The pp size is inversely proportional to the truck size.

that's why I ride a bike.

I could get away with a unicycle if it weren't for my MASSIVE SCHLONG requiring support and it's easier that way than getting two unis.

I suppose you are using a lady bike then so there's more space for the schlong?

[–] Im_old 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No I have a sheat for the schlong on the horizontal bar of the frame

Ironically with a woman's bike IRL

Traditionally bikes for women had the horizontal stabilizing bar much lower probably to account for dresses and the like, but the differences has been slightly washed out over the years.

The top bike is referred to as the "lady bike", as you've said, but for any external viewers, the top bike is probably a better choice for city bike in general. There's the point about not having to swing your leg around when mounting and dismounting the bike, true, but the bike also promotes an upright seating position as opposed to a totally horizontal, leaned down, motorcycle like position, which will be more comfortable for long ride periods for most riders, at the cost of aerodynamics. The bottom bike is extreme overkill for most uses, but it's also the bike you're going to probably see most often in the US outside of mountain bikes, since nobody tends to commute on bike here.

I'm picturing the two unicycle method illustrated in the style of Dr Seuss

I prefer walking, and use a bicycle when it's possible. So sadly doesn't check out.

Bicycle size isn't zero, you you pp size isn't infinity. It does check out.
