Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

Apparently Nickelodeon was mainly a US channel back in the day. You never know what you don’t know.

I still don’t get the pineapple passport stamp one. 🤔

It’s a reference to a series of memes that had meaning to a distressingly small cadre.

no one does

That bike will be on eBay next week to pay whatever household expense isn't being covered by Tory party donations.

There's no such limit.

They're attacking me on the fucking daily at the moment!

Triffids or the 'Pod People' variant?

A physical fight might stand me a chance, the regular kind that go straight for the sinuses.

I hesitate to consider what this says about tubless riders.

That’s most of us, so few people on here ride tubs

I’ve got a tyre I’m struggling to get on the rim. Never thought of a cable tie

Nor I.

Seems like a good plan.

Never thought of a cable tie

People only use cable ties because it's no longer routine to have a spare toe strap laying around

One of the most useful and undervalued tools of modernity.

Pro tip: if you have a long cable tie, wrap it twice, that way when you cut it you’ll have a useable cable tie for next time.

Also pro tip: be careful cutting it, you have the cinch them down quite tight on marathons and pluses, so scratching the rim or tyre is annoying easy if you’re rushing.

(Random google search result, buy from somewhere respectable and not Amazon.)

👍 That’s the preferred option, or one can use a needle or sharp tip to open the zip tie and reuse it.

Working in a bike shop one gets tons of disposable zip ties from bikes manufacturers. Prying them open can be a faff, so cutting is preferred, ideally in a way that they can be used multiple times.
