An ideas for an anti nigger system?
i wore a rain suit, light version of motorcycle bibs, works ok for rain, really to break the wind when its cold, dry socks and work boots in my backpack, tshirt too just in case rain is real bad, nothing is impervious... have warm stuff on standby at the job, just suffer wet pants for a few hrs, gloves are a given, unimportant to control "feel" so thickness can be whatever keeps you warm battery cycle sucks with lithium, expensive to replace if your commuting daily, cant harvest used cells anymore because "internet" engine is loud, draws undue attention, fuel needs, but much more practical, location dependent on powersource choice no suspension.. just big fat tires you can air down if needed, suspension is complicated and stupid on a light cuckcycle.. see example below seating is subjective, fully driven no pedaling, recumbent is comfy, but low, risk of out of sightlines and instant in traffic tbone, pedal assisted is difficult to gauge, spent some bux on a fancy seat that doesnt restrict movement, but doesnt zap the taint... nothing is comfy about bicycle cucking, even if its motorized... you really gotta like bike cucking to commit to it as a utility, i became extremely angry during my extent of commuting on one because i had to... *tldr edit, i commuted 12 miles each way 6 days a week for 5 years... it fucking sucks no matter what... sorry for the effort post Nugger https://i.poastcdn.org/7c66cedc0643a89c1fd4eb5bd9cf9fadaffe2142e696dcaf705c304bab0c4078.png
@nugger To point 4: A decent general purpose bike will be able to handle offroading perfectly well. I know this because I grew up doing just that. You don't need a specialized mountain bike, you just need a bike that's not a dedicated street bike with skinny wheels. Skinny wheels suck anyways, even a little bit of gravel on the road is enough to make them slip to the point of being unsafe. A bigger issue is how bikes handle snow and especially ice. In that they don't. Every time you see someone riding a bike in show it's old hard packed snow that is probably less than a foot deep. That's effectively the same terrain as sand on rock, if even better than that. To use a bike in winter as general purpose transportation it has to be able to handle multiple inches (up to a foot even!) of fresh powder on top of multiple feet of old snow and sheets of black ice randomly distributed across the pavement.
