So remember when I said I didn’t like unracer culture but that racer culture was highly unappealing because it’s too accepting of pepe maga subhumans and /n/ got indignant? Yeah of course not, selective memory. I suppose you will say this thread is a false flag.

Does this book teach you how to ride a bike? I thought most people learning that skill aren’t old enough to read yet. I’m confused.

trunk bags have been a thing since bicycles have existed.

nah. 300-350 tops. a big ass trunk bag still costs less than a nice tubus rack and pair of ortleibs.

because the guy who wrote the unracer book is kind of snotty and sells 4,000 steel bikes which are no better than a $600-1500 520 columbus steel bike from anyone from Raleigh to Bikesdirect to specialized to fuji.

“Unracer” exists because casuals and cyclists alike are more willing to shell out big bucks on things that increase “utility” or comfort or whatever rather than the last scheme, lightness or aero, because development on that has plateaued and now they need a new way to nickel and dime you.

i get that but it's not like you have to get a rivendell bike to have the mindset or whatever.
bike culture has a lot of dumb consumerism in it and i just don't understand what makes "unracing" worse than anything else. sorry for bad englisch i'm retarded by the way

What are you talking about anon? He's just Australian, and we should respect their cultural diversity. Preferably at a safe distance. Things in Australia are infamously unpredictable and hazardous, and that includes "sick cunts", and I don't mean Australian raw food vegans who pretend to be great endurance athletes.

As much as I enjoy the irony of anon calling people untermensh, it's really unhealthy to confuse everyday shitposting with actual humans out there. As an actual spandex wearing elitist asshole, I can easily say that it's people pretending to be elitist assholes for the sake of being assholes.

>>1396509
>>1396298
Because it's convenient for shitposting. Keep in mind that it's pretty much one cone wrench flailing around like a wet weather pave rider with no foot retention.

Close enough. Look at the schutzstaffel logo.
