Why does cycling get so much hate here?
It's a great way to safe money and stay IST during commuting. You meet your cardio goals by simply going about your day and warm up on your way to the gym.

good idea. you convinced me, op.
Not enough cycling infrastructure around me and my bike would probably get stolen anyway. If I could ride a bike where I needed to go, I definitely would.
Because for whatever reason cyclists are the most entitled people on the road, willing to fight pedestrians and drivers alike for space they perceive is theirs and only theirs.
gigachad mentality
> the most entitled people on the road, willing to fight pedestrians and drivers alike for space they perceive is theirs and only theirs.
but enough about drivers.
kek my man tried to STEP out. Not even a fricking dive and roll. LOL
By far the best part.
Been cycling my whole life. People spout memes or anecdotes of the downsides.
one could argue its the only part
If he jump out would it be better?
Cycling is awesome and a lot of fun, I got an ebike so I don't even have to hardly exercise
i dont know
i personally like to cycle in summers, its mentally good activity and burns so fat as well
Can’t beat a horse. A horse is a bike that peddles itself.
Humans can outrun a horse on foot over a long enough distance
>This meme again
No you can’t
>horse approaches cliff
>cannot climb
>horse slides into gully
>stuck and dead
>nighttime
>horse disoriented and scared
>rain
>horse cannot make shelter, hypothermic, dies
Humans just keep on winning somehow
People can, but you have to be in top shape as an endurance runner and the race has to occur in a hot dry part of the world. It's more about how much better humans are at body heat management than all (iirc) other mammals, you beat the horse because it's suffering from heat exhaustion.
Yeah it's possible given the correct conditions but very suboptimal. What's the point of your calorie-hungry brain if you don't use it, right?
Also checked both of you.
Lol the horse can run double the speed take a 30 minute break eat som grass and repeat. Humans exhausting animals to hunt them is fricking moronic. Pic related is the truth. Humans were created to have shoulders and wrists to accommodate throwing shit and beating things to death with a stick. No other creature has this same capacity and it is still highly effective to this day
im dutch, just about everyone cycles here. But every cyclists outside of my country and "racing cyclists" in my country are fricking moronic from the stories I hear.
persuit hunting is real and worked, but you also had to train extensively to be a rooner, hunting with projectiles especially bows is way more effective. But the real redpill is to domesticate animals and just bring your food with you as you travel.
drivers are huge buttholes though, just look at the sheer number of people losing their fricking minds to road rage. Its so common we even have a name for it.
everyone is an butthole and treats the road like its theirs, its better for the wellbeing of cyclists to seperate them into their own dedicated lanes physically seperated from the main road. Even if the driver is the butthole in a collision the cyclist always loses.
It would probably help if they taught cycling, I.E. how to behave in traffic in schools. When I was in primary school they had us cycle a route with parents and teachers in "disguise" checking if we were obeying the traffic rules and shit. It was pretty fun actually.
I havent been to Germany much but the places ive seen make it look like its slowly turning into America, at least as far as infrastructure/car centrism is concerned.
>It would probably help if they taught cycling, I.E. how to behave in traffic in schools. When I was in primary school they had us cycle a route with parents and teachers in "disguise" checking if we were obeying the traffic rules and shit. It was pretty fun actually.
neat. I only learned since my parents were cyclists.
Yeah I prefer bike trails, and sidewalks over here.
Here in america there are some good places to live as a cyclist, but you have to scout them out.
