Is there any way to use a mirror when riding a bike that doesn't make you look like a complete and utter total fucking tool?

go out and do some centuries

To be clear, I mean the type of excessive sweating that can even be visible on your pants. Not fat btw, pretty much the same body as in the pic hence I wonder why the fuck that is in the first place. Is that a condition thing that would get better when just doing more fitness?

Bitter, smug failed bike shop owner lectures everyone on why his entitled customers were the real problem and why you really do need a new $3k carbon road bike instead of just a chain and cables for your old steel beater.

Is riding on top end groupsets if you're not a top end cyclist stolen valor? Or is this sour grapes?

What groupset would you ride if you could get any groupset you wanted for free, but when/if you sold the bike you would have to price it as whatever groupset you ride now. That is, if your financial circumstances were no different and you were subject to the same "rules" as you currently as in terms of other people judging (because we all know unlimited wealth begets shamelessness), what do you choose?

Thinly veiled e-bike containment thread.

I bought a Tern Orox to prepare for the Australian madmax fuel apocalypse. Did I fuck up? What else should I have looked at for a cargo hauler with decent range and the ability to ride poorly maintained outback roads?

How in the fuck are they pulling this shit off? These commies are making us look like clowns! What is the reason for this?!
