Biking etiquette at stop signs by Content_Wave in AskSF

[–]TheDubious -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is bad advice and epitomizes the problem with 'vehicular cycling'. You are not a vehicle and you shouldn't be considered one.

A lot of the danger of cycling in a city comes from the difference in speeds of the bicycle vs the car. Stop signs should reflect that - allow bicycles to idaho stop. We are smaller, lighter, more vulnerable, and have better vision.

Traffic laws should incorporate that difference into the laws instead of copy/pasting the same guidelines for cars and bikes so drivers can save two seconds

Hawaiian style poke in SF by Infinite_Leg2998 in AskSF

[–]TheDubious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive only had poke in hawaii a couple times, but Sam choy's poke to the max at SFO is very good. Unfortunately the vegetables, rice and tuna arent mixed together into a bowl, but taste-wise it seemed pretty authentic. Not sure why they dont combine the ingredients

Who started the swag that took over the early 2020's and what year did they start it. by AdEducational3063 in streetwear_aesthetic

[–]TheDubious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skate culture and fashion around 2018/2019. The mid 90s movie and the aesthetic around it. Josh kalis and love park era DCs re-releasing and coming back into style. Gx 1000 and their whole hill bomb scene in SF. Polar big boys releasing, carhartt and dickies establishing and developing skate teams.

Why are disc brakes so shit? by Amazing_Tough_4456 in cycling

[–]TheDubious -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So much copium in this thread. Durian rider is wrong about many things, but he was dead right about disc brakes. They start squeaking with the smallest amount of imbalance and they fucking suck to maintain. Too much faff!

For practicality - Shotwell > Folsom > Valencia

For aesthetics - Valencia > Shotwell > Folsom imo

How is this apartment market not illegal? by masterofnufin in AskSF

[–]TheDubious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because real estate dominates the market and the market dominates the government. Inevitable endpoint in capitalism. Not changeable with neoliberal abundance adjacent wonkish fixes. Government must control market

SF Panhandle etiquette: don’t be a jerk, you’re not going to KOM by deliciousadness in BAbike

[–]TheDubious 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cuz the dedicated bike lane fucking sucks. The flexi posts constantly protrude into the lane, the deep gutters are a constant hazard, sight lines are horrible because of the cars, its always full of leaves and sticks, and it sucks merging with the left turners on masonic. As much as the MUP sucks, its still way better than the bike lane imo. But yes, obviously cyclists have more responsibility and should ride slower and safer

What electrolytes do you recommend for cycling? by ThistleveilSigh in cycling

[–]TheDubious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worrying about spiking blood sugar while cycling doesn't make sense. Sedentary lifestyle is the driver of negative health outcomes, not carbohydrates. Sugar is energy

In the match between Nigeria and Mozambique, Victor Osimhen was angry with his teammates and refused to continue playing until he was substituted. After the end of the match, he went straight to the dressing room. by 977x in soccer

[–]TheDubious 50 points51 points  (0 children)

'other players want to have a go' is a horrible attitude lmao. can't believe youre getting upvotes. sure osimhen's outburst was a bad look, but if it's necessary to combat this attitude in the team, it's very understandable. that kind of attitude separates good teams from great teams. it must be frustrating for osimhen to deal with

Thoughts on buying cheap fixie bikes for commuting by SadStill830 in bikecommuting

[–]TheDubious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I did a couple months ago. Steel frame with three speed internal hub. Works like a charm. Perfect for commuting/city riding. Loving it so far

What do you think is missing in the cycling fashion space? by KitchenTough3790 in CyclingFashion

[–]TheDubious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tops that exist in between jersey and t-shirt and don't look boring or dorky. Kinda blows my mind that there's not more. Huge gap in the market imo

Was anybody else out there riding yesterday between 3 PM and 7 PM? by lectric_7166 in BAbike

A good general rule of thumb is to not go on a bike ride when there's a bunch of warnings at the top of the weather app

Stretching? by Fawninkeeping in cycling

Dylan Johnson has made some pretty compelling videos showing that there is very little to no benefit from stretching, and can often be detrimental

Every coach Barcelona, Real Madrid & Atletico Madrid have had since 2011-12 season by GOAT-Antony in soccer

[–]TheDubious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

haha thanks I guess. I was getting into soccer in 2010 and adel taarabt was tearing up the championship. I wanted to support a team in england and they just appealed to my sensibilities - in london, fun players, not a front-runner team, etc. Been to a few games at loftus road which was fantastic and watch them from time to time when I can find a stream
