Why havent y'all poor car burgers bought an Ebike? Explain yourselves

America is a big country. You can't simply bike all over the fucking place. The US isn't France. Also cars are better than bikes. Its faster and more convenient. You have to be in good condition to use a bike. If you break your leg you gonna have to use the train like a poor loser.

All I heard was "blah blah blah I'm fat and lazy."

Is James Medlock a retard? The EU has significantly higher population density than the U.S.
Also, what's an Ebike? Some African shit? Eh bee kay. Sounds niggerish.

>Also, what's an Ebike?
this is a meme right
it's an electric bike

Everyone I disagree with is a retard.

I dont have fantasies about thinking (e)bikes are safe in the overwhelming majority of America. I've rode Divvy Bikes in chicago and watched some tourist get clipped by a car and eat shit, and its probably one of the betters cities to bike in even.

American cities simply aren't built for public transport, and none of them have the money or drive for a redesign.
There are so many smaller towns and feeder communities that cars are a requirement, if you don't have one, you're fucked.

You've clearly just come here to fight. You aren't looking to have a question answered. You don't seek knowledge. You will never improve. Like a rot you will wind down and fade away.

Huh. Sounds gay. I ride a motorcycle.
I don't disagree with him. I'm sure his statistics are correct. He's definitely retarded, though.

>more space takes more energy to cross

Wow hard to figure that one out eurocuck. The size of your fucking country is smaller than many of our states.

Did you just assume my geographic location?

Because you haven't sent me $1000 yet op. What gives?

Still waiting on probate court to release my millions from the bank in Nigeria.

60~ is a good distance, gets you far enough out of city prices to not have insane rent/house costs.

personally I would never bike in a city, there rest of the world has see india's traffic at an intersection right? there is 1 race in america who treats the streets like that, I don't want to fucking drive in a city because of them but I sure as fuck wouldn't bike anywhere where they are an issue. its also FAR harder to steal a car than a bike.

because public transport is the equivalent of 'people of walmart' in the states

its not even that, its that in america, a single state is bigger than most european countries, several fit in a single one. europeans bitch about a 90 mile drive to relatives they can 'only make once a year' while that's honestly closer than some people drive to work.

Walmart is also the states.. So basically just an American thing?

I earn over $50/hr in Australia and I ride around on a pedal push bike. XL (6ft 1 here) MTB frame w/ Schwalbe marathon 29" tyres, high rise handlebars, kickstand, panniers and a shimano drivetrain. I can carry a decent load of groceries in it. I can hit out at 30-40km/h without breaking a sweat which usually lets me beat most road traffic in the inner city.

more or less, its where the people who are such fucking failures in life they cant even afford a (at the time) 500$ car to get from point a to b, they would rather spend shy of 1000$ a year riding the bus (just looked up the city by me buss pass)

the buss is filled with people you dont want to fucking be around. some places were subways are a thing you just have to use them or pay for a taxi all the time, so you get mildly better people on them, but you still get the dregs.

think of it this way, if a place to shop has a small membership to join, you DO NOT NOT PAY if you have themeanse, because the absolute worst people will not pay, and they will be what surrounds you.

>Explain yourselves.

Niggers would steal it. They'll also rob you if you use public transport.

You can have nice things or nigggers, never both.

This. Euros really cannot fathom how spread out the US is. My girlfriend lives well over 200 miles away and I still manage to see her every few weeks. And in ye olde days before modern communication and gas prices my grandfather used to drive to my grandmother's every weekend over 400 miles away.

Because I'm not retarded enough to ride a bike 32 miles to everyday in order to take care of my elderly mother. One way. Fucking Eurofags have no concept of how vast the US is.

entry level Trek ebikes cost $5,000
Just but a vespa instead

The average person drives less than 75 miles per day. Your typical car trip is less than 10 miles.

Its funny watching you guys assume I'm from Europe just because I like calling you burgers.

For me I can afford a car, but like I am very fit.
I used to be morbidly obese, like 200kg till I started a more active lifestyle and got down to 90kg, Had to cover up some surgical scars with tats on my chest area and sleeve, but apart from that full recovery from obesity.
Obviously I don't want to be fat again so I just cycle fucking everywhere lmao.
I have taken the bus before and over here in AU it's not that bad. Just a G'day mate to the bus driver, sit down next to some dude high on weed for a few minutes then get off and thank the driver.

Because the US focuses primarily on car infrastructure and not public transport. Therefore it's difficult to get around without a car.

And ebike will not suffice as there are many dilemmas facing an ebike in the US. Commute durations are significantly higher since the US is less dense than Europe.

Sure an ebike might get me down to my corner store just fine, but it'd be miserable to get to the grocery story. And don't even begin to attempt going into the city since by car that's 20 minutes on the interstate. By ebike it'd probably be about 45 minutes.

And then there's climate to contend with. The northeast of the US (where I live) is the most populated area in the country. And even though we're at a lower latitude than say the UK or Germany. Our climate is significantly colder. Where England may get 10-20 inches of snow annually (depending area), where I'm at we usually get about 100+ inches annually. It is common for me to get at least 3 storms a year that drop more snow than England will see in total. This year was a very tame winter and our biggest storm dropped 25 inches in my yard.

Not exactly easy to ebike with 2 feet of snow, 10F temperatures, and lets not forget how hilly it is here.

My town is all rocky hill side. The elevation drop from my house to the center of town is about 350-400 feet down a fairly steep hill. A hill that walking/biking up is pretty damn rough. Ebiking can be done, as I've done it, but the bike just crawls up the hill.

And this whole area is like this. I don't even want to know what going into the city would actually be like when taking the up/down nature of the hillside into consideration.

