Tell me about your Bicycle

[Sir Napsalot]

I would sell my bicycle for what I paid for it- $10

It's a vintage FUJI 10-speed in good condition

I cleaned and lubed the derailleur as well as all the cables- the gears work flawlessly

 

[Sir Napsalot]

It has a newer gel seat, but will probably need tires

Yeah. Like it sounds. I know at least a few members here ride. I'd love to hear about your experience. What type of riding you do, what kinda bike you use, any upgrades or hacks you've done to it. Pictures are a huge plus!

@Laughing Grass @sarahJane211 are the ones that come to mind off the bat. But please! Don't be shy!

Personally, I have recently gotten into Ebikes. I already built a cruiser with a 1000w front hub motor and an 18ah battery. But now I'm looking into building a "gravel" bike. Fat tire 7 speed with the capability to ride on gravel roads, fire breaks, the beach, etc. It will also be a powered bike, but with a mid-drive motor powering the drivetrain eventually to get the maximum amount of torque out of it.


Oh, mods, please don't move this to the Fitness section. You know as well as I do that that is a death sentence for a thread here on RIU...lol

I have an old Schwinn Varsity 10 speed. I haven't rode it in awhile tho.

Ship it to California? I’d add it to the collection

Some douche came up on me on a mini bike and spooked me/ he had on a helmet with horns on his helmet/ I made it further than ever! It’s hot out but the winds have died down here: red flag warning all over the bay the last few days. Peace out

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Happy trails. This was at the end of the trail. That little bastard on the electic mini bike was stalking me. I had my mace ready but might need to up my weapons .something quick for defense . Any recommendations?

Get one of these, then have someone out of state send you the pepper powder balls for it, since they won’t ship them to CA. No license required

Can you kill someone in self-defense?

Can you kill someone in self-defense?

Not really in the USA…not unless you can prove your life was in imminent danger. Depends on the laws state by state. Some are more lax than others with their “stand your ground” laws.

I watched some YouTube videos for it . It’s not going to work for me, but thanks for the suggestion.
It would be cool if they made an iphone that is also a stun gun.

That's not what I was asking

34 miles this weekend. Los Gatos creek trail and the coastal trail Monterey to Marina.

I always tell my wife and kids “ if you have to shoot someone, just make sure there’s only one side of the story to be told “ . Only one side, no counter argument, tell it once and only once and don’t change it no matter how many ways you are asked.

My bike was stolen. It was locked in a bike cage and then someone cut my lock and stole it. I am trying to get surveillance video footage.

That sucks, I'm sorry. You can make a claim under your home or content insurance if it makes sense depending on the value of the bike and your deductible.

Thanks LG. It does suck. I really liked the bike and had added a bunch of accessories to make it ride well. I have been in touch with my renters insurance and will think about filling a claim. I have a $250 deductible and bought the bike used on offer up for $220 but then I put a lot of money into it with ergonomic grips, a new seat, a tune up, special puncture resistant tubes, handlebar riser, cell phone mount, tire repair kit. So a couple hundred added after I purchased it.
