A Randonneur is a long distance travel bike just for context.

The VSF stuff is usually solid, albeit entirely too heavy, but I gotta say, a randonneur in british racing green? I want one.

Just noticed I've never heard them discussed here. Surly basically invented them and called them the Corner Bars, but given it's "bits of metal pipes" you can get some without the name branding now. They're supposed to give you like a drop bar-esque experience except without changing out all the controls and most likely drivetrain, so if you ever wanted to try one, maybe this is interesting for you. You might have to readjust some cables or hydraulic lines.

I post this here because I feel like "how do I convert my flat bar into a drop bar" is a very common question in the bicycle world and while it is possible, it is often sort of not very advisable unless you like wrenching on your bike

I'm curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would've been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

Been meaing to post about this, this a reconstruct of some fossil in the Rhineland-Palatinate which, for obvious reasons, made quite the rounds on the german internet for a while

I mean look at it. It's great. Reportedly the scientific artists responsible for this picture was quite pleased with it getting meme'd

Correct, yes I do, stop reminding me because then I am reminded of all the times i have to hear some drivel about rules based international order, rogue states or racism from someone who doesn't

Yes, this is from /r/fixedgearbicycle

Odd sentence, ain't it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.

The other half is "some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out", which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?

It's a bicycle, also it's a boat, also it's a camper.

One off concept vehicle for now, but you can pre-order one for 18.000€, which I can't tell if it's expensive for a bike, or like reasonable for an amphibious vehicle, or pretty good for a camper.

Here's a look at it by some youtuber

I cross the border on this and immediatly 3 different police jurisdictions get into a shootout over what kind of licenses I need to operate this thing. I am taunting them the whole way by riding in shallow water, further complicating the situation.

Man I want one.

Scholars have discussed this issue for eons, if I bolt a DshKA to a cargo bike, is it a technical? We need to find an answer

How the hell was that popular for a while with the exact same crowd that cries terrorism if a bike lane is put in. I can't get an angle on how that wasn't immediatly shouted down, it's not like 10 years ago people were less carbrained. Even via racism I can't seem to find a reasonable explanation

I mean he's not a leftist. I'm ignoring the constant sexual harassment and latent homophobia that seems to permeate the entire show and pretty much every character here and also that he's like a huge dick, but all his criticisms of people, the system and the world are oddly leftist. Never really noticed when I watched it back in it's heyday.

How the fuck is all western MREs 30€-a-meal tacticool m4 extrem trail hike: school schooter edition when, going by sold out online listings, I could get a chinese self heating hot pot for like 5 eurodollars?

These things would be insanely convenient to just toss in my bike bag and have a warm vegan meal on a cold days bike ride
