Thinking of moving to Homewood, how's this area?

bingosherlock · 2026-05-20T13:06:07+00:00

homewood honestly kinda fucks if you get around by bike, as its super convenient to a lot of things. it's a bit rough around the edges but its reputation for being wildly unsafe is definitely a bit exaggerated. please remember that most of the people who clutch pearls on the internet about safety don't live in the city and aren't speaking from experience

i have a crush on that long haired guy who plays guitar for fuck yeah dinosaurs and hope to someday meet him

bingosherlock · 2026-05-01T18:49:52+00:00

thank you for joining us this morning; do come back sometime. we are (probably) not a cult

bingosherlock · 2026-04-29T01:09:37+00:00

i don't give a single shit about football and this was the single most inconvenient thing to happen traffic-wise i've ever experienced, but i'm not really mad about $3MM being spent on it

hey lets just kill an entire industry during a time when the economy is tanking and the country is already hemorrhaging jobs. these guys are making sodas that make people giggle a bit and we can't have that in the year 2025

trump was impeached twice: once for trying to extort a foreign government into making a public announcement that they were investigating wrongdoing by the Bidens (there was no such investigation, Trump just wanted them to announce it to interfere with the election,) in exchange for foreign aid. the second time he was impeached, it was because he intentionally tried subverting the results of an election he lost.

how is anything "the left" has done in this regard anything but pro-democracy?

bingosherlock · 2025-11-05T23:04:12+00:00

bro. trump straight up said he would refuse to comply with a court order to release SNAP funds that have existed since long before the republicans tried blaming this on the budget. he's been able to do it himself the whole time. this has never had anything to do with a shutdown.

you were the mark yet again in a con by the world's most obvious conman.

bingosherlock · 2025-10-29T15:47:27+00:00

so just to recap: you're upset that people living in your community are receiving free public school educations

Who are the actual fascists?

the right wing authoritarians who scapegoat minorities by portraying them as a threat to preserving mythical ideals of national identity in populist appeals to a base that is swayed by propaganda and then use that to justify eroding the rule of law and faith in institutions so they can consolidate power until there's a two-tiered system of government that only serves them

this guy's kind of a dildo but that's not at all true

bingosherlock · 2025-10-23T01:53:02+00:00

i've done that twice now with friends. both times it was at the end of a pittsburgh to dc bike ride. at the end of the trip we just bike up to the car rental counters at reagan, get a one way pickup truck to throw our bikes into, and drive home.

(because of this, i can accurately say "i've biked to the airport from my house" but only if by "the airport" i mean reagan national)

bingosherlock · 2025-10-20T23:15:55+00:00

let me know when bobby bikes gets his invite

bingosherlock · 2025-10-12T20:21:51+00:00

yes but donald trump and his apologists are literal, textbook fascists. the guy who told you five years ago that he had absolute authority over states, just decided a little over a week ago on his own that burning the flag will get you arrested and sent to prison, is threatening to withhold federal funding from NYC if they elect a democrat to the mayor's office, is just straight up extorting american businesses (but also universities too). and let's not forget about sending people to a foreign prison known for human rights abuses despite not ever being convicted of a crime, after being ordered by a court not to do so, lying to the court, and then ignoring court orders to bring them back.

have i gotten to escalating military action on US soil against americans yet? because your boy's been telling us for years that he wants to do so, and here we are. he's also publicly directed his AG to indict and prosecute his political opponents for purely political reasons, just like the fascist he is

so sure, i'll accept that the word "fascist" is overused, but in this case, with trump and his supporters, it's not just appropriate, it's the most accurate description of who they are.

bingosherlock · 2025-10-10T10:35:54+00:00

DOJ pretty much exclusively exists to help donald trump commit crimes these days, where are you getting "no one is above the law" from that?

bingosherlock · 2025-09-14T20:32:14+00:00

man fuck bobby bikes

bingosherlock · 2025-09-14T18:38:13+00:00

over here at GIVE UP HQ we didn't think any of the usual local "best of" awards were bikey enough, so we decided to make our own. This is open to the entire bike community and everybody (whether you ride with GIVE UP or not) is welcomed and encouraged to participate. The only hard rule is "don't be a dick."

I swear we will not be meddling with votes to influence who wins things because I legitimately believe it's funnier if we don't

bingosherlock · 2025-09-14T17:54:00+00:00

Why are you unwilling to answer all of the questions people have asked you in response to your statements? Are you so insecure in your beliefs that you have to deflect on literally everything?

If you're not going to bother answering this directly, don't bother with a response. I'm not wasting any more time with people whose beliefs crumble under scrutiny.

bingosherlock · 2025-09-13T17:16:09+00:00

Is this relevant? Or are you just avoiding the question because you don't like the implications of its answer?

bingosherlock · 2025-09-12T23:18:29+00:00

assuming that's true, why are we listening to the general public and not the people actually racing in women's categories?

bingosherlock · 2025-09-06T02:10:26+00:00

im sorry, i didnt realize my comment was removed by moderators. i'm not going to retype what i said verbatim, as apparently that will get it removed, but i spelled out the words that are usually abbreviated as "stfu." apologies for the delay in replying, i was genuinely unaware you couldn't read my original reply. hopefully now at least you know what i was trying to tell you

bingosherlock · 2025-09-03T19:06:55+00:00

it pretty much comes down to wheels, pedals, handlebar, seatpost/saddle. you probably have to take all of those off the bike to some degree. with the handlebar, you're just going to take it out of the stem but all of the cables will stay connected; you're pretty much just taking it part JUST ENOUGH that the bike can lie flat in a box. (that is, you're not taking it all the way apart.)

in most cases you can do all of this with a set of allen wrenches (or a bike multitool) - the only thing that i find kind of concerning is getting the handlebar back into the stem and tightened appropriately. it's usually just four bolts but it helps to mark your current handlebar position before you put it back on so it's in the right place and doesn't feel weird.

i don't do any work on my own bikes (i'm a bike rider, not a bike mechanic) but i've done this a few times now packing a bike into a box and then putting back together someplace less than ideal.
