I’ve wanted to get into bikepacking for years, but I’ve always been concerned about how I’d be able to ride for multiple days. I was on a cycling team in college and the longest ride I’ve done is about 70 miles, after which I was toast and my butt was really sore. Obviously this is different than bike touring, but it still makes me wonder how others do it.

Do you take a lot of breaks throughout the day? Or is it more just conditioning yourself and building “callouses” (for lack of a better word haha). I’m pretty sure my pelvic bones are positioned right on my saddle, but maybe I need a different one.

I have no strong feelings one way or the other!

Kinda saw the writing on the wall the past few years, but damn. That’s a big part of my childhood right there

I remember reading a book about this hacker student kid that would do that to sneak out of the school because they had gait recognition cameras. Can’t remember the name of the book though…

My dad was recently telling me that (in the USA) headlights were regulated to something like 130 watts (or amps, idk. It was something about the amount of power used by the bulbs). This was back when halogen bulbs were used for headlights, and there was an effort to try and pump the most amount of brightness out of them while staying within the power limits.

Then LED became more and more common and that power limit was basically a nonissue. Manufacturers could then turn up the brightness as much as they wanted and that’s why headlights are such a problem now

Dude you’ve got the complete opposite problem I do. My text game is dog shit, I’m much more of an in-person kinda guy

Is there a way to easily add photos to comments? I’m using the IOS version, curious is anyone had any suggestions.

Idk about you guys, but I typically don’t watch other people wipe their ass lol

Wait, so when I politely “ask app not to track”, they might still be tracking me? No way!

[-] [email protected] 65 points 6 months ago

Wow that’s ridiculous.

Makes me think of how it’s nuts that women are forced to wear skirts in tennis still.

Because chopsticks would just be silly

Or hell, drink it straight from the cow and swish it around like mouthwash until it forms into cheese

It started off as a Dat Boi/Pepe costume (I literally rode to the party of my unicycle) then I just did random stuff on the tie
