I'm so fricking sick of cycling. Is there anything like it that where you can travel and exercise but don't have to deal with it's shit?
I'm so fucking sick of cycling.

So you want to exercise but don't want to deal with the feel of exercising? Hm.
Swimming is pure kino but the government haven't implemented my brilliant idea of replacing sidewalks with swimwalks yet. I love exercising, just not cycling and I've been cycling with good bikes since I was tiny.
Swimwalks is a great idea, where do I vote for you?
Just write me in for every selection on your ballot. My name is Black person homosexual
Based swim walker. If they took care of the sewers we could use those, but noooo, they have to let them go to shit.
>swimwalks
????
I think they're called pedestrian sidepools.
much better than sidewater
You can access them through the circular iron covers on the road u fricking idiot
>tfw when americuns dont have a river througout their city

Outside my window rn lmao
>mcormick and shmick's
>In front of body of water/bridge
You fricking moron, I could dox you hard but I can't be bothered right now.
He's posting from a hotel, he dgaf
>Now i imagine a novel about a distopic/utopic alternate future where earth is more water than land and humanity has evolved to traverse maritime environments and base their society and enviroments on swimming and water, like some sort of planet atlantis
Waterworld?
Earth IS more water than land.
move to the Netherlands
sideswims, moron
what happens if someone pees in the sideswim lane?
death penalty
Ride mountain bike trails
Dont get appeal of mountain biking. Unless you live in a Mecca for the sport you have at best a small handful of trails that you quickly will learn and get bored of. Road biking you are free to go anywhere and can literally bike halfway across states and to different cities in a day
NTA but I can appreciate this criticism. I only got into after moving to Colorado from NYC. There's a ton of great trails here and none back east.
Get a rowing boat
Rollerblading. Get some big wheels and you can skate on shitty pavement no problem.
try running?
I have to switch to that sometimes just because I get sick of cars on the road and people on the bike paths. Even when I try and pick an empty mountain road that almost nobody drives on somehow I find someone that just wants to be an butthole.
Sailing
>only one good actual suggestion
Rollerblading is KINO and jet set radio is sick but how would it look when I blade up to the local prostitutes house
About as ridiculous as arriving in full bike gear, spandex, aero helmet etc
I don't do any of that shit because I'm not a homosexual
I just wear casual clothes
Are you American?
If you are can you please answer why Americans think of all bicycle related activities as homosexual?
I'm not talking about the morons that buy the most expensive bikes and put on full bicycle gear to ride around their neighborhoods while obstructing traffic and using the road ignoring traffic rules, everyone thinks these people are total gays.
I get the impression that Americans hate all bicycle riders but can't find a reason why.
there is no reason. its just like that. attempting to find the reason will lead you down the path of madness
Like a fricking boss, that's how
>Already pig faced
Yuck
Desert walking
kayaking
Cycling / road biking is still goat activity. You just have to stay away from the gay culture of the sport. I prefer “touring” while training for the occasional triathlon compared to group rides with a bunch of dyel jackasses
A Saturday or Sunday morning taking the bike on a 30 mile ride across town with some pals, stopping at breweries, getting food, or do a 2 day ride and camp out (in a small camelback all you need is to be able to carry a water and a portable hammock) and then ride again the next morning
Hnnnnng. Cycling pitfalls to avoid though:
- only doing it and nothing else as exercise. A cyclists body is basically trans
- wearing the dumb outfits , tho with a proper road bike you will want padded shorts
- cars
theres no one on earth that doesnt look like a jackass in cycling attire but the back pockets on jerseys are useful and the glasses are better field of view than my casual sunnies so i use them. i say just go plain, nondescript, and cheap and youll be fine. raphagays are embarrassing.
How much you recommend budgeting for a solid road bike? I recently got a entry level Roubaix and cant wait to take it out next month when it finally warms up a bit in the great north
for jerseys? i mean a roubaix is a decent bike should be fine for a casual cyclist. the bike i ride the most is a giant contend 3. total shit tier but its unbreakable and i dont have to worry about it.
but anyway, i think if you plan on riding 3 days a week you should get 2-3 jerseys and 2 padded shorts so you arent constantly having to do laundry. if you hit sales a really basic jersey from specialized or pearl izumi is something like 30 dollars? and then the shorts are 50 a piece not on sale. literally all you need. and jerseys arent even really necessary unless youre riding far enough that you are gonna have to eat on your bike so like 2+ hours. but you know a backpack or a saddlebag/top tube bag or something effectively does the same thing so that may be a more economical option. just bring a spare tube, tire levers, a patch kit, and a pump with you. you really dont want a flat when youre 30 miles from home with no way to get back.
My problem with cycling is that it makes my peepee goes cold, small and numb...
you dont need any gear other than a backpack
i'm goin 30 miles in cutoff jorts, a spare tire, pb&js and my huge fricking wiener.
having pockets in your "jersey" is convenient if you need to eat while biking. you wouldn't want to pull over and scarf down a luna bar in front of the group of milfs walking on the trail with your pissy spandex
wearing gear that screams I DO X ACTIVITY that doesn't actually help that much with the utility of the activity is the homosexual part.
Joke about the spandex but if you actually lift it’s a bit of a god send, good way to show off the definition in front of the babes
I bought some freeskates and have only busted my ass 5 times so far. People freak out over them so it's worth it just for attention.
kino
I row on a lake with a bunch of middle age people for about the price of a gym membership.
I do it 5 days a week but it's hard because I got to get there at 5am.
Nice watching the sunrise on the water tho.
