Anyone else here cycle for cardio gains?

i usually don't see myself as some weird pervert but i'm a cashier and sometimes, when its been 5 or 6 days since i last beat off, i'll catch a whiff of a really cute girl and just imagine pulling her head close to mine and smelling her hair and touching her face.

its been so long brehs

>the most adrenaline I have ever experienced
This. Mountain biking is a fucking drug. Almost died several times in Colorado. Can't stop.

I live in a rural area so pickings are slim and i'd rather practice abstinence than fuck vapid whores.

these dudes know whats up

>using a lift
What are you, weak?

It's not as easy as going to the sex store my dude

Honestly it's as effective as you make it.

Same with most exercise. You can low gear limp it up a grade or you can jack up the gear and put in max effort.

It's entirely up to you

Lol holy fuck TLDR autism
HAVE SEX

a little higher res.

I have a gf but she only wants sex a maximum of once a week. That simply isn’t enough for me so I remain sexually frustrated yelling into a pillow because I got meme’d into doing no fap and refuse to give up my one year quest

>not spinning 130 rpm up a climb
Never gonna make it.

you should get a new gf

>-t. leglet
You probably can't even ride 20 miles in one hour LMAO

>bragging about a 20mph one hour TT
around here grade E criteriums average 25mph on a bad day lmao, get good

No, my house, Massachusetts

>implying that's the best I could do
Lol, I was just setting the bar low as I said he couldn't even do that.
World hour record is something like 55 km

>criterium
In a crit you spend most of the time drafting other riders, that's easy mode.
If you maintain 25 mph for an hour alone in the flats, that's something.

>crits
you talk like you'd DNF a beer-league cyclocross race.

Yup now that it's nice out I carry my fishing pole for some bass fishing comfyness

You don't really have a girlfriend then. You have a girl you cling to so you're not alone.

Every time I read about bikes it's just people complaining about how much they suck and they had to basically build their own fucking bike from separate parts, or else buy some meme $5000+ shit.

We start breakaways at the hardest point.

I cycle because its my only motive of transportation

Most important things about a bike are:
>fit
>contact points
>tires
>keeping up with maintainance
If the geometry suits you, you have adjusted it to your preference, saddle, cockpit, shoes and pedals are good, your tires are the right size and of decent quality and nothing is worn out/corroded, your bike is good.
It's mostly training and that.
It doesn't have to be a custom-build or other expensive bike, it just has to be of reasonable quality and fit for you.
I'd rather ride a 11 kg tourney equiped bike that fits me perfectly than a Dura Ace Di2 hydro disc bike that weighty less than the UCI-weight limit with a poor fitting geo and saddle.

to add to this, most bike shops will set up your bike for fairly cheap. it's worth doing at least once to learn how and what to adjust and any decent place will show you how to do it yourself.

Depends on bike-shop.
Had a rental when on vacation recently, the fit as totaly off.
They only adjusted saddle-height (they got it wrong) and nothing else.
Hell, they even pumped up the 25mm tires to 9 fucking bar for my 120 lbs ass, had 420 mm handlebars and had a stem with I'd use on my MTB with a boomer stack and pointing up like crazy.
That setup was terrible, changed it ASAP after they refused to.
It felt like a MTB, but with so much pressure that it bounced all over the place and was uncomfy as fuck.

I ride a single gear road bike to get to the gym, grocery store, or local friends homes.

It's how I get around town. Cheaper than a car. But for actual cardio I use my DDR machine.

Bruh, I want to buy a nice bike for fitness and transportation. I got 2 grand

>went with bike to pick up some stuff I ordered
>went faster than the traffic on average
Why do I own a car again?

Get a mid level XC mountain bike. Efficient enough to get around quickly on, robust enough to take on most trails, capable enough to rip down Whistler jump trails (after upgrading the components).

They're pretty much the perfect gateway into biking. You can set them up to do just about anything. Spend around 1000 and you will have a great starting point.

>XC MTB
Nah, CX > XC
CX works everywhere and is reasonably fast.
XC works everywhere and is slow.
CX simply has the best of both worlds, the grip of an MTB with the speed of a roadbike.

Cyclocross definitely does not work in a many places as an XC bike. You can get away with using an XC hardtail for thinks like dirt jumps or black diamond DH trails if you have good components and some decent skill, but you'd need to be top 1% of riders to get a CX bike to do that kind of shit safely.

When you start out you don't do jumptracks anyway and have no idea what you want from a bike.
CX/gravel works as well on singletrack as it does on road or gravel.
XC sucks on gravel and road.
CX/gravel has multiple hand positions
XC just one

Cyclocross from bikesdirect or used but at your size.

I ride a hardtail xc....great cardio and awesome way to clear your mind.
Climb 2k-3k feet twice a week for leg gains. It does take a while to get use to the seat however...I recommend padded underwear

Imagine spending your entire day standing, and then your exercise involves standing around lifting things up and putting them back down

Based and dangerously redpilled

i do open-entry 4x, dual slalom and enduro.

i mean i guess? new riders will probably end up shouldering a cross bike over off-camber roots and such where they might just ride the line on an xc rig.
that being said, nobody should be riding a $2k xc bike to the store or whatever. thats just asking for it to get ripped off. something like a Cross Check is much more appropriate for a daily driver that can also tear up two-tracks and gravel.

surprised nobody posted that bitch with the crazy toilet

>tfw 135 lbs and ride bike 10 miles a day for bike commute

been doing this for like 2 years and still really no good at bicycling. my route is 5 miles each way, one way mostly all downhill other way mostly all uphill.

The toilet on that bitch

How do I into bicycle core with a touring bike

>doing the same thing and wondering why you're stagnant
You have to actually increase the intensity somehow you dumbass.

>I saw a girl on a bicycle yesterday and I started thinking about what it would be like to be a bicycle seat for 10 minutes.
Solid ending m8 top kek

Depending on how new the rider is, he will walk the bike somwtimes regardless of what type it is.
In the end CX allows you to ride trails and doesn't totaly suck on gravel and road while XC sucks on gravel+road.

>all the retards posting plebian responses like 'get laid bro' or 'autism'
You may be a dangerous sexual predator in the making, but you're also a captivating wordsmith. Just keep on doing you, you crazy fuck.

Well put.

>Implying 130 rpm is fast

Based and redpilled

Yeah man. I have a pretty sweet Fuji Transonic. I do about 25 miles per week and a few centuries per year.

At the end of the cycling year for me, which is Nov., I do a 2 day double century. Some years I don't train enough and Day 2 is a real bitch, but good for mental grind.

Cycling is gay af. You're all a bunch on queers

have sex

why is Jow Forums the only board with shit like this?

projecting hard

I cycle to attract 6ft tall woman with PhD

130 rpm sustained is pretty fast, I max out at 200 rpm.

>He wants to taste her holes and squeeze her fat and smell that combination of smells girls have that when you ask them what it is they say it's just normal shampoo and fabric softener but you know it's something more.

I'm fucking dead

anybody around st louis area? wouldn't hurt to have a cycling buddy. gravel/road ok.
