Nice

I’m glad your experience has been idyllic, but oftentimes things happen to people. Not unreasonable to carry an item the size of a banana to get out of a jam. Something I have used 4 times over the last 4 years riding in an urban setting. Really saved my butt out riding with my kid. Why sound so shitty on people? Different people experience different things.

You don’t sound shitty to your own eyes, but I’d wager others take it different. It reads as dismissive and combative.

People do it because no outcome is a lock; you can prepare all you want but you may get a flat.

And see? You dismissed me out of hand. Be kind. You don’t even know what kind of riding I’m doing, how long, where, or with what kind of child seat. I ride a lot in places that one could be commuting, to many different businesses/parks. The technical difference in my purpose makes little difference in how my bike physically interacts with roads/sidewalks.

Be cool man, if bikers in a bike forum can’t at least be chill we have NO chance against the cars.

What if your life is constantly slumping in well-being?

Fantastic 👍

I have this same phone and I like it.

What a chump.

Cool study, ty

Undoubtedly it is in fact that lizard brain response. We like to think we’re above that but we’re barely better than the rest of the animals sometimes.
