Thread 2030154

These guys passed you on the last big hill before the cafe. Didn't even take pulls.

What do you tell these Freds to not seem mad?

Damn! you guys are fast, are ya training for an event?

nothing, because i'm not a faggot that feels in competition with everyone else.

Seethe because my bike has metal toobs and rim brakes

I like roadies except when they all descend on the same cafe as me all at once when I haven't put in my order yet, seeing as it looks like they're almost done I'd just be like cool bikes bro how did you get so fast omg you're an inspiration and then go over and order my affogato

Interacting with strangers is gay and American. I just want my ice cream.

>nooooo im not as fast as the greatest cyclist of the 21st century and his super team i have to be mad!
id ask tadej for an autograph, and i'm asking you to kill yourself.

>>2030175
Is this really some super duper special team? Its funny because i have a 8k carbon roadbike with all the blink but i dont fucking care a single bit about bike races. I have no clue about fast pros except this armstrong guy from the 2000's.
Tried to watch some races like TDF or keirin races but its just boring as hell.

>>2030177
I don't know either and I have spent a lot of dough on bike stuff. I like watching the crashes though, bike racing is cool it's just too much effort to find out how to watch it, so I don't

since they're all in matching kit they're obviously a team and there's no way anyone else who isn't on a sponsored team could ever keep up with them so I wouldn't feel bad at all.
I'd wave hello non-committally as I dismounted my really old bike and if I got any response I'd try chatting; not sure those guys would be interested and that's fine, I'm not interested in the race scene at all but if they were friendly we could talk about our bikes, that's always fun.

what do you mean they didn't even take pulls?
if they passed you immediately then there was a wheel there for you to suck and the pulls from them would have been indefinate, what, are they all riding behind you on your wheel for 5km and then doing some kind of team attacking strategy? Ridiculous.

>>2030177
>Is this really some super duper special team

Yes. It's the best world tour team in terms of points scored and they have the 3 time winner of the tour de France.

There are essentially 2 elite teams, 10 competitive teams and 8 bottom feeders.

>>2030258
Ok wow but they all look like malnourished twinks tho.
How can they be the best if they look like they havent eaten in a week? Or lifted one weight in their entire lives?

>>2030281
Because endurance athletes are slim lad

Big muscles are only beneficial in some forms of sport not all

>>2030281
Watts/kg

t. hambeast who thinks he's strong because he can put 6 pl8 on the leg machine and half rep it for hours while inhaling the free planet fitness pizza

>>2030281
You will die of a heart attack

>>2030402
This is a hambeast now?
Cope more, skeleton, you will never have real power, you're just an endurance slave doing 500km climbs at ridiculously slow speeds.

>>2030294
Breakdance is also a "sport", and the people who practice it usually are black or brown. That doesn't automatically make black or brown people good, respectable or less of a target to be made fun of.

>>2030501
Cippolini couldn't climb at all! That's why he was awesome at sprinting in the drug era but could never finish a tour de france. He would get caught by the broomwagen that eliminates slow riders.

>>2030501
are we doing that thing where we ran out of arguments so we post google image photos of celebrities hoping we will acquire some of their powers that will help in the internet argument? because I find your choice odd personally, I would have gone for a pretty girl. picrel is my larp choice

wa la I am now a pretty girl, if you disagree with me you lack "rizz" and are probably an incel, you incel

Nothing more satisfying than blowing past some faggot lycra clad boomer dentist group on their 10k carbon fibre meme machines on my budget ass ebike wearing shorts and flip flops. You can feel the SEETHE directed at your back.

>>2030704
you are a very negative person
it's really sad to see what flip flops do to people

>>2030506
>Cippolini couldn't suck dicks at all! That's why he was awesome at actual sports but could never finish a dick sucking marathon
You are very much right, and I am glad you are.

>>2030967

Yea yea everyone who works out is they. Move along crazy

Go ride your bike
Oh, wait

YIMBYs and people that don't leave the house pretty much ruined /n/.

Where do you guys go now to talk bikes is there another forum? Or do I have to touch grass and go to the LBS to talk bikes

>>2030154 (OP)
"I'm tired from fucking all your moms"

>>2030978
the entire internet fucking sucks now, there's no place to go. nobody talks about things they like, it's all just 24/7 screaming about whatever the outrage mill told us to hate based on our psychometric profile, and of course bots

why does dressing like you have a sealed juvenile criminal record for coasting down the hill in the MTB park not get the same kind of hate that wearing comfortable cycling clothes gets for riding a bike all day, sealed juvenile criminal record is not more comfortable and serves no real purpose other than to advertise your low IQ, poor impulse control, and having a well connected dad who knows who to call and bully into burying whatever shoplifting and statutory rape convictions you did before 18

>>2033752
what the fuck is this post trying to say

>>2030154 (OP)
I don't like talking to corporate branded "people"
And if your bike isn't personalized/customized then I really have zero interest at all
I don't give a fuck if anyone passes me so long as that's all they do
I'm sure they would like to think all bike riders are similar but I just loathe competitive people, they're so annoying

>>2033752
i hate lycra faggots and mtb faggots. you're welcome.

>>2033975
It is merely a based pants hater pondering his lot in life

leave it to unracers to be mad that a professional road racing team led by the fastest guy in the world made him feel slow

>>2036249
It's a joke retardo. It was a cool picture.

who watches the bikes?

where's my boy gross shart

>>2030704
I don't seethe when cars pass
unless they're asshoels and try to clip me
why would I seethe when motorcycles pass?

>>2038836
You're fooling no one

>>2030704
This is the kinda shit my friend with an ebike used to say to cope.
But now he’s been riding more, losing weight and getting faster, nothing like this has come out of his mouth for a while. Now he’s wearing lycra and trying to buy a bike without a motor. Proud of the guy

it's 40 years later, the last breakdancer is in a nursing home, and some weirdo boomer is mad about the blacks and their break dancing on a mongolian urban planning board

>>2038732
everyone knows what would happen if they stole one so they don't need locks

I don't seethe when anyone passes me because I'm just happy to be going faster than walking/running speed. As long as I'm passing padestrians I know I'm not wasting my own time

Pogacar will be retired before this thread 404s

>>2033752
Because downhill is fucking rad and you're a pussy

>>2052168
???? Roadies go downhill all the time, how do you think they get back down after going uphill?

But going downhill after taking the chair lift just seems sad, I don't see the point, but I'm not obese so maybe that would help me understand better. Like people who don't seem to mind eating entirely out of cardboard boxes and 2L bottles of soda.

Tbh I wish there was somewhere I could get a tram to the top and just ride down descending is the only fun part of road riding