yeah as much a people try to encourage cycling, without the appropriate infrastructure I consider it a habit of suicidal people. I would not do it if we did not have such an extensive infrastructure for it here. Not to mention hilly terrain. Sidewalks get way too busy here to share with cyclists. I just cycle in the city though, no trials or what have you
This is absolutely correct
Here's how hunting worked for grug
>be human or protohuman
>naturally selected for big brain & ball-socket joints
>big brain able to compute trajectories, intrinsically understand physics of force and momentum, and follow if-then-else chains
>ball-socket joints in arms and legs able to propel mass and external objects powerfully yet accurately
>know area and recognise patterns to make educated guesses as to animal movements
>find animal tracks my father taught me to follow
>follow tracks to animals
>probably camouflage self because empathy enables me to understand how I look to other animals
>sneak to "close enough"
>coordinate with fellows because socially equipped
>all throw weapons at animal
>max chances of good hits
>animal flees
>track animal and repeat until enough good hits that animal is disabled
>harvest and return to home
Big brain = PATTERNS, TRACKING, KNOWLEDGE, SOCIAL (i.e. TACTICS), STEALTH, CALCULATING, THROWING
All of humanity's most prolific weapons are projectiles (stones, spears, slings, bows, crossbows, guns, grenades, artillery, rockets, missiles). Battles have been dominated by range weapons for all of time
If "muh jog hunting" idiots were correct we would probably have four legs for a start
I'm pretty sure there's still some Kenyan or Khoisan people that do it. It's really inefficient in comparison though
And they still live in huts
Yes anon thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. All i said is that yes persuit hunting works and some humans practiced it. We already established its very inefficient.
If I want to beat a horse I grab my motorcycle.

Cycling is gay
cycling is the ultimate freedom for daily use. Cars have long distance and hauling shit. covered, but why would I take my car to my office, when both will be 5 minutes tops? Advocating for CARS CARS CARS BIG TRUCKS TO GO FOR COFFEE CARS CARS is the biggest consoooooomer cope of the world.
cool story amerigolem.
>Free parking.
Lol, no. In many places it is already impossible to park your bike due to the lack of space.
>there isn't enough space for my bike, surely there must be space for my car then!
lol the funniest argument from cagers is the whole 'you arent following the rules of the road! reeeeeeeee'. you are correct. im not. and no man can stop me. only natural law.
The ultimate freedom? Not living in a homosexual city kek.
I am a king for two square miles and I have a 20min ride one way to get to the closest gas station. Do you think I would ever trade my freedom out here in the country so that I could live in a literal shoebox in a concrete anthill... all so I can ride a bike down the street? Does that seem logical in your tiny mind?
you are really upset about people having a bike. sounds like you projecting some insecurities
>cyclists: REEE bicycles are true freedom
>me: no they aren't
>cyclists: why are you so obsessed with bicycles.
Kek did that regurgitated shit response actually make sense in your mind?
you cant ride your bike in the country? how come?
This is only sub 70iq and murica. All smart people cycle in my country
>sub 70iq
Which is 90% of population on the planet.
Do you want me to?
You sure do hate masculinity. It's wrong to hate others for their gender preferences, anon. Also your "green" movement was engineered by governments and multinational corporations so they can monopolize the energy economy that they themselves are trying to construct. Please educate yourself lest you remain a useful idiot for social engineers.
>toxic masculinity
This means "not masculinity". I have a vehicle that's powered by muscle. That is masculine. Hating it isn't toxic masculine, it's effeminate.
>fear of looking gay
>homophobia
Rational. You're a homosexual.
>fear of tight clothing
Imagine paying all that money to go 2 seconds faster over 200 miles. Imagine not even doing that and just buying it for the fashion lmao homosexual.
>most people here like "big manly cars and trucks"
Those are cool too yeah.
>love gas and burning oil and other "masculine" shit that's stupid
>hatred for anything seen as "green" or ecofriendly
You're gay.
>hate having to share the road
>hate the entitled cyclists that ruin it for the other cyclists
Confusing. Are they entitled to a share of the road or not?
>hate anything that actually improves themselves
Post body.
Most are americans that got lobotomized by the car and oil industries
Cycling kills your dick, only a fullblown moron would contemplate putting his entire bodyweight on the pudendal nerve.
>his entire bodyweight
That's why you need to git gud and put some pressure on the pedals and alleviate that, you Black person homosexual.
Does it get hate?
Its true that the spandex wearing homosexuals get a lot of flak, even other spandex wearing homosexuals don't like them but no one in their right mind would say anything against cycling as a mean of staying fit or as a means of easy/affordable transport.
in the head of these people you either look like picrel or you drive a car. they live in their own reality where they MUST be angry about some made up scenario to feel validated.
>Feel validated
Only morons say this. What the frick is a "valid" person?
It's the gay way to say feel good about yourself. Feel good about yourself is the moron variant but also what smart people say.
