Damn! you guys are fast, are ya training for an event?

nothing, because i'm not a faggot that feels in competition with everyone else.

Seethe because my bike has metal toobs and rim brakes

I like roadies except when they all descend on the same cafe as me all at once when I haven't put in my order yet, seeing as it looks like they're almost done I'd just be like cool bikes bro how did you get so fast omg you're an inspiration and then go over and order my affogato

Interacting with strangers is gay and American. I just want my ice cream.

>>2030154
>nooooo im not as fast as the greatest cyclist of the 21st century and his super team i have to be mad!
id ask tadej for an autograph, and i'm asking you to kill yourself.

>>2030175
Is this really some super duper special team? Its funny because i have a 8k carbon roadbike with all the blink but i dont fucking care a single bit about bike races. I have no clue about fast pros except this armstrong guy from the 2000's.
Tried to watch some races like TDF or keirin races but its just boring as hell.

>>2030177
I don't know either and I have spent a lot of dough on bike stuff. I like watching the crashes though, bike racing is cool it's just too much effort to find out how to watch it, so I don't

since they're all in matching kit they're obviously a team and there's no way anyone else who isn't on a sponsored team could ever keep up with them so I wouldn't feel bad at all.
I'd wave hello non-committally as I dismounted my really old bike and if I got any response I'd try chatting; not sure those guys would be interested and that's fine, I'm not interested in the race scene at all but if they were friendly we could talk about our bikes, that's always fun.

>>2030154
>These guys passed you on the last big hill before the cafe. Didn't even take pulls.

what do you mean they didn't even take pulls?
if they passed you immediately then there was a wheel there for you to suck and the pulls from them would have been indefinate, what, are they all riding behind you on your wheel for 5km and then doing some kind of team attacking strategy? Ridiculous.

>>2030177
>Is this really some super duper special team

Yes. It's the best world tour team in terms of points scored and they have the 3 time winner of the tour de France.

There are essentially 2 elite teams, 10 competitive teams and 8 bottom feeders.

>>2030258
Ok wow but they all look like malnourished twinks tho.
How can they be the best if they look like they havent eaten in a week? Or lifted one weight in their entire lives?

>>2030281

Cope more, skeleton, you will never have real power, you're just an endurance slave doing 500km climbs at ridiculously slow speeds.

>>2030294
Breakdance is also a "sport", and the people who practice it usually are black or brown. That doesn't automatically make black or brown people good, respectable or less of a target to be made fun of.

>>2030501
Cippolini couldn't climb at all! That's why he was awesome at sprinting in the drug era but could never finish a tour de france. He would get caught by the broomwagen that eliminates slow riders.

are we doing that thing where we ran out of arguments so we post google image photos of celebrities hoping we will acquire some of their powers that will help in the internet argument? because I find your choice odd personally, I would have gone for a pretty girl. picrel is my larp choice

wa la I am now a pretty girl, if you disagree with me you lack "rizz" and are probably an incel, you incel

Nothing more satisfying than blowing past some faggot lycra clad boomer dentist group on their 10k carbon fibre meme machines on my budget ass ebike wearing shorts and flip flops. You can feel the SEETHE directed at your back.

You are very much right, and I am glad you are.

>>2030967

Yea yea everyone who works out is they. Move along crazy

Go ride your bike
Oh, wait

YIMBYs and people that don't leave the house pretty much ruined /n/.

Where do you guys go now to talk bikes is there another forum? Or do I have to touch grass and go to the LBS to talk bikes

why does dressing like you have a sealed juvenile criminal record for coasting down the hill in the MTB park not get the same kind of hate that wearing comfortable cycling clothes gets for riding a bike all day, sealed juvenile criminal record is not more comfortable and serves no real purpose other than to advertise your low IQ, poor impulse control, and having a well connected dad who knows who to call and bully into burying whatever shoplifting and statutory rape convictions you did before 18

what the fuck is this post trying to say

>>2030154
I don't like talking to corporate branded "people"
And if your bike isn't personalized/customized then I really have zero interest at all
I don't give a fuck if anyone passes me so long as that's all they do
I'm sure they would like to think all bike riders are similar but I just loathe competitive people, they're so annoying

>>2033752

why would I seethe when motorcycles pass?

