fun/n/y stories

Silly /n/ things that happened to you. In high school my dad was messing around with his air compressor after school. He offered to pump my tire up for some reason, and I agreed. So this guy starts pumping my tire up and walks away and does some other nonsense and he blows my tire up. He never learn...

A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country. While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a h...

I will be traveling to Moab in October and want to do some mountain biking. I have the stamina to ride for 7+ hours, but have never done so at elevation or in the desert heat. Besides making sure my bike in good condition, what else do I need with me to go on some of these rides? are flats common? d...

I stopped riding bikes around 2015. Became a cagie and got fat. Recently my son wanted to start riding bike. I went out and bought a cheap 95 specialized rockhopper. Replaced the shocks with a ridgid fork, got new flats to replace the plastic pedals. But when I went to my local bike shop to get some...

What is the intent behind statements like "I'm not a cyclist, I'm just a person who gets around by bike"? At a surface level it is obviously meant to (proverbially) throw other cyclists under the bus, but to what end? Would it somehow appease the anti-bike people if the person "blocking traffic" di...

why do kayaks not have sails? longboats had sails and rowers, worked out pretty well. with a counterweight at the bottom, some ballast water, perhaps with pumps to balance it out you could put a sail on a kayak.

What would be the impact of just banning cars from the roads every Sunday, and letting people freely ride their bikes, walk down the roads, letting children play in the street?

Why do sleeper trains still exist?

They're the definition of cattle class. They're slow, expensive, and you're sleeping in a tiny room with total strangers. Any sleeper route can be better served by a low-cost airline, and cheaper to boot. Sleeper trains made sense in the 19th century when they were the only option, but they make abs...
