Trail running.
This got so popular over lockdowns in my country and area specifically. Couldn’t go for a nice walk in nature without hearing about 7 people in a group huffing and puffing with all there accessories to hold their bottles and shit rustling around
Swimming in the ocean
you could get into cycling and not be cringe about it. there are cringe people in any outlet don't let it discourage you from trying anything pussy homosexual
Yeah, OP. It's cyclists who are cringe.
Mountain biking or if you street cycle try wearing non lycra.
Just get a heavy cheap mountain bike and do some interval training in beautiful neighborhoods. Bikegays that load up on gear are DYELs that think they can buy their way into fitness
>Bikegays that load up on gear are DYELs that think they can buy their way into fitness
This. gays on specialized aethos are the equivalent of showing up in a lawn mower to a box car race.
>gays on specialized aethos
no idea what u're talking about - if u want to ride a bike pick a bike and ride it often ? what is so fricking hard about it? i did it 12 years ago, changed tires, sit - and i fricking ride, it cost me 300$, it's got even front suspension - chink tyres gone noe but shimano hardware ( it was selling point lol), decent frame, i just bought a size too big, doesn't matter the way i pump it for less than half an hour at a time it doesn't get uncomfy - but be aware of it, it needs to fit u
regarding OP bot
>i'm not bot
shudup bot, wear something u're comfy in, i never wear anything tight and it bothers me not
if ya rly want to be anal about it - it's hard not to look smooth in adidas tracksuit on a bike that fits you, it's possible but u gotta be special kind of frickup to pull it off, u should roll up right kneesleeve so that it doesn't get in the chain though
Probably just as cringe but rollerblading.
What said
Rollerblading fricking rules. Great low impact cardio that's fun and you can do tricks and shit. Who cares if it's historically a homosexuals activity. Just say you used to play roller hockey, if anyone asks
Just cycle. Get a decent bike third hand that has been discarded by "geargays" for cheap. Basically any road bike with rim brakes and aluminium frame. You don't have to wear lycra if you don't want, but if you cycle a lot then it starts to make sense.
True enlightenment is when you make it through your tryhard cycling phase and start riding just casually in normal clothes but continue to wear lycra all the time when you're off the bike
Hiking
Just don't wear lycra, homosexual.
The padded shorts are so nice
Longtime cyclist and former bike shop manager reporting in. Just ride Gravel/MTB. Roadies are the Black folk of cycling and everyone else hates them. As soon as you leave their gay little world of strictly riding pavement, suddenly all of your peers actually like fun again.
Swimming is kino
Also what said, roadies are so fricking bad they almost made me lose the passion and joy of cycling.
Where roadies get their attitude is beyond me.
Any advice for someone looking to snag a bike off Craigslist? Haven't biked since I was a kid but I'm 6 feet and have no clue how the sizing works.
You know you don't have to wear all that Lycra stuff right?
I don't wear it unless I know I'm doing 50miles or more that session
Is it just for less drag? I got to 60 miles now and i just wear shorts and tshirt and it's fine
It's more for the cooling factor and the shorts help hold everything in place as well as being able to match the amount of padding to your ass easily.. too much padding can make it hard for blood to flow everywhere it needs to and not enough just destroys your sit bones
It's for moisture wicking and padding.
Dirt bikes. Wrestling a 250-300lb machine is a workout. Plus you get way cooler scars. Chick's dig the gravelly skin look
fixed gear bikes?
a bicycle date with a cutie is my favorite workout
seeing her sweat
cute outfits etc
electric mountain bike
lots of fun and literally makes the pink spandex crowd have a fricking stroke from anger
redpill me on e-bike seething
its "cheating"
They're even worse than these natty dyels who make roidtroony threads
Not him but e-bikers tend to be lazy people who go fast with no control. They are always peddling slowly with no effort.
They tend to be 50+yr old boomers wearing no helmet and riding like ass.
Just don't be a lazy moron on a bike and it's all good man.
If it's a mtb get a L since that will probably fit you well. Road bikes with metric sizing have different toptube and seat tube sizing that is precise, but still you can adjust a bike to fit you anyways with different handlebars, stems, crank length, seat setback, etc.
If you are looking at mtb's get a hardtail if you are poor/looking for a cheaper bike. Get a full suspension bike if you are serious about offroad or spending 2k+. Component quality does matter, but if you get a decent used bike it will last.
see what I mean?
This spandex homosexual is enraged about other people's riding style.
>TOO FAST WITH NO CONTROL!!!!
as if spandex bike homosexuals are concerned about safety darting out in front of speeding trucks because they think they have the right of way
You see I am not enraged. I just worry about people running no helmet and going 20+mph on narrow bike trails.
You just insinuated me as the type to dart in front of a speeding truck. I don't.
anyways go have fun or whatever.
>I just worry about people
what are you my father?
Dont worry about what I do, gaywad
E-bikes run the gambit from people using them as electric mopeds or those just kicking in to hill climb. I think they make a lot of sense as a commuter since it allows you to get good speed, carry stuff, and avoid getting drenched in sweat. I have a bike trail near me that runs right to down town and this is the most common use. However it is virtually a motor vehicle replacement and not even casual exercise. As
said, what you end up with is people going very fast on what are effectively electric scooters, often without the awareness that they share limited space. Especially in urban bike lanes I would often prefer to see them in the road since they are keeping pace with cars.
