My body hurts. I burned the calorie equivalent of a pizza. Life is good.

    Upbeared for bikes. Bikes are so fun. There is surprisingly little bike-posting on this sub.

    Bikes are good for your body, good for the environment, good for the soul. Comrades if you are able-bodied and don't own a bike seriously what are you doing?

    During COVID going for a bike ride with a friend is like the last safe way to hang out.

    You get hotter by riding your bike around, you arrive at the party with a lovely glow that says "I didn't use fossil fuels to get here I used my cool-ass body".

    But mostly biking is just super damn fun.

      Love bikes. I think dentists on 10k road bikes give the sport a bad rap.

      I know it’s linking to r*ddit, but /r/xbiking has sick inspo for cobbling together functional, fast, and fun rides.

      That said, just checked xbiking and the community is filling up with stock bikes over $1000, which is annoying.

        I've been urban cycling for 25 years and have never had a bike worth more than $750. Honestly I wouldn't even want one - I'd start to worry about it getting stolen and not take it literally everywhere I go.
