Boeingbros', saaaar, it's happening again.

Why are americans so obsessed with my country's dogshit infrastructure? It's a total crapshoot that desperately emphasizes bikes by making all other forms of transport shittier. The public transport is dogshit and road taxes are up the ass. I fucking hate living here and i fucking hate bicycles.

If steel is so great, why do the companies that make the best steel tubing in the world use carbon for their forks?

If steel is so great, why do the finest steel bikes in the world use carbon forks?

It seems to me that steel has an aesthetic value that cannot be substituted by anything else, but as a material for building bikes, its value decreases the more that is demanded of a component.

Is Allegiant a better low cost airline than Southwest, or is it just as crummy as Frontier and Spirit?

Road signs. What do you think of them? Which country does them the best? Would you change anything in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals?

Hey /n/, what strategies do you use to mitigate ass pain and skin health? I only experience deep muscular soreness on very long rides, but as I get older my skin is getting irritated more often. Painful red bumps crop up and ruin the ride. I hit them with neosporin and cover with a bandage, which works, but I want to prevent them in the first place. I always ride with a clean ass and clean undies, but now those padded cycling shorts are suddenly making more sense. I might even pick up some chamois cream even though the idea always seemed gross to me.
Anyway, how bout you? Is your ass chapped like mine? Tips from ass masters would be appreciated.

how should you store smaller items (phone, keys, etc) while riding a bike? assuming your clothes don't have secure pockets
