dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

The experts interviewed generally agree that competitive or serious recreational cyclists should aim for the stiffest shoe their budget will allow, but more casual riders will benefit from a less efficient, but more comfortable, shoe.

You can't argue with aerodynamics and power transfer.

UCI had to outlaw these.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

this is a random post I stole from /r/bicyclingcirclejerk but also just buy wooden clogs and then drive some screws in. It's wood, that's super easy

he probably won't use home made bicycle gear, his bike costs more than his partners car. Darn

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

DIY that shit and sell it to him for 300% upcharge then. Donate half to charity

thonk

How much would it cost to get a person to design or copy a realistic looking brand sticker to put on it. I could fleece this guy pretty hard. But also hes a lawyer so it might not end well for me.

Do clogs even have brands?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Bike stuff does.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

like 3 eurobucks for a single sticker. gets cheaper per pcs if you order more but I'm feeling that's not the goal here

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

No I'm only gonna run like two scams top.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

there's nothing in the world that a bike could ever do that should make it more expensive than a car and that's including "it drives for you and sucks you off the whole time" and i don't care whatever UM AKSHUALLY is about to come my way. That's stupid.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)
