That's not how you should angle bull ... ah fuck it.

Bicycling update : New E-Bike Introduced By Audi [Source] by Sshkin bicycling

[–]CressCrowbits 1 point2 points ago

None of any of this makes any sense.

Edit - I'm going to expand on that.

  1. I'm guessing the article is auto-translated or something, or the writing on this site really is that terrible.
  2. Where is the saddle?
  3. Why the fuck would anyone want an electric assist full suspension mountain bike? What use is an electric motor when doing downhilling?
  4. Where the fuck is the saddle?
  5. Haven't experiments in early bike suspension shown that having the front suspension inverted doesn't work and gets gunged up?
  6. Seriously though, did you actually invest that much time and money into a bicycle design and forget to include a saddle?
  7. What the hell is going on with the crank length? How are supposed to get any leverage on pedalling?
  8. WHERE IS THE FUCKING SADDLE BIKES NEED A SADDLE YOU FUCKING IMBECILES! HAVE ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY TRIED RIDING THIS THING?!?
  9. WHERE IS MY MEDICATION?!?!?

"Bicycles Included" by geoman2kin bicycling

Speed limits only apply to motor vehicles here in the UK.

Not that I'm capable of breaking them anyway :(

And I think you just answered your own question.

This advice was taped to my favorite bike rack the other day! by monicamlmin bicycling

[–]CressCrowbits 0 points1 point ago

Lesson = people should look and signal before before maneuvering, no that they shouldn't wear headphones.

Also that cyclists should give each other plenty of room before overtaking. If you could see she was wearing earbuds, then what the fuck were you doing making a maneuver based on her being able to hear your shouting?

If you are going at any speed or in any wind, no one can hear you anyway. You shouldn't be attempting to communicate your decision to overtake, you should just be overtaking with plenty of room. You wouldn't expect every driver to beep at you to let you know they are overtaking.

Maxim shows shitlords how to 'cure' feminists. Spoiler: With enforcing gender binaries and other poop. by Foxy_Cleopatrain SRSBusiness

[–]CressCrowbits 4 points5 points ago

It HAS to be satire, surely? Get the shitlords in by thinking they are going to 'cure' feminists, actually put them in a position where they end up learning about and understanding feminism. Shitlord = cured?

Unreal Engine 4 - first screenshots with long article by Psykocyberin gamedev

[–]CressCrowbits 0 points1 point ago

I remember when I first saw shots of UE3. I think it was shots of one of the enemies from GoW (or early prototype) in some kind of mountainous, gothic environment with stain glass windows casting coloured light. Come to think of it, it may have just been very early shots from Gears Of War.

Bear in mind this is around the time when the PS2 and Xbox were still slugging it out and doing impressive stuff. I was blown away by what I saw.

Hoping to have been similarly impressed and excited by this but ... shit just looks like Skyrim or something.

I don't think I've seen anything that has made me go "wow" since Crysis.

Professional MTB rider Chris Akrigg's first time on a fixie. He does okay. by Shankleyin FixedGearBicycle

[–]CressCrowbits 1 point2 points ago

Repost and it is NOT the first time the guy has ridden a fixed gear bike. A 700c wheeled 'fixie' maybe, but it had been firmly established in previous posts that the guy had ridden 26" wheeled FGFS bikes and BMXs extensively in the past.

Also those Mongoose bikes are bloody awful.

Good to have more pics of you actually riding the bike.

There's got to be ways to get great photos which show the bike and rider in action and still be great photos AND be sexy.

Something like that one in the middle of the set that was one you posted yesterday with you sat over the bike, one foot up in the air by the saddle (I think it's shot 13 in that set) - fucking brilliant photo. Now imagine how awesome that shot would be if the only thing different was that at that point you were pulling a skid.

Guess it would be harder to get the shot right what with it being in motion, but get it right and the results would be amazing.

Sexy bike + sexy rider = great

Sexy bike + sexy rider + sexy riding = ULTIMATE SEXY

Britain: 50 policemen raided seven addresses and arrested 6 people for making 'offensive' and 'anti-Semitic' remarks on Facebook by Anonymootedin worldnews

[–]CressCrowbits 16 points17 points ago

I would have hoped reddit would have been a little more sceptical and thought "hmm, perhaps we don't know the whole story here"

You must be new here.

/r/londontouristproblems: Everytime the lady voice on the Picadilly line said "Cockfosters" I giggled weirdly in front of everyone. by ctolsenin london

[–]CressCrowbits 3 points4 points ago

I have the opposite reaction on any bus that passes down Whetstone highstreet (north of Finchley in the tedious suburbs of Barnet). The main stop on the High Street the announcer states "Athenaeum Road".

Except they pronounce it "A-theen-eum Road".

IT'S A-THAN-A-UM!!! Goddamnit.

A nsfw picture of a beautiful transgender woman: "Oh god why" [+277/-133] by eslicein ShitRedditSays

[–]CressCrowbits 37 points38 points ago

When are the people in r/wtf going to get over the fact that transgender people exist, and that some of us are hot?

This is currently top comment at +280

Has Reddit undergone a damascene moment? I suspect more a glitch in the matrix. I expect to be imminently surrounded by hundreds of redditors in black suits all syncopatedly chanting "yes but what about my penis?"

UK Tips by nomad246in FixedGearBicycle

[–]CressCrowbits 1 point2 points ago

Whereabouts in the UK are you?

Check the LFGSS forum. If you are in London you'll find yourself a decent second hand set within a week. Bit longer if outside. Guy on there called Varno makes good quality (if rather heavy) wheels by hand for cheap.

Otherwise, see whats on offer on Planet X's website.

How about that? (Charge Plug Classic 2012) by limpiin FixedGearBicycle

Charge Slice bars are FAR too massive, unless you plan to just use them like you would flat bars with bar ends rather than like the hoods on drops.

My Costco is selling Big Shot fixed gear bikes for $300. Can r/FixedGearBicycle tell me if I am making a mistake or talk me out of it? by theMadBicyclistin FixedGearBicycle

Yikes from that thread it says the rims are made from STEEL.

Good luck braking in the wet.

I'm not sure what's more douchbag hipster - Cinelli or Leader?

Actually with their Mash sponsorship I'll go with Cinelli.
