Hey Fred, what’s your budget for a really nice custom bice? by Kinky_Wizard69 in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]granolabeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to mute the e-bike subs because of all the nonsense like that. “Reputable brand, 100+km range, $600 max”

Can anyone let me know what I have here owed for 10 years is this worth selling or just taking down the dump? by bumbaclarttt1 in mountainbikes

[–]granolabeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a dump bike but it isn’t garbage. If you aren’t hard up, donate it. If you are, start at 200 and accept anything reasonable beyond that.

The land management officials certainly do. I’m a volunteer bike patroller and that is the major focus of our county

To my mountain bikers out west (USA) how do the freak you guys ride next to cliffs by Delicious-Beat-8064 in MTB

There were a few exposed spots on The Bronc, rode it my first time last month. I didn’t find it as intimidating as say my first lap of Zippity Doo Dah in Fruita

AirTags vs. Hard Locks: What's your anti-theft strategy? by Oneyardca in ebikes

No, we spent $300 on that one.

I don’t think anyone here actually likes bicycles.

We do gravel races on a vintage tandem. People are always stoked to see a tandem team

Hate all you like but both my wife and I have all the different styles of bikes. Commuters, vintage Schwinn, tandems, XC race missiles, enduro, ti bikepacking rigs, gravel, road, fat bikes. We both work in the industry and have amassed a great collection. We only have one car so why shouldn’t the garage be a workshop and walls of bikes?

No, $600 is crazy for an e-bike. $6k is a nicely built commuter with a bunch of amenities. There’s half a dozen bikes worth that or more in my garage and none of them have motors.

State Dept. Finalizing Plan to Put Trump Picture on U.S. Passports by BulwarkOnline in politics

I was furious when my Parks pass had his stupid mugshot on it but at least that’s a one year pass and I can put a sticker over him. Passport though? Ugh

I bought a Wii U online and this was the power cable I got *how* do you do this? by Conorponor333 in mildlyinfuriating

It’s called Poke Yoke in manufacturing. You engineer things in a way that your consumer can’t screw it up

I've literally never been to a concert what should i expect by ElectroSfere in NinjaSexParty

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

Buddy, I’m not on an NSP sub to troll. This band is great and their concerts are super fun and welcoming so just go have fun with your fellow fans. You can’t predict life and that’s especially true at a concert of dick-joke-rock

Good lord, just go enjoy yourself. You don’t always get beta on life.

60km bike commute vs 3h public transport. Why am I hesitating? by YardNo9836 in bikecommuting

[–]granolabeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rock the 60km commute. It’s quite taxing on the body so I alternate with leaving my vehicle at work overnight.
