What's your daily driver? Do you run tubed or tubeless? General thoughts, experiences of tires you've ran with?

What destroyed cycling: a root cause analysis

No.1962645 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Disasters never have one root cause and neither did the destruction of cycling. But I know some important milestones in the decline and fall:

1. COVID 19. Enough said.
2. Full suspension mountain bikes. Enough said.
3. Reddit. Enough said.
4. Twitter. Enough said.
5. British "people". Enough said.
6. The d-tch. Enough said.
7. The state of Utah. Enough said.
8. Zwift, Peloton, "Spin Class", and other cancer. Enough said.

What were some other key moments?

Cyclists of the sky

These faggots should be strictly restricted to class F airspace, with well defined dimension and NEVER EVER LEFT OUT, sick and tired of avoiding them. Yesterday while flying a personal Cessna 310 from a buddy of mine and 3 weeks ago on the Dash 8 with the small airliner I fly for.

/FBG/ - Folding Bicycle General - DEBUT EDITION

No.2053967 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Folding bikes seamlessly tie in with all transportation modes as they are specifically designed to be compact, stowable and therefore easily TRANSPORTABLE. Easily carried onto trains, planes, buses, trams and other automobiles.

There've been many attempts to create the perfect folder, some designs have come very close and have remained in production for decades. The world of folders spans incredible genius tier feats of engineering to terrible examples of dangerously ill conceived death trap folly.

Post yours here, or post examples that may be of interest for their engineering genius, aesthetic charm or worthiness of ridicule.

Old thread from 2023 finally hit bump limit >>1955863

New thread. "Cycling infrastructure" is harm reduction. But not in the way you probably think. The anti-bike crowd considers riding a bicycle on public roads as an offense against the interests of motorists. An so, they wish to create infrastructure to reduce cycling (harm). Yes! Those who advocate for "separate but equal" are (whether they admit it or not) working against the interests of bicycle users:

-The American Automobile Association strongly supports bike lanes
-Countries that place responsibility on car drivers have 70-90% fewer fatalities per billion km traveled by bike. This is of course beyond the pale, drivers must always have total immunity. But hey, look, green paint! We solved safety!
-The true purpose of bike lanes is to neutralize the opposition by corrupting the discourse. Don't support bike lanes? Then you must not care about safety!
-Bike lanes have a curious pattern of appearing where they are superfluous, and vanishing as you approach potential traffic conflict zones. This way, when you get run over by a dump truck making a turn, it's your fault! You shoulda been in the bike lane that wasn't there!

In conclusion: bike lane activists hate cyclists and want to eradicate cycling as a form of transportation.
