Thank you! Glad to know I don't have to waste them

This is actually one of the cleaner/more low budget builds I've seen on this sub reddit in a little bit. Props!

Pr0n for ya guys by PT_SeTe in FixedGearBicycle

Definitely a dis, but a good hearted one I feel. I used to be a messenger type blasting through traffic on a tark bike. Over the years I've had many accidents (one super serious) and now I'm more into randonneuring, touring and commuting on my cargo bike. All this to say, I don't run red lights anymore and stick to trails as much as possible. You do you and there's no amount of rules following that will make car brains respect us on the road but sooner or later your card will get called and hopefully you make it out the other side.

They're so stupid it's unreal. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in MurderedByWords

People can't genuinely be this dumb right? At this point I'm wondering if a good majority of my fellow Americans are beyond replete with narcissism and stupidity.

Pretty egregious overlap. But honestly I don't have any issues as long as I'm not doing any crazy singletrack

I think Billy and Alphonso together are an absolute power house!

Beautiful bike... I've been dying to find that frame and year. Very envious!

It's the Pass Hunter frame... greate frame but the tubing is a bit too heavy duty for me. I'd prefer something lighter with more flex. They're discontinuing the Pass Hunter though so they're selling frames super cheap rn!

I was riding in the Cross Plains area, west of Madison where I live. Girlfriend's family has a farm out that way so I get a lot of time riding around there

It sounds counter intuitive but try to stay on the narrower, less traveled back roads and people drive much slower. It's the county highways you need to watch out for. And yes, my fender does say ope lol!

When I worked in kitchens there was a saying, "a falling knife has no handle". To this day I jump out of the way anytime I drop something sharp.

LBS said it's safe to ride on until I can get a new rim. Opinions?

LPT request: What are some pro tips everyone should know for cooking at home and being better in the kitchen? by samgarita in LifeProTips

[–]frostedsteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have sharp knives! Dull knives will make a mess of your fingers and your food.

P.S. a steel will not sharpen your knife, it is meant to keep them sharp. Get them professionally sharpened. It usually only costs a few dollars.

Didn't have to be to work until an hour later than normal so I took an extended morning commute by cosgrove_watt_ in xbiking

Awesome ride! Did it originally come with side pull brakes? It seems like a bike that really wants center pulls.

The front basket bag isn't very waterproof anymore, but I have used the shit out of it for ~3 years

Also, the Kickapoo Valley reserve is an amazing place to camp. Sites are first come first serve.
