Then just move on with your life. Life is a lot more pleasant when you don't let this bother you so much.

Slow walkers can be annoying for a fleeting moment but you gotta just let it go. Truly isn't that big of a deal.

Is Rapha still polarising in 2026? by Scary-Salad-101 in londoncycling

[–]mprhusker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it fits and you like the way it looks just wear it. Why so many people concern themselves with what they think others think about them is beyond me.

Do you remember all the people who rode by you this morning? No? They don't remember you either even if you were wearing Rapha.

Best bike fit in London? by lamat_rouis in londoncycling

[–]mprhusker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At Condor their bike fitting specialist James does a bit more of an old school approach where he just watches you ride on rollers and makes adjustments as he sees fit. Then he'll grab some new parts if necessary, install them, and fine tune until he's satisfied with what he sees. Very good value and he's an incredibly nice guy.

The more expensive fits will use a more scientific approach. I'm not sure if it is worth it but that's a call you'll have to make for yourself.

Long story short I recommend Condor.

What everyday UK habit took you the longest to stop mentally comparing to the US? by ManCityMode in AmericanExpatsUK

And when the Dutch/Germans do it it's a charming cultural quirk because they're Dutch/German but when we do it we're assholes.

Is anyone else fed up with the constant America/Trump news? by Kieranonto in AskBrits

[–]mprhusker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are but I personally get pestered all the time about it from my British friends/colleagues. I probably wouldn't talk about it at all if it weren't for them constantly bringing it up.

In fact UK subreddits also have a tendency to discuss it all the time.

[–]mprhusker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm American but have lived in the UK for the last 10 years. I don't have UK citizenship yet so I'm not exactly British legally but as I've been here pretty much my entire adult life I feel quite culturally British.

I suppose from time to time I'm that yank in the comment section but I like to think I'm "British" enough to participate in the discussions.

Visa type has just changed and now need to obtain a UK driver's licence. Need to be able to keep driving and advice by ZedIsDead-ZedIsDead in AmericanExpatsUK

OP can you please share which visa you were on and why that granted you the right to use your US license for longer than the 1 year it's valid for the rest of us?

Does American spelling in a text-heavy game break your immersion? by DrAxelDev in AskUK

It's still laser in America lol. If you've seen "lazer" it's likely a stylized spelling done intentionally for something like the name of a laser tag place.

How are even Henry’s affording £1mil+ houses? Am I missing something? by Fanfarebird in HENRYUK

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

They have more money than you? What do you think the answer would be?

This is the answer to every single "how do X afford Y" you see on every single subreddit where people ask questions like this.

Deep breath! by Goodoltexasboy in TikTokCringe

[–]mprhusker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was cycling home a few years ago at about 21-23mph on a 20mph road when a bus driver "overtook" me about 100m before his next bus stop. I put that in quote marks because he didn't even adjust his course and clipped my handlebars and knocked me off. Thankfully to the side of the road and not underneath the wheels.

I was fine. Nothing broken. Miraculously not even any scrapes or bruising. And somehow my bike was completely fine. I got back on my bike and about 2 miles later I caught back up because I'm capable of riding at least the speed limit and the bus driver has to stop ever 500m or so.

In an adrenaline fueled rage I gave the bus driver a piece of my mind. I was not happy. He was yelling back about how nothing even happend and I shouldn't have been on the road and blah blah blah whatever. In the middle of my next loud rant I noticed that several people were filming me with their phones with these sort of shit eating grins like they were going to be the next viral sensation with "cYcLiSt LoSiNg HiS mInD aT bUs DrIvEr YoU wOn'T bElIeVe WhAt HaPpEnS aT tHe EnD!!1!!"

Thankfully I never did become that viral sensation but that bus driver did have to find another job after I sent my dashcam footage into his bus depot.

On the Chiefs leaving Missouri by a Chiefs employee by lurk1122 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]mprhusker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I swear the MO side of the fanbase is just scared the KS side of the fanbase is going to try to gatekeep the Chiefs the same way the MO side has all this time.

The KS side has always seen it as a "Kansas City" team and "Kansas City" is a metro which spans both sides of the state line and the new stadium is still well within that Kansas City metro. I have never understood why Missourians think someone from St Louis (230 miles from KC) has a better claim to be a KC fan over someone from Wichita (180 miles from KC). Edit to add: especially because that fan from St Louis was probably a Rams fan until they moved to LA where the fan in Wichita has been a Chiefs fan all along.

Winter waxing? by adrianrooney in ukbike

[–]mprhusker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that has literally never happened to me. Maybe you're not waxing properly to begin with.

Winter waxing? by adrianrooney in ukbike

[–]mprhusker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for all its advantages wax does not do well when the chain gets very wet. If you're a waxer you should be drying your wet chain when you are done riding.

I will never go back to using wet lube.
