>A mother has described the "terrifying" moment a cyclist smashed her car window spraying glass over her three-month-old son in an alleged act of road rage.
>She said a cyclist thumped the car roof as he passed and when the car overtook him she leaned out of the window and told him to be more considerate.

Just another act of love and compassion from the Eternal Cyclist.

What do you expect when you live in a rat packed shit hole.

Not in those words I presume
How do people here in /n/ feel about these fat bikes?
They literally don't do anything better than other bikes. Not even snow or sand.
I see these ugly ass things everywhere in my campus
pls no
>Inb4 lurk more/buy one it'll learn you
I need to know what I'm looking for before I can figure everything out for myself, and no QTDDTOT threads had these questions, and no threads had this question, so
Where can I learn the basics of what to look for in a new bike, where to draw the line on rebuilding a used bike(buy a 90's rigid frame MTB hurr), when to consider upgrading?
I lost my car due to an accident and am so poorfag that I am not getting any replacement for a good month and a half. Currently I walk 12...

You want a bike with a rear rack. The style of the bicycle doesn't really matter but you probably don't want razor thin tires. That's about it. You can learn everything on the Sheldon Brown website and YouTube.
There are bike buy generals. Post your local craigslist you won't want to go new with your budget

Understood, thanks.
Thread can be saged to hell

Generally seconding the other poster's recommendations.
How to learn more?
Read more. Work on stuff more. Talk with bike folks more.
When I was getting into bikes as an adult, Sheldon's website was definitely a useful resource for me. My bike was older, a 1986 10-speed, and that's sort of what his site is geared for.
Later, when I got a more modern bike, my Barnett's Manual was invaluable (download it first, then buy it later). There's a lot to be learned in there, even...

Not on your life, my Hindu friend.
what about us brain-dead slobs?
hey
Euro train looks like a dildo. American train is a beefy mother fucker that doesn't take shit from anyone.
Difference spotted.
Americans came up with the passenger set trains. Check out The Burlington Zephyr and the Union Pacific Little Zip.

And yet europoors never got any Little Joes.
You may have electric locomotives now but you'll never have the ones that matter.
Is it alright for me to be riding on roads if my bike is a single gear and do I have to study up on what all the symbols on the road mean, basic driving shit etc
>>886097
yes and yes

Technically you don't need to know what the road signs mean, but it would help you and other road users if you did.
>>886097
>do I have to study up on what all the symbols on the road mean
Do you ride an adult tricycle? Or use xl training wheels? Do you need to wear a helmet at all times whenever you leave your house?
Because you sound literally retarded.
Who does not know roadsigns and shit before leaving elementary school? Holy fuck.

Need good LMV. Living in DC/Metro area so terrain is pretty flat
Considering pic related. Thoughts/Suggestions
Run out of battery and have a bad time.
Doesn't look like the frame offers anywhere to lock it if you can't take it with you at your destination for whatever reason.
Really you are better off with a folding bicycle.

I want to fug that animu
hello there, ive been riding for a while but want to get better. dont want to race, just beat myself, push my limits (mainly in speed and resistance).
i know you will say get the cyclist bible.. thing is i live in south america and shipping books to my country is a pain in the ass and besides its 2015, we have internet, there's tons of free info regarding a lot of stuff.. i wonder how is there not gonna be a good source for bike training?
till now ive developed my own training, which consists on 4 rides a week, 3 short intense ones during the week (2-3 hours each), and one long relaxed in the weekend (4-5 hours).. i usually train on a hill during the week, climbing it several times and more flat on the weekend.. but im confused regarding elevating my cadence or pedaling slower but with more power.. or better said using heavier gears with slow cadence...anyway.. share your training routines..
by the way, is it possible to train without a bike computer? (no smartphone either).. oh and i commute to everywhere all the time on bike unless i have to carry something not bike transportable...
so any tips on stuff that can be get for free is welcomed, im ok with getting stuff by the side btw, torrents and stuff, just couldnt find joe friel's book.
pic unrelated but i heard /n/ likes trains.
Go to the gym if you wanna ride faster. Obviously you'll need to actually ride your bike also.

op here, thanks for your empathy bro.
ill explain: you have to receive a notification through the mail, go with that to the post office, get another paper, go to your house and print and fill other papers, then go to the customs, wait 2 hours, pay some shit, wait an hour and a half more, get your shit. (no cell phones allowed btw, but no one gives a fuck, you also cant buy shit and the waiting times im talking involve going early, you have to make 4 lines for all this bullshit).
also, i truly believe there...

Why is there so much hate for TT bikes?
because steelisreel and they're just too gottagofast for all the 'freds' here.
there's really no reason to hate them. it's just that the majority of /n/ is fucking retarded.
>>796080
Easy there tiger.
Find me 1 example of someone hating on a TT bike here. I think he meant in general.
>>796072
Riding mountains is a greater form of cycling. The road legends have all earned their place in history on the hills. Sure, there are time trials in the TDF, they are important, but they just don't compare. Cycling is about mountains/hills.
Also they're similar to triathlon bikes and so they get associated with those assholes...

38 to 42 MRHR depending on what mesocycle I'm currently in, and what week in that mesocycle (higher in week 3, lower in week 1, lowest at the end of week 4 (recovery week) if everything is going well).
