No mtn biking for you?
I used to have one but had to sell it. I live right near a great 10 mile trail with lots of rock and features but I do not jump lol
>>752034210
Your mum
>>752035304
I don't jump either (last time I tried I broke my collarbone).
If I had the money I'd buy a hard tail just like that.
I had one but it was stolen.

A 1947 Swedish military bike. About 28 kg of solid steel. One gear, massive drum brake that kinda works (it's more of a dream and prayer) , balloon tires and oh boy if she doesn't roll down hill like a rocket.
My personal record is 67 km/h down the main hill in town.
Pic related but not mine, identical though apart from the tires.
Bought for about 250 kr ( around 20 dollars) when the military sold them off back in 2004 or something.
>>752035839
I like it.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I assume you're not from america but in the states, I think people who ride bikes that aren't in athletic clothes are viewed as people who are too poor to be able to afford a car. And from other countries, people who ride bikes are viewed as tree huggers. Am I right about this?
I call her "the bitch". Heavy and slow but comfy and reliable.
Also very good for getting groceries, not very good for Tour the France.
>>752036904
In Scandinavia people view the bike as they view the car, a mode of transport.
Any given day you'll see thousands of people riding to work, shopping etc on their bikes.
My boss rides to work on a single speed cyclo cross for example.
The idea of taking your car for short trips is kinda looked down upon here.
Owning a car isn't a status thing here either.
>>752036945
That's fucking nice.

>have old trusty steed called Pegasus

fuck bike thieves.
An electric one, converted a donor Raleigh with a bufang bbso2 conversion kit, 1000 watts gets me up to 30 on a flat no effort whatsoever, no insurance and no emissions. I'd post pics but I'm currently out of town so I don't have it with me
>>752036904
>people who ride bikes are viewed as tree huggers.
Nah that's the Prius drivers, bikers are viewed as the strange people. Every single time when I roll into the office with my bike, especially in winter when it's far below freezing and tons of snow people kinda look at you like "why the fuck didn't you take the bus?" and they often ask as well.
My answer is simple, I like riding. No matter what weather.
And I'm not alone.
>>752036904
nah, there are plenty good reasons to take a bike over a car outside of being poor or a treehugger.
the traffic in bigger cities is disgusting. last job I had was close enough to take the bike and it was by far my favourite commute ever.
>>752037907
I go to my local taco shop on Saturday mornings about 7 and there's a group of cyclist there drinking beer, thought fuck I need to join these guys
>>752037907
Same here, everybody rides. Rich and poor. Swear, half my office rides to work. There is more bikes in the garage than cars.

You guys are awesome, I always like expanding my horizons. I like to be an American who realizes the world doesn't revolve around the states. Cheers folks!
>>752038170
Do it, I have a commuter group I meet every Sunday night at our local pub. Have a few brews then we ride a bit and talk shit.
2000 Kona bear. Beaten it up a ver the years.
>>752037907
this right here.
fuck the bus. why would I wait for ages, then cram myself into a bus full of people if I can just get on my bike and ride home?

road bikes are kinda scary to me, we don't have bike lanes in Texas and I don't wanna be in rekt thread
>>752038390
Good to hear mate.
I couldn't imagine living without my bike.
Used to drive everywhere like the lazy fuck I was.
Started riding 8 years ago and never looked back. Health is miles better, my wallet is happy and I'm happy.
It's very soothing to hear the humming of tires in the early morning when you join a group of riders.
>>752038582
Yep, bus = Ebola express.
Nah thanks, I rather ride.
I might be tired after a day at work but getting on my bike is always nice. Helps me relax.
Especially when you see your co-workers stuck in traffic in their cars and you just fly by.
Just got a Giant Roam hybrid...because I'm not a real biker
>>752038836
>we don't have bike lanes in Texas
depends where you are in Texas
>>752038836
Find a mtb crew then and get dirty. Shit is fun.

>>752039012
>Find a mtb crew
why do they all seem like giant edgy faggots?
>>752039000
rural area, tractors and old blind men in pickups that only drive on the shoulder
>>752039012
been looking for a good mountain bike
>>752039153
Uh, huh?
Maybe an American thing because the mtb riders here in Europe are chill. It's the roadies that everyone dislikes here. The so called "elite squads".
>>752036904
yes you are absolutely right
out of the hundreds of countries this world has
those 2 are the only possible scenarios about people who ride bikes
please kill yourself
>>752039276
>It's the roadies that everyone dislikes
those guys are douchebags as well, but yeah, it seems like the mtb guys here are the equivalent
>>752034210
Same, but red.
I remember getting my first paycheck when I was 18. Did I get a driving license? No. Car? No.
I basically ran to the bike shop, got my self a brand new, shiny 1990 Team Marin Classic. It cost me like 1200 bucks with all the extra toys I got.
No regrets, was shredding the road to work, the woods around town and the hills nearby.
>pic related, identical bike
I actually posted it in the pyb thread, but, what the hell.
>>752035839
>when the military sold them off

i used to take the bus at 6:30, and it was always empty. now i have to take it at 6 and it's always full so I take the bike through the back alleys of a semi-abandoned industrial district and it rules.

>>752042274
He already stated that downhill is his thing, and he also has an enduro bike despite it being for pussies... and it has a pussy gear ratio, even for enduro.
In other words, he only likes going down hills and has no legs. Try reading from the beginning.

>bike
1. It's not a "bike", it's a bicycle.
2. The term "bike" started being misapplied to bicycles in the 1970's when the Big Wheel was first introduced by Louis Marx and Company, and was prominent on their advertisements. This was a plastic toy ride-one for children who wanted to pretend they were riding an actual "bike" (motorcycle), which was more frequently called "bike" than "motorcycle" because it was a bicycle that was motorized and the "cycle" part made no sense, just as it makes no sense to now refer to an actual "bicycle" (which you cycle, i.e., peddle in a circle) as "bike"
2. Bicycles are for fags. They are a menace to every major city that they are in. True enough, most bike (motorcyclists) are fucking jackasses, ride like assholes, and are doing no more than posing on their low-budge ride because to attract chicks because they are too poorfag to afford an actual car.
tl;dr
Bikes are motorcycles, not bicycles, and bicycles are for fags.
>>752034210
Titanium and carbon fiber Javelin Boca that I built myself.
>>752042486
the original older bromptons are bulletproof, i bought two in the early 2000's when i found them on clearance (700$ new), one i use when i am servicing my mountain bikes and the other is done up in vaseline like a fuckin gun. ebay says 3500euros and the new ones are crap chinese made
>>752042486
Does that fold up?
>>752042922
looks like the pedals go below ground level.
>>752042611
I've bought this bike about 6 months ago and i've been already involved in about 10 accidents, in most of them i was pretty sure i'll have some broken limbs, but for some reason no. This bike is cursed, but it's cheap and fast way to get to work also xD
