The tax I pay at the pump pays for road maintenance. Meanwhile, you poor fucks insist I share the road with your slow asses.
Either chip in on paying for the roads, learn to go from 0 to 40 in under five seconds, or go find a trail in the park and ride around on your glorified children's toys there.

because my taxes pay for a bunch of shit that others use, but that I don't. i don't fucking bitch about it like a child. I accept it as a necessary result of living in a goddamned society. i don't mind paying a bit if it means that others will be better off.
if you're so pissed off about having to share the road, maybe you should go live in the fucking mountains and go off the grid so you don't have to interact with the rest of us who aren't whiny children.
also, just because a few cyclists slow you down doesn't mean that we're all out there to piss people off. there are plenty of cyclists who are just trying to get where they're going, just like you are. why should they be made to own a car and turn into a faggot like you? am i not allowed the freedom to ride my bike to work?
>>683771539
Why do you faggots ride those stupid ass bikes with 3/4" thick tires? What bullshit is that? They're fragile as fuck, and just as impractical.
Get a fucking mountain bike or something, fuck. A bike you can hop over curbs with, one you can ride through a patch of grass?

It's not legal to ride on the sidewalk in some countries. Also thinner tyres = more speed. Also you are a selfish gas guzzling cunt.
>>683776538
it's illegal to ride on the sidewalks. and if you weren't confined to a mobility scooter, you'd probably be just as pissed to see cyclists riding on the sidewalks.
it is safer for everyone to ride in the road. stop being a faggot and accept that not everyone loves cock as much as you do.

Mate here in Canada it's the law to ride on the road. Sidewalks are for pedestrians only.
Seeing as most of the people live in town, we ride on 25mm tires (that's 2.5 centimeters wide for your uneducated ass). We don't hop cubs, go on grass nor need to lose speed due to 4 inch tires.
Do the world a favour, kill yourself and send your bike to the dump

I don't have issue with bike, I fucking love bikes. I just wouldn't be caught dead on some faggoty piece of overpriced shit.
In the city, yeah it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk, and understandably so. But I commute mostly through suburban and rural areas, and when I see a ack of faggots in dark spandex in the middle of a blind turn with a 45mph limit I get pissed.
Regardless, I still say mountain bikes are best because they're FAR more practical, durable, and you don't look like a complete tool riding it.
>>683777040

And you faggots weren't even born back then. It's ridiculous to ride these dinosaurs. But you fags aren't really riding. You are just biking to your bf's house to suck some dick. So walk instead.

The QR should be aligned with the fame to minimize the chance of accidental release.
Clipless pedals improve riding efficiency. It's nto about racing, its about enjoyment. Do you also mock people who type with a computer instead of a typewriter if they aren't writing books? Do you mock people that have a grand piano instead of a casio keyboard if they don't play concert halls?

Maybe... but you are grasping for straws here. I admit it is easy enough to and should be done though.
>Clipless pedals improve riding efficiency. It's nto about racing, its about enjoyment.
They are an extra inconvenience and the performance gain is not that important unless you are at the stage of trying to shave every last second off your times, what is important more than anything is getting good quality cardio.
I mock elitist pricks, and in the cycling community there are a lot of elitist pricks who think they are way better than they really are. You think once you spend a couple grand on a bike and buy some spandex with company logos you have the authority to look down on everyone else and tell them how to do things, often times just giving flat out bad advice without enough context (the seat height for example).
All I care about is seeing people apply themselves and keeping their heart rates up and enduring the pain, it doesn't matter what they are riding, as long as their personal times get better and they start feeling better. If someone wants to ride a mountain bike with knobbly tires for 20 miles a couple times a week who am I to judge? I might give them advice, but I will never speak down to someone and insult them like you just did. Again, get fucked.
Yer remember the days when clips and straps were the only option. Remember getting to 250 yards from the finish of a 108 mile road race, hammering down on a 52x13 and pulling my foot out. 8th from a lead group of 8.