>Does it get hate?
Where the frick do you live that cyclists are some mythical beings? They're everywhere here and they're all moronic. They either crash into you on the sidewalk, or they crash into you at the pedestrian crossing from behind, or from the side because think they are too important to stop at red lights, or they crash into you get out of your parked car because they are blind or they crash into your car because they want to overtake someone going slightly slower in the bikelane. The only good thing about cyclists is that they die all the time (god bless you eastern yuro truck drivers)
Where do you live to get crashed into by cyclists so often?
In a fantasy world.
Germany. I could open my window and watch the traffic right now and it wouldn't take 15 minutes until the first dumb b***h on a bike does something moronic.
>or they crash into you get out of your parked car
Decent bait
Happens all the time you fat ape.
But that's the fault of the cagie then, Black person
I can just walk like a normal person without pissing off everybody in a 100m radius. Frick cyclists.
I don't move over to give cyclists more room when I pass them
I would push them over if they rode on the same side of my car as my driver's seat (may look into getting a jap import for this)
If I had a truck I would slow down and roll coal at them
The weak should fear the strong
>I would
But you don't. You are a weak coward to scared to do anything IRL.
Bold words coming from a bike nerd riding near my one ton shitbox going double the speed limit
But you don't.
>The weak should fear the strong
you're not strong for driving a car sweetie. did you mean to type fat?
Post body
I'd love to cycle to commute anywhere but I can't see it working with the average weather being 30C throughout the day and 20 being the average nights. I sweat like a pig too.
lose weight if you are fat. That's not even hot.
>100% humidity
oh, IDK.
It gets over 100F here and it's not so bad.
According to my BMI I'm smack middle of normal weight, but I've also recently had some major surgery and my weight can't seem to break 60kg.
I am over 100kg and can cope okay. I am not full white and half of my genes come from a very hot climate area, so that could be it too.
When I cut down to 90kg or so and run low calories the heat is even less of an issue.
Yeah, could be your surgery issue.
I hate going really slow too. On a road bike you are cruising at a good speed, but on a shitty bmx or mountain bike it is just sucky going so slow.
It's gay just like Arnold
Curbstomp a cyclist. Push a cyclist into a ditch. Honk at cyclists so they fall and get run over by a truck.
It's great when you have road bike like arnold on pic related. I am the wind. Fast as frick boy. I have great quad, ham, calves and gluteus workout. And it is cardio. I live in a small town and i can get faste than a car when i know all the shortcuts. One of the major downsides is haemorroid problem and it can't be driven in a bad weather. Also, some car drivers are intolerant bastards so you need to watch out for that too. Oh yeah, sometimes you can be invisible to BMW drivers and there is possibility to end up dead. Kill BMW owners, behead BMW owners, roundhouse BMW owner into concrete, slam dunk a BMW owner's baby into trashcan, crucify filthy BMW owners, defecate into BMW owner mouth ect..
same but change it to tesla drivers. theyre now top of the list for worst drivers in the world. i think they should all be sent to an internment camp tbqh.
Cycling is great but lycragays ruin it for everyone.
just be a jacked lycraCHAD instead
I bike a lot even though I have a car. I'm european though, so biking isn't looked down upon here. Its free cardio and it gets me where I want to go, plus you get to mog fatties for free.
It's mostly DYELs in spandex and plastic helmets that are homosexuals.
MountainbikeCHADs (like me) only use the designated cycling roads or the sidewalk.
I just got back from another cycling/tanning ride. I only cycle in the summertime when it's warm to show off my gains and mog the DYEL lycras and fatsos.
Overall cycling is very good cardio, next to swimming.
>sideWALK
do you notice anything, Black person?
Nobody walks in America
>implying you mog anyone with this twink body
Kek
you would mog about 95% of the population with that body (burgerland)
I smile everytime I read the news and another cyclist died underneath a lorry.
Cycling is such a based form of transport, especially in the summer. When you see a couple of people casually cycling along in the sun, it looks really really fun. I try to cycle for about an hour every other day
Honestly, never found a bike seat that didn’t make my taint hurt, and I’ve heard horror stories about pelvic nerve damage in pro cyclists.
