Whenever any sort of disinformation, fake news and propaganda is discussed I feel like all the talk about it always get's stuck on it's existence. Like "the russians are spreading misinformation in europe" or whatever. Which, sure, they do, how the fuck is there no talk about what to do of it?

Cause the way I see it, there's two options, either there's no more russia or whatever other rivaling hegemonial power follows up, forever, or alternatively you ask the question about why the fuck this shit lands in the first place and make sure it doesn't

Pictured here is a Van Raam, who make some other bicycles for people with disabilities, but they're hardly the only one. I think it's cool people are doing things like this. They are, sadly, rather pricey.

You get a nice box in the back or whatever but it's not really THAT much bigger than a box you could fit on any old regular bicycle

You can plop like two children there but then you can do that with Long Johns and 3-wheelers and such, too and ALSO you have the fuckoff-big box. They don't really seem all that shorter than comparable versions either.

Anyone got one or know why someone got one?

It's the Kenyan Kalendjin for marathons and then also the most noam-chomsky-as-of-today-looking rich white guy on a 10.000€ bicycle. Interesting split!

Quote by some random cycling guy in /r/de that stuck with me.

It was in response to some carbrain malding their shit over the fact that you are legally allowed to undertake cars stopped at a red light in the same lane on the right in germany, if you're on a bicycle.

A Randonneur is a long distance travel bike just for context.

The VSF stuff is usually solid, albeit entirely too heavy, but I gotta say, a randonneur in british racing green? I want one.

Just noticed I've never heard them discussed here. Surly basically invented them and called them the Corner Bars, but given it's "bits of metal pipes" you can get some without the name branding now. They're supposed to give you like a drop bar-esque experience except without changing out all the controls and most likely drivetrain, so if you ever wanted to try one, maybe this is interesting for you. You might have to readjust some cables or hydraulic lines.

I post this here because I feel like "how do I convert my flat bar into a drop bar" is a very common question in the bicycle world and while it is possible, it is often sort of not very advisable unless you like wrenching on your bike

I'm curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would've been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

Been meaing to post about this, this a reconstruct of some fossil in the Rhineland-Palatinate which, for obvious reasons, made quite the rounds on the german internet for a while

I mean look at it. It's great. Reportedly the scientific artists responsible for this picture was quite pleased with it getting meme'd

Correct, yes I do, stop reminding me because then I am reminded of all the times i have to hear some drivel about rules based international order, rogue states or racism from someone who doesn't

Yes, this is from /r/fixedgearbicycle

Odd sentence, ain't it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.

The other half is "some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out", which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?
