I suppose it's okay if you say so.

indyfabz

You suppose?

Your entertainment value is waning.

seypat

You wear hi-viz and camouflage together? Sounds counter productive.

frogman

Thanks for the info. I will try the camo.

Did not cross my mind I have entertainment value because every time I'm debating or arguing with anyone, I never get likes. Someone makes a so-so reply to my post and they get two rows of likes, my goodness!

If motorists might hit my camo shorts, they won't because they would see my high vis shirt and bike.

indyfabz

That's not uncommon with your type of trolling. At least you are getting the attention you obviously crave.

Time to update the iggy list and then take a ride on my all black bike with those deadly rim brakes.

Agree and Im seeing lots more rainbow and tie die jerseys and shirts these days

Sorry, it’s the big state park rails-to-trails conversion that runs across Missouri, along the old MKT line.

That should tell you something.

You ignore a lot of history when you doubt the effectiveness of rim brakes. I can see benefits of discs, but I see no point in spending a couple of $1000 for a bike that doesn't ride as well or fit me as well as my 1973 Reynolds 531 bike, especially since I don't ride in the rain very much at all.

You'll probably get likes if you show respect for experience or for posts that tell you, with backup, things you don't know.

Dark clothes don't make much sense to me, except that bright colors with patterns can disappear when the road is lined with trees and the day is sunny. Maybe it's just me, but when driving, I've sometimes had to look with real concentration at a small part of what's in front of me to distinguish between some bike riders and just patterns of shade and sun.

Because it solves a non-existent problem while creating other bigger issues.

GhostRider62

Because you try to force your uninformed opinion too forcefully, which is not a good recipe. It seems that you are a novice. Many here have been many, many decades of experience and you treat us like we know nothing, so, "no soup for you"

I'm trying to be helpful here because I really think you're mystified why your posts are so disliked.
You don't "debate", you make assertions that indicate everyone but you is wrong about pretty much everything. When challenged on these assertions, you can't defend them, you just restate them and add even more ludicrous assertions.
And seriously, I don't wear black while riding, but I found your judgmental nonsense about people who do extremely annoying. You're an extreme case of someone who is always telling everyone who does anything different than you that they are doing it wrong, and you've included what they eat, what colors they wear, what kind of brakes they have, how they pedal, and pretty much their entire riding style as things you see fit to define for other people.

There's nothing wrong with telling people how you ride, you get in trouble when you start telling other people how they should ride, especially when they're not asking you.

Hey OP, after 5 pages have you decided on what color you're going to wear while cycling ???

mschwett 

i doubt he has, they only sell the stuff in black it seems! 😅

Well, I just have to say that I've learned from him not to eat tarantulas. That's worth a lot.

I am super curious to hear about why you have ZIPP2001 on your jersey, jacket, car tires, and username. Its a frame from a quarter century ago...not really something you see people plaster on clothing and tires. Did you help design the banned frame or something?

What on earth does your first comment about movies actually mean? Wearing all black is not something new- its been around for decades. Audrey Hepburn famously rocked all black. Beatnik stereotype clothing in my mind is black with a black beret. Gary Player feverishly walked golf courses in all black. I could pull pictures from the last 7 decades of fashion and pop culture to show how it isnt a new look and it definitely isnt associated with bad current movies.

As for your second comment- you have really often seen motorcycles that ran into a cyclist and then become angry? If someone sees that scenario more than once in their life it would be surprising, yet you often see it?

livedarklions

Well, in case you change your mind, the photo alone is absolutely mouth-watering (I think that's water in my mouth, anyway):

Myself, I'm working on a plant-based tarantula substitute. I'll keep you posted.

Johnny Cash even wrote a song about it.

So I take it you are not an arachnid-tarian.

If that user isn't a sock for Cube, then they're at least from the same drawer.

Maybe time to be more fashion forward - all white on an all black bike.



(Needs whit shoes and socks though for a pro-look.)

+1. That's definitely going down the other side.
