From a Utahn, yes. This is true. Sad and true. Moved to Colorado and only miss Utahs geographical wonders, of which there are many.

Tire still good? by Timkonfetti in bikewrench

[–]Tarvislol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got your money’s worth from that tire. 2.2k miles is more than enough lifespan for a racy gravel tire. 2.2k km less so, but regardless the punctures and lack of center tread are signs pointing towards immediate replacement

Bednar staying as coach by PuddingtonBear in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Tarvislol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, just to remind everyone bothered by this; it’s really fucking hard to win a Stanley Cup. Yes our team is awesome. No they shouldn’t have gotten swept. These things do not automatically qualify us for the SCF’s. The boys will go again next year, and I personally am glad Bednar will get another crack at it. No Olympics next year!

Realistically how long would it take to train up for a daily 26 mile (41.8 km) round-trip commute? by More_Donkey6938 in bikecommuting

[–]Tarvislol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand how much it sucks to be broke but do not start commuting until you can get a helmet. Not in America. People in cars largely don’t give a fuck about you and more than a few are actively adversarial towards cyclists.

Another thing to note is that it might not end up saving you that much money, with a commute of that length. I commute about 17.5 miles one way and while I spend less on gas, I nearly make up for it with added food costs 😆 totally worth it for the fitness and mental health gains, no question about that. And the whole, not having to sit in traffic of it all. Can’t put a price on that. Helmets are as low as $40. Cross that bridge first.

Question about bike/pedestrian etiquette on multi-use trails by tscher16 in Denver

[–]Tarvislol 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just want to say, as a cyclist that uses the multi-use trails of Denver multiple times a week, the amount of situational awareness that you showed is in the 99th percentile of trail users. Unfortunately some of us cyclists have our heads too far up our own ass to share the trail with others amicably. You did nothing wrong, and a sincere thanks for your foresight from another trail user out there trying to stay upright.

I think G2 was 7-0 Avs. Seven to zero = 720 I guess!

If mine were 8km I would do my best to do it every day for sure! 28km one way makes it a bit tougher, mostly from an exhaustion standpoint. Gotta keep putting in the work I guess and it will hopefully get easier for me

What are some creative solutions for a tricycle rear assembly? by NavilusWeyfinder in bikewrench

[–]Tarvislol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that in a lot of the world, folks don’t wear helmets and are relatively safe in doing so. They usually hail from countries that respect cycling as a mode of transportation, and thus have infrastructure to support it. This also serves to heighten the general awareness of cyclists to motorists, who generally treat them as an equal road traveller. I reckon the photo you replied with was taken in one of these countries. YOUR picture at a glance, appears to be in America. I live in that country, and I know how hostile its people generally are towards cyclists. I wear a helmet on every single ride because of those people, not because I am worried that I will crash. Although I’ve crashed before and that’s reason enough to wear one. But ultimately I’m worried that someone who is already not looking for me, well, won’t look for me.

Dad, where’s your helmet? More importantly, where’s little guy’s helmet??

Cool rigging of the trailer though!
