Folx, I have the blues tonight and I'd like to talk about bicycles.

      Honestly I haven’t even heard much resistance, besides maybe some jabs about heavier people riding them.

      That's good, allthough I have to admit not reflective of the cycling bubble I've been keeping tabs on.

      Winter is a weakness (winters are brutal here) but I think it could still potentially be doable (I’d probably get studded tires for ice safety, but I know a guy who biked all winter even without).

      This is sort of the insane thing where getting & driving a fuck-off big 4x4 is seen as the reasonable option, but getting an E-Fatbike (no one wants to overcome that kind of rolling resistance) is seen as a rich peoples toy .

      As for the rest; yeah. Infrastructure problem, pretty much. You know how this site is pretty much train gang? It fucking rules to take a bicycle on a train to ride somewhere else.
