  • By choice, dingus.

    I don’t have that option. Big Ole difference. Maybe give everyone Lyme disease so they develop red meat allergies and we can talk

    Okay. You want me to double down? I won’t eat at vegan places most of the time. Here’s the thing: vegetables are delicious. So why?

    Vegans will support a vegan place no matter what and will talk it up as being amazing even if it sucks. I’ve been burned being told, “oh. That place is so good” and it’s just a matter of vegans circling the wagons and propping up a place that serves a lazy impossible burger with fake plastic cheese on it. Y’all ain’t accountable and it makes it difficult taking vegan food seriously. No wonder y’all’s food has an inferiority complex






  • Or that close down entire roads just so they can race one another

    How often do you actually get caught behind a crit race? Maybe twice a year tops in some cities? Where I live marathoners fuck up traffic far worse and more often but somehow they don’t arouse the same vitriol.

    Cyclists have every right to be on the road. We pay the same taxes, but this attitude is why I get menace passed and have coal rolled on me every couple of weeks. Show a video of acyclist following the law but getting hit on a bike and the comments section is people saying they deserved it. If I ride my mountain bike on trails away from cars the horse people and hikers get up in arms. I guess I should just fuck myself, eh?









  • Some of that shit is fucking dangerous. At the height of the EPO (EPO being a hormone which increases red blood cell production and makes the chuckledick system more efficient) era of pro cycling, the rumor was some pros had to wake up in the middle of the night and get on a trainer because they’d gotten their blood so viscous that they risked getting clots of they stayed in one spot too long.

    Also, if you do it wrong you’ll absolutely fuck yourself up. Riccardo Ricco Basically gave himself kidney failure because he infused blood which he’d kept in fucking mini fridge.

    It’s not like elite athletes aren’t already on weird shit normal people would never consider… they’re on plenty of gear but what’s allowed is already regulated. A lot of pros toe the line, some in better faith than others. The line is there for safety and because it would be a headache letting things be a free for all. People would get hurt and plenty of prospective athletes would be turned off if you have to be dangerously juiced just to compete







  • Entry level racing bikes are about $3-5k these days. That’s a top end Pinarello with custom paint. It might be $15k, but it’s probably closer to $10-$12k with those wheels.

    I’m the guy who puts my $8k mountain bike on the back of my 20 year old shitbox Honda when I drive to the trails
