Andre Jute Cosmopolitan Right. If the U.S.A. is so bad then why are so many trying so hard to get into it and are willing to risk their lives to do so? Cheers Unfortunately too many are coming here because of welfare and free housing. Which state was even giving them free cars for transportation. Before when people came here they worked or starved. That's not the case anymore and that is the major reason for that gigantic influx. Sure, a lot of them, maybe most are coming here because this is still the land of opportunity. But there are too many coming here because of what they can get and not what they can contribute. |

Andre Jute Justdafaxmam If you want fatter, then you go with the G-Road: https://breadwinnercycles.com/product/g-road/#frame Breadwinner has a lot of models, and its one of the zillion custom or semi-custom builders in Portland. The deal is we have the United Bicycle Institute frame-building program in town which seems to churn out a lot of people who want to be Bohemian artisinal bicycle frame builders. https://www.bikeschool.com/ They come and go, but Breadwinner and its two core builders have been around for a long time. -- Jay Beattie. |

snip Too many bicycles in Portland. I passed some guy on my way home who yelled that I should call out a pass. Why? Do cars call out passes. You ride straight. I go by. Done. I wanted to say "you've just been passed by some decrepit old guy. You need to quit whining and work on your fitness." I was crawling home into a howling wind up hill, so it's not like I was going 100mph. I think he had about four helmet mirrors, so I don't know what additional information yelling would have provided. This will solve your problem: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lQzqFe5Uh37CxncGwUAuxDb2IEJnktzBHtSS478uvpg I have this setup on the bicycle I use to go to the store. It's mounted under the front Porteur rack, fairly concealed. A few honks on this and that millenial that was complaining about you will no longer be complaining. |
