Once you get any knowledge of bikes and how much better legit components can be, you will never again buy a shitty bike from a big box store.

Because a $200 Target bike is a piece of shit. 

I wouldn’t care for it no matter who proposed it, it is the changing of something that has become iconic just to change it and/or be the one changing it. The current scheme has flown both Democrats and Republicans while in office and no one opted to mess with it when updating the fleet. Subtle updates or tweaks to a…

I’ll agree. The new livery isn’t terrible. It’s just incredibly mediocre and uninspired. It looks like an early 90s budget airline. 

The new paint scheme, like the administration itself, perfectly represents modern America: tacky, stupid, greedy and tasteless.

If I can easily handle 85 mph speeds through the Appalachians in my 55hp flatbed I think the American people can handle a hatchback making 178hp.

And more than enough for a Mazda3 or CX-30.

If Mazda stuffs this thing in a CX-5 and can show better MPG numbers than the RAV4 Hybrid, they’ll print money. The kind of people who buy hybrid family transports couldn’t care less about having more HP.

Hot take: 178 horse powers is enough for a CX-5.

The entire point of the crappy bikes is they are essentially disposable. They get stolen a lot off RVs. Sometimes they fall off. They get “lost” or “wander away” at campgrounds. They get banged up a lot on the racks. Sometimes they get loaned out and you have to leave before they come back.

Actually it is “New York, New York”, at least the way I and most others understand it.  New York City in the State of New York....simple.

You always see the WORST BSOs on any rv or trailer. If someone is going to drive up camp a 40 lb shit bike made of rust is fine, apparently.

I feel like RV owners have really bad taste. On the back of all of these $80,000+ 12mpg hotel rooms you always see the cheapest bike rack known to man with the most absolute shit bicycle shaped objects from wal-mart instead of a decent rack that looks nice and even the cheapest of hybrids from Giant or BMC etc. I get…

Small edit needed here.

I’m speechless, but with 36,895 comments, I haven’t always been speechless.  This post is the best prize ever!  Thanks so much, Andrew!

Mine was riddled with issues as well until I got rid of it. I was on transmission #2 and THAT was on it’s way out, a control arm went bad, had an exhaust rattle, had pretty bad throttle lag, the intake butterfly screws started backing out, the MAF died.... all before I even hit 13,000 miles.

I’m looking forward to reading this but could have done without “OK, SO I’M HERE AT THE JUNKYARD” blaring out of my speakers the moment I opened it. Autoplay videos are fucking intolerable.

Yawn, once again an “ok boomer” sticks his head in the sand and entirely ignores the fact that we NEED to make infrastructure changes to deal with the effects of climate change. This isn’t some libtard elite eco-advocacy dude. It’s serious as a heart attack.

I love bike lanes. As a driver they let me know where cyclists are going to be. As a cyclist they let me know where cars arent. Particularly where they are separated by some sort of barrier / curb. We have dedicated bike stop lights and turning lights here too. I love them. I can make a right hand turn knowing that a…

Sounds like rapid and frequent bus service with dedicated lanes would work well. No one ever talks about the cost to build and maintain roads.
