r/bicycle

On Monday it started out as a typical Cruiser bike. Usually I like to build my own frames from complete scratch, but this one here, I just widened the rear and did some metal work to fit the car tire in the back. Made a jack shaft for the chain. And painted it a super heavy metal flake red. I was kind of going after the style of an EJ Potter motorcycle. Hopefully this build does good on my YouTube channel. I think it turned out pretty cool for 5 evenings of work and under $200 invested. Would you guys ride this thing?

It's kinda DiWHY, right? I mean, a car tire on a bike is not very practical, besides the improbable chance of a flat tire and it looks cool haha

Epic celebration on bicycles!

Hello everyone, I'm new to cycling and I bought a beautiful bike on FB market place over a month ago. I've done around 200km on it since then. I just had a look at my cable and it's showing some bad frays. Is it still safe to ride or should I get it fixed ASAP? Thanks

i have absolutely zero clue about bicycles. I know some types and i know that the gravel bike will probably be the best for it but its out of my budget range (even used one in my city are four times more expensive than mountains)

i plan to ride on the side of the road when i learn because in my country its the only reliable option at the moment to get to the country side.

I have zero experience and i thought that mountain bike would be good for it? Is the only problem those bicycles have is the aerodynamics and lower speed on the road? At least thats all the videos i watched gave me about them

Is that true? more hidden rocks about them? they seem to be really the best option for their prices (planning to get used bike though).

Sorry if the post seems cranky, english is not my first language. And sorry if i chose the wrong tag/subreddit

Would this bike be fine for 420 price 2012 model felt z85. Bottle holders are included. It has a new rear pack as well

Here’s the style of brakes I have, the cable is disconnected in this picture. I have a framed 29” bmx that I love to wheelie with, I can wheelie quite well except I can’t go back too far because the brakes I have just don’t work that well, anything I can do to improve these brakes?
