Went for my daily ride and ended up getting into a fight with some old Fred who wanted to act like a typical rich asshole.

>nah bro no brakes no gears has to be as light weight and aero as possible
>wears baggy clothes and other accessories
>flat bars
>flat pedals
>is an entitled giant asshole while riding

why are fixie faggots like this

I need/want a nice looking bike for daily stuff, maybe some rough roads in the forest or fields with the convenience of a mudguard and luggage rack. Basically an all around bike that is not too expensive. I'm not into to serious biking or planning to.

I've heard good things about Cube bikes from frens, drove theirs and it felt really smooth in comparison to my rusty shitbike I have now. I don't mind an MTB not being optimal for paved roads or whatever and I like the sporty look, although the 2021 paintjobs are not great imo, but alas. I'll probably have the fork locked out most of the time in the city, so I need that.

Is there anything wrong with buying pic related for ~700 euros or is it a fine bang for my buck?

I like to eat dirt

Have any of you been flipping bikes during the corona virus? I sold off a ton of my extra spare parts hella fast.....bikes have had a sudden demand spike

When I stand on the pedals to go up hill I started getting bad back pain in my lower back. Do I need to put more spacers in the front or something? I feel pretty arched over on my bike.
But I'm 5'11" and it's a 56cm bike so it should fit me.

How long would it take an adult that has never owned a bicycle to become proficient at it?