No hate to other people who want to do it, it is good cardio.
I like WTB seats with wider pads. unironically road bikes can be pretty comfy since more of your weight is on your arms and less on the taint.
Mountain bikes with full suspension fixes that issue to if you have it.
Yeah it's prius drivers that can go fast and are even more entitled.
I only drive hands free meaning I sit upright and on my asscheeks
why is he wearing a fricking lifting belt while cycling?
YO WTF
>woman driving
to the surprise of no one
>Right turn only lane
>Went straight
The cyclist is unironically at fault in this one tho.
you are correct but hes clearly doing it to not block the straight lane and allow cars to pass (fair, and what most drivers would actually want). i think hes a fricking moron for even riding on a road like that though. looks like a highway.
moron.
No he is not.
I can bicycle 3-4 months of the year. Salt and snow break down the bicycle from mid sept to may.
Also, 280 days of rain/snow. Also, work is 15 miles away, and its only 5 miles of road safe for bicycles.
Would bike if i lived closer to the eqvator.
I have chicken legs and was told biking a lot might make it worse.
Bike uphill and start adding weight and wind resistance like saddlebags also eat more
Because gays co-opted the activity with unbreable cringe hipster bullshit. Also it is associated with city people (who everyone hates). Very unfortunate turn of events for cycling.
>cycling w a belt
wut a fkn dyel
A single accident leads you straight to the hospital, that's why.
Don't call me a pussy.
i fricking wiped myself out over handlebars on a trail yesterday, landed on my hands, and it was nothing
I have crashed over 100 times on my mountain bike.
Worst I got was a hip issue that can flare up if I sit wrong, or the time I blacked out.
The hip injury was on the road.
Don't know how you lift since a single lift can injure you permanently.
Don’t you mean motorcycle riders?
Is it much more dangerous than lifting?
I had 2 minor accidents that lead in bruising, just cause woman are moronic and never watch the lights
It's funny people say this shit about bike accidents. Motorcycles are the actual deathtraps.
i live in america, you need a car to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time and even if i could get to the gym on bike a Black person would just steal it while i'm lifting
There's nothing wrong with bikes.
>but most cyclists are morons
Yeah and? So are most people behind the wheel or on foot. Doesn't matter. Hell you can barely shop these days, people in supermarkets can't push SHOPPING CARTS right for fricks sake.
cyclists are the worst people, and the ones that aren't lycra addicts are anti-car weirdos that think the idea of people enjoying driving is literal fascism.
Nice projection
>projection
Go on /n/ anon, or better yet talk to these people. I have a friend that's like this. Nice guy otherwise but just an absolute moron that thinks cars are racist fascism.
cars are for fascists and racists.
>gas the bikes. race car now!
vroooooooooooom
If you don't have a truck, a tractor, a chainsaw, a flatbed trailer, and at least a 500 gallon diesel and gas tank then idk how you can say you are actually free.
Cycling is so much fun.
I can see why mentzer would do meth and go ride for 2 hours everyday
Don't get many opportunities to nowadays but always try to bike to the gym or hit a ride on Saturday mornings
I used to be one so i think i have some insight here
>Why does cycling get so much hate here?
- Douchebag culture based around expensive gear instead of actually putting the effort into being athletic
- Often composed of wealthy middle aged people who can afford to buy a $5000 carbon fiber bike
- Most cyclists are just people who are too lazy and out of shape to run
- Dangerous to themselves and others (frick people that ride on major roads)
- Adhere to their own set of rules/standards: Act as a "vehicle" when convenient and a "pedestrian" when convenient
- Frequently blow past people at high speeds in congested areas
cuz fit is full of morons dyel with a lil to none good advice, everyone that knew what they doing already left
This thread is a great example of bikes making people seethe for no good reason.
I don’t own a bike but all that anti-car propaganda on youtube is really convincing me we should use them more. Those yuros seem to be onto something.
>all that anti-car propaganda on youtube is really convincing me we should use them more
Car people seem to think that funding cycling and public transportation infrastructure means that cars will get immediately banned and taken away from them.
Why the frick should respectable country people care about improving the concrete homosexual shitholes?
