A bike feels much more enjoyable. It can be chill and relaxing when you want it to be, and when you put effort in to go faster, it feels much more exciting on a bike 🙂

I honestly wouldn't mind an ebike...maybe something that had cargo capacity and was somehow made out of carbon fiber 😂

​@BrianMcDonald try the bafang 750watt conversion kit with a 20ah battery, for the sum of $1,300, easy to install by yourself all click and play wiring, takes 3 hours and you can recharge the battery for only 28 cents !

most drivers are like that they pass me going to the same place with me right behind them

That's the problem with people that drive aggressively like that to save .3 of a second, because I know I'll eventually pass them and that increases the chances of them thinking I am doing the same thing they are doing and it becomes a dangerous competition to them even though I'm just going about my day casually 😂

I feel like a boo transmits shame while being lighthearted enough to not create a confrontation 😂

Sounds like you need a pump to go with it! lol

I wish you didn't have to deal with that!

If I hustle at the start of the ride I can get a long line of green lights which is why the time is shorter. The quickest start I could potentially get is if I go through the first right turn right as the signal is changing so I could catch the green lights before I turn left and make it past that first intersection that I usually wind up stopping at.

It's always an enjoyable part of the day for me!

@@BrianMcDonald I hope it's a new derailleur hanger because right now I have a random machine screw holding mine on.

That doesn't sound ideal! That makes me feel like I should have a spare lol

Yeah, I ordered two replacements to I have a spare on hand. There's nothing worse than a persistent creak that you can't get rid of... The mounting bolt is the worst tolerance, softest M4 I've ever seen. Stripped out without too much torque.

@@misterbigglesworth ouch. I want direct mount derailleurs from now on with no hanger 😂 I really like it on my gravel bike

I am luckily able to bring it inside the building I work in.

Yeah It's common to see celebrities in the neighborhood I work in.

Cheers!

It wasn't too hot for them today!

I have a GoPro hero 9 with a chest mount :)

I did a little ride a week ago with hundreds of people on bikes, but I don't post every single thing I do :)

Absolutely. I hope for their sake that the two seconds they saved were worth it! Lol

An F-150 became enraged when I passed them on my bike last week, started driving like that, and I caught up to and passed them at every single light.

It is a common and unfortunately normalized behavior

@@misterbigglesworth fun times every time

@@BrianMcDonald it is called being bored driving is very boring

I ride for the Users!

I feel like they could do other things to better enforce illegal mopeds but they aren't known for the greatest strategies lol

I've never had a car and the last time I drove one was in 2019 and that was the only time I've driven in the last 16 or so years. I take trains and buses in NYC when needed and as with most NYers I will walk distances that may seem longer to other people when it comes to walking. If I am without my bike I have got into a habit of using Citi Bikes since it's nicer to feel the breeze instead of being on a train. With my job I work with people that have mobility challenges so we will use cabs/uber/etc too.

I use Silca sealant :)

@@BrianMcDonald I went with Orange Seal since there are times I don't ride for a few weeks to a month. My buddy got Silca and it dries out constantly since he doesn't ride much and his bike is stored in his hot garage. Have you had good luck with the replenisher or since you ride all the time don't really need to worry about it solidifying?

I have done two rounds of replenisher so far and I too have noticed it dry out a little sooner than expected

Usually between 12-1pm

😂 No shame in the lip balm game!

It was in the 90s earlier in the day but I think when I was riding it was probably in the 80s

Thanks!

I've actually never done it!

Usually utilities will use those cones to mark the start/end of a work zone. Sometimes film crews do it too when they have permits to block off streets. Basically they do it when they need to have a car parked in an area that otherwise would not allow parking.

Appreciate you!

I don't know about the whole rich and famous park 😂 I make like a dollar per video lol

@@BrianMcDonald better than nothing! Every dollar counts

I actually made some adjustments with the bike fit and it is feeling really good now!

Thanks for the link!

Agreed Darwinism has been removed from the equation

Thanks!

The bike is my size and everything is positioned based on my body proportions and flexibility. Sounds like in your situation, a higher and potentially shorter stem would allow you to use drop bars in a comfortable way while being able to utilize the multiple hand positions that drop bars offer (which is why I prefer them). If you handed me a pro racers bike with super aggressive geometry with very low handlebars, it would probably bother me too 😂

👋👋👋

😂 I try to keep the spf coverage going!
