An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I broke the speed limit on my bicycle. I mean yeah, the speed limit was 15, and the motor on my bike tops out at 20, and I had to go looking for a speed limit lower than 25, and I wasn't pedaling, and the speedometer on my bike said 17.4mph. damn breaking the speed limit on your bike feels really good. I really accomplished something today.
Add one crime to the list. I'll take the ticket if you want to serve it online police i am proud
This is the kind of thing that highlights the difference between a normal childhood and what the kids where I grew up had. I don't know the fastest that we ever went on a bicycle but you can get some pretty good speed going straight down from a hilltop mine. No motors or anything, just a good solid huffy mountain bike and you can max out a bicycle speedometer quick.
OP needing an e-bike just to hit 17mph... Fuck, man. I can pretty easily hit 20-22mph on flat ground on my commuter bike ... and it's not even a fancy road racing bike or anything, just a steel-tube cruiser from the 90's.
I'm not going to mess with anyone for not being able to hit a certain speed or anything like that. OP says that the limitation is the type of bike they use but even if it wasn't there's plenty of reasons that someone may not have the same physicality as someone else that has nothing to do with who they are as a person.
I wasn't intending to mess with OP when I posted my reply either. We were a bunch dumbass kids flying down a very steep dirt road with no safety gear more than an hour from the nearest hospital. Looking back on my childhood and some of the ridiculous things that we did I'm surprised that we didn't have worse than a few broken bones.
My bike weighs like 100 pounds. It's a cargo bike. Also just a steel tube, but a bigger one.
