Hahaha, the one guy that grabbed an armload of bananas!!

SparklingWiggle ago

yeah, worth $3. At least they are healthy.

Broc_Lia ago

Not really. Nutritionally they're like sugary bread.

SparklingWiggle ago

I posted a link with a bunch of benefits. Antioxidants, Magnesium, Vitamin C, Potassium, etc.

Broc_Lia ago

Isn't it pretty light on those? I thought you were better off using citrus fruit or apples.

lord_nougat ago

They're pretty great on potassium I know for sure. Back in the day when I used to go on training rides with my ironman triathlon nerd friends we'd carry bananas for that point around 90 miles where the cramping starts to set in, and they totally work, albeit for a somewhat brief time.

Broc_Lia ago

Nice! I'll give that a try.

Personally my tournament food is watermelon. It's a great source of sugar and vitamins, while also being really hydrating.

lord_nougat ago

Oh wow, that would for sure be refreshing at any rate!

But it would be harder to carry on a bicycle on a 100 mile ride. On the other hand, the added weight would make for better training! But then, we all had loads of water bottles also. Additionally, peanutbutter and honey sandwiches were easy to carry and felt adequate.

I miss that. I should ride again.

Not only that, you have to be fast enough to stay ahead of the niggers chasing you because you've got a watermelon.

Great training tool. Remember, don't look back, they might be gaining on you. That way you are in a constant sense of urgency.

Just tell yourself they'll beat you, steal your bike, rape you, kill you and set you on fire and not in that order if you're unlucky. Oh yeah, they'll take your watermelon as well.

You'll be olympic material in no time.

lord_nougat ago

LMAO!

Funny thing, part of my training was riding to work every day instead of driving or taking the bus, and I swear, the bus driver on the main street I took pretty much wanted to run over me... so I just decided to be faster than him and lever let him catch up. This was super hard the first few days but got easier right away. I chose a pretty direct route that had moderately crappy traffic, because that way I'd be able to keep up with prevailing traffic, and eventually cut my commute time in half compared to driving my car, and way better than the bus; 50 miles round trip a day. I do miss that; we moved to a much nicer part of town, but with much worse roads back into town where the office is... so now I just work remotely more. Well, now we all work remotely entirely, if we're lucky!

Was it a fat nigger or shitskin? I think they must be psychos, I had one run me off the road and into a pineapple field once. I can understand, I was on a moped, but it was a fast one. It was Hawaii and it's retarded to have a car there because it's a small island. I was an infantryman, a 'grunt' and I got one when nobody had one. My team leader and I got two italian made ones that were retardedly fast for their CC size. These were the lamberginnis of mopeds compared to the rice burner ones. The island has bike paths everywhere so when you hammer a moped down them it's fucking awesome.

Now and then you've got to get on some highway because you have to. Don't be a jagoff, ride the far right as much as you can like a pro.

So here comes this fat bastard pineapple shitskin driving his fat beast of a bus. He edged me off the fucking road, the miserable cunt. Take a glass cannon street moped off road through a ditch into a pineapple field and see if you aren't angry. No, I couldn't catch him either. I got it back on the road and hammered it, but he slowly left me in the dust. I bet he saw it all and thought fuck that. That monster grunt is pissed. Grrr!!! Hmm. Imagine confining road rage offenders to mopeds for punishment? The delight they would bring as they rage at people who can leave them behind in a perfect fit of frothing rage, admiring their handiwork in their mirrors, the kids plastered to the rear window flipping them off and making faces.

I'm sure the bike people on their precious bike paths hiss with fury at the mopeds burning by them at warps speeds, cackling through that uphill curve that you have to hump and pump through. It's a damn wonder I've not be relegated to pedestrian by the traffic authoritarians and all their rules.

lord_nougat ago

Puch mopeds, maybe? A friend of mine had one of those in high school. Cool bike.

I hate bike paths. They always suck, and have nails, broken glass, joggers and roller bladers all over them. Useless. I know I couldn't do it today, but at the time, I had to average 30mph on the commute just because.

I'm pretty sure it was a fat shithead neegro

HiJoker ago

Garelli, an early 80s model. It looked like a minibike you pedaled. I rode it up to Kolekole Pass from Army side, not bad for a moped. lol

lord_nougat ago

Fuck, that sounds super fun! And the regular spindly stupid looking ones were fun as it was!

I ended up getting a Honda 90 back then, which was way faster... sort of. Also, it was pretty great on trails, since that's what it was designed for.

HiJoker ago

Fuck I just got rid of one of those. I wish I had it back. Honda Trail 90s are epic. Trail 70s are fun as well. They're so dinky but you go flying on them, it's like setting on a kitchen chair and go zooming. I want to get one of these electric fat tire bikes. I want to ninja down some trails and plug some game. Soft hunting is where I'm at these days. Super soft deer hunts for the win.

I'd love to get some hunting land and put in golf cart trails all over it. Feeders all over the fucking place for everything game. Stock some fishing ponds and put up a proper clubhouse and inn on it for club members only. Put cameras up all over the damn thing and let club members enjoy some top shelf soft hunting, fishing and bivouacking. Put up tall fences to herd in deer for the hunt, then let 'em out. All of it of course spread out so it's not noticeable at all. It's like hunting in a park.

It's all processed for you, trophy if applicable as well as appropriate hides processed. No waste of the resources you bag. Gear is supplied and you get to take it home, weapons included. A top notch appropriate motiff clubhouse and inn with it. I could go on about it, but I digress so far from mopeds it's comical. Speaking of, have them for the trails as well. lol

lord_nougat ago

That sounds pretty great! I'd make a road trip to visit!

HiJoker ago

I'm ruined, I got to hunt on private property that's never been opened up to hunters and it's like a city park it's so well kept. Dad and I kick back on lawn furniture and try not to fall asleep waiting on a deer. It's a struggle, all bundled up with a blanket and hand warmers. The crisp icy air combined with the warmth will have you breaking your neck nodding off in minutes. You'll never sleep so sound and hard as dropping off to sleep in a deer hunt like that. You'll wake up with deer tracks all around you where they came up, sniffed you, looked you over and walked off.

I've called a turkey in once with my snoring, my buddy shot it and I still didn't wake up. But that's a different story for another time.

Broc_Lia ago

Yeah, depends on the sport. The ones I play mostly involve hanging out at a sports pitch so the weight of refreshments isn't an issue.
