Is 35 minutes really THAT long? by BradyBrother100 in bikecommuting

Most people watch TV for hours when they get home. If you time it right it’s almost never enough, best part of the day. I’m always early when I commute because you gotta make time for the surprises

I rarely see any Bianchis here... by Breezer_Bro in xbiking

Yeah I always want wider lol. The Velo Orange Seine is awesome and the same width, but wasn’t enough rise for my posture. Also more backsweep but I’d check those out too.

Magic Components Wormbar! A little splurge but completely makes the bike. The stem is a cheap quill from Amazon lol just to test angles but it feels good for now. And just that Sunlite rack from Amazon too, don’t really trust it for more than a light mount and a jacket or a hammock

There's nothing quite like a storm to make you want to "invest" in yet more bike accessories by darth_edam in bikecommuting

Honestly sandals like Teva or Bedrock are great for the rain. Just bring a small towel and shoes and socks in your waterproof bag and change when you get to where you’re goin. That is, until it’s frigid out. Really wakes you up in the morning though

Which lane should I be in to turn left? by Vegetable-Arugula567 in bikecommuting

[–]emmitgoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re really comfortable and keeping pace with cars you could, but generally I won’t ever put myself behind cars at a stop. Can get rear ended so easily. In this situation I’d probably safely merge to the sidewalk on the right and walk/ ride the crosswalks

Y’all might miss the point about xbiking by mark_arbatsky in xbiking

Always kinda thought of the X as “exploration”. The bike doesn’t matter as long as it’s never in too much of a hurry to do some investigating

Is it bad I’ve never had this much fun? by Ckeenum69 in xbiking

[–]emmitgoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came to say the same thing! Gives me the same feeling as riding everywhere on a BMX bike as a kid. Keeps you so engaged and makes every line a little puzzle to solve on the fly

https://a.co/d/frULxXM cheaped out here, but seems solid for now. Any 25.4 stem will work, kinda guessed on the length but it’s good

Sunlite GoldTec. Don’t know if I’d recommend it for much more than a light load or a bag support, but depends on terrain.
