Judging from that video it looks like the best place to ride. To be able to fuck with drivers like that and have inclines would make me pick up the sport again.

if you think biking in SF is nice, try biking in the nederlands. best. it and single-trailing in switzerland are pretty much the best bike experiences i've had.

I got my christmas present already.

I got it for $675, he said he bought it last year for $1550...

It's a Trek Fuel EX 5.5.




I can't wait to rip some shit up. I went mountain biking in Moab w/ a full suspension last year for the first time actually mountain biking, ever since I've been dying for a mountain bike.

edit: nice Mamba wanderlust!! A mamba was my first bike!

SpankyMcLankey

thanks man, it feels so good to get on a bike again.

SmokeSomeDoja

injured my foot/ankle last month and still not healed. cant wait to start riding again!

well i kinda thought maybe I knew what it meant but I wanted to be sure.

Sorry but those guys ride like douches...they are jeopardizing so many people... sorry bikes have to obey the same traffic laws as a car... but a bicyclist will be the first to bitch about assholes in cars... and this is coming from an avid cyclist

not in my town.

people let bikes go through stop signs, etc.. there's a lot of people on bikes these days.

SmokeSomeDoja

bicycles are life machines.

automobiles are death machines. - you dont get any exercise from driving a car, you emit pollution, and there are really no redeeming qualities about a car. its always an excuse...."i need to drive a car b/c my works so far away," "im not going to take a bus," blah blah blah.




who are they jeopardizing? the dudes in the video are pretty talented riders...professiona l riders.



technically, they do...realistically, they dont. are you trying to tell me you are going to come to a complete stop, take your feet out of the cages, then start up 2 seconds later at a stop sign? -- when i come to a stop, i check both ways, and proceed...if i see a car, ill make myself obvious that im going, or if they dont see me and i dont trust them, let them go...im not speaking for any of the dudes in videos - i tend to ride safer, but still wont ride like cars, not cyclists, have the right of way. bicycles are superior to cars. car drivers should be humble and recognize this.


let me ask an open question to you guys: would you rather there be more bicycles, or more cars on the road? why?


bicyclists will bitch about cars because cars kill people. bikes do not. what happens when a retard that cant bike well bikes? he or she hurts themself. what happens when a retard that cant drive well drives? he or she can or will very well kill someone.
