really hope the next non entity that calls it on has the balls to stick around rather than ignore

shout out to the grammar sharp eyes as well , joke's on you huh?
;0)

Looks like he turned himself into a non entity

no... it's just an aluminium frame that has Merckx sprayed on it.

Fork looks steel though

possible but the frame definitely isn't.

Top lols

Pretty sure they sold aluminium track bikes though.

^ This is a nice looking bike, but where are you going to ride - on this bike - where you can't get by with two bottles? Bit unnecessary, innit?

Bit unnecessary, innit

Tool roll in the third cage would be my option, but you can probably ride all day without seeing another soul if you head up some of the trails in the less populous states, so 3 drink bottles might make perfect sense.

Something you can remove is better than something you can't put, no?

Good point. I'm too used to associating off-road functional bikes with 'guards but the sort of places where you can enjoy dry weather can also be short of cafe stops. (Might even be a good place to keep the bear spray.)

Indeed - bears hate bikes because they allow the puny humans to sneak up on them unheard and too quick for the bear to make their escape.

This year in north am. there has been at least one attack with a lucky escape and one fatality for this reason.

I surprised a bear once while I was cycling, luckily it turned and ran the other way - towards where we were wild camping that night.
#fuckinghatebears

I startled a deer today, it ran across the road in front of me and then through a wood without any apparent change in speed, which was impressive. No bears.
