so a girl i asked out says she likes biking around the streets or nature, she asked me and i agreed to make it a date
the only problem is i only own a bike like pic related and dont have normal cycling clothing or normal helmets
should i take my normal equipment?
would that be autistic just for a normal ride?
should i rent a trail bike?

yeah dude it would be weird as shit to show up in that outfit. idk if she'd give a shit about the bike so long as you can keep up with her. that's why it's cool to have an old road bike or 90s mtb w/slix to fart around town on

ride your normal bike, just wear shorts and a shirt instead of your DH gear. Borrow a helmet from a friend or just don't wear one.

Also it's a girl you could keep up with her on adult bmx I don't think having too much mtb is a problem

oh and a zefal normie helmet is $22 at walmart you can just buy that and use it if you think she'll think you are unsafe or a jerk for not having a helmet (don't wear full face no matter what)

the most important thing about bikedates are to go at her pace. you don't want to seem like a Japanese officer in a WW2 POW movie slavedrivin'.

The embarassing thing is when the 1/20 of those bike dates are faster than you. then it's a bit humbling.

take your normal stuff. always present what is you, especially on a first date. you can over-pressurize the suspension to set the sag higher for a trail ride but its still going to be AIDS going uphill. just tell her 'i only ride park mostly, but let's ride. tell you what. we'll play fox hunt. you go and i'll see if i can catch you! it'll be fun!'

this one sounds good
i think i wouldnt catch up her pace because she is skinny and looks fit so im guessing she already rides and has good cardio meanwhile this fucking bike cant ride uphill nor do i so i will go with that one

Jesus dude you gotta quit worrying about what she thinks is ok. Its she that needs to impress you.
Explain 1 time that this is your only bike but you are keen to see the city through her perspective.
Make her seem like the leader of the expedition for the first little bit then take over.
Dont wear any helmet at all unless you live in some nazi hellhole where you will get a ticket.
Put street pedals on your bike so you can wear normal shoes and a normal outfit.

No, your bike will be slower than hers but you're probably stronger than her so you'll make up for it

Look, kid. I don't know who you are or what kind of riding you do, but I'm not one to back away from a challenge -- or from danger. You see those professional freeriders hucking backies off 30 foot cliffs on gravity rigs? Yeah, I'm one of those guys. Or the guys riding 100kph in a peloton only centimeters away from other riders, where the slightest mishap would send them flying onto the pavement -- or worse, off the cliff that the road is running alongside? Yeah, I'm one of those guys too. I'm a 3-time downhill world champion and a 5-time Tour De France winner. I also have the 3rd lowest time ever recorded in the Race Across America, the most difficult endurance sport event in world history. Then you little BMX punk kids and fixie hipster faggots come and tell me that I am afraid to take risks? No, fuck that and fuck you. I'm not afraid to take risks, I'm just not an idiot. I'm all for adventure and risk, but there is literally no reason to ride without a helmet or without brakes, ever, under any circumstances (aside from riding brakeless in a velodrome). I hope you get run over by a death cage and die, kiddo.

Pump up the tires a little more and call it a day.
You are probably way stronger than her, so you can make up for your slower bike.

Not worth the tread, unless she's a 10/10. Then take her and make a big laugh about how your bike isn't meant for roads.

That was the only time I let someone else ride my bike so I can try hers and her setup was so wonky it triggered my autism and noped her. Like her headset bearings and chain tension was tighter than her pussy

Jeeeezus fucking Christ you autist.

It's a date, it's something to keep conversation going while doing something so there is no awkward moments.

Ride your fuck mobile while wearing any old shorts, t-shirt and sneakers and for god's sake don't talk about your bicycle.
