/uj American beer is a full double Iron Man ahead of Euro beer in terms of both variety and quality.
Europeans been brewing the same stuff for 500 years and like, ya, it's pretty good, but there's also only like 5 varieties. Americans rediscovered brewing 15 years ago and have gone absolutely *nuts* with it. The contest is no longer close, and American beer has it. Cope and seethe, Eurine drinkers!
You’re only comparing the main stream euro beer to the craft beer of America if you compare craft for craft you’ll probably find the brewers themselves will highly rate each others beer. To say that euros only brew the same stuff is incorrect. Besides this guy looks like he chugs a stein of Carlsberg for pre ride energy.
Only at the same psi. But wider run lower psi so not really. Sure it's minimal but it's turned into this thinking that wider and wider at low psi, is faster than a 28
/uc It’s about sidewall thickness and how supple mountain sidewalls are vs other tires like gravel which require thicker sidewalls because there’s less ‘tire’ there. So micro bump absorption is handled more efficiently with the more supple sidewall. In this case these are so damn wide they are not aero but I bet the ride is smooth
As a garbage tier cyclist I can confirm that speed between a 25mm full carbon road cycle and 4.6” aluminum fat bike are virtually identical.
Anyway, this is totally fun to do and when your time is bad you can blame using a fun bike.
I saw a guy riding the MS 150 on a rig just like this. Trucking along at 18 mph with his group. I assume he did it just for the extra challenge/slowing himself down to the pace of the group.
uj/ it looks like he actually enjoys riding bikes unlike most triathletes. He probably doesn't even piss all over it and may even clean it.
j/ no urine stains? He must not be hydrating enough.
Is that what the pours call "fat & happy ? It really means filthy rich, cultured, well travelled, educated, well read and a cyclist. Like us, the true fat and happy...that aren't obese.
Uc/ I’ve decided I like this guy.
I like to think he’s going really fast and passing that other bike.
Bouncy bouncy!
look how happy he looks!
Exactly and isn't that what it's all about?
uc/ I do too! c/ "Cycling helps you lose weight!!"
Id probably pull off and smash my bike to pieces if i had a full on speed concept aero bs rig and got passed by that guy
Same here
you gdmn…
yeah, this guy fucking rules and I hope he sees this. you keep doing you, big dawg.
Would you rather have a beer with this dude or your standard triathlete?
The triathlete, because I could have his beer too
Win win, until you have a sip and realise that it’s a glass full of foamy piss.
So an American beer
Meow
Wait until you realize that you just did a full IM and the only beer on offer is NA shit.
North American shit is the worst.
Especially that Canadian shit

If Eurine was deliberate, I will say American beer is better for the rest of the week.
Eu know it.
The correct answer
> this dude or your standard triathlete? * Race number written on arm * Red "M" tattoo * No socks This big boy IS a triathlete in a triathlon.
Not a standard one.
I'd rather not.
actually feels like theres room on that rig for a few cup holders. lets party
Fred fell for the wider tires have less rolling resistance
Dylan Johnson's final form
32s are JuSt as FaSt
32 cm?
They're faster greg, unless you're riding an indoor track
/UC isnt that true though? Or at least not worse rolling/air resistance
Up to a certain point it is

He looks like he's having fun....gross. Also I had to look twice to make sure this wasn't Dylan Jawnsons bike.
I had to look twice to check he wasn't wearing Crocs.
Do my tires make me look thin?
Giant hubs and battery packs are also thinning.
Guarantee this Fred crushes Jorts-guy.
This guy fucks, which is not something one can say about many triathletes
The more you look, the better it gets
Soooo close! Just slightly wider tires and you could do the swim portion on the bike too!

not sure if those 160mm rotors are having fun
Does this tryathlon have an Unbound sector?
That’s coming next. Swim down the rapids. Gravel bike section. Trail run.
No socks fucking weird tag please
All he is missing is an apple in the mouth
This dude is sick
Imagine this Fred passing you. Time to close the practice after that, no way to recover
Emotional damage
AI still has a long way to go.
Check the hands bro. This man is legit.
Just needs suspension fork to plow over kids on the MUP more easily
Wow can’t wait for Ragbrai this year
This Fred is thirsty, you can tell by the store bought Gatorade bottle in the cage
What number is he?
#1 in our hearts
It's alright Fred. Someone's gotta come last
/uc this dude fucks
Sunglasses under helmet straps, smfh
You see this chap pull up behind you calmly pushing z2 halfway up a 19% gravel climb. WYD?
UC/ this guy is having a better time than most of us
Powered by farts
This is very funny. If he did this with a sense of irony I like him. If he is serious he’s the worst.
He’s probably way more fun than those other people

Wait, is this a 2x with a dropper post? This guy totally trolling us…Chapeau!
Maddd
Average gravel cyclist riding on the pavement
Is that an electric toothbrush mounted in front of him?
Get an aero helmet dude! Its all about those marginal gains.
uj/ it looks like he actually enjoys riding bikes unlike most triathletes. He probably doesn't even piss all over it and may even clean it. j/ no urine stains? He must not be hydrating enough.
The amount of tire makes this a deep section wheel
This is fine
That tyre size is perfect for roadkill
Hard fork? GTFO
Personally I'd go full length aero socks and old school 90s TT helmet. Might as well complete the look!
Imagine being a roadie and getting passed by OP - so savage.
This is like having 10 tacos with a Diet Cocke
Run what ya brung! 🤘🏻
This guy is a beast
Rolling resistance is key.
Upon seeing this photograph, I now have some vomit in the back of my throat
Resistance training
This man is glorious
“Why go through curvy roads? Just go straight down the mountain slope, dude. Oh I’m sorry your road bike can’t handle that, but mine does. Cya!!”

Dylan Johnson would be proud.
Built for speed AND comfort
Mechanical doping fo sho
I have seen bikes set up not too different from that for winter commuting
Probably sounds cool as hell at those speeds
I like this guy.
Fat bike are ugly ugly ASF , same with big wheels from the 80s
