Stop being a NEET, get a job, then maybe you can have a 'fancy ride' of your own?

This dude is cool. I agree with the sentiment

But riding without full kit is just dumb, he looks like an idiot who doesn't understand aero gains. Skin has many small holes called pores that create aero drag you see. But with Lycra there is a smooth surface that increases speed watt hours by almost 3% at speeds above 25 mph

you asume too much.
i work my ass off, have a wife (who has a bike), 2 kids 15 and 12 (2 more bikes), a nice house of my own and a car. and a simple but faithful raleigh mojave that i use to ride, tour, commute, shop, etc.

but were i live (the same country of the guy on the vid) economy is fucked beyond your understanding, and even working weekends it's not paying enough these days.
not enough to buy fancy shit, nor to get more free time to ride.

so i was venting some rage, you know, some healthy envy from fancy rides but also for the freedom the guy in the video is enjoying.

i've thought about it but that's only short term profit. exploiting her myself sounds like the way to go. don't know if the market's ready, though.

He's right in that lycra does increase the aerodynamics of the rider, and that the rider is the main drag factor of a bike. However, the 'pore' thing is complete garbage. If it ain't flapping it ain't pulling

False, you hipster. Pores create massive drag, that's why we shave and balm our legs and arms before rides. I am a Cat 4 rider with ten years of experience. I have done 25mph sustained on a beach cruiser in NYC with my kit on + full shave/balm

you're saying that like its an achievement, I could do that on a bikeshare bike without looking like a lycrafag and shaved legs

Holy crap. Doing the Andes on a fixed speed shitter like that... I start getting worried when I can't maintain 30 km/h up a small slope.

Thanks for putting things in perspective provertfag.

Shaved hands are faster than even the fastest aero gloves. Full sleeve skinsuits are still often faster than short sleeves because the sleeves can be optimised for aero unlike your arms.

By pores did you mean hairs? Because they would actually cause drag.

That's pretty fuckin dope. As someone who gets way too into planning things and wanting all preparation to be perfect, I have a lot of admiration for people who just go do shit.

It's perfectly possible to ride a 6 month tour on a thrift store bike. I've done it. Would I do it again? No. If you're going to live on your bike for 6 months it's worth the investment. Should you not do it if you cant afford a nice bike? Also no. Get out there on whatever you can find.

You sleep in the woods. And you save money before hand. Money goes a long way when you are basically a hobo. I went 6 months on $3000 and that's in the US. Money stretches a lot further in other countries.
