How many people on GLP use bicycle as transportation?

I fucking knew it. You're a communist.


Ok, I got better things to do.

Have a good night.

You too.

I bike when the weather suites me. I stay away from cars and don't ever get in the way or hold anybody up.
No matter what though, sombody will inevitably try to run me down. Happens on every excurtion...

I was adrenaline junkie before. Raced cars/motorcycles and skydived. Life is dangerous. I trust God with protection. I pray every time I go anywhere.

Plus I ride my bicycle without breaks.

1500 Watt Giant Blue Iguana 9 speed.

I did a header no more than two nights ago. Landed directly on my cheek and shoulder, knee's and toes. Minus that last part. Fucking hurt today, feel weakened, even more so than yesterday. It does something to your pride having taken a fall. Best to remain in humility, otherwise you get humbled.

I'm looking to replace my bike.
Haven't really looked around yet, though.

What do you recommend for combined trail/street rides?

You cut your brakelines like that bike messenger flik.....,

Just anything you can get from Craigslist. Don't buy cheap shit from walmart, those bikes are trash. And you need to find a frame that fits you, there are different kinds. Bike should fit you like a glove, or you are not going to enjoy it and it's going to be painful. Buy the bike you like. Try it first, see how it feels and how it fits you. Watch youtube videos about bicycle fitment. I hope ill see you on the streets one day. And learn how to fix everything yourself. Just get a bicycle and keep biking. I wish someone told me to buy a bicycle when I was 18.

I have a fixed gear bicycle, you break with your legs. First bicycles were fixed gear, like mine. Leo Tolstoy was riding his fixed gear bike around Russia. Its simple and fun at the same time.

Its a back up for me but i honestly think it should be a way of life and then i finish fixing my car and vroom back into a life of convenience that kills me.

You want to be stuck in traffic again? Being in a car is the most depressing thing in the world. Even with music. When you are stuck in traffic, look at people around you. Do they seem happy to you?

old school here ,when I go for trips I'm able to walk 20 km a day.Much more relaxing when temperature is ok.I went for bicycle trip 80 km long.It was during the summer.I returned with heat burns.I don't like bicycles at all.

That's why enjoy winter. Human body overheats, just like an engine. At summer, I always bring big amount of water with me. I enjoy cold weather, maybe loving cold is in my dna. Hot temperature melts my brain. Bicycles are not for everyone, people should at least walk. Walking is so much fun, plus people need to take breaks from cellphones, I quit using that shit years ago. You can see people on my video, almost everyone is looking in their small idols. People are not seeing life around them, because of "smart" phones.

Good job. Everyone thinks that having a car is a good thing. Most cars have 4+ seats inside and I see only one person inside. Such a waste of recourses. Nobody really cares about it, and they are blind to see. "smart" phones are for retards, for people who are not able to talk or express themselves without a phone. Kids are getting all their info from internet, not their parents. I bike all the time and I don't see people having fun outside anymore. Even in parks on a nice day there are barely anyone enjoying the nature. It's a technology worshiping generation. It's hard for me to talk to those kinds of people, and they think Im crazy for not having a phone.

I've got a Specialized now, rear rack, Orlieb panniers on demand (they are so sweet).

A buy a few gallons of gas per year for my lawnmower.

"Where's my damn charger?" is something I have never said or thought.


You are crazy, OP. Feels good, don't it?

NO. 4WD pickup truck. Hell yes

To each his own.

Here is a guy I met few years ago. Fewer things you have, fewer things you have to worry about. I loved cars before, and I had older cars, because I want to fix my own things. New cars have too much electronics in them, one big explosion on sun and all electronics is fried. Most people don't know how to change oil or breaks on their cars. I know everything about car and motorcycle engines, and all my cars were stick shift. New cars are no fun and no soul.

The video - his enthusiasm is contagious. I'm more local, I do what he does by spending time on the dot com site: crazyguyonabike.

Ran into this today, a guy having fun on his bicycle. Impressive!

New video biking. People sit home and don't drive your shitty boxes on wheels. Look how quiet and nice without you being on the road.
