yeah no I'm out of my depth here intellectually, but it sounds interesting, mind elaborating?
Would religious cultures even consider themselves "religious" since it was the de facto ideology of their society?
Going by the catholic church example they seemed to, like most religions, arrive at a point of "We say this is how it is because you gotta have faith" or similar which to me would be the distinguishing feature to this, where it's "actually it's all scientific" (ceterus paribus, i.e. we making shit up
Not sure I'm gonna call it based but it is fucking hilarious
Is there a case in history where society was heavily influenced by what was later considered a religion, but wasn't at the time and didn't claim to be?
The coalition will respond
I'm like 90% that's a quote from The Downfall
Easy: Either drive a Renault Twizzy or similar, otherwise; obligated Ride Share within 20% of your trip distance. You gotta register your car rides with the FAA now, fucker.
Isn't China comparably tough on this sort of thing?
So do they just let it slide for their own companies or does the rest of the world get the gambling-addiction-app and the chinese don't? That screenshot is very much in english
Where do these lycra wearing assholes get off riding side by side, I rage inside my 3-person-wide-vehicle with 2 seats, all of them except mine empty
The persecution complex here probably does tbh. Everytime you meet these people it oozes out of every pore.
I got invited somewhere where it's the only vegan option.
Allthough I've had some Napolis and Arrabiatas that were way better than what I can make at home at actual italian restaurants, kind of wondering whether they just source better (canned) tomatoes or just use olive oil a lot more liberally
Frame made out of bamboo, pictured here is a My Boo that touts a partnership with a fair trade social program in Ghana to make the frames.
It's supposed to be more ecological, for obvious reasons. Weight on one is about 15kg, which is pretty good for a kitted out city bike.
I can't speak to longevity of this and whether it actually pans out vs. say, a steel bike that you keep welding back together, on account of these haven't really been around too long. It's held together via a composite glue made out of hemp and resin, so at least they're following through here I suppose.
Reviews I've read is that the ride quality is really nice, being stiff yet compliant in the ride cases as to not make it a boneshaker.
Price of these is, obviously, fairly high, these'd run you around 3000€ euros, I'd argue a comparable bike made out of traditional materials would run you maybe 800€ new. But I'd argue it's more a proof of concept.
I also sell to individual customers but you're gonna either have to be a pretty good runner to keep up or rather more dexterious so you can cycle next to me. Close passing cars and bike lane parkers get a nice squirt of mustard on the roof
Pictured here is the new spacecamper, usually a business for converting vans and such into campers, for cargo bikes.
I'm kind of undecided on this. It feels very convenient, unless you have an ultralight tent the weight of your bike, and your supplies and the tent and the bags and whatnot seems sort of the same as this stuff.
What do we think about the concept? Cool idea to incorporate your bicycle into your sleeping arrangement for trips or dumb playtoy?
Pictured here is a Van Raam, who make some other bicycles for people with disabilities, but they're hardly the only one. I think it's cool people are doing things like this. They are, sadly, rather pricey.
You get a nice box in the back or whatever but it's not really THAT much bigger than a box you could fit on any old regular bicycle
You can plop like two children there but then you can do that with Long Johns and 3-wheelers and such, too and ALSO you have the fuckoff-big box. They don't really seem all that shorter than comparable versions either.
Anyone got one or know why someone got one?
Thanks! Rest assured I was too dumb to know any of this and will not repeat this question
