Wednesday's post is today, and tomorrow's won't exist!

[Please note that tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11th, is Veterans Day.  As such I will not be posting that day.  While of course I have the utmost respect for all who have served, the real reason for my absence is that the schools will be closed, and if I don't spend the day actively parenting then my seventeen (17) children are liable to turn to crime and delinquency.  So after today I'll see you back here on Thursday, November 12th.  Deal with it.]

People, it hardly needs to be said, are the absolute worst:
Though at least we can take some tiny measure of solace in the fact it was always thus, and that our forbears would have commiserated with us, assuming they survived the tramplings:

(What, no helme(n)t?!?)

The above image was forwarded to me by a reader named Brendon, and it may or may not come from this book, which he also forwarded:


Either way, evolutionarily speaking, it would appear that we're stuck in something of a rut when it comes to our lowly position in the hierarchy of road users:


(See that?  He's LITERALLY IN A RUT!!!)

Though while we may be getting nowhere in that respect, you can't say we're not doing our best to compensate for our meager status by constantly inventing new and increasingly more futuristic gadgetry for our bicycles.   To that end, behold, the ultimate Fred stem!


SpeedForce - the first fully integrated cycling computer launch on Indiegogo from Yumeng Zhang on Vimeo.

(Via Steve the reader.)

Here's the pitch:

In cycling, we use so much assistive equipment.  Whether it be a GPS powered cyclometer, cadence sensor, heart rate monitor, headlight, or a smartphone for navigation.


(All that stuff on his bars YET NO HELME(N)T??!)

Hey, speak for yourself!  You may use all that crap, but I don't.  See, when you get to my level of cycling enlightenment you don't need things like cadence sensors, since you're tuned into the universal metronome, and Jesus himself is your rhythm section.

Nevertheless, for all the rest of you schlubs out there they've created "Speedforce:"


Clearly we've reached "peak data" when it comes to cycling, so the only way to innovate now is to come up with different ways to get that same stupid information inside you.  For example, some companies like to put it on your face.  Remember those stupid glasses?


("OK glass, how big a Fred am I?")

You know, the ones that take you out of the beauty of your surroundings to confirm how badly you suck?


Well between those glasses and this stem, it's clearly only a matter of time before some new startup comes along and promises to communicate all this information to you anally for better aerodynamics.

Actually, the Speedforce does sort of look like maybe that's how you're supposed to use it:


Here's what the future will look like when we're all riding around with butt computers:


Note the look of concentration as he analyzes the series of vibrations, pulses and whirrs emitted by the Speedforce:


So how does it work?

Well, all you do is insert Speedforce into the host rectum:


Then simply launch the app and ride!


Troubleshooting tip: you may lose the connection occasionally.

If so simply stop and adjust:


See, it's even great for fixie riders:


While it can't send them back to 2007 where they belong, it does has a fixed-gear "safety mode," and when it detects that the host is riding a fixie it simply commands them to ride around and around in circles so that they stay in one place and don't annoy the general public:


Think of what a jet ski does when you fall off of it and you've got the idea.

Speaking of fixies, the Speedforce has a headlight that "ensures your safety in the darkest nights:"


And safety is especially important when you're riding a brakeless bike in a dark tunnel with your feet completely out of the clips.

Best of all, you'll have "unlimited motivation:"


The kind that comes from having everyone you know virtually up your butt.

Speaking of endless refinement, Outside magazine has come up with this convenient list of special stuff you'll need to ride a bike with drop bars on a slightly irregular surface:


And before you ask, don't be stupid, of course you'll need a brand new bike:


Ridley’s new carbon X-Trail isn’t a gravel bike, a cross bike, or a road bike. Rather, it falls somewhere in between. The bottom bracket is lower than that of a typical cross bike for added stability, but the chainstays are shorter than what you’d find on a gravel-only bike, making it more responsive. The geometry is aggressive like a road bike, but there’s plenty of tire clearance for big tires, like the 38c’s I rode. There are also thru-axles on the front and back. This combination was perfect for the variable terrain, which included everything from stretches of smooth pavement to techy climbs that would have been easier on a mountain bike. I also added Reynolds ATR wheels, which cut weight, took some of the bounce out of the nasty washboard, and tracked like lasers on the loose gravel.

Come on.  How can they still be trying to shine light through the already nonexistent gaps between gravel, cross, and road?  Really, it's not any of those things?

