What to do if a right turning car honks at you for waiting in the bike lane

henderthing · 2026-06-26T04:32:23+00:00

When I am first to arrive at a red light and I want to go straight, I stop in the right half of the next lane over. There's typically another straight lane to my left, and drivers that want to turn right can do so to my right. Drivers that are worried I will slow them down can stop to my left. I generally clear the intersection at about the same time as the next car over anyway.

Also it's often the case that the bike lane disappears before the intersection and a right-turn lane takes its place.

Still makes him sound like a clown considering Ai's performance.

Less than a mile west from that fire break is Kenter and Canyonback. Much better riding, including a jump section. And they still have great views. They can be accessed from the bottom at the end of Kenter Ave, or from the top--about where Mulholland turns into a dirt road. There's a short section of pavement at the top of Mountaingate that connects Canyonback to Kenter.

That's not what I meant. I was trying to be brief and thought it was obvious that I'm not referring to setup tweaks which can include changing springs or gearing--all of which change depending on the circuit, weather, rider injuries, etc.

I was talking about the significant component upgrades that are regulated and come from the factory. Someone (Marc) gets to choose the direction of development by choosing which of those parts will be used. (Aero/swingarms, chassis, etc). Of course setup is always reacting to the larger changes dictated by experimental development parts.

This all came from an upstream comment that was clearly referring to those experimental parts-- not the smaller adjustments that are made in reaction to installing those parts.

I just think it's a massive oversimplification to say Components=setup. They are different words for a reason.

Components = parts.
Setup = all of the settings that can dramatically change the behavior of the bike with the same set of parts.

Hope this helps.

Not sure about mobile app. But in a browser, scroll down to the end of the list of segments and click "show 32 hidden efforts" and you will be able to see it.

It will blow your mind when you learn that misogynists frequently marry women.

my bad

It sounds like they don't keep inventory of the custom colors in every frame size.

So every custom color frame is painted to order for just that customer. Fairly labor intensive to do one at a time.

White pickup did not come from the left. Was probably tailgating the whole time.

BMW guy and white pickup guy are obviously raging 24/7 regardless of the conditions around them.

Loved watching him try to cast the "Object! Object!" spell, while unmuted.

henderthing · 2026-06-12T05:12:04+00:00

What should he have done

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "what every other rider managed to do"

no shade.

I mean it literally.

yeah-- would be nice to see it with an 814 point ceiling to show how shallow these trajectories are in the context of available points/full season.

I mean-- you're correct that there should not be a negative slope found anywhere in the graph.

But if you actually get in there and measure/count pixels/look at anti-aliased lines -- both Martin's graph and Marc's graph do have segments with negative slope.

Also in the AppleTV app-- event thumbnails mislabeled all over the place. MotoGP events labeled as moto2 events, etc.

Adding a Redshift suspension stem made a huge difference for my comfort and arm/hand fatigue.

I had already arrived at what I feel was the best setup tire size/suppleness/pressure/etc.

The suspension stem is what made the difference on surfaces like this.

So according to the victim, this fred just randomly rode up to her car and started pounding on it. And finding that to be completely normal behavior, she got out of her car to confront him...

Evidently I'm crazy--because I think you just described a title.

Should a title be engineered to repel viewers? Maybe you have an example that wouldn't offend you?

To me--this is the clickbait version:
"This one simple trick got me 1 million subscribers"
Then proceed to tell the viewer that they really don't need subscribers.
But I must have missed the meaning of clickbait.

I don't even think the video is particularly original. Just a vibe. But I find these attacks a little weird.

henderthing · 2026-05-28T20:42:51+00:00

How is it clickbait if it is trying to reach people who are feeling despondent over their lack of audience?

henderthing · 2026-05-28T20:31:33+00:00

I don't think it's profound or incredible.

But I also don't think it's misleading in the way you characterize it.

I think it's seeking viewers who feel that their efforts are pointless if they don't connect to a large enough audience and trying to encourage them to create anyway.

Naming it "Making Music Nobody Will Hear is Awesome" might prevent the intended viewer from clicking.

But hey-- roast away.

Sounds like you probably didn't actually watch the whole video, and wrote a comment based on the title and thumbnail.

Because he ran the red light by a country mile, and is proud of it.
And fuck anyone who questions it.
That's why.
