WWAWD evading the police on a bicycle you don't know how to ride and eventually drowning in a river because you can't swim?

I hate when I see idiots on mountain bikes on like gear 1 so they're just pedaling constantly like motherfuckers and not getting anywhere. When I was a kid I'd always have the gears maxed out so I could pedal like three times and coast forever and if I ever did start pedaling consistently I'd fucking fly. I also pulled the back wheel back as far as possible on my BMX so it gave the chain more resistance and I had to pedal harder.
WWAWD fucking up all your bearings because you put the bitch in the hardest gear and stand on the pedals going uphill?

I had a blue CCM that was just a standard 12 speed, no fancy shocks or anything and I feel like I never once had to fuck around with that bike. Every other mountain bike I ever had the bearings were getting fucked up, the chain would fall off all the time and I'd slip off the pedals and crank my balls off the crossbar. That tensioner thing that holds the back of the chain would get bent or something and fuck everything up. I should've kept that bike forever. I got rid of it for some piece of shit Shimano thing that I thought looked cool because it was all chrome. It got stolen. I have some really hardcore expensive mountain bike in my storage unit right now that I should unfuck and start riding.

Best bike I ever had was a Giant. 18 speed, no shocks, tough as fucking nails. Grip shifters, too. I fawking loved grip shifters. When front shocks became standard I was choked - I don't like how they compress going into a corner and then decompress on the exit. Throws off the steering. And of course if you stand up to pedal they fucking dip constantly and steal momentum. Full suspension is even worse. I think I've ridden a full suspension bike once and immediately hopped off.

I always make sure the shocks have lockouts when I buy a bike but it's not standard on cheaper models of course. I rarely turn them on even if I'm riding trails and if I do they're adjusted to the minimum amount of travel just to take the edge off if I smack something hard.

I'm standing up most of the time on a bike, if I recall. That one in my storage unit is full suspension and I do remember hating that shit. Some cool rich guy I worked for gave it to me and I've never ridden it. I don't even remember what's wrong with it. I just remember if I ever had to ride my friends' bikes with the shocks I was always like "this thing is fucked." The frame bobbing up and down while you're pedaling feels so fucking stupid.

Full suspension makes sense if you're doing serious downhill riding but if you're just booting around casually on trails it's retarded. Riding them on the street should be grounds for sterilization.

Lately I've been feeling like if I ever take one more big ass fall my head's just gonna pop off like a Rock Em Sock Em Robot so downhill shit isn't in the cards. I also refuse to wear a helmet on a bicycle because that's fag shit.

Well fuck my ass. That sounds fancy as hell.
I'm sure it's very cool and probably saves a lot of fucking around with gear indexing. My old man tried to teach me how to adjust a derailleur I don't know how many times but I could never wrap my head around it. Now I just take it to the bike shop and get them to do it.
