big boi

Do you like suspension seatposts?

I work in a bikeshop and can I say that I fucking hate when some boomer faggot brings something like this into the shop?

It's always some guy who is slightly fat and uses it to go two miles, or a methhead who has too many DUI's to get a license ever again.

List of shit wrong here.
>usually on a walmart cruiser
>coaster brake
>direct drive instead of pedal assist
>500 dollar Chinese engine kit on 50 dollar 20 year old box store bike
>smells like shit
>leaks all over my goddamn shop

And when someone uses one of these on a bike with gears you get this shit:

>twist shifter next to throttle with brake lever now completely out of reach or pointing up into the sky
>throttle attached to brake with a second fucking brake lever right above it, usually interfered with
>fucking electric blinkers and stop lights.
Fucking hell you guys have two arms that tiny Chinese stop light with actual bulbs instead of LED's isn't bright enough to see, better yet differentiate which way you're going.

Shit these fuckers say:
"THIS IS A FAST BIKE HUH?"
"THIS IS A NICE BIKE HUH?"

Other fucking shit boomers do:
"DON'T REPLACE THAT I WANT TO KEEP IT ORIGINAL"
>it's a fucking 60 year old freewheel that doesn't engage
>it's a fucking purple painted chain on some Mexican bike.
>it's a fucking gas pipe schwinn

Also, fucking also

>handlebars five inches higher than saddle with the saddle totally slammed into the frame
>wd-40 on chain
>fucking literal bearing grease on chain
"I HAVE A SHIMANO MUST BE QUALITY"
"YOU GUYS GOT ANY SCHWINNS IN?"
"HEY DO YOU GUYS BUY BIKES"
>pulls out a fucking schwinn stingray or those fucking west coast classic bikes

fuck your entire generation of lazy weekend pieces of shit.

Holly cow!

wooden crossties, why ever?

Didn't see a thread for clothing so let's make one this is for posting:

Just look at this fucking Jersey (Velocio Unity 2019). I saw this and I was stricken, never have I laid eyes on something so stunning. I've been searching for a new kit that really stuck out to me for months and I just found this today.

It's a shame it's a pre-order and doesn't ship to mid July but it'll be worth the wait.

I also plan to buy some of there other stuff too becasue any company that can make something this striking has got to have good stuff.

west coast to east

Scooter > foldable bike.

Is anyone else here into market urbanism?

I've always thought of sustainable development as just a wiser investment than sprawl, and a smarter use of resources (public and private). I also see gentrification as not a terrible thing and America could use it to an extent, especially in our 2nd-tier and midsize cities.
Sprawl was the result of massive government intervention in land-use and in a less-regulated environment we'd wind up with more European city layouts (smaller streets, wiser use of space, diversity of uses in neighborhoods, less parking lots).

*I know this isn't strictly tranport-related but there is no board in the universe for urban development stuff.

An Alaska Q400 has reportedly been stolen from Seatac airport. There are additional, sketchier reports that it may have been shot down and/or crashed, but no confirmation on that as of now.
