i always wondered about those urine-caps of harley riders - are those things street legal? I am always amused that you would never see harley riders with a full helmet - I think those okes would rather die, literally!

shots fired, and friday nogal

and then you went and ruined it!

hopefully on a tricked out piece of carbon!

c19 has given us an opportunity to reevaluate what is important. i have family in the usa who for years have stared down their noses at us savages living in our savage country, but today i watch that country eat itself alive. the rampant materialistic and consumerist culture that america has thrust upon the world has been laid bare and its killing them. yes, we need to provide for ourselves and families, but do we really need to define ourselves by accumulating wealth defined by possessions and conspicuous consumption? for me c19 has forced a rethink on many of these things, especially the hamster wheel that serves the billionaire class and few others. if you can make a living with a rewarding and fulfilling skill like carpentry or at least have it as a part of your life , you are richer than most. dont judge yourself by hollow and vacuous standards - those people are miserable ***** (Danish king)

This discussion has nothing to do with inconsiderate road use, nor does it relate to what other road users think about cyclists. Click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

this is hectic. are there any more details? time? location - where in the park? were there any other people around?

could not agree with you more. at the same time, when a few people have had the temerity to say that it is possible to be safe (for ALL concerned) and also not wear a mask (nothing more - there was no obtuse Trumpian, I AINT GONNA WEAR A MASK BECAUSE...FREEDOM BS), they had scorn, derision and judgement rained down on them. maybe ask the baying mob rather than the few sentient dissenters

the debate will rage on by those ignoring the science. as for proximity, the directives are clear - maintain social distancing, and you can do this by refraining from exercising in groups AND THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO BE SAFE. simple as. the mask diehards will, however, continue to bang on the drum of "jaa, but WHAT IF ..." and then manufacture all these ridiculous hypothetical unlikely scenarios" to justify their dogmatic view about how much more better they are and how much worse non-mask wearers are

TOP. jrrrr, 40 pages of judgement and righteous indignation! (with a few notable exceptions)

tip top analogy. and don't forget the betsy/betties!

so I wonder what now? its a mission to go all the way to find it closed - is there any number that can be called on this?

they're normally alone

I dunno, that's a whole bunch of allright

trolling much?

can you imagine her watching star wars with her kids, everything super duper, the force this, the force that, and then that pesky gold robot comes mincing into the frame: ACK ACK ACK TRIGGGGGEERRRED!!!

at the time I thought it was absolutely deserved that he was stripped of the titles. The problem is that he made it so damn hard to NOT want his head on a plate - he was such a P#ES through the whole thing, and paid very dearly. But the fact is he rode those tours, and he won them, up the gills in whatwhats, but he still rode them with the entire glow-in-the-dark peloton. Seems unfair now

that is properly beautiful - where is this?

At the time I was also part of the baying mob calling for his public execution with the rest of the justifiably outraged public, but over the years observing him from afar with stuff like the MOVES podcast and seeing some of his interviews, I am less attached to those views. I enjoy how self-deprecating and reflective he has become around the doping stuff, and he has really interesting insights and commentary on cycling. Was he a complete box? Oh hell yes. Has he REALLY learnt from the experience? I think it would be impossible not to have. Is he still a box? Who am I to judge? What I don't get is people like Betsy Andreu and her relentless and (IMHO) ridiculous crusade. Imagine being that utterly consumed by bitterness and the need for some sort of pound of flesh, even after all these years? What does she actually want? That kind of negativity eats you out until there is nothing left

yup - can confirm. The better way

Tapping Hub hive knowledge here - I am actually quite stumped on this, and would be grateful for direction. If you were to buy an MTB or lets say MTB-type bike for short distance commuter use (tops 3km - 5km per day), and by that i mean a bicycle with a front fork suspension only, knobbly tyres (26' is FINE) that are at or around 2.0 width, working gears (ie NOT a single gear dikwiel commuter) And then come what may for the rest, ie V/rim brakes, but ideally discs, even if mechanical, etc etc BUT, you also want to avoid the typical sh1te from GAME, Makro etc AND you only want to spend R2K-R3K max Where would you go? (add to this that you want to minimize ball-ache in sourcing) OLX, Gumtree? Bike specific sites? Cheap retail bikes, because they are still OK and fit for the described purpose? LBS back of warehouse abandoned 26ers? Stupid question, and don't waste our time?

ex good mate

"summer" there, fixed it!

don't stress, just do as the song says.... the original social distancing song

i hope so too, and maybe, just maybe we can start developing a more cycling friendly culture.
