Sometimes, I prefer the wide roadways over the useless "public space" that's just vacant lawn or paving or something, which have no real use apart from (by implication) people sitting there or something.

>>2054108 Unless it's specifically designated as a park or somesuch, most of these "public spaces" are just mothballed for future development. In Waco they tore down some commercial development the university owned (a few restaurants, a hybrid strip mall/apartment complex, and a motel) for "public space" then developed a huge new building on it a decade or so later.

obviously you need to use the heaviest nastiest blackest grease you can find, preferably one that already has sand in it. that's how i've found every bike i've ever bought or encountered
in reality i just use vaseline on the chain and wd-40 or a similar liquid penetrating oil on everything else, but every used bike i've ever bought and every bike any of my friends own are fucking covered in that black grease they dont even use on cars anymore

I currently have a very basic one that came with the bike (pic rel). It's at proper height so I get zero pressure on the perineum, but if the terrain doesn't require me to get up every couple of mins, I quickly get sore sit bones. I wanna do some touring (min 50 km daily) so that won't do. So, I measured them bones and set about finding a new one.

Saddles are black magic. The best one for you could be $30 or $300 and there’s no way of knowing what’s what until you’ve tried lots of them.

What you've just told me now is that you don't ride and you look at bike infrastructure the way a real estate broker would look at it. And there's nothing wrong with that, we all have to eat, but you belong on /biz/ not /n/ where we understand: John Forester did nothing wrong

>>2054425 in my city cyclists are Like This and it's because all the bike paths are only like three blocks long and go nowhere. Everyone is convinced it was 100% done to market the city as "Eco" to businesses looking to move, and not to actually alleviate traffic.
Same for roundabouts. They just put them in random places because memes.

I looked at a site selling used kierin bikes once because I know sometimes riders are other races other than Japanese but there was still nothing in my size. a few were pretty big but I don't really want one I just think they're neat. there's a velodrome here but I don't think I'll ever actually race it

>>2055153 they make "ebikes" that are basically just electric motorcycles/scooters with pedals. usually they're more like picrel but a local place near me has one that's styled like a knockoff Ninja but just has goofy ass little bike pedals poking out. if you want something more motorbike styled, the more common "not a bike or gay scooter" styling is to make it look vaguely like a dirtbike.
