I’ve had two days in a row where I got to nerd out over stuff with people. Let’s get some of that going for everyone else.

I got snow tyres with spikes for my bicycle and oh my god dude this shit rules so hard. Pedestrians envy me, car drivers fear me because nobody knows this option exists and as such assumes I'm pulling some miracle shit to not eat massive shit on my bicycle riding the iced out streets

Like seriously I've had cars coming the other way just straight up stop in their tracks upon seeing me (which I commend, that is good, defense driving, even if unnecessary in this instance but how would you tell) and see the drivers look agasp at me as I swiftly navigate the iced out roads they're spinning their tyres on

This is how jesus musta felt when he walked on water

Standard Issue Steel Frame Hybrid, like straight up the most boring "european man on a bicycle" thing imaginable
