I'm riding a bike with a buddy
It's fun and easy and feels real good
Why aren't you riding a bike? Do you like bikes?
Here is mine, i ride it all day everyday because that's my job
Sorry for pic quality tho
>>28007491
It sucks not having a bike.
I just dropped big $$ on a bike I'll get it next week. Should be fun and I will get fit.
>>28007541
You do deliveries? That actually doesn't sound bad. Stay in shape, work alone, view the city.
That's a really cool bike anon. I wish I had one that nice man
>>28007566
You should buy one anon. What's stopping you man?
>>28007595
I think it's very worth it. It's especially fun when you have a friend to explore and travel with you. Just be sure to stick to your plan of getting fit and riding often.
>>28007598
I'm living on a strict budget of minimum wage.
My girlfriend's parents never taught her how to ride a bike. Currently trying to convince her to try it this summer.
>>28007674
Teaching girls how to do things is really fun and cute, I think that you could form some memories teaching her how to ride. I think that you should definitely encourage her and ride together
>>28007654
Damn dude. I'm sorry. If you ever get some funds consider it man, it's pretty fun.
>>28007654
You can get bikes for pretty cheap, local classified ads in my area have adult bikes for like <$80 - its not going to be anything fancy but it will get you out and riding. Plus if it looks cheap, it probably won't get stolen
>>28007491
my arse it no like the thin seats
bmx not bad as don't sit down
but 36 6'1 fucked knees n bmx don't mix
>inb4 shut up gramps
>>28007598
Working for food deliveries, that fucked up, what i mostly do is delivering some vegan burgers for rich kids who treat me like shit.
I hope i could be a bike messenger some days and stop seeing all those faggot faces everyday.
I don't feel comfortable working in an office and i need money because i can't get welfare where i live, so that a way i've found to earn something without feeling totally empty.
Plus all my coworkers are all hypocrite lunatic losers except a few of them.
Is your buddy on your back or is it a two-seated bicycle?
>>28007814
Good advice. It's worth saving for.
>>28007947
My buddy is the one in the background of the OP image, you can see my handlebar in the side. We rode to a local school's parking lot and shot some footage for YouTube.
>>28007650
That looks like a really cool hipster friend.
>>28008045
He's my best friend, I live with him. Sometimes it's hard to get him to go do anything because he is so introverted but we have fun when I eventually pry him out of his room.
>>28007491
>implying I'd be able to buy a bike from anywhere
>implying thered be one thats good
theres 0 bike shops anywhere where I live
>>28007650
ur friend looks like hes having fun
I want to build a motorized bike but they're illegal in my state. Califags win again.
Hell yeah, anon, love my bike. Just got new metal pedals after I wore out the originals.
>>28008132
Where do you live euphoria? In sure there's some sort of Craigslist near you.
I actually live somewhere pretty isolated as well. We are just in town for the next two days. Usually we are stuck on pilgrim internet in a literal village. Iktf I guess
Pic is some abandoned bathroom me and bud explored.
>tfw live in a country where there ate more bicycles than people and where there are cycling lanes everywhere
>everyone here uses their bike daily
feels good
>puncture every cycle
>cheaper just to get the bus
>put on 5pm-1am shifts all week
>have to cycle in
>get foam stuff put in tyres at halfords to stop punctures
>have a comfy cycle to work every day
>through nature reserve the way there, along a long dark road the way back
>use gel seat and padded shorts but arse still fucking killing
cycling can be quite robotic tbqh
>>28008205
I live inmemeland
its difficult to get anything shipped to where I am because of insane shipping prices
also a lot of things just are unavailablememelands the place that shitposts too much
>tfw you will never roll out with your g7ng of 1st graders, 10 thick and all riding cycles, ever again
>>28008353
I'm so sorry. memeland is shit. Repulsive
i go biking every day, but i'm really starting to lose interest. also the wheels need to be trued and mtb tires/extreme winds make riding HELL. moreso the wind rather than the tires, i can deal with that but i can't really deal with the wind.
>>28007491
Just celebrated one year with the only thing I actually care about any more.
Bikes seem so complicated. There are so many different types, parts, etc. How do I know what I want?
During my time as a NEET I've explored every part of London on my bike. I don't think there's an "A road" inside the M25 that I haven't ridden down at some point.
>tfw can't ride a bike
>>28008517
if you just ride around town and stuff just get an old 10 speed off of craigslist for <100 bucks
you'll probably have to place wear parts, though.
>>28008517
I'm the delivery guy from above.
If you don't want something complicated and you live in a flat area, just buy a fixed gear bike, or if you don't want a fixed gear for any reason, a single speed could be perfect, almost no maintain except rust or brakes.
If you want something with gears, but don't want to ride 100 miles, a second hand bike from craiglist shall be perfect. But if you want something new, a road bike with a shimano group set will be perfect, it's durable and reliable.
>>28008466
Your bike is very handsome
>>28008517
Hi to a bike shop and just talk to the salesmen. Ask them to explain different makes and models and when they start bragging about some part that is 'cutting edge', ask them to expand on that part specifically. They know bikes well and won't shame you for asking
If you don't decide to do this go watch a YouTube video. Look up something like 'Bikes for Beginners'.
With your newly acquired knowledge back out of the bike store and buy one literally 85% cheaper on Craigslist.
Good luck.
>>28008564
Was it worth it?
>>28008106
He's your boyfriend, isn't he?
>>28007491
I never get to say this
>>>/n/
When I'm biking with the gf i feel at my best.
Cornwall is pretty nice for this.
>>28008676
Yeah, got to see so many different places. London is 40 miles across so there is always interesting things to run into.
there's nowhere to go except around my subdivision, traffic is too crowded during the day and it's way too dark at night(outside of the subdivision).
>>28008709
No he is not. I hope one day to find a non trap conservative qt but I think they're extinct. Sigh, back to bikes-
>>28008726
Is that you in the pic? If so that's a really barren area, looks beautiful
>>28008795
Sounds a lot more interesting than my small town. I really like exploring big cities on foot or on tires. There's a lot to see and it feels productive.
I want to join eggman in his quest around the United States in a van doing just that.
>>28008713
Why have a reason?
>>>/m/
I want 4 weeler
Canada just started to warm up so I go on my first ride of the season, go too fast and fall, scrape about 4 layers of skin off my shoulder and hand, cant wear a shirt or jerk off without feeling pain
Thank god, I was wearing my helmet, may have died...
>>28009250
also the crash, broke my gear dial thingy so I think instead of fixing it, I might buy a new one, any recommendations, looking for a hardtail mountain bike.
>>28009405
Just buy new gears, go to your local bike shop if you have one.
>>28009405
wtf anon shifters are cheap
>>28009436
Yeah, but the bikes a few years old and a bit too small
this is such a comfy thread anon. well done m8
>>28009463
oh right then i guess you could justify buying a new bike
as for a bike idk
>>28009547
what do you ride anon?
>>28009620
27 y/o department store rigid mountain bike.
>>28009514
Thank you man. I'm trying to test things out so I can become the master at comfy threadcrafting and r9k bonding.

>>28009938
