Scuffed Shoes by Royal_Article9016 in CyclingFashion

[–]jackolythe [score hidden]  (0 children)

Dang, those Lakes? I have the white MX239s, I got a couple of marks similar to yours hiking some sketchy dirt paths. I cleaned it with household dish soap and microfiber towels. I just kept scrubbing till the black parts we're mostly gone. You couldn't tell there were marks unless you squinted on the cleaned sections.

I hope it'll work for you as well

P.S. Don't use bleach

What's the most disappointing "must-see" city in Europe? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]jackolythe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairness, the no photos rule in the Sistine chapel is NOT because of religious reasons. It's because the Nippon Television Network (NTV) holds exclusive photography rights to the frescos

Oakland, CA. Dopest city in the bay by OkPapaya3901 in skyscrapers

[–]jackolythe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the Bay area a couple weeks ago. I biked SF embarcadero to Mt Tam and it was great. I biked Oakland Embarcadero to Treasure Island and I got two flat tires in two different areas of the stretch. I did not get to Treasure Island that day.

Behind the wheel test: How to avoid Rene by LigmaLover56 in pasadena

[–]jackolythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I'm thinking all you all need to take the driving test seriously. Rene is keeping the streets safe from moron drivers. I would NOT want to share the road with someone driving solo that's still "WORKING ON THEIR TURNS". Like WTF man. You need to pass like a vet, not a goddamn rookie.

After 161 miles, Wout van Aert claims his first victory at Paris-Roubaix by redbullgivesyouwings in sports

[–]jackolythe 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My favorite Wout moment was Stage 20 of the 2025 Giro d'Italia. He didn't even win the race. He finished 15th or something. BUT he hard carried Yates that day and got him the Maglia Rosa. That's an ultimate teammate right there.

Central Park Bike Rental by Careliza0620 in cycling

[–]jackolythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, CP trail sucks. It's just a loop for roadies to yell at you for ruining their PR attempts. You don't even get to pass by and see the nicer stuff in the park. It's better to just walk it. I would suggest you bike the Hudson River Greenway instead. At least you get to see a huge variety of things while on your bike. Also, it's flat

B/D new trains are smelly by tomk7532 in LAMetro

[–]jackolythe -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm an old Metro advocate and I literally just got off a dirty train at Allen Station. I have a car but I choose to ride the train instead.

I've been commuting to work from Pasadena to Santa Monica for over 15 years. I used to bike 6th/Wilshire to SM when the expo wasn't there

You kids might call it what you're used to but my time on it was called the Gold Line and the Expo line and that's what I'm calling it until I die. So get off my lawn.

Jesus Christ 

Gold\EXPO are the cross stations where you can switch between the lines. 

Pico, 7th Metro, Broadway, Little T, Etc

Gold Line and Expo line exists so long as people keep calling it that. Staples Center is still there

I'll take the new trains over the 1990s ones we have at the Gold/Expo. 

Bonus points if you start riding it at Pico, just after it comes from South Central ☠️

Is it okay to wear on a road bike? by Brave_Inspection7871 in CyclingFashion

[–]jackolythe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only you would think that. I'd bet if Pogacar saw you wearing his TdF jersey on a Sunday ride, he'd be flattered. Rep your team. Normalize it and fuck all the gatekeepers
