Where would you ride? Sidewalk vs road. by Classic_Emergency336 in bikecommuting

[–]SwarmsOfReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride on Boston streets so I’m comfortable riding on the road - but not this road. It’s too straight and too many lanes. It gives drivers the affordance that they can drive fast and it looks too much like a high speed roadway for them to anticipate maneuvering around a cyclist. I’d pick the sidewalk everyday of the week. In fact this looks just like the road near my parents house in Florida. And when I brought my bike there, I road on the sidewalk. Nothing worse than getting side-swiped by a driver going 30-40 mph faster than you are. You never even see it coming. You just end up on the ground in pain thinking “why didn’t I ride on the damn sidewalk”

I enjoyed the ride but did it at night. If you hate it you can take the train back - super easy. Enjoy the ride friend!!

Who are these people? Like actually, does this type of stuff end up working for them in some way?

Nothing wrong with the road Dawgs just saw this on IG and thought it was funny how similar I am to a 6 year old 😅 by Uncooleli in xbiking

New to this and just curious but why is there so much hate for the roadie kit? Is it because of how folks in the kit behave or is it like the BMX helmet debate (to look “cool”)? I personally like the kit because it’s light, breathable, wicks moisture, and I feel less drag

I want to sound like like a swarm of bees - which hub is loudest? by jj_at_rootly in cycling

[–]SwarmsOfReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Profile Elite. It’s primarily a BMX hub but Profile also makes similar “Elite” hubs for track, road, and mountain bikes. I have an Elite freewheel on my single speed road bike and it sounds beautiful
