I recently bought a new road bike, it's pretty nice all asound, but one thing that has been bugging me is that the rear hub has this loud 'ratcheting' noise, my last bike (built in the '90's) was nearly silent. Is this a common thing on new hubs? is there a cheap fix? don't want to buy a new hub just because of the noise.

Hit and run is so rampant cars really should be forced to log their locations at all time. Perhaps a system where if there is a hit and run collision the vehicle is required to identify if it was at the location at the time of the accident.

A cyclist is most vulnerable when they aren't moving. If you are stopped you can't avoid anything. You can't even easily jump out of the way without awkwardly unstraddling the bike. When you are moving you have options, left, right, hop the curb.

i don't think they rage, i drive a lot and i never get mad at traffic or cyclists.

I do see the appeal in throwing a starbucks drink at a cyclists back as it's fucking hilarious.

they can't do anything about it but bitch and whine

and...it ruins their day at the expense of what $3?

then everytime they get on a bike they're afraid or angry that someone will just casually throw a drink at them from a vehicle that can take their life in a second and/or throw a drink at you at considerable speed just because.

I'm doing my first bike tour in a week, it will last for up to 1.5 months. This will be the most noteworthy thing I've ever done in my life. I've never travelled before so I'm a bit nervous. I just started riding recreationally last week. What advice can you give to me?
I will camp out in nature and wash myself and my clothes in lakes. I'm not sure how I'll this will happen so I'll practice a bit beforehand. I've read that dishwashing soap is the most multi-purpose soap, should I bring this instead of a detergent? What tools and spare parts for the bike should I bring with me? What clothes should I use?

Yes, that's the size I chose as they are quite slender. When mounted on Fuji's stock rims, they are actually 34mm wide, which is the maximum that fits with my fenders.

This is interesting. It seems that in Europe the companies developing self driving cars are attempting to keep bicycles off the roads because they aren't compatible with robotic cars. Who do you suppose will win in this fight--big multi-national companies or a bunch of poor tree hugging hippies?

Autonomous cars are more efficient only if there's a whole, complete network of them handling all of the wheel-based traffic. A few of them, or even a lot, won't really change a thing if there's still "normal" cars around, with retarded humans operating them.
I imagine city traffic composed of self-driving cars would resemble something more like a factory assembly line than your normal day on the street, but whatever.

We're only at the very doorstep of self-driving cars and yet these few cars with early algorithms, surrounded by crazy monkey drivers are already safer per travelled mile.
Imagine how it'll be in 20 years...

in theory cars can follow each other more closely with self driving removing human reaction time from the equation, this allows convoys to reduce power consumption by a significant margin as cars can follow inside each others wind channel.

but they won't be
look at when normal cars are used
people all go to work around the same time in the morning
they all go home around the same time in the afternoon
at night and during the day, almost nobody is driving around
if self driving cars are going to move everyone then there have to be enough for rush hour
and if there are enough for rush hour, most are going to be parked for the rest of the day
>Only as long as there are still human drivers around
there will always be human drivers around
imagine the gov taking away everyone's car
and the only people who could have one were people who could afford autonomous
or people dumb enough to pay for taxi service
that would not go down well

Why would that matter at all kek, first Rolex watches were 200$, today the most expensive ones are 100k$, and that's just slapping on more expensive materials with pretty much no performance improvement.

Refuting the original argument - the mountain bikes did not peak in 90s, in any way. They were shit, and buying them today is more retarded than ever. Any mall-tier bike with lowest shimano groupset will outperform them. Today you can you can get both cheap, well performing bikes, as well as state of the art ones, and those are expensive because we are using better materials than ever (inb4 carbon is cheap - yes, but production of an item and testing it, both for safety and all other qualities like aero and stiffness is expensive, then there is titanium, a lot of very specific alloys etc.), and we care about the science behind the bike performance more than ever, and that takes resources as well as very educated people. All those qualities trickle down to cheap bikes and the improvement every year is actually significant, but it's your choice whether you want to pay a few grand for the newest model or not.

Furthermore, it goes to show that any MTBs from that era, regardless of cost, are so completely inferior to modern bikes that it is beyond comparison.

Got out at 6 am today to beat the wind. Planned my route to check out an abandoned rail line that isn't on the map but I spotted in Google Earth. Touring bike was definitely the wrong choice for that path. There was a lot of loose gravel composed of rocks about 1" in size, so very slow and bumpy. Some big holes and piles near intersections to discourage people from driving down it. Dead moose in one spot.

My 2L Platypus bag cracked and sprung a leak yesterday dampening the inside of my trunk bag. I think those things have a finite life from date of manufacture. My first one lasted 3 years, 2nd one only lasted a year and felt kind of stiff from day 1.
