I'm 28, a tiny bit overweight but working on it. My bike is new, but it's not top end by any means, but also not a department store bike.
I guess I am comfortable, I'm just worried that I'm kind of sucking at cycling.
After seeing your post, I'm considering buying it!
If we haven't hit the breaking point yet, then we never will. These protests CAN'T be civil. We need widespread civil disobedience all across the country, and especially in D.C.
Fuck Facebook. Fuck Meta. Fuck Zuckerberg. Fuck the oligarchs. Fuck LLMs/AI. Eat the Rich.
Anyone who the billionaire hedge fund manager is planning to bankroll is the guy you probably should be voting against.
Hm. Must be an easy guy to find with a name like that. It would be a shame if people who hate dirty little nazi fuckheads got a hold of his personal information. I hope that doesn't happen.
Anyone who thinks that protesting will stop this is an idiot. Hypothetically, if you wanted to stop this, either you put on a FULL ON general strike, not 200,000 people, but 20 million. Or you go and get your guns, and start driving the fuck over to your state capitol, or better yet, the WH.
Tell that to all of human history.
Someone has to do it. It would be wise for parents to get with the program and understand that.
There's no point in arguing with someone who argues in bad faith. You're better off telling them to fuck off to lord knows where than waste your time on them, as they've already made their mind up.
Put it in already...what are you wa...oh, you were talking about the planet...oops...
I'll try to focus more on my shifting! Thanks for the advice :)
One question - for hills, for example, which derailleur has more of an effect? For example, on a big hill, am I better off being in 1st gear on the chainring and 3rd out of 8 gears on the cassette, or 2nd gear on the chainring and 1st gear on the cassette? Which do people usually use?
