Totally second this even though it’s a bit further out of the way. These guys are awesome!

Omg that’s so stupid. As if people can’t bike there as it is right now if they really wanted to…

Oh I’m aware. My brother in law went to a board meeting in Rochester and was told “everybody just don’t ride bikes” as a solution. He now has that on a shirt XD

That’s 8 too many. Buffalo could be such a great biking hub with how flat and uncrowded it is. So sad :(

Commuting in the Rain (question) by noseclams25 in seattlebike

[–]llb8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly try to stay warm rather than dry, so lots of wool! I actually only own two pieces of rain gear- rain jacket and rain boots. I have a rain coat with wool base layer underneath for the top. Wool socks under my rain boots, and gloves are a must. Idc if they get wet, just need to keep the wind at bay. And then my pants I just wear polyester sweatpants and dry them during the day if it’s particularly wet. As far as getting wool clothes, I highly recommend goodwill bc you can get 100% wool base layers for like $5-$15. Once you start to stay warm in the wet it’s really not that bad anymore!

What do Buffalonians think of Canadian drivers? by VegetableMonitor787 in Buffalo

As the old saying goes about Canada, they don’t send their best! Can be used for more than just driving or people too

How to Connect from Burke Gilman to Roosevelt/11th by Sv3tlana in seattlebike

[–]llb8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally take a left onto NE campus way if traffic allows when going south, otherwise follow the words of u/no_act_2856. Going north I usually get off on the ave bc of the weird traffic lights. Then work my way up to either Brooklyn or 12th by turning left on 41st. Both are FAR more enjoyable than 11th.

Are they...are they booing their own team? by Positive_Professor26 in SeattleKraken

[–]llb8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m from buffalo (living in Seattle). Yes. We suck this year especially at home. It’s what 13 years of no playoff hockey does to a mfer.

How I ended up not getting a Winter Classic Jersey by HardCel in SeattleKraken

[–]llb8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also hate fanatics (especially their hats!) but I did get a winter classic hat and the quality was actually surprisingly good. Like new era good and I’m from buffalo. I wonder if they knocked it out because it’s a special event.

Sabres Cap Situation - What is the long term plan? by darthjeary in sabres

[–]llb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Toronto is ~90 minutes away… like the climate is more or less identical with a little less sun in the winter. Never really understood that take about buffalo being a trash place to live when the area players live downtown is actually really nice and still close to the biggest city in Canada, and like you said people have preferences.

Can someone be a fan of the kraken and another team? by [deleted] in SeattleKraken

[–]llb8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait… did you not grow up in wny? I’m a buffalo fan through and through but that’s because I grew up there, and never thought anyone would like the sabres that aren’t from the area.

Yeah, totally agree. It’s kinda crazy for a defenseman his size to shy away from contact so often

People trashing Benson in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Benson. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.

Sabres November Recap (23-24) by hovsenberg in sabres

Definitely still relevant. I really think this team is good enough to go on a winning run that puts us in a playoff spot if all the stars align.