So basically it's the Taco Bell Quesarito of bikes:


Just like this is the Quesarito of tool carriers:



In all seriousness the Behold is just like the flat tire kit in your car but it’s for your bike. Pack the Kargo bag with your tools, CO2 and a tube (up to 29-inch). Snap the bag in place and you’re set. You’ll be ready when you get a flat. Unlike a clanking bloated seat bag it’s completely out of your way on the frame. Attach any water bottle cage if you like.

What does everyone have against saddlebags all of a sudden?  And what's with the "clanking?"  It's a saddlebag, not a silverware drawer.  If you stuff a couple tubes in there it's as quiet as can be.

I do find this mesmerizing though:


Now I'm oddly hungry for a Quesarito.

Lastly, winter is officially on its way, because here's the first mainstream periodical article about fat bikes of the 2015/2016 season:


Cycling through beautiful valleys past greedily grazing elk, dwarfed by mountains — sounds like a sylvan summer scene. But with wider frames and new fat tires, mountain biking has become a year-round sport.

Sylvan indeed--until your clanking saddlebag causes those greedily grazing elk to stampede and you wind up trampled like a 19th century velocipedist.

Don't think it can't happen to you.

78. First, there doubtless are differences in the strength of the drive for power. Individuals with a weak drive for power may have relatively little need to go through the power process, or at least relatively little need for autonomy in the power process. These are docile types who would have been happy [ enslaved on ] plantations [ edit ] in the Old South. (We don’t mean to sneer at the [ enslaved people ] of the Old South. To their credit, most of the slaves were NOT content with their servitude. We do sneer at people who ARE content with servitude.)

Not to be a pedantic twat, but I don't see how the Ridley bike can be 'something between' gravel, cross & road bikes. It should be 'among'.

top tan!!! seriously, its good to be back in the florida sunshine. high of 85 and sun everywhere.

Bryan said...

Stay away from my butt..that's for dinosaur bones and money!

Truly $4900 is quite the deal for a bike if you believe the hype around Special-ed. It's below 5k! $300 shoes though...with laces? Lame. I'll take my velcro, thank you very much. The jacket is pretty nifty, and if it were $100 less I would probably buy it. No need for a hydration pack, 30 miles is easy enough on two water bottles. I would rather be thirsty for a few miles than carry a damn hydration pack on my back for any length of time.

I'm doing a gravel grind over the holidays. The bike cost me $45 (cost of new brake levers and external bb cups), I'll throw my Cambium on and attach my Carradice, fill it with food, maybe a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and off I shall go.

That silly flat repair kit is missing the most important thing...a freakin pump! Sure, use your CO2 first, but don't be caught without a backup. They could also throw in a Schrader to Presta adaptor so you can use an air compressor at a gas station.

That stem has some appeal - and I haven't changed the battery in my bike computer for 3 years, and it stopped working months ago. I could have a fun time with that until the rechargeable batteries lose their first charge.

(btw this I'm not a Robot challenge was particularly ridiculous. They asked me to pick out the auditoriums - there were two. Except there was an auditorium looking thing that was likely a marriage chapel. Now, what if somebody doesn't know the word auditorium or the nuances to its architecture? That means a certain demographic does not possess the knowledge or specific cultural information that allows them to respond in the comments - thank goodness I know what an auditorium is, amirite?

dop said...

About 20 years ago in Yellowstone, my wife and I pulled over to see what a crowd on the roadside was watching with binoculars. It was worth it. About 500 yards away, a grizzly was stalking a herd of grazing elk. Whenever they saw him, they'd move 100 yards away & he would run back inside the treeline. Over 15 minutes, he would reappear and try to sneak up on them, be seen & evaded, then retreat back into the woods. Finally the grizzly just said the hell with it & took off on a flat out run after the herd. With any luck, an elk* would stumble & be taken. Some of the crowd got back in their cars & followed the show. We headed off to dinner.

* Not to be confused with Anne Elk.

"...happy as plantation darkies in the Old South. (We don’t mean to sneer at the “plantation darkies” of the Old South. To their credit, most of the slaves were NOT content with their servitude. We do sneer at people who ARE content with servitude.)"

Ted K you lame-ass, you're posting the UNABOMBER MANIFESTO. And now you're gonna censor it to make it more palatable? You make a pain-in-the-ass of yourself, posting his whole stupid rambling self-important essay in serial form for months, then pretend to care about people's feelings? You glorify a murderer and his elaborate justification for murder, yet pretend to object to the fact that in addition to, you know killing people, the killer is also racially insensitive?