This is the kinda shit my friend with an ebike used to say to cope.
But now he’s been riding more, losing weight and getting faster, nothing like this has come out of his mouth for a while. Now he’s wearing lycra and trying to buy a bike without a motor. Proud of the guy

everyone knows what would happen if they stole one so they don't need locks

I don't seethe when anyone passes me because I'm just happy to be going faster than walking/running speed. As long as I'm passing padestrians I know I'm not wasting my own time

???? Roadies go downhill all the time, how do you think they get back down after going uphill?

But going downhill after taking the chair lift just seems sad, I don't see the point, but I'm not obese so maybe that would help me understand better. Like people who don't seem to mind eating entirely out of cardboard boxes and 2L bottles of soda.

>>2052169
Tbh I wish there was somewhere I could get a tram to the top and just ride down descending is the only fun part of road riding

>>2057734
the reason it's fun is that you've spent like 2 hours in the granny gear to get there so it's a godlike rush of power when you just need to tuck and read the corners and you're basically bouncing off terminal velocity for 15 straight minutes, it won't be the same if you take a chairlift like an MTB hamplanet

>>2057731
never heard of a chop shop dude? they sell the useful parts and then just scrap the frames, or at best rattle can it and apply some new stickers

>>2030704
>flip flops
don't do this it is COLD outside

>the purestrain seethe i can feel radiating off of boomers walking on bike trails and lycras struggling to take corners as I carve through a corner wearing my shitstomper combat boots, instantly achieving five times their terminal velocity on downhills without even touching the throttle or pedals just because my bike weighs like 50kg

dont even have a bell on it anymore, the day i rang at someone and they still seethed that they "couldn't hear me coming" was the day i took it off. you walk your dog on the bike path, i will run over your dog. i know they would door me in a second were i riding on the road, fuck them white niggas

>>2030777
Lucky trips aside flip flops are the greatest cycling footwear money can buy. I have fully converted.

>>2059709
everyone knows riding park is for losers. imagine wanting to be around so many people, its the same reason I can't roadbike your literally just surrounded by people and cars 24/7

>>2060548
Skill issue, I literally live in one of the densest most crowded places in north america and I can easily get to no-cars greenery and chillaxed riding just by riding half an hour out of the city. Even more so if I get on the train.

>>2062937
our definition of no cars is clearly different. I live rural as hell and there isn't a road maintained enough to roadbike on that no cars drive on, on earth. When I say no cars, I mean most of my rides I literally don't see another soul for 3 plus hours. I probably see a side by side or atv once every 10 rides.

>>2062945
I guess for me getting passed by a car every 30 minutes or so doesn't give me a rage aneurysm, I know for some it does, the guy who spams NJB shit and screeches about cagers maybe

>>2030154
Id have kept up or passed in my prime. Maybe.
My average cruising speed on a heavy mountain bike weighed down with a heavy duty chain lock and extra lights was 20mph.
My "training" was biking uphill for an hour straight after work every night.

>>2063103
>My average cruising speed on a heavy mountain bike weighed down with a heavy duty chain lock and extra lights was 20mph.
"Average cruising speed" is average speed x1.666

>>2062982
One time I was riding along a bike trail and a maintenance truck was cruising along at about 2mph and a krazy karen on a hybrid completely lost it and screamed at him for getting too close and everyone stopped and stared and even the driver had a look like "wtf did I do". Some people just fly off the handle at the idea of sharing a road with a motor vehicle

>>2066508
who tf can get mad at trail maintenance trucks. i salute those motherfuckers even if they do have the hick blinding lights and are otherwise shitheap niggers on the road. they keep my trail lookin and feelin good

>>2030512
Would.

Women, that's who. Guys who post "tfw no bike gf" will learn the hard way. Females and bikes are a bad mix.

>>2066508
>krazy karen on a hybrid
a true karen would never ride such a thing. she must have been a DUI. and even DUI karens just keep driving their fucked up car after crashing it nine times whilst under the influence of a single La Croix
