On a DF bike you lean forward, and if your neck is straight with your spine, YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN. To look forward you have to crane our neck upward in an unnatural position. On long rides that ends up giving you neck and shoulder pain. Been there, done that.
Again, you refuse to even look a photos of regular cyclists looking forward even while THEIR FREAKING SPINES ARE LEANING FORWARD. THEY ARE NOT LOOKING DOWN! Isn't it amazing how the human body can articulate at varoius angles and yet we (except rydabrick) can still be looking straight forward with our eyes! Astounding!
Do you not have eyeballs that articulate like the rest of the world? Sorry that your physical condition did not allow you to enjoy cycling on a normal bike like the rest of us looking forward WITH OUR EYEBALLS (not our spine!), unlike yourself, and safely enjoying the view while cycling in an aerodynamic position for hours at a time without discomfort to our necks and back. Over 5 decades riding a drop bar bike and I still do not feel sore in my body evwn while loojing foreard for for hours at a time riding in an more aerodynamic than upright cyclists. I guess it must be the same way for motorcycle riders too (oops, me again); who ride leaning forward, but looking forward and wearing a much heavier helmet when doing so. Some comsic event help us should rydabench ever get on a motorbike as he/she/they is looking down at their front wheel 50% of the time and cannot ride without pain from looking forward. Yes, all bicycle and motorcycles riders in the world cannot possibly be proof the rydablank is wrong and is merely applying transference of his/her/their personal condition upon everyone else.
I will come back after summer; I need to go out and ride more so I can see what re-trlcycle loungers and riders are missing, and laugh with joy knowing I can do it without pain or looking at my front wheel like rydabent admits he/she/they did when painfully riding his/her/their normal bike.
Do actually what you say does apply to normal cyclists. Again, you are deluded into thinking that how you rode a normal bicycle (looking down at your front wheel 50% or more of the time) while experiencing pain due to poor physical condition or personal anatomy is how the majority of normal cyclists also do and suffer from doing. You are nuts and I will comtinue to counter your BS statements with fact and knowledge. I will not bother with imagery since are too blind either physically or psychologically to admit to and acknowledge that proof that sits right under your nose.
Your "proof" photo proves my point. It was taken at a low angle (down), so the riders appear to be looking forward, but they are actually looking down. It is the natural position on a DF bike. Your argument really dont hold water.
Okay world rydanent is officially a freaking senile nutcase!
Now he/she/they is trying to take obvious photos of cyclists looking forward and rationalize his/her/their falacy by now blaming it on camera angles. Wharlt a freak. Must be related to a US "president" that lies and contorts truth to appease a twisted mind.
Obviously, I could provide tons of photos showing cyclists not looking at their front wheel like rydablock does 50% of the time when he/she/they ride a non-recumbent bike because he/she/they are not a cyclist. Normal average everyday cyclists watch where they are riding (as evidenced clearly in photos!!). I hope he/she/they did not teach their kids to ride the same way as themselves; though if probably help sort out some bad genes from gene pool with the family crashing into stuff while looking at their front wheels like rydabung does.
So now rydabird, I will post those photos as a separate thread and get the rational (this does not apply to you rydabilge since you are not of rational though in your present condition; just read what the sane folks say!) opinions as to where the cyclists in the photos are directing their gaze and if camera angle trickery is actually changing the perspective of the view making cyclists who, though in reality are looking forward, can somehow without logic be reinterpretted by the irrational into making them think that all those cyclists are actually looking down at their front wheel. I know it sounds insane, but when dealing with the insane all one can do is keep throwing their perverse thought process in front of the public, continue to allow themselves to be exposed as an irrational thinker, and as a warning for others to avoid taking what they state as gospel truth in the light of overwhelming evidence contrary to the irrational claim by rydablip.
This will be more fun and more wasted server space for the platform; but oh well, rydabong needs to continually be exposed as irrational and not thinking clearly while trying to defend his/her/their insane statements with more insane statements about cyclists looking at their front wheels tje majority of the time which is blantantly false as we all know. First rydabling went with "looking at front wheel" to just "looking down" so even wording is being changed slightly. Just another sign of dementia. And he/she/they continue to think that head angle is related to eye and vision angle. As previously mentioned; it is believed by myself that rydaboink cannot move his/her/their eyes in their sockets and thus are struck looking only in the direction of where the skull is oriented. I do feel sorry for thosecwith the "glued eyeball" syndrome; but do not assume that majority of those of us with articulating eyeballs are looking in the direction of where our akulls are oriented. We, those with articulating eyeballs, have the tremendous super hero abililty to have our heads tilted SLIGHTLY downwards and yet still be able to look straigjt forward! Amazing! Try it rydaburp; maybe your eyeballs just need some exercise to get those eyeball muscles working again. First tilt your head forward at about 45° and then, using all of your mental capacity (even the insane part), attempt to roll your eyeballs to look straight forward. Remember, do not move your head, only your eyeballs. Practice this daily rydaboob and you to will ne able to ride an actual bicycle while looking forward regardless of whether your head is tilted down or not. Do not become frustrated rydabeak since it is a very difficult skill to master; but the entire cycling community us here to support your the training of your brain to make you a safer cyclist should you ever consider riding a machine again instead of riding rolling furniture or a tricycle.
Of course, I again will be hit with another insane comment from rydabrake, but that is what this thread has turned into: a search for truth and logic and the esposure of one (and only one!) tricycle owner's (probably cannot even ride with that "frozen eyeball" problem) continual spewing of lies and irrational thought. As of yet I have not seen one comment supporting any of the insane claims made by rydabraut. One would think that another sane person would have observed and experienced the same thing to the degree that rydaboat has; and yet not one comment supporting rydabunion's baseless claims.
Sorry, I was delayed in my summer vacation so got a couple comments to toss out before R&R.
Oh crap, another photo of cyclists not looking down while riding. Especially notice that the rear rider has his head tilted down, but his eyes are clearly looking straight ahead. Clearly neither of these riders suffered from the dreaded "frozen eyeball" syndrome that rydabridge is afflicted with (and apparently thinks all cyclists have). Oh wait; it is just more photographic manipulation; that photohrapher was a genius!
Keep riding as you are folks since I know you are all looking forward as there have been no reports of mass casulties around the world caused by cyclists looking down at their front wheel!
And now rydaburrito I will expose your foolishness elsewhere.