Make up your mind. Either you care about people, hate Ted K's racism and his murderousness, and shut down the bot all the way. Or, you embrace Ted K for everything he is, including a bore, a murderer, and a bit of a racist, and continue as you're doing, WITHOUT censorship because that is fucking weak and personally I think the fear of contrary ideas is fucking weak too. Which I thought you agreed with since you were POSTING THE UNABOMBER MANIFESTO. But if you've had a change of heart and actually care about people now, then instead of cutting out a couple words, go one better, and SHUT THE FUCKING BOT DOWN FOREVER.

Do you see how there is a lack of clarity right now? Mixed messages? Muddy principles? Of course ironically all this was just to passive-aggressively prove that all the "podio" posts were a waste of time! Lemme guess, you were playing, your mom told you to quiet down, and when you didn't, she left the stereo on full blast 24/7 for twelve days straight?

Roille @ 12:21 PM:

I decide not to repeat racial prejudice.

Like most racial prejudice, that found in the essay “Industrial Society and Its Future” comes from the author’s ignorance. We are all of us born equally ignorant. The author reduced his ignorance considerably in some subjects, but not having a lot of friends or even acquaintances, and very few personal interactions with black people, he remains ignorant about many aspect of humanity. This is not an excuse for the author’s ignorance nor for the racial prejudice in the essay.

”You glorify a murderer…”
Posting on the internet does not glorify anything.

”… and his elaborate justification for murder…”.
The essay does not attempt to justify murder or any other crimes the author committed. The essay does advocate revolution and this clearly implies violence (despite what paragraph 193 says.)

”Do you see how there is a lack of clarity right now? Mixed messages? Muddy principles?”
There is not more of an attempt at clarity, messages nor principles then as seen in the PODIUM!, SCRANUS!, etc posts.

I learned last night that our good friend ChamoisJuice posts about bike related stuff over at Reddit too. As opposed to the combative dickhead with the VERY active fantasy life that we have come to know here at BikeSlob.com LLC, he uses his "extensive" bike knowledge over at Reddit to drop sincere but almost surely unsolicited advice on the Reddiots about which cheap, POS Bikes Direct bike they should buy. It's really quite funny in a purely unintentional sort of way. I've said it before and I am sure I will have occasion to say it again: CJ knows next to nothing about bikes. His Reddit posts prove it conclusively.

Dear Mr. Ted K --

Mr. Figners is right. Own Ted K's manifesto or don't post it. You don't edit the real Ted K.'s work to make him palatable. That messenger and message cannot be separated. You cannot gussy up one to make the other less offensive.

As for me, I don't read Ted.

Nabokov wrote "you can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style," but he put that line in the maw of a narrator/murderer and preceded the exercise with an ersatz academic's wonderful introductory note, excusing "offensive" as a frequent synonym for "unusual" while lambasting and celebrating Lolita's narrator.

If you want to create a thing of beauty from an offensive narrator, Lolita is the touchstone. But that was fiction. Ted K. is real. There is a difference.

And Nabokov had a rare genius.

What? Doesn't anybody appreciate the classics?

I mean besides my dog's book club.

I'm surprised that no-one has pointed out the fact that the titanium seat "beams" have a strong resemblance to a dog penis.
Leroy - Not your dogs penis. I've never seen your dog's penis... I swear.

What a shitstorm.

Anyway, after seeing billboards shouting ELK JERKY for a hundred miles I stops in and says, "Sir, I've come off the rocky road yonder for some Elky comestibles, kind sir, some ELK JERKY if you will" and he says "Sorry, right out, sorry, no ELK JERKY today" and I says "Ahhh, well, that's good for the elk I guess, how about some VENISON JERKY then, kind sir" and he says "Oh, sorry no VENISON JERKY today" and so I says…"what's so funny about BIGGUS DICKUS!!!"

Dayum, ya'll been busy tonite.
It's been raining since Halloween, until today. So I went riding.
It was dark, and it was terrifying.
Ok, my work here is done, carry one, preferably with one another.
Selfies are ok too, I guess.

How can I use the stem with the integrated light, GPS, and screen at the same time as my shock-absorbing stem? They've missed out, there. Why should I have to choose?

Heh heh... too funny! I just saw the video, and you're right. Butt boy definitely does ride like he's got a stick up his ass. Heh. Yep. You nailed it, Snobberdobberdingdong.

McFly said...

So I broke my arm doing the mtb'ing last Wednesday (more specifically the ball on the end of the radius bone...IT'S NOT VERY HUMERUS).

In pre-op the nurse told me I had to quit masterbating....

