I haven't ridden a tarck bike in about 10 months.
The bike I have been riding for the last week has a flat bar, a triple, and a pie plate. I sorta like it.
Been riding this bike because I destroyed the valve on the front tube on my usual commuter with a shitty pump and am too lazy to fix it coz the bike is totally filthy.

i haven't ridden a bike in a while with the traveling and then the moving. now i am too scared to ride cause i am in such bad shape.
I dont ride my bike as much as i should/pretend to
i do not own a bike
im a girl
I hardly ever/never ride my track bike, and haven't since the season ended in August. My Cross-Check with panniers and BMX platforms is just such a great get-up-and-go bike that I see no reason to ride anything else.
sup?
what pedals are you using?
These. They were in the pull-off bin pile at my old shop, so I snagged them.
I didn't ride for two whole weeks while I was road tripping down California way.
Longest I've gone without riding in at least five years.
Most driving I've ever done in my life.
Now I'm sick as hell and it's all I can muster to just do my commute let alone do any 'real' riding.
I swear it was the inactivity of driving that got me sick.
I bought an "urban bike" the big buzz from REI, it has flat bars, disc brakes, is heavy, and I like it. I do wish it had drops, but I am too cheap to spend the money to make this happen. I ride it 95% of the time track bike remaining 5%. (DISCLAIMER: I have not study actual percentages) Percentages likely to change once I get a proper road bike.
troo confession:
I RARELY wash my pants.
Im in love with triplesixer
i really only have one pair of pants i wear and i wear them for about a month straight.
i don't have a tarck bike. riding is split 40% bmx, and 60% masi. currently not sure which bars i want to run so the road bike doesn't have brakes run yet
my tarck bike has had flat for about 6 months.
rode one time. just swapped front wheels then put flat tired wheel back on after done...
I fuck on the first date..
jesus dick.
'sup boi.
I haven't ridden a tarck bike at all since last winter when mine got stolen. Also, the Allez has been hiding in the basement. I've not put more than 200 miles on it. Also, haven't hit the trails much recently or really ridden my road bike very much. I've only ridden 4-5k miles this year.
knew it
:-)
nah zelah deleted that when ppl made fun of his 300$ jeans
im a douche irl.
I have odyssey twisted pedals (no foot retention!) on my Omniums right now.
I also have risers with a positive rise stem.
I never trackstand at lights because I'm lazy and dont give a shit. I'll put my feet down because it's easier.
I prefer riding my trainer than riding in winter weather.
I don't like talking on forums about bikes (hence why I stay in OT most of the time)
I enjoy the feel of risers.
I really want to stick it in Selena Gomez.
OT annoys the shit out of me.
The 'humor' on vsalon confounds me. As much as I respect some of those guys and am nearly universally jealous of their bikes, I just don't get them. Glee? really?! This is as good an example as any of what I am talking about.
I wish I rode my bikes more.
I am in the ugly transition area between hipster and roadie, and by not technically qualifying for either at the moment, I have realized I am firmly a fred.
I always get a little apprehensive before I hop on my biek. Partly coz I'm so accident prone and don't want another 'free ride' in the ambulance.
The good news is that if I get into a position where the ambulance does want to stop by and give me a visit... my next ride is FREE!!! :-) :-/
Then I saw her face...
Now I'm a believer...
I hit a parked car riding drunk, stumbled back onto the bike to try to get away from what I thought was a cop car with its lights flashing behind me, crashed a second time and didn't manage to get back on for a third before the paramedics from the ambulance chasing me could run out and grab my shoulders.
I had a pretty good laugh inside the ambulance. They brought my bike in and dropped me off a few blocks down. I walked home with scrapes all over and no glasses for my blind-as-fuck eyes, but I could tell from the silhouettes that I was being stared at by every passerby.
If you're a mildly competent rider, and can unclip and reclip without incident, then there's really little or no reason to track stand. It's just a waste of energy.
BUT ITS SO COOL
i like my non-aero levers.
this. I'm so lazy and its way easier just to leave the left foot clipped in and rest on my bike for 20-30 seconds.
