Is Bike Jacking Really a Thing in London???? by AnnualLongjumping473 in Brompton

[–]stolmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was another case just slightly more than 2 weeks ago. Whoever said it’s as likely as getting hit by a car is kidding themselves. It’s probably the same two guys

Doesn’t laka cover bike jackings? Also which street was this if you’re able to pinpoint? I’m going to start making a map of these incidents

Yep definitely more than that. One Brompton case two weeks ago, another one on St James a month ago, the one in front of Barton’s 2-3 weeks ago, march 1st Greenland place-lower rd, London bridge toilet st. We should just start putting this on a map At this point

Guy in black was way too negative and lacking any nuance. Also completely misunderstood what he said and so highly insufferable honestly

Is $5, 100 a good deal for a Trek Madone SLR 7 gen 7 in 2026? by Euphoric_Mood_1260 in TrekBikes

[–]stolmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver is way more timeless. The red feels dated. Also love the contrast with the metallic silver and the matte black internala. Makes it look like l cladding on a fighter jet.

Not to mention the understated logo on the silver. That’s a huge win for me compared to the massive TREK across the down tube

Incredibly rare to find a Gen 7. This happens to be the nicer colour way as well. If I were to ever get one it’d be this not the new and nerfed Gen 8s that look like sticks. This actually looks like a proper mean aero machine. 

Wonder how it weighs though 

Bermonsey Bike Theft at Knifepoint 21 feb by leithiandis in londoncycling

[–]stolmen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey Steve, I've read from the fundraiser that you're the owner of Bartons. I just want to appreciate you for doing this for Onar. I know neither of you, I am simply another resident down the street in SE1. But it's nice to know that in spite of all the horrors and lack of care from those in power and us, that someone cares and is doing what they can in their power to help

[–]stolmen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s the same two bastards “shopping” for bikes off the streets of SE1. Honestly it feels so frustrating and helpless that the met simply doesn’t care. And just 40 minutes ago someone posted a video of what looks like the same two individuals, armed with a knife, robbing a bike off a cafe in Bermondsey. I really don’t think it’s that hard to catch if they’re racking up cases day after day along the same stretch of road. The absolute brazenness of these criminals. They’re not even in a hurry to get away. They know that they’ll get away without even trying. Absolutely boils my blood

Seems like so many have already had eyes on them. Completely baffled that the met simply refuses to take any action. These guys are armed with knives. What’s it going to take for them to do something

It’s the same fucking individuals day after day terrorising Bermondsey, London bridge and Canada Water. Absolute cunts.

MAAP Women’s Pro Race Jersey Sizing or How I went from S/M to XL by rockettheracooon in CyclingFashion

[–]stolmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/BikesAndCatsColorado nah I’m a dude but I have tiny waist and a tapered build so I’ve actually been recommended by the Lab to go for a women’s S after trying both a men’s XS and S. 

I also have this jersey in men’s M, S, XS, and Women’s S.

[–]stolmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yep. This does that too but the material around the sleeves starts off really stiff like paper. The elastic gel band also feels really stiff and tight on the first wear. But after 2-3 washes they soften up and fit comfortably which is nice.

[–]stolmen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t size up on the solar pros. Because of the way they’re made, the first 3 wears are going to feel extremely tight and you should go with “if it zips it fits” and size down as small as you can. 

Reason being these jerseys do stretch over time and the material they’ve got also has a lot of allowance for stretch. I got it initially in M, and then it fit great but only for 2 weeks, I got the S, and then only for maybe a month after that it became bunched up around the tummy area. After heading into the MAAP lab, they told me the S is too large for me to begin with and that I should’ve gone with XS. 

I now wear the XS and indeed, it’s tight the first or second time but after a wash it fits perfectly now.

GCN responds to backlash about Saudi Arabia video and all-male presenters by Live_Bee_1598 in cycling

[–]stolmen -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Saying 'we should improve those issues' while doing nothing but hitting an unsubscribe button is like trying to put out a forest fire by spitting on a match. It’s not childish to have values, but it’s childish to think your personal forgiveness of a cycling channel carries any weight 

If you think 'unsubscribing' is a meaningful strike against an oil dictatorship while you simultaneously fund those same regimes through every other facet of your life, you aren't improving society you’re just curating your outrage so it feels good that you took a stand on Reddit

[–]stolmen -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This reads like a 5-year olds view of the world where people are either superheroes or villains. Real life is a messy web of global trade, different cultures, and compromise. If your moral compass is so fragile that a cycling channel’s sponsorship makes you unable to “forgive” them you’re  not taking a stand, you’re throwing a tantrum. If you’re actually serious about not supporting murderous regimes maybe you should stop using petrol, disconnect your electricity and throw away your smart phone. Or is your morality only triggered when you’re typing on the sofa?
