Word. Some of my ads generate pennies in revenue (per-day), and I know he’s getting a ton of dough from his.

Kshjjhdfgjhskdfhfdshjkdfhs is an old Norwegian word for something banal. This relates to this topic because I hung out with sketchy neofolk undergrad dropouts in Austin and they said this word. I’ve never seen a bike that more typifies this word than this bike. Rob had wanted a drop-bar 29er with the ability to do bikepacking for the longest time. Then, when it was all said and done, he dropped the rest of his deposit and the bike headed over to Fresh Frame for paint. Perfect for smoking weed on the trail!

I like you.
If you could have articulated the 30 pictures out into the burlesque striptease of myspace angles he always does, then I’d love you
If he didn’t caption every picture of a bike propped against a wall “sated steed” I wouldn’t make fun of him. Makes my blood boil for some reason

Sweet Jesus he sure did.
I don’t know why I even do this to myself
What I don’t get is why all yall read prolly. I don’t even read that website and I know half the fucks in the photos. I’m wayyyyyy more into that subculture than yall and I swear I’m the only one on tarck that doesn’t read it.
Most bike blogs:
- not great photos
- written by genX burnout dudebros who seem kind of like they stopped liking bikes ten years ago but keep on blogging about them for some reason
3.tend to cover one really narrow kind of bike riding - update at most a few times a week
Radavist:
- good photos
- written by people whose enthusiasm for bikes far exceeds their grasp of written English
- decent range of bike coverage - heavy on whatever’s trendy this minute, but with some wildcard stuff tossed in
- CONTENT FIREHOSE
It’s not magic, it’s just that relatively few people want to copy the formula because there’s probably not much money to be made in bike blogging. If CycleExif or PedalConsumption wanted to update three times a day and feature advertorial videos six times a day, I’d be reading it instead. That’s the Radavist’s competition, right?
Fuck prolly I read landlords
I do genuinely enjoy the pictures of people riding their nice bikes on scenic roads, because most of my waking hours are spent in a gray cubicle looking out a window at some rooftops and a gray sky, wondering if I’ll ever get to do that
I’m trying to buy a towel from them right now
And then there’s my blog, apparently updated once every two months.
I’m about 7 from 9 these days.
Apparently.
i don’t think i’ve intentionally navigated to prolly’s website since about 2009, and even then i wouldnt say i was a reader.
I read landlords until it just became them constantly posting landlords branding shit for sale.
Reel big fish wrote a whole song about it
what
Open landlords cycling and the very first bike is this grant-approved Rivendell:
I’m feeling betrayed
Selling out
With the exception of Heiney’s (because Compass emails me three times whenever a new post goes up), I pretty much only read cycling blogs linked to here or on Facebook.
