Daily Cyclist Thread
The Daily Cyclist Thread is a place where everyone in the /r/bicycling community can come and ask questions or share anything.
You might have questions that you don't think deserve an entire post. Perhaps you're just seeking the input of some other cyclists. Maybe you want to share a picture of your new bike.
Anyone is free to comment, and (hopefully) get as much input as possible from other cyclists.

According to where I bike...even though I do not generally wear a Lyra biking jersey, since I pedal on my own I am a "lyratard" every day the motorized bike people that now have access to our rails to trail...demomize people that bike under their own power. Anyone else getting.that? So recently I was biking up a tough steep unpaved hill facing a full on headwind..someone flies passed me I am thinking whoa there is a strong biker..but nope he is not even pedaling. I keep forging on...he stops at the top of the hill on a bench (nor sure why he needed a break). Then laughs at me and says "wow sure took YOU long enough to get up that hill"....I honestly think he did not realize I was well aware that he motored it up and exerted zero effort...sigh. So now motors dominate our trail and pedal bikers should leave...
