I’m shopping mainly for steel frame bikes. Here are a few I’m considering:
Quicker, more aero gravel ish bikes: Soma Double Cross Surly Midnight Special Basi le Montreal
More all terrain, more upright geo, kind of ATB bikes: Soma Wolverine All City Gorilla Monsoon (brand is shutting down) Basi Hog’s Back
Others I often see recommended and discussed: Surly cross check Kona Jake Salsa Marakesh (touring) Canyon brand in general
If your priority is to do some amateur races, im sorry if none of these suggestions really help you. As others have suggested, think about the tire size you want to run and make that clearance a priority.
I’m sorry, that was the top level comment user. That’s my mistake.
Assuming others see you is like planning to make this situation happen.
I mean you’re making a lot of assumptions about the situation here. The only piece of context the article provides is that they were at an intersection (doesn’t state what kind), the cyclists were already going through and “she just came right across and split the group.”
It doesn’t say if there was a hill for the oncoming traffic which could have caused them not to see the car before the group began to cross. It doesn’t say that the cyclists all saw the car and decided “you know what we have enough time let’s just go.” It doesn’t say she was on her phone (though that is what my assumption is).
What we know is that she, intentionally or not, killed someone because “she didn’t see them.” How could you possibly fault a group of 10 people for this?
Editing to add: Your argument is all about trust. You can trust or not trust anyone to do anything and all that does is increase or decrease your chances of a critical outcome like this. I ride very defensively and very visibly. Safety vest, front and rear cameras with lights, the works. At a certain point the only thing I can to do increase my odds of not getting hit while riding is just not riding my bike, which is not an option for me or many other people.
Why would you not expect to see other road users at an intersection? You would expect to see a car, why not a cyclist?
I’m just learning about Pixelfed from your comment. Any suggestions on where to start or instances to subscribe to?
I don’t totally understand how this chart is segmented and I’d challenge the accuracy of it. For instance, Oreo is a brand by Nabisco which is a subsidiary of Mondelēz but the chart shows Oreo and Nabisco in separate boxes.
Up to 5 years for attempted manslaughter.
You might be thinking of Fred Meyer, which is red.
Have you ever seen the frozen food section of a grocery store?