Definitely get padded shorts if you don't have them. For casual rides I just use the 25 dollar amazon specials and have a couple of nice one courtesy of zuccbook mart/sales. The padding moves with you. Your sit bone width, the posture on on the bike, etc. all play into comfort. It maybe worth dropping by a bike shop and getting it adjusted for you, even if it costs a bit. A correctly adjusted seat is basically a form check and once you know what it feels like when it's correct you can fix it on other bikes going forward. For starters, where on your ass does it hurt? A common one is people having their seat adjusted flat for an upright ride and then leaning forward aggressively on the bars, causing the narrow part to put pressure on their taint and cut off blood flow.
Anything with "e" or "smart" in the name is made for moronic NPCs.
but it has an electric motor.
Would it be ok for me to use it if they renamed them "motorized non-gas powered bikes"?
You are also a homosexual so I dont care.
so I guess this homie never uses EMAIL
Also "i"
I rode almost 30 miles one time, burned through half a pack of smokes, and just drank out of a normal 20oz water stuffed in a cargo pocket. Just get a bike and ride it moron.
>burned through half a pack of smokes
This nullifies any physical feat you may have accomplished.
30 miles could be hellish or an easy jaunt depending on elevation and bike.
30 miles on a bmx bike would suck, but on a road bike is easy enough.
30 miles is literally nothing, that's my commute and I do it in an hour.
you bike 30 mph? you are full of shit.
>4sins
>telling the truth ever
Sorry, I meant to say 30 kilometers
>I rode almost 30 miles one time
Whoa, you're hardcore
Cycling to commute/transit and never for recreation is based. Gets some movement in your day to to day life built into your routine.
other way around
cycling to work shows you are lower class while recreational riding can be one of the best cardio workouts you can do
cycling to work is blatantly superior
you're basically getting free exercise time and you get to enjoy being outside and waking up
>cycling to work shows you are lower class while
Only to the snobbish, shallow americans, willing to go into crippling debt just to own the latest iphone and suv, everywhere else, biking to work means you're fit and have good health, most americans are too fat to ride a bicycle anyway.
Yeah, dont being an amerifat
try riding at a velodrome
Just sprint and go balls to the wall everytime, alternate between walking and sprinting. You might think im being sarcastic but im dead serious. Youll beat any liberal cycling homosexual any day.
cardio kickboxing. not sure why youd wanna cycle with your upper body stuck in one position gripping the handlebars
>Excessive cycling will damage the cervical spine, lumbar spine and knee joints. The symptoms of such injuries are mainly pain, mainly due to the problem of riding posture.
kayaking if you have water. you can also just bike the way you like and not be a geargay. that would require you to have some self confidence though.
redpill me on walking vs cycling to burn calories
I had an idea to get an e-scoot to go to places, then walk around exploring new areas
gonna get good at swimming bros, everyone loves swimmers
single speed mountainbiking.
pros
>less gay than road cycling
>builds leg and should muscle
>no lyrca required
>good workout in limited time
>cheap compared to geared mtb
>reliable
cons
>spin out on flats
64cm thighs just from cycling like this.
I see now downside, really.
My ass hurts everytime, how do you make your bike seat more comfy?
You get used to it. That's all there is.
Look for bike/gravel trails and get a gravel bike
>speed of road bike
>no cars
Longboarding. And you can find lots of hot alt girls who do it.
first of all anything but road biking is for homosexuals also you wear lycra because its comfortable don't care how it looks like
people who have issues with that are insecure little cucks
I mog roadchoads on my 90s mtb.
Never met a roadchoad I couldn't mog.
that definitely happens
I'll snap a picture of them walking their glorious carbon steeds up the hill I crush every morning, just for you.
Just get a gravel bike and load it up with shit and go ride for a week. I fit a 2 man tent under my bars and then just go whenever.
>you need expensive latex and plastic helmets to cycle
I cycle shirtless on my 15 year old rusty overloaded 40lbs mountain bike and mog """pro cyclist""" skellington DYELs
Mountain biking.
Road cycling is for attention-seeking pussies too afraid to ride offroad.
man wtf are you people talking about? you know most of the people "road cycling" are fricking going somewhere don't you?
Where do roadgays get their attitude from? They're always picks
>he says in a thread full of mtbfatties shitting on road cycling and lycra
You realise there's a reason for that right? I've been abused and yelled at by roadgays for literally no reason. I follow all the rules and it's still not enough so frick roadgays
>be middle class couch potatoe
>mogged in every aspect of life
>get idea to become cyclist
>buy $2000 worth of gear
>become eco and fitness snob despite become a skinny fat with better cardio
>be an butthole but view cars and pedestrians as the aggresors
>become obsessed with aero
bot u dead? or just slooooooooooooooow here?

Ride a fixie, you don't need loads of gear. Or gears, huehue. One gear, no brakes, pure fun. Nothing feels better than sending it down a hill after you've nearly blacked out climbing it!
mountain biking
>no mountains where i live
oof
Race-walking!
my buddy just lost 60lbs in a couple months by cycling 200km everyweek. Say what you will its great exercise
