I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.

50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.

Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

I'm so mixed on cycling right now, part of me still likes it but there's so many downsides that push back for me. I need new wrap AGAIN as mine despite having been used maybe a half dozen times is turning to dust, I really need a different stem to fix some of my fit problems, and also go back to saddle hunting hell. All of this on top of struggling to work up the motivation to ride in the first place, making it REALLY hard to justify spending any more money on it. Plus I, don't have money to spend on it right now.

I don't REALLY have the room for a bike, there's a spot for it but getting that space back would be nice. But I also like my bike and don't wanna get rid of it.

IT SMUSHES THE PEE HOLE TUBE SOMEWHERE DOWN THERE IT'S VERY UPSETTING

If you've never ridden a road bike, you lean forward a lot more than on a normal bike, so your weight is in a very weird spot. I've had tons of issues historically getting my fit right and one of the side effects is some of your weight presses against the... I'm just going to call it the dick stump. It presses against your dick stump and does bad things.

god that sounds annoying, i never bike leaning forward

Plum @plumpan8/26/2023, 12:16 AM

That's the thing, on road bikes you don't really have a choice. The bars (search "bike drop bars") are shaped to have you further forward.

This can be/is a good thing, I love how drop bars feel and being further forward at all is a lot more aerodynamic, which is most of what you're pushing against on a bike unless going up a hill, but the fit of the bike becomes a LOT more important.

I've heard stories of AFAB folks having circulation issues down there too from poor fitment.

Look. You're sporting actual factuals. It applies an unconfirmed numbness that is not replicated by anything.

Plum @plumpan8/26/2023, 12:20 AM

Frankly I'm used to my weenie going totally numb while riding sometimes and I was actually pretty happy that I managed to keep from being static in the saddle enough from that being a major problem this time, only to find out using the bathroom later that I had pinched something instead.

Sorry to be a bit explicit but everyone always kinda has to talk around this and it's way easier to just... say it.

Maybe in commonplace conversations, but to someone who is also a male genital biker, hooofah I understand friend but eeeoowwwza that alternative outcome is a nightmare....
