I am a master at helping drivers transition from the oopsie wave to the confused indignant glare after they expect gratitude for nearly hitting me.

X-LAB: The Bike Brand No One Saw Coming, and the Secret Manufacturing Powerhouse Behind It
X-LAB: The Bike Brand No One Saw Coming, and the Secret Manufacturing Powerhouse Behind It YouTube video by Cycling Weekly

This video is long (42 min), but if you ever had a curiosity about how a high-end carbon bike is made, this is the best explainer video I've ever seen. (Also if you don't know the X-Lab brand, you will soon.)

Haha same people.

Haha same people.

My favorite behavior are folks who leave a cart in the exact middle of the aisle and wander around looking at shelves, oblivious that other people are nearby. Below is a Venn diagram showing the crossover of these people and the folks who park in a bike lane to run in and pick up their dry cleaning.

Probably some e-motos but I think in this case most of the complaints are about legit eMBs.

I find it enlightening to go to the grocery store and see how many people are cluelessly, selfishly piloting carts though the aisles with zero spatial awareness. Folks who walk or ride bikes a lot sadly know that these people behave the exact same way as they pilot 4,000-pound motor vehicles.

Of course there also are the affluent and fit MB enthusiasts, who drive their bikes to a trailhead in an SUV, who also think that trails should be reserved for people like themselves.

Some people oppose everything good in the world.

Some people oppose everything good in the world.

Really shocking that people who hate teenagers on e-bikes in their neighborhood and oppose bike lanes in their community and make fun of people wearing spandex and fought against traditional mountain bikes on trails would feel this way.

If you love to hate Cybertrucks, you will really really enjoy this.

You inspired me to look up his Classics record. I see he only rode Flanders once. I know he was a small guy but my memory of him is being so scrappy that'd think he'd do well there. (He did come in 4th on his only try.)

Uh, actually it's nothing like that.

It's amazing how like 25% of Americans have permanently broken their brains.

You hate cars. You hate cyclists. You try to correct strangers. You must be fun at parties.

I hear you Andrew; if only motorists had benefited from tens of trillions of dollars of subsidies thanks to lobbying from petroleum and automotive industries or been gifted 50 million free parking spaces. Anyway, keep posting!

I'm glad to see sexual predators swept out of government. Let's get rid of them all. I'd remind folks there are shitloads of actual sexual predators who terrorize female athletes and that if you want to protect women's sports these cis men pose 1000 times more risk than trans people trying to exist.

Feel it more strongly today than yesterday so I guess I'm comfortable with sharing that feeling.

Waited 24 hours to see if my frustration at this sort of response would go away but it didn't. Oh well.

this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional

LA has long figured out that it is cheaper to pay a handful of seven figure settlements a year than fix all the crumbling, dangerous infrastructure.

If you listed the 10 things most likely to reduce deaths of bike riders, helmets wouldn't make the list. You can make a chart plotting fatality rates and helmet usage in various countries and you'd see an inverse relationship between the two. It's fine to wear a helmet and dumb to push it as policy.

Am I the only person on Earth who sees and feels a connection between Wout at Roubaix and Bieber at Coachella?

I think attacking the Pope on crime and with 2am Jesus memes is a really good strategic move and I encourage the administration to go hard on this strategy. Almost as good as sending JD Vance abroad to get shit done.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

The best way to support women's sports is to watch women's sports.

You have to admit that Tadej Pogačar is well on his way to being the next Marianne Vos.

I know MVDP is a classy guy and I know he was exhausted and I have zero interest in some weird argument with a stranger. Have a great afternoon.
