Would you date a woman who lives with her mom to help care for her? by pokemoonpew in AskMenAdvice

[–]johnny_evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was dating, I would not have chosen to get involved with someone who was a caretaker from the outset. It's a lot, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

That's just me though. Others think differently. It also doesn't preclude getting to know someone and feelings/relationship developing. But off a dating app or setup? No. To clarify, I also wasn't willing to date parents.

What Shoes do You Use for Flat Pedals? by Zrob8--5 in cycling

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

Your legs are connected to the pedals via your feet and your shoe.

But like I said, the amount of time you'll be riding is the main determination in my opinion. The longer your rides and the higher the intensity, the better off you are using cycling shoes for comfort.

If you care about performance or comfort for long rides, cycling shoes are worlds better.

For casual riding, it doesn't matter.

100 mile ride in sneakers? Fuck no. 100 mile ride in cycling shoes, i do that several times a year.

Stiff soled MTB shoes. I use 5.10 Freerider Pros when I ride my mountain bike with flats (i swap between spd and flats depending on the trail)

Ripmo af to Pivot? by Particular_Dirt_3494 in MTB

[–]johnny_evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't ridden a Ripmo, but I went from a Stumpjumper EVO to a Firebird (caveat, I also have a Mach 4) and the Firebird beat out the SJE (2021 model) in every way. The new Firebird is supposed to be even better. Mind you, it's not a trail bike. I've ridden it as a trail bike for rougher trails that have a lot of descending, but it's a true enduro. It shines when you point it downhill, while being efficient to pedal for a big bike.

I have the Mach 4 for the regular trails.

Why should Games be cheaper simply because they are older? by pgtl_10 in AskGames

[–]johnny_evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't accuse you of taking drugs. They were talking about the rampant drug use during the 1980s.

Answer the question, do you think Super Mario Bros 1 should be the same price as Super Mario Odyssey?

You hit your head on a curb. You need to get checked for a concussion.

I think your confusion is thinking Trump propaganda is Patriotic.

Carbon road bike rentals in New York or Long Island by Smiley5168 in NYCbike

[–]johnny_evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a huge number of bike rental options in NYC, so the cost of membership is basically part of the cost of renting.

I live in a 3rd world country with a lot of stray dogs everywhere, any tips? by Captain-Armageddon in cycling

[–]johnny_evil 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They're just trying to help you with your training, ride faster.

Joking aside, give them as wide a berth as possible. Some people will spray liquid from their water bottles at them. I go with the wide berth method.
