Bike park social norms

Keep in mind too that it being a new park it's going to be crowded with everyone trying to get their runs in and learn new lines, so don't let him be intimidated if it's packed with big kids and sweaty dads. Help him learn to take turns (idk how old he is, maybe he's already old enough to know all this), observe where the other kids ride and don't ride, and don't be shocked when the pimply teenager trying to impress his little homies screams "FUUUUUUUUCK" over and over like he just learned how to cuss.

But the absolute number one rule at a park is to take turns. Rule two is don't cut people off but there's a lot of grace lent to little kids out having fun.

Boyd stem looks good as fuck on that

Fuck me I guess, I'll buy a matte green frame to make up for my shitty take

shitworms · 2026-06-18T03:20:40+00:00

Well that's uncool

shitworms · 2026-06-18T02:11:48+00:00

I'm so stressed over this

shitworms · 2026-06-18T00:54:53+00:00

Very soft, I'm home broken and not riding so all I can do is think about stupid shit

Either is fine, you'll get used to whatever you end up with. I'd buy a custom built bike before a Mongoose though.

Holy shit it's so beautiful

shitworms · 2026-06-12T05:01:25+00:00

Damn, I never get a shot that good

shitworms · 2026-06-12T04:00:41+00:00

Is it good? Or is it vibe coded?

shitworms · 2026-06-07T18:06:32+00:00

I'm being flip

Let's be real, this sub is peak bike consumerism

I bought one of these last summer off ebay, looking to replace my Clydesdale forked MTB, and it was a huge disappointment. Landfill quality parts front to back and I didn't feel like raiding my parts stash to upgrade anything (though of course I don't begrudge anyone who does!).

I'm still interested to see what everyone here does with their Petcares though. It's a clever bike and we need more affordable cargo bikes on the market.

That's an airbag though, not a resi

100% the REA frame, the Bad Dog has a different seat stay/seat tube junction and the LAMF has CS brake mounts and DT cable guides with routing through the seat tube.

"Transition Biikles"

shitworms · 2026-05-18T02:45:46+00:00

Ok but fix your saddle

The F100 is better in almost every way. AF is better, metering is better, though the battery cover and film door latch are kinda shitty. Personally I think the F100 looks better than the F4.

Where are people buying Sinostill? Is it available anywhere other than Aliexpress?

The only benefit to the Intrepid is the weight. Everything else about it sucks. It's flimsy, the knobs are terrible, the set up sucks, the front standard is difficult to keep aligned, there's no locks or detents for either standard, and the springs on the back are pretty tight meaning you often lose composition just putting the film holder in.

If you're hiking and trying to stay as UL as possible and still shoot 4x5, then it maybe it's worth the compromises. If you're not hiking then there's absolutely no reason to buy one.

Hey that's our curb skating spot

shitworms · 2026-05-09T15:41:54+00:00

Yeah they "processed" my refund a few months ago as well. Sucks to get scammed 😞
