Epic WTF

Has AI Jesus cut his own fingers off, so he’s throwing devil horns for eternity?

This was nearly a year ago. Canada Water station.

A moulton for the price of a new car. What gives? Is it price anchoring, wishful thinking, a product people actually buy??

It's the ultimate late-mid-life crisis purchase for the non car driving man. </stereotype>

You see a fair number of shiny Moultons on Audax rides, usually ridden by someone who has recently retired and has always wanted to get their ultimate "last" bike.

Fugly looking things but each to their own.

Very popular in Asia.
They ride great but shoddy craftsmanship for the price.

People actually buy these, and they are good bikes.

But be clear, the people who are buying these are not you... when I was there a few years ago I saw a couple pick up theirs (2 matching ones), and the scenario was "we're so excited as we couldn't have bicycles on our yacht but these are small enough to stow and transport back and forth to the land, and yet they offer us the ability to have a full size bike experience when we go cycling"... so yeah, these are not for you.

so yeah, these are not for you.

Obviously - unlike those povheads, @Leshaches has a massive yacht, with plenty of space for full-size, non-folding bikes.

When Alex Moulton was alive, he was a life member of the cycling club I belong to and he used to have open days for us at the local place where they were built (no idea if they are still built in UK or not). There was always a selection of different models to have a spin on.

They are great things to ride but didn't realise they were that much nowadays

Clearly I am a sweet naive summer child but having paid for my resident parking permit after moving onto a street opposite a school I did not realise I had to apply for a completely separate (and totally free) separate "school streets" residents permit to be allowed to drive down that street whilst school is kicking out or opening.

They really could have bundled that into the residents one couldn't they? Or in the process of applying for the residents permit maybe mentioned or had a little pop up about the second permit requirement?

Thank you. Imagine! £40,000 pays for a year of one of the horses’ swimming lessons. Some people have more money than sense.

Also support yachts are a thing for a reason. Smh

Are robots better than humans?

A dog prison of your very own.

A friends terrier sleeps in one, dogs like that kinda thing apparently?

Does he also have collars lying around that look too big for the dog?

It’s not the concept of the crate, Dolly has one for being left alone when the MiL goes out. It’s that this one looks like a mini prison and is the alternative to an ‘ugly’ crate.

The bigger wtf is the dog industry in general, with bulk muscle powder and spa days for dogs both being things.

She doesn't, but there is an ice axe in the hallway...

... her partner is a climber.

Companies who photograph women’s bib tights like this. Does absolutely nothing for the sports image and is sexist as fuck. Fucking cretins.

I thought Assos stopped that a few years ago. But still, far too late.

That image is at least ten years old.

Looks perfect for an XS bully

Ah that’s a relief. It just popped up when I was trying to ID a different pair of bib tights. Even 10 years ago that shit was whack tho.

I completely agree that it was whack. I think Assos, for it was their advertising campaign, got a lot of negative feedback on it and, eventually and somewhat reluctantly, dropped it.

The world of cycling apparel was a very different world ten years ago, with almost all brands using white, male models for all their imaging bar their women's range. I remember @amey rightly making this point repeatedly in the Rapha thread (and Twitter I think) about how none of their models looked like him. They got the message eventually.

It’s so easy to forget how much some things have changed in a relatively short period of time.

Anthony Joshua's friend has now posted footage of the moment they
arrived at their £2,000 darkness retreat on Monday before they went
into separate huts and AJ spent four days alone with his thoughts in a
pitch black room: "This is where lions are made."
