It's the Kenyan Kalendjin for marathons and then also the most noam-chomsky-as-of-today-looking rich white guy on a 10.000€ bicycle. Interesting split!

Quote by some random cycling guy in /r/de that stuck with me.

It was in response to some carbrain malding their shit over the fact that you are legally allowed to undertake cars stopped at a red light in the same lane on the right in germany, if you're on a bicycle.

A Randonneur is a long distance travel bike just for context.

The VSF stuff is usually solid, albeit entirely too heavy, but I gotta say, a randonneur in british racing green? I want one.

Just noticed I've never heard them discussed here. Surly basically invented them and called them the Corner Bars, but given it's "bits of metal pipes" you can get some without the name branding now. They're supposed to give you like a drop bar-esque experience except without changing out all the controls and most likely drivetrain, so if you ever wanted to try one, maybe this is interesting for you. You might have to readjust some cables or hydraulic lines.

I post this here because I feel like "how do I convert my flat bar into a drop bar" is a very common question in the bicycle world and while it is possible, it is often sort of not very advisable unless you like wrenching on your bike

The odd thing is usually the "Well why don't we do the correct thing?" dumbasses just go for some sort of technocracy where the experts (TM) are in charge.

How do those experts get decided? Listen, that's for other experts to figure out, I just want shit to work.

Been meaing to post about this, this a reconstruct of some fossil in the Rhineland-Palatinate which, for obvious reasons, made quite the rounds on the german internet for a while

I mean look at it. It's great. Reportedly the scientific artists responsible for this picture was quite pleased with it getting meme'd

Correct, yes I do, stop reminding me because then I am reminded of all the times i have to hear some drivel about rules based international order, rogue states or racism from someone who doesn't

Odd sentence, ain't it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.

The other half is "some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out", which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?

It's a bicycle, also it's a boat, also it's a camper.

One off concept vehicle for now, but you can pre-order one for 18.000€, which I can't tell if it's expensive for a bike, or like reasonable for an amphibious vehicle, or pretty good for a camper.

Here's a look at it by some youtuber

I cross the border on this and immediatly 3 different police jurisdictions get into a shootout over what kind of licenses I need to operate this thing. I am taunting them the whole way by riding in shallow water, further complicating the situation.

Man I want one.

How the hell was that popular for a while with the exact same crowd that cries terrorism if a bike lane is put in. I can't get an angle on how that wasn't immediatly shouted down, it's not like 10 years ago people were less carbrained. Even via racism I can't seem to find a reasonable explanation

I mean he's not a leftist. I'm ignoring the constant sexual harassment and latent homophobia that seems to permeate the entire show and pretty much every character here and also that he's like a huge dick, but all his criticisms of people, the system and the world are oddly leftist. Never really noticed when I watched it back in it's heyday.

I feel like every food that works as an MRE is some sort of slop (non-derogatory) because that just meshes will with how the thing be and that

Pizza is decidedly not in the slop category and would never work. Hot pot is absolutely IN the slop category and that's why it's so good (assuming)

How the fuck is all western MREs 30€-a-meal tacticool m4 extrem trail hike: school schooter edition when, going by sold out online listings, I could get a chinese self heating hot pot for like 5 eurodollars?

These things would be insanely convenient to just toss in my bike bag and have a warm vegan meal on a cold days bike ride

Kind of amazed china has apparently adopted a long standing legislative proposal of mine, the dudes rock clause where if you pull it off without breaking anything or harming anyone it's legal, albeit the cops are allowed to peacefully stop you from doing it

Another user here told me the average american hike is 3 miles and I have not been able to get that off my brain since. That's the shit I do with a friend on a hangover to get some fresh air

These fucking krauts just can’t shut the fuck up about how they have some specialized knowledge of fascism because they’re krauts.

You know, there's the old joke that nobody in germany likes to talk about '39 - '45 in britain and the us, which is of course wrong, as everybody likes to talk about that time, constantly, except of course business histories.

The maddening thing is that joke would be entirely correct on the money if it just picked like '45 to '90 or something. Everybody in germany is convinced because the education system places so much focus on the nazis (up until '45) that they're experts on it but they're all super surprised when they find out like nigh all of those nazis just basically kept trucking along in the institutions

I'm not much of a gamer anymore but cultural osmosis and all, I genuinely was surprised to find out Starfield was a bethesda game

True for antisemites but the problem is the centrists / liberals are actually completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies is my point. To stick with the example, the checks and balances is what you're supposed to defend against the savage lawless hordes elsewhere, how you gonna throw that shit overboard at the slightest ideological disagreement with the institutions you jerk off over. Not even leftists are that infighty