They need more money for public transport so they can facilitate a more efficacious transportation of blacks to their various silly destinations.
oh yeah then how come theres literally a hundred black people hanging out at the car wash in the middle of the day doing nothing?
Sexplain, my homo. I'm not grasping the girth of your argument.
Let me see of I can make it very simple- literally the only thing I'd be in favor of doing to improve cities would be walling them off as prison colonies like on those Kurt Russel movies.
I think it’s more country bumpkins like this
getting confused.
Nobody is advocating to force rural people to start cycling 60 miles to their farm and back. But we usually assume it’s unnecessary to specify that we’re talking about already-urban areas because who with half a brain would think we’re not..?
Public transit and bikes should be the go-to traffic solution in places where it ALREADY sucks to drive.
Kek so in other words it's another episode of "city people cannot even fathom that anything beyond their concrete rainbow world actually exists" kek should have assumed as much sorry.
It’s closer to “rural people think they’re more important than they actually are”. But yeah same coin different sides.
Oh so you think you are important because you have to carry a Narcan kit around kek?
He's saying the focus on more efficient infrastructure is assumed to be relevant to the city first and foremost by default because the countryside typically doesnt get enough traffic for major changes to be nessecary.
Why does he assume people care about cities being more efficient at whatever it is they even do?
Well I meant technically you could but you can't ride it around in the woods and the distances are too far to be viable transportation to justify lanes etc. so what would be the point?
its just fun. you dont have to use it for transportation. its like going for a walk but faster. unless you have a legit psycho on the road or people blast those two lanes at 60 where youre from seems like youd be pretty safe too.
The roads where I live don't see many cars but yeah the occasional vehicle that does come through is hauling serious ass down these little two lane roads it would make me sort wary honestly.
If you are doing it for fun that's cool but I don't see what that has to do with being some kind of literal "freedom" silver bullet nonsense kek.
Because we know it will be. AFAIK, europoors actively get fined and shit for driving over a specific limit. Plus, the overreliance on globohomosexual trams makes the Black person epidemic MUCH worse for euros on top of the lack of actual gun rights for citizens.
No it won't. Netherlands is bike central and cars are allowed, it just give people freedom of choice how they want to get around.
Cars are gaining in popularity here, but white flight is also in full effect. I suspect the two are related.
you stated that people are seething over nothing, posted more bait and people are already biting this is great
Maybe if you homosexuals didn't block the road and act like tards.
Best way known to man to reduce your sperm count, short of vasectomy.
>get sweaty
>arrive to work/school/date/appointment covered in sweat
no
man, no one ever said show up to a date on a bike. lmao i kinda want to try it now. you would look so corny.
>get sweaty
That's a normal thing. Noone cares if you are sweaty or not, you're just an insecure homosexual.
Also they have showers at work and school almost everywhere for decades.
I respect people who are sweaty. Means they put in work.
used to do it all the time. Ready for class since you were wide awake and unless your first class is like 1pm, it's nice and cool so you dry off fast.
I just finished watching the Arnold doc a few minutes ago and this Is the first post I se in fit. I truly believe in synchronicity
I only have a bicycle because I'm too much of an autistic, anxious, shut-in moron to drive a car. I bike on main streets and all that shit. I don't wear the spandex, just a t shirt and shorts and usually a backpack. I'm also not one of the militant anti-car bicyclists who rages about infrastructure and that stuff. I really have no problem with cars or anything about them.
I ride a bike because I live in an actual city, which are almost nonexisting in usa. The average speed of a car here is lower than the bike's speed. If you're fit enough to ride at least 30k/h.
Everyone hates cyclists, including mountain bikers. That should tell you something. Maybe it was the people that got kicked out of 100 countries that were the problem, not the 100 countries
I cycle around my neighborhood for 20-30 minutes every morning before I eat. I have the same little route that I do every day and I try to do it as fast as possible. It's the key to visible abs
It would be more practical if I lived in a city, but you raise an excellent point, OP
>sitting down
>cardio
They're trying to fit in with hick, npc wagies. That's the new hip thing to do on IST, is to pretend you're some factory worker bible thumper who gets mad at everything and acts like a caricature of a racist from a Spike Lee movie.
