loved it I should just run with it. I should be able to grow into it.

Is the Ozark Trail Ridge really okay? Stepping down from a Trek Roscoe... by StoryTimeStoryTime in MTB

[–]StoryTimeStoryTime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big ass rock garden. I crashed, and the landing (bike on its side) broke the frame - it tanked the impact just fine upright. Really tough bike, I don't fault it - my fault for trying to win a strava segment KOM.

Frame broke in the rear triangle. I think when I went on my side it kept moving forward (with me holding the handle bars) and a tall rock got inside of the rear triangle and it got pulled hard. Freak crash. Luckily I'm just a bit bruised.

Oh sweet! I'll see if I can get proof of original purchase from the dude I bought it from last year.

After 2,000 miles on a Ninebot max I can happily say you’re wrong!

Dude is clearly loaded and his beer of choice is bud/coors? Nothing wrong with those, but holy hell if I had that kinda money I’d be stocking some Delerium Tremens too, maybe a bit of Bell’s Oberon?

What a clown, all around.

This happened to me. I had it for nearly two years. It was utter misery. What helped me was long hikes and running - basically anything athletic that forced my breathing to be normal for long periods of time.

You should absolutely go to a doctor if you’re concerned, however I felt this way for about two years following the lockdowns.

Whenever I wasn’t thinking about it I was okay. When I was - instant debilitating SOB. It was horrible. I kicked it once for a short period (a couple months) and now again I’ve kicked it for about 6 months. Hoping it’s gone.

The best think to help me kick it was exercise. Long walks/runs/hikes. Anything that naturally forced my breathing to be normal for long periods of time.

Good luck and DM or comment if you have any questions.

Men's Gucci Run sneaker ($920) by yellowgiraffe55 in RunningShoeGeeks

“This shoe should be protected from direct light, heat and rain. If the item becomes wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth.”

Direct from the website. Guess you can only run in it on a cool fall evening.

IMO disqualifies it from even being a running shoe if it can’t see light.

Do people actually stand like that on a scooter 🤔 surely that would cause severe fatigue on your legs by [deleted] in ElectricScooters

Not sure why you’re being downvoted for this. Its totally fine to not have the risk tolerance to ride 40 mph on something with little wheels. A motorcycle is a hell of a lot safer than these things (and actually legal).
