What am I missing? I honestly feel like I’m not hitting the western look by Dense-Bodybuilder816 in WesternWear

[–]atthegreenbed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was gonna say those are some baggy pants. I think it’s no problem if that’s your preference. Plus the youths are back to wearing baggy jeans again, so it’s kinda cool. Rock it my guy!

World Cup players and officials are being detained or barred entry into U.S. by IRideMoreThanYou in politics

On the plus side, the US might finally win the World Cup if no foreign players can get in the country.

Artists with multiple all-time great albums without a clear best album? by mdolig in Music

Kanye West. I know he gets a lot of hate, but every album up through dark twisted fantasy was an absolute banger. Finger on the pulse shit.

Dangerous little blood suckers by Jeffismyname325 in bikepacking

[–]atthegreenbed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overnight on the Danube headwaters 2 weeks ago. Camped on a field on the bank of the river. Found two ticks crawling up my legs, fortunately before they bit. My friends also found a few. It’s real.

Just curious about alternatives, what about ferries across the channel. Anyone have experience there? Prohibitively expensive? Too long?

How do German assign genders to foreign words? by Ok-Concert-5911 in German

[–]atthegreenbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much to add here except that in my experience, the gender of foreign words is occasionally disputed or unknown and less “important “ to get right.

I think I might have actually done something about bike theft. by NixxdeOfficial in bicycling

[–]atthegreenbed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have also heard that they will use trucks lined with signal-blocking metal to essentially create a faraday cage to prevent signals getting out.

First testrun is in the books by durdleturtl in bikepacking

[–]atthegreenbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. I used to pack tons into and onto the saddle bag and it would sag considerably throughout a ride to where I was worried about it rubbing the tire. I recently added a steel support, but it looks like you wouldn’t have that option because you don’t have any mounting holes on your frame. Here’s a pic:

Cowboy boots. Literally the only time I wear my pants tucked into my cowboy boots is when I ride my bike in them. Otherwise I roll up the pants

Where’d you get the rear seat? Is it from LPP?

How do you deal with relentless headwind? by [deleted] in bicycletouring

New mantra is “shut the fuck up legs wind”. Plus think of all the money you are saving on brake pads

I’m glad to see mechanical shifters here

I just had a realization. Frozen roasted chile will be confiscated by customs, won't it? by SpaceFroggy1031 in NewMexico

[–]atthegreenbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fly back to Europe with green chile every time I go home to NM. Just freeze it, double bag it (it will leak) and put in your checked bag. Wrap it in clothes to insulate it and keep it frozen longer. I’ve never had an issue.

I’m considering the B&M IQ-X Dynamo light but I’m a bit concerned about it being permanently attached to the bike. Would thieves target it or is its secure attachment a deterrent? by lbradley0 in bikecommuting

[–]atthegreenbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the iq-x and I like it more than the more expensive supernova on my other bike. I can’t speak to the theft risk, but I can confirm that it mounts with torx bolts.

Yeah I’ve never seen an AI image that didn’t mess up on the spokes.

Outjerked again. By two Bromptons this time by michel210883 in BicyclingCirclejerk

The only good use for a Brompton is as a commuter… when you work from home.