Lightning mid drive kit costs about $750. Do it yourself.

I wouldn't be opposed to commuting via bike, my job is even fairly close to my house but I have to cross the worst part of one of the most violent cities in the country AND since I work on an AFB I can't carry a gun when I ride, so that's a solid nope from me.

Well because I learned as a child when I dropped the training wheels not to ride in or near traffic. Makes sense, cars are way bigger. Fuck all that right of way rules of the road, it comes down to 2 things. How good is your insurance and what do you want to bounce off of first? Too many idiots driving cars to get me on a e-bike

Just fucking use the pedals and break your legs in.
You will burn so much fucking fat ass you might actually stop being obese for once in your life

America is not Lilliput.

Been car free for over 20 years sweetie. And my DIY ebike isnt finished.

Gosh I just love listening to Yea Forums tards and their fantasy world takes.

this

good for you, other countries don't have the same problem with drivers that america has that makes bikes a non starter. tourists are the ones that make up a LARGE amount of traffic accidents when it comes to bikes because they have n o idea that even someone who is mentally retarded is capable of getting a drivers license, granted i'm not talking about the profoundly retarded, but 'walmart bag boy' is their highest life goal kind of retard.

they have no idea what you have to watch out for and eat pavement because they thought it was like their country.

if you bike in a city, you have a deathwish in america, even ones that go out of their way to make bike lanes are not very safe.

you have 0 idea how big and far away shit in america is. or understand that breaking a sweat on your way to work is typically a no no,

Show us a picture of your huge cock too fag

Who pays you people you spam people to spam this nonsense all day and night?

How do those awkward and unsuccessful dates go, btard?

I would love to ride an ebike as well bit I'm afraid of everyone finding out about my closeted homosexuality. How did you manage your honosexualitiy?

Foolish European. America’s infrastructure is not designed for anything but vehicles. About 75% of establishments in America can’t legally be left on foot because there are no sidewalks, roads besides major highways, no grass, trails, j walking technically makes it a crime to try and walk out of your home if you aren’t in a suburb. There is no city planning anywhere, you drive an hour or you ride a bike two and a half hours through half city half suburb where you’re literally mathematically guaranteed to be attacked by a nigger at least five times. Bikes may work in your country but don’t even come close to being feasible here. I’d love to show a European or some other disdainful foreigner to how poorly designed this country is, maybe it would finally get some outrage and some coverage.

America is dying and it’s because it’s literally and genuinely in the unironic sense, impossible to get anywhere on fucking foot, bike, train, bus, scooter, rocket powered roller skate, anything but a car is unacceptable transportation. God help you if you have passengers or bags.

How many hoes you pick on that?

Either you're a pajeet or a virgin kys

I'm sorry you had to find this out the hard way I'm so sorry. How did that nigger dick feel in your tight white creamy American ass?

Fantasy? You realize how easy it is to build endurance to ride a bike 30-40km/h daily for long distances, right?
My calves are pretty thick and I might only go 20 up hills or less depending on the grade, granted descents get faster but you get the point. I literally ride 20km to work and back daily and it's fucking nothing to me. Have ridden 100km before as well, but you can generally feel that afterwards.

If I can not break a sweat under 40c heat, you can in America as well. Also shits pretty far away in Australia too, being designed after cars and all.

I would but it's too big to fit in the photo.
Most of the stuff I mentioned isn't anywhere near high end. For reference an expensive bike usually is around $5000+ and has carbon and shit in it. If you want to see one, ask your dentist to see his bike and he will show you what top money can buy lmao.

A lot more then when I was obese, that's for sure. I actually have a license so I can literally just rent a car if it was such an issue. You need one anyway for ID since it's the best form of ID for most things that require ID.

Because in America THIS is what happens on public transit
I don't know why you Euros are so absolutely perplexed by the existence of niggers, but you will find out soon enough I guess

>How did that nigger dick feel in your tight white creamy American ass?
It’s causing me genuine mental anguish user.

Suck your own dick enough fag? How's those sweaty balls taste?

salty.

sure as fuck did

chinese ebike kit plus low end bike to bolt it on = $600. this will buy a shitty in need of repair used car. ready-made ebike at bike shop = $1500, this will by a serviceable used car in need of minor repairs if any. ebike = toy. real men drive pickups, I can literally carry a ton of dirt home if I want to, on a whim. ebikes can carry maybe 2 small bags of grocery? sucks to be a yuropoor.

Who cares about the design? I'd like you to tell me how we're supposed to have that kind of transportation system given the scale of the country? The garbage patch we spew out is bigger than most European countries.

>higher population density
Europe does not have vast desert areas

Where I live it gets to be 115 F in summer.

Where I used to live it got to -15 F in winter. That's the actual temperature, before wind chill. Add snow.

I wanna see how your e bike does in a blizzard.

And what city do you live in? Just checked a topography map and most of Australia's cities are in low laying land with very little elevation difference. How big these "hills" you climbing?

You're just some jerk off using poor people as an excuse to toot your own horn like a pathetic little attention whore.

Get a life.

>Be anti racist my whole life
>Become old enough to get to by way of bus
>Robbed twice by niggers
>Almost robbed a third time but the car behind me saw the nigger tailing me close and honked, when I turned around he had about faced and walked away quick

Fuck black people.

Get your shit together, guys. We can't let Italy beat us at this. If each of us just smash 2-3 cyclists, we'll take that #1 spot in no time!

just go slower? whats the fucking deal mate. if its uphill one way the return is downhill..
unless you're on a fixie, gears exist. If you are too fat for a low enough gear get a mtb drivetrain
