Get your bicycles now

Great idea. I was just thinking of buying a motorcycle, but a motorized bike would be perfect for running down the street a few miles. You could even keep it in the back of a pickup truck in case the grid gets hit. At least you would have a faster way to get home. They even make bikes that can fold in half for easy storage.

There is a bike shortage unless younwant chinese stuff

You'll be an easy target on a bicycle or a motorcycle.

I saw a really beefy scooter I could live with, It had a big cushy seat...very sturdy...looked like a top speed of 35 MPH.

I would guess something like that would get atleast 50 MPG.

I'm in the heart of a small town so I'm within walking distance of a good deal of things. One is even a small grocery store. I even have family in walking range.

Don't forget the plying card in the spokes.

Goto thrift shops (preferably not good will) I've found amazing Japanese bikes from the 70-80's that are very well built!

Shudda thunk about this when Brandon was "elected".
I have 2 Schwinn Cruisers, garbage sales, Sping of '21. Only cost me the equivalent of 2 gallons of gas now, SUCKAZ!

Maybe high gas prices will force America back into shape?

Might be a good thing!

Ive got a TREK marlin so Im good.

Word of advice get a REAL bike.. not walmart or academy BS. they will destroy your body.

Real bikes im talking about are like Giant, GT, Specialized, and Trek. They are pretty expensive, but you will the difference in the ride near immediately, and will not destroy your back and knees

Yeah, like that couple in the news recently who went to a concert/event and planned to drink so left their vehicle at home and rode their bicycles there and back except they did not get back as both of them had their throats slit en route.

Make each spoke revolution count.

there might be so many new bicycles on the road the police will get in on the action and pull over bicycles and issue seat violations and impeding traffic

Where?

Mine is a basic Trek from the early 2000s. I didn't know if it was any good or not, so that's good to know. It had paint overspray all over it so I just gave it a quick spray. It covered the lettering and everything. Maybe less theft advertising lol.

Got a new chain as the old one was rusted from sitting outside for years. Wasn't too expensive or hard to get on, once I figured out how to route the thing around that "derailer"! And I just ground down the rivet and pounded it out, saved a few bucks on a removal tool. Adjusted the brakes so they don't drag too much.

Need to get a tube or fix the tube that leaks. For $5, I might just get a new tube and patch the old one as a spare. Tires had some cracking that didn't go through, so I put some E6000 (like shoe goo) on it for now. Trying not to spend a bunch of $$. It might not be the "ideal fix", but then I thought about the condition of some of the tires I had to run on my car and much greater speeds...

An ebike is too much for me right now, but I'd like to do a basic retrofit kit with the front (or rear) tire with the built-in electric motor for a boost when I need it.

Crazy. Must be this story:


Yeah I think that's a possibility for all of us every time we leave the house in clown world, sometimes at home. If "lockdown" taught us anything, it's the amount of risk vs. reward we have to be willing to handle. You can't just lock yourself up out of fear. You do your best to be safe and keep others safe.

Too bad they were trying to do the right thing too. This world really is due for a bit of house cleaning.

can't get an impeding ticket in the right lane

only center and left lane

thank the archaic 1920s law for that
- slower traffic keep right

I carry an extendable baton on my bike, mostly for dogs but sometimes I find myself in sketchy areas with homeless criminal types so it's handy for that too, also carry a razor sharp Beretta lock-blade as backup. If shit keeps deteriorating I'll have to start carrying my .380 Bersa Thunder.

Get a SOLO electric car instead !

mine is ready in a storage room. the day is coming.
