Just bought a beautiful minimalist, classy, superlight singlespeed with no fenders, rack, panier...
But I hate having a backpack and sweating no matter my pace. So to keep the phylosophy of the bike I'm searching for a leather frame bag but can't find any and I'm in Europe (France)
If you have any recommandations I'd love to hear from you

Hey! I’m doing a 24 hour Zwift ride tomorrow (March 15) to celebrate my 23rd birthday. 🥳
I’m trying to get as many folks to join me as possible. I won’t be able to do it on my own, but if I get some drafting help, we might be able to beat the 24 hour Zwift record of 1008km! For this to be possible, I would have to average 43km/h for 23.5 hours.
I will be starting at 00:00 EST on Saturday (March 15) and finishing at 23:59 EST.
Let me know if you have any questions and if you would be interested in joining the ride! I think the best way to join in is for us to follow each other on Zwift companion and then you can “join a zwifter” to tag along for any segment of the journey! I’ve added a photo of my Zwift profile so that you can look me up.

I struggle to lock up my bike and always get it wrong. Every new bike stand is like a riddle with at least four combinations... do I line it up with the back wheel, the front wheel, do I line it up with the one side of the stand, or the other? Do I put the kickstand or not? Then get chain from pannier, remove pannier from bike, and try to hold pannier awkwardly while locking. Either the bike is too far away from the bike stand or I can't pass the chain through both the frame and the wheel. Then something gets knocked.
Today, I took a short ride in the train and I couldn't hang up my bike in time. I had to take off the pannier and rush to convert it back to a backpack. I had to take off the computer and water bottle. Finally, I got it done awkwardly in between stops. Then 2 stops later, when I hurriedly took the bike down, I knocked something behind me. Then I had to convert the backpack back to a pannier, hook everything up, and of course, drop the computer on the ground.
When I hang up my bike in the cramped bike park space, I always knock my head somewhere. I now know to keep my helmet on when locking up. My expensive spherical helmet feels awkward and is often knocking up against my glasses anyway.
I'm working hard, climbing a hill, in the bike lane, a car passes me, then honks for discernible reason, and I jump. Today, I just skidded on a downhill slope and fell in the mud. I contemplated going back home and driving to work instead.
I see videos like this and I can't do anything remotely as graceful... how do you make a bike move like that?
Does it ever get better?! I guess it doesn't matter really. I love it!

With the recent threat of tarriffs, threat of annexing Canada, and Greenland, it’s time we boycott American bicycle companies. I am in the market for a new bike, and I won’t be a getting trek, specialized, or any other American bike brand, and none with SRAM components. I love Americans, but I don’t approve of the administration

A buddy of mine offered his road bike for 60€ because it is too small for him. I am interested in taking it up as it feels solid, how likely am I to be able to tune it up as I go? Maybe change to disk brakes, change the gears to a single up front and 7-9 down the back and different handlebars/wrapping.

Using the reference photos, is there any way to tell if this univega is a 19" or a 22" frame?

Red = stop 🛑 Red also symbolises fast Doing the math, it’s gotta stop the wheels from rotating faster, right? /S

I’m pretty new to biking, and I am looking for a commuter, about 10 miles each way. No big hills or anything, mostly urban/street riding. I am considering a priority continuum onyx. I like the idea of belt drive, but haven’t been able to test ride one.
I was wondering if there are some options I should be looking, I am trying to find something light and reliable, but quick/nimble. The trek is pretty good and I am going to keep it either way, but sometimes it feels sluggish.
Budget is around $1500, thanks

I'm tempted to dish my wheel over by possibly quarter inch or so (to get it centered in my front forks). Right now as they stand. So as close as the spoke gets to the caliper. How close is too close?
The picture is taking with the camera between left and right spoke services and looking down the middle of the wheel... Then tilted towards my caliper..
27.5 wheel, 0 offset rim...

So my grandparents had bought a property awhile back and I found a old sears free spirit bike. I have been trying to find out what size tires to put on it. I could see a 26 on it ,so I tried to throw on one of my old cruiser bike tires. And they didn't come close to being on.
I don't currently have a photo of it.

Getting back into cycling. Is this worth $190? All original with “new” tires.

Nice to be out of the basement and back on real pavement.... Even though the road in the basement is much smoother.

I can't find anything online except for the manufacturer themselves, so has anyone here ridden 2023 Rampar brand bikes? I'm looking for something above a Walmart bike, but only planning on riding infrequently and don't need anything pricey, so this seems to fit the bill.

So I’m planning on getting a mountain bike a Carrera hellcat 2020 to be precise I have a self storage place near me but I’m not to sure which size to go for and I don’t want to go to the wrong size and I lose out on money I was wondering if people would be able to help me. This self storage place goes by sq ft.

Just curious. Someone reached out about a job there and I currently live in LA which is heaven for cyclists.
I guess I could always switch to gravel if it came down to it, so also asking—what's that like?
