Targeting children to buy soba noodles? Bad business model.

“Salvage value”, I like that. I’m goinna steal that one.

Cycling never got me any metal, though a pre-race mtb ride it did get my right knee scoped and some cartilage removed in the mid 90s. (raced on it 6 weeks later). something stoopid and a spiral fracture of the right tib and a butterfly of the right fib got me a Ti rod and 4 screws, and snowboarding got me a plate and 5 more in my left wrist A couple of yrs ago. (stick to skiing snowbo is not a hobby to take up at 55+)

Did a 18 mile MTB race with my 13 yo son last weekend (at 63 I’m just happy not to be last), and so far this spring I have a couple of “local legend” tags on Strava.
I was snowboarding at Killington Resort by myself and met a guy on the lift who was in his 80s. Doctor told him he shouldn't ski anymore, so he took up snowboarding. That was in 1998. I thought that was pretty cool.
 
You guys driving like jackholes around cyclists is like flagging people on the line. Your life isn't in danger, but the cyclist's certainly is.

I can't claim to be a really serious road biker. I have about 170,00 miles in my log, so that's small potatoes compared to racers I've ridden with. But by the time I had 10K road miles in, I knew which roads I could ride on safely and which were spicy. I chose to not ride on dangerous roads when traffic density was a problem. There are plenty of safe roads to ride on. It is the responsibility of the rider to know the turf.

Get a clue - asshole bike riders create unsafe conditions for cars. Why do I suspect you are one of the assholes that ride side by side when they should be singled up and as far to the side as possible?

Dirty D, I think you need to show a few billion fat bottomed girls on bicycles for every fucking bicycle post. Start with this one, please.

I've been one of those racers. I had 16-20hr training weeks for many years. I've slowed down due to age, but the lifetime of miles in the saddle has proven that if you ride like the cagers want you to ride, they still dive unsafely around you. There's no appeasing them. ...as proven by this thread. Didn't work for Chamberlain, doesn't work on the road.

If I already live in the country and ride roads that predate the Civil War, where else am I supposed to ride? The swath between Bristow, VA down to Summerduck, VA and over to Marshall and Middleburg, VA and back are where I ride 90% of the time. Its not like I live ride on the busy roads towards Manassas, or up towards Clifton.

Driving isn't rocket science: if you can't see what's coming, it isn't safe to pass. Anything. Period. ...but the temper tantrum throwing types that hate cyclists because 'they're in my way' won't realize that.

sorry but missing it????
MY take was a business using the name "Show me nudes" was targeting children due to the graphics of care bears etc. Pedophiles immediately came to mind. Apparently others don't agree so I just acknowledged I could be wrong in a later post and moved on. I'm still not convinced, but will not argue over it. Just reminded me too much of Comet ping pong and pizzagate.
ETA: Asian culture never crossed my mind either until it was mentioned by others.

It's not a fucking pedofile noodle restaurant...

"My take" aka I don't know but I'll give my opinion anyway. That's about as dumb as the "my truth" shit.

Lots of Asians like cartoon bullshit like that. Look at anything about Japan it's all cartoon shit everywhere, the corner store isn't trying to fuck kids.

Stupid conspiracies like that are why people won't believe the real stuff.

You really can't be serious.. If you think for ONE SECOND that your safety is in any way, shape or form a responsibility of car or truck drivers you are delusional. I've been riding motorcycles for 52 years and am still alive. You know why?????? Because every second I'm on two wheels I understand and embrace that fact that they ARE TRYING TO KILL ME and ride accordingly. Motorcyclists understand this..... I don't understand why bicyclists believe that any part of their personal safety will be embraced by 4, 6, 8 or 10 wheeled vehicles. I'm not saying it's "right or fair", but that's the reality of it. I've had car drivers look me in the eye, pull out at the last second, so close their fender corner went under the tail of my exhaust pipe... They are trying to kill you!!!!! Accept it and stay alive. Your rights and feelings are irrelevant.... I accepted that fact a long time ago.
 
"We" with your 25 posts trying to tell people what to do.
