>>2060008 i'm >>2058907 front is cyclami x7 set to the dimmest mode at (allegedly) 250lm rear is moon cerberus ru on the dimmest setting also, but it has a "variable lumen system" and i don't remember what setting i used, lowest i think? it tops out at 150lm and goes as low as 5lm
Can't see shit, I just keep my mitts on and shoot from the hip. Was -18C with the wind chill. Fresh snow on top of packed snow on top of ice for 22 km, it took 2 hours.
>>2064509 >same frame >same forks >same wheelset >same crankset >same brakes >same shifters >same bars >same seat post >same saddle At what point do you think the ship of Theseus metaphor becomes relevant? If I go for a bike ride, am I not riding the same bike when I get back than when I headed out? If I clean the dirt off the bike and lube the chain, is it a different bike?
>>2065520 Nah you wanna cut through that shit, especially your front wheel or you just end up sliding out of control. A solid wall of snow either side of your wheel gives you something to push into to keep you upright (especially wet snow) and you can fishtail your way around without actually sliding out.
>>2065819 I've been surrounded by them twice. Once while camping and another time while cycling, at 3am. I have audio recording of the second encounter.
I'm not scared of them by any means, but do carry spray just in case. They have attacked several people here the past couple of decades. That thing sticking up beside my stem here >>2065712 is a can of coyote spray. The red tab is visible here: >>2064506
>>2065934 I had to check online, this light is ancient. It states 1800 but I doubt it's accurate. Plenty bright though, and the pack is two 18650s. I have gone 5 rides without it dropping more than one indicator bar and have never had it die on me. Great light, honestly. I did de-solder the cable and cut it down though, it was way too long.
It's an Evolva, probably some defunct Chinese nothing brand.

>>2073354 You're actually more likely to be out at odd hours in the winter because your decreased serotonin levels are going haywire so you're putting in as many garbage miles as physically possible hoping to fight off the crippling depression
wow guys i always seem to end up riding around at 3am listening to something like this no matter what time of year it is https://youtu.be/T7Yaty64sm8?si=FZ8r162seDrLSCJp
>>2073474 >what is a winter beater Of course you wouldn't understand, being a casual/non-rider. You also don't understand why it's retarded to post a motor vehicle in a cycling thread... you'd receive the same reaction by posting an e-bike. We all have assets other than bicycles man, but this is a cycling thread.
>>2073490 >Non-rider Lol, pathetic spergout. The chassis and all the components on my road bike were developed by either Jim Easton or Jim Felt. Show me again where in OPs post it says bike thread? I know biking is your only mode of transportation, but people do use other modes to go out for night rides. Maybe you just implied that to yourself when you samefagged the OP. That type of faggotry is better suited to /p/ - or have you been banned from there again?
>>2073569 >not only am i a desperate cringeposter i am a stalker too Kek, you can't act unbothered while also getting agitated enough to creep on someone. At least you've admitted to being upset now.
>only mode of transportation I have a Ford, BMW, and Acura. The thing is though, this is a cycling thread. You know it is too, but are an insecure babbydick who got drunk and tried to dunk on people in a cycling thread. Maybe you should dust off your bike and unwind with some honest exercise.
>>2073571 >Everyone who criticizes me is le stalker Anyone who's spent more than 5 minutes in /p/ is unfortunately familiar with your schizoid retardation. >Ford, BMW, Acura. I didn't know you had shit taste in cars too (B58 only exception)
>backpedals yet again So much for me not having any transportation. You abandon arguments quicker than you abandoned cycling.
Be less insecure and jealous. Sorry for triggering you on /p/ and /n/ without having any idea you existed because you are boring and inconsequential to every board you post on.
>>2073583 Kek, it took me a long time to realize but there are multiple instances of you seething about me on both boards and referring to /p/ and /n/ over the years... dare I say rent free? You saw me posting winter rides in this cycling thread so decided to shit it up with motor vehicles?
>literally laughing out loud I'm sure you are; reacting to me seems to be your thing. One could even call it a consequence.
>>2073586 My guy, I don't even go on /p/ but the pattern is becoming increasingly obvious. You mistook this site for reddit and lean on your old pics of your bike during a snowstorm hoping it will help you "ratio" people. Apparently your reputation is following you across boards now. It's summer now, surely you can at least take some pictures in the rain or fog or something?
>>2073586 >Seething for years Dude I am honestly fucking dying right now about how retarded you are haha. Honestly feel bad for how much delusion you have to live with.
>>2073587 >i don't even go on /p/ Backpedaling yet again... you literally mentioned it here: >>2073569 >>2073577
Face it, you mentioned /p/ on /n/ and vice versa one too many times while crying about me and I have now noticed you. Happy?
>muh reddit Yeah, you keep scraping the bottom of the barrel for that one. You already admitted to not even getting banned from 4chan so are clearly a dork.
>old pics of your bike during a snowstorm There's that insecurity again, exposing you as a casual/non-rider. Every pic here apart from >>2064508 is from 2026. It's a daily commute of 40 km. No cyclist would be in disbelief over something this basic.
>It's summer now, surely you can at least take some pictures in the rain or fog or something How drunk are you? Here:
Not only do you have no photography for /p/, you don't even have any cycling content for cycling threads on /n/. Also you have images of trannies saved, kek. Go smash another bottle of whatever it is you're drowning your sorrows with today.
>>2073589 Damn, I didn't know you could sperg that hard. Having an autistic moment? You know you're talking to two different posters right? I've literally never posted on /p/.
>it's multiple people seething over you on /p/ while mentioning /n/ and multiple people seething over you on /n/ while mentioning /p/! Kek. The creepy insecure little faggot is also an idiot.
>>2073599 I'm not the one throwing a tantrum every 12 hours over the most trivial things, snow boy. This is the first time in the history of /n/ I've sided with a planefag on anything, so congrats on being more insufferable than them, I guess
>>2073607 People calling you out on your annoying behavior is not a sign that anyone is "adverse (sic) to people riding in the snow". We're just getting tired of you shitting up threads with your melties. Feel free to delete your posts, followed by deleting yourself.
>>2073612 At this point fully half of the thread is dedicated to you and your little meltie, are you happy now that you are getting the attention your parents didn't give you?
>>2058814 is it a dumb idea to ride my bike on the road at night in the middle of the country? I wanna start riding to work but when I get done it's like 10pm
>>2073782 I do this. Keep a tight schedule so you see mostly the same people, and be visible with a good tail light. Consider using two for redundancy. Maybe avoid Fridays when the drunks are numerous.
>>2073782 yeah, country drivers are usually worse and more often drunk. however there is less traffic overall so it evens out. but still, get lights. and as tempting as it is to get gorillion watt lumenblasters, they dont actually make you harder to hit
