The Shirley Hills dog walkers might be less grumpy if I did

#lifehack

That looks like quite the commuter bike from an experienced person, couple of bits I can appreciate:

• Easy pannier to lift off the bike and carry into the office
  
• Kickstand for when popping into a shop quickly
  
• "Stem bag" to throw in phone/keys
  

I can has yellow and purple safety pizza?

Shirley you can't be serious.

dont encourage him please

Was that colour Ortlieb on special offer?

yellow and purple

Safety moussaka?

We'll ignore the front mudguard, saddle tilt and panniers too far back.

saddle tilt

Totally normal for Brooks saddles.

I've got one or two, seems excessive.

We'll ignore the front mudguard, saddle tilt and panniers too far back

And maybe the fact it's in entirely the wrong thread

Unless @hippy 's finally got his merge powers back?

2nd hand ebay find; was very cheap

Also @Skülly told me to listen to my gooch (reg saddle angle)

I now own two brooks flyer saddles in less than 3 days.

The absolute state of this critique.

Agreed. Does no one care for the Oxford comma anymore?

eggplant totally in for 2021

Nice. I picked up my new dyno 650b WTB 25mm front wheel today. Gonna stick a MTB tyre on the front and see how that fits.

Merge? Straight to delete.

As one of the token US members here: the safety pizzas are partially just-for-fun, partially for safety, and (arguably) partially for compliance with certain laws related to bicycles and reflectors.

The thing with all-road/gravel bikes here is that it's really impossible to overstate how car-centric the US is in infrastructure design and attitude. Some seriously ridiculous "safety" measures begin to seem more logical when you think of them less as actually effecting safety, and more in terms of a strategy for undercutting embarrassingly clumsy and stupid arguments from dangerous drivers in an inevitable courtroom. Those clumsy arguments will nevertheless often hold power without these measures, i.e. "were they wearing a helmet?" is asked every time a cyclist is hit by a DUI driver, and many people here truly believe it's relevant info to who's at fault.

Bet that is a slow boy.