...I asked her why and she said "Because I am tring to draw some blood out of your arm."

bad boy of he north said...

mcfly,sorry about your injury.heal quickly.but your comment sure did hit the,ahem,funnybone.

sorry to hear that. but now you have to move to vancouver. they have a lot of experience with biek-sickening crash victims.

In honor of veteran's day/armistice day, all of our vets should get a delicious Italian Ice Cream Cone

leroy said...

McFly -- Get well soon!

(My dog says that in light of the pre-op request, this might also be a good time to get your eyesight checked. Unless of course you take the Jackie Chiles' approach to these matters: "Yeah that's going to be a problem. It's gonna be a problem for them. This is a clear violation of your rights as a consumer.")

grog said...

Thank you Dad for your service. My dad helped destroy enemy submarines overseas. A few years later, he bought me my first bicycle; a Western Auto single speed. I learned about Freedom from all this.

dop said...

McFly-

Napoleon did something similar while in exhile. He wiped out on during a downhill donkey race, and could see the jagged outlines of his radius, ulna & humerus. He shrugged it off saying , "Able I was ere I saw elbow".

Because of his thick Corsican accent, he was misquoted.

Bob Patterson said...

What would NYC be like if they had built the Buckley Bikeways? (proposed by Wm. F. Buckley in his run for mayor)

N/A said...

What pressure was Napoleon's donkey running?

McFly said...

Damn slick ass leaves on a wettish trail. 2nd ride on the Kona Hei Hei. I do not hold her responsible and have no quarrel. 100% rider error. The 6 mile ride out was an adventure. It's the right arm and I broke the left shifter. I opted for surgery in lieu of a cast. Speedier recovery times.

P. Bateman said...

not sure, just know that the donkey is surprisingly well hung. i mean...my god.

I bet Napoleon wasn't riding a downhill specific donkey. Or a healment...

Napoleon's donkey wasn't Boost 148-compatible.

Knüt Fredriksson said...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that only burro's work with boost 148...

or when you beat them hard enough. they'll get to movin' if you hit 'em hard.

its almost that time of year for donkeys to start sending their mule-tide greetings cards.

P. Bateman said...

i went to the movies the other day and a donkey sits down next to me.

i said, "are you a donkey"

he said, "yes"

i said, "what are you doing at the movies"

he said, "well, i liked the book"

P. Bateman said...

okay, i'm stopping with the donkey jokes before i make and ass out of myself.

DB said...

Heal up quickly, McFly.

Roille Figners said...

Donkey schön, darling donkey schön.....

McFly I would think the tight grip would HELP her draw blood. You must be a loose-grip masturbator. I read you loud and clear buddy... hang with sluts, not choir girls?

dop said...

I'm trying to make a joke about those shoes called 'mules' and failing badly.

McFly said...

The upside is that we are currently installing the hardwood in 3 bedrooms in consecutivelyness and the little honey is giving me no slack. She is mitre sawing the end pieces while babygirl stands on the ready pieces while I air nail. Junior is, of course, on the XBox killing his friends.

Shall we get those hardwood jokes rolling?

bad boy of the north said...

my father served during the Korean war.stationed in Italy he and his crew built housing for those less fortunate after the second world war.my grandfather was a medic during the first while in middle europe

McFly said...

The real story behind Napoleon breaking his arm in the DH Donkey race is that he was a known doper and protesters were throwing rocks at him during the race.

That's right folks, he got stoned off his ass.

Spokey said...

mcfly

almost went that way a couple days ago. stood up to mash a little up a small hill and my rear started spinning. fortunately for me, sat me ass down and all was good. moral is beware of wet stomata

babble on said...

I hit wet leaf sludge and went into a skid when that car nailed me last week, too. Stuff is slick at best. Sorry about the breakingness, McFly. That sucks. And worse luck, it sounds like you could do with some of that getting stoned off your ass business at the moment, too...

dop said...

That guy with the butt plug is an expert on copyright issues in the music industry. He works for ASCAP.

I dread the rear-wheel spin that comes with a standing effort. It's almost a reflex to sit down, which usually ends it.

DB said...

What painkiller are you on, McFly?
You're killing it today.

Knüt Fredriksson said...

McFly,
Sorry to hear about your accident.
Where you wearing a healment?
What is air nailing? Is that where you pretend to dry hump an invisible object?

I had a driver steer her car straight across my path to make a turn into a parking lot - despite my bright as the sun lights - she rolled down her window and guess what she said

All together now "I didn't see you"

She is probably still wondering why a burst into laughter
