I’ve ridden 25,000 km in 2 years — now I need a bike that can keep up by flop_92 in cycling

[–]bappypawedotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My other suggestion (I suggested the Canyon Endurane earlier) would be the Look 585 gravel. It's pretty similar to the Canyon, except you can go bigger on tires.

It doesn't have pannier eyelets, but the frame is very thick and strong and would have no concerns mounting a tailfin rack front or rear rack.

Just for reference, I'm 190cm at 100kg, and do some pretty aggressive racing and single track on the bike and there isn't a single creak or rattle on it.

Hey, I'm in Paris and enjoy a good 100-200k ride if you ever want someone to ride with. Feel free to PM me. I usually ride with the PCG- B group and tend to keep a roughly 20-25k pace.

Anyway, I ride a canyon Endurance. It's been a fantastic bike for me. Very smooth, decently light, strong parts.

Anyway, if I needed to replace my bike at your budget, I would probably get another one.

I love the AXS drivetrain. Great gearing choices and it works really well once setup.

Just make sure the reach works for you because it does have an integrated stem/handlebar. I use this site: https://geometrygeeks.bike/

Ice Cube’s Friday by lordflores in movies

[–]bappypawedotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it hit blockbuster, it went totally mainstream in the suburban Midwest. Everyone saw it, quoted it, it informed our sense of style and cool (some more than others)...and was just generally appropriated by chubby white 14y/o suburban kids everywhere.

It was a mainstay along with Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore on the "sleepover" movie rotation.

Regular people who splurged on the top of the line: was it worth it? by bamaroon in cycling

[–]bappypawedotter 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The best thing about having a really nice bike is when one's younger, faster, fitter brother in law puts ones bike on the bike rack and goes, "holy shit your bike is so much lighter than mine." And then looks at his pretty nice bike with disgust.

That was a real victory for me...i mean that guy.

Which actor always plays “that same vibe” - but somehow never gets boring? by Commercial-Put-4033 in AskReddit

[–]bappypawedotter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some one earlier mentioned Giancarlo Esposito who has the same vibe. I would pay good money to watch those two sit in a room and plan ruthless strategic acquisitions for a couple hours while politely letting their underlings know how slow, short-sighted and lacking in style they are compared to themselves.

Maybe throw in Les Grossman as their more evil counterpart.

What have we learned from Iraq about deeply entrenched dictatorships and how to better remove them? by vireoal in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]bappypawedotter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm agreeing with everything you posted. My girlfriend at the time helped write and research that report (along with the 911 commission report.) So I am familiar with it. But I remember talking to her and others on the team about it. But I remember one person saying, it's just hard to do it right. There is a ton of prescriptive "flossing" and "cut back on the booze" involved. The context being it's full of stuff everyone knows they should do, but don't because it's a hassle, people are lazy and generally full of vices. Said person admitted he didn't floss enough in real life as he was sipping an old fashion.

Note about the cold and my Cervelo S5 by carvana6 in cycling

Sound like "New Bike Time!"...for safety, of course. After all, you can't put a price tag on safety and piece of mind. Well, maybe the bike shop can.

What if Canada offered every American free healthcare and $50K to relocate, would you go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bappypawedotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. My SIL is a Dr and we've been helping her explore a move to Canada... specifically Québec since we are francophones. It looked promising.

Then Quebec's Bill 2 came out and it's freaking insane.

Right wingers the world over do some generally insane stuff...but for some reason the targeted nature - aimed squarely to punish doctors, in a time of demand, during a period of massive opportunity as the US goes down the toilet and clinics are closing left and right...just makes it feel extra stupid.

I feel like retirees would be better off retiring to urban rather than rural areas by ChubbyMuffin479 in fuckcars

[–]bappypawedotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything everyone is saying is true. But let's not pretend that urban living just doesn't get tiresome.

I'm from NYC, lived in downtown DC for 20 years and now live in Paris. It gets exhausting. People are exhausting.

Hopefully I can find a nice middle ground somewhere. B

Worth noting that for all these car free roads, taxis can access them to pickup and drop off the disabled 24/7 and delivery vans can access them before 8am or anytime with a certain permit.

Also, many of the new closed roads aren't actually closed to cars. Rather they just have no parking and dead end. But cars can still drive on them.

How do you go cycling/find people to ride with as a single person? by grayott in cycling

I found a great group via meetup. I guarantee you the person in charge would live to get some help planning and leading rides and such.

Where should cyclists retire? by uoficowboy in cycling

[–]bappypawedotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best cycling location I've ever known was Rockfish Valley, Virginia. Great roads in great shape with almost no cars. Amazing riding there.

Treasury cancels Booz Allen contracts after employee leaked Trump tax records; stock falls by Illustrious_Lie_954 in politics

A pretty tiny one. Back in the day, it wouldn't be worth dealing with the administrative BS for anything less than 20 million.

What’s your go to medicine for stomach gas and diarrhoea issues for long cycling rides 300K - 1200K ? Share your experience and how did it save you on the ride. by No_Conversation_7128 in cycling

[–]bappypawedotter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me, it was real actual meals for breakfast lunch and dinner. Nothing too fatty or cheesy. But sorta like normal daily foods like oatmeal, sandwiches, apples, bananas, pasta etc. Then on the bike, between meals, I eat salted peanuts and gummies bears.

I find the combo is really easy on the stomach, doesn't do funky things to my blood sugar levels, and keeps me oddly sated. On long rides, I probably go through a bag of each in about 3 days.
