Young cyclist's question: Can you become pro with diabetes? by cheater00in bicycling

[–]bigmapblog 1 point2 points ago

If he's very fast he can. But, realistically, it is very difficult with or without diabetes. Not to be discouraging; but the odds are against anyone... regardless of his/her extraneous health issues.

This is my Bianchi. It cost me $270 but I don't know much about bikes, so can anyone tell me about it? Was it a good deal? by prodottoin bicycling

[–]bigmapblog 1 point2 points ago

You did fine, son. Ride the hell out of it.

(If it makes you feel better, he was more wrong than you were. I'm far from a prescriptivist, and I understood you completely fine the first time. The contraction was not a problem and I don't get his correction. But the normative "correct" statement would be "...but I'm biased.".)

(again... you came across completely clear in your original message... so nit-picking about shit like this is wack in the first place.)

If your you're going to correct my grammar, at least try and capitalize "I".

Not at all offended. Would love to know where to get such a deal. Please let me know when you find it.

You really can't. I mean... the link is to a single bike store selling an overstock, odd-sized woman's CAAD10 in Jakarta. Find me something in what realistically could be the question asker's LBS with Tiagra (much less 105) for anything near that price.

Such a thing simply doesn't exist, new, though I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Might be able to find it used for $1,300 (and if it's in good shape, it'd be a good deal), but you couldn't find that type of deal reliably. Let's not pretend that you recommended a sub-$1,300 bike.

A day off. by Bicycles19in bicycling

I don't get it. Do you work on a road crew?

Bringing a gun? by mosnilin bicycletouring

[–]bigmapblog 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, no complaints with that choice. Also check out the model 26 and 27. Might have some touring-specific pluses (size, weight).

(btw, wasn't trying to suggest anything by the "hot-headedness" thing. I don't know you and have no reason to suspect that. But my wording was vague, and I didn't want to leave that out there as though I thought there was any reason you might be.)

Bringing a gun? by mosnilin bicycletouring

[–]bigmapblog 2 points3 points ago

I can see a lot of wisdom in both sides of this discussion, and I'm not sure where I fall on it. I don't think I'd ever carry on a tour (of the U.S.), but I'm not completely sure.

But jesus, a .357? Too much gun, I think, for the situation (unless we're talking about defending yourself from animals). I'd recommend a snubnose .38.

I doubt you'd have any reason to use it, but I don't know anything about Oregon.

Listen to the people who advocate A.) not getting it if you're prone to hot-headedness, and B.) thoroughly checking the legality of doing so for every state/municipality that you're traveling through.

I might just go without it, though, but I'm not telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do.

(Indeed I did. Thanks for catching that. Fixed now.)

Summary from DRMC:

"The Atlas of the United States Printed for the Use of the Blind was published in 1837 for children at the New England Institute for the Education of the Blind in Boston. Without a drop of ink in the book, the text and maps in this extraordinary atlas were embossed heavy paper with letters, lines, and symbols. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first atlas produced for the blind to read without the assistance of a sighted person."
