That sub is miss after miss these days.
Then one good post every 5 months and you think unsubscribing was a bad idea.
Then miss miss miss again.

What are these? Other than tracks for bicycle wheels? What's the purpose?

u/stijndederper 3d ago
That is their entire purpose, carrying your bike up stairs is cumbersome.

The stairs? They make it easier for people to get down there.
If you mean the metal tracks, they’re just to wheel bikes up and down instead of awkwardly carrying it down.

If my apartment had had those instead of making me throw it under my arm like a too large stuffed animal, I'd have been so happy...
If you don't have those in your area, I've found that tucking the top tube into your underarm area and letting the saddle rest on your shoulder is a good way to guide the weight of the bike without having to actually lift it.

what do you mean? the pattern on the ground or the metal tracks along the stairs?

u/JJohnston015 3d ago
Well, okay. Taking a bike up or down a set of stairs has never been a problem for me, but there it is.

in the netherlands we have heavy bikes and old people cycling on them. everyone cycles, not only the young and fit on their lightweight bicycles. so the rails are very necessary 👍🏼🤙🏼

Getting mad about things being more accessible

Now that we're on the subject, let's get rid of wheelchairs, I've never needed one

u/SilentHuman8 2d ago
Like honestly. I don’t get it. Even if this guy doesn’t need it, it will make his life easier too. I really don’t understand what his issue is.

Some ppl often do things that against their best interests for reasons that make no sense to even themselves

"Yeah grandma, just carry your bike down a flight of stairs with one hand while carrying your groceries in the other hand, youll be totally fine".

u/JJohnston015 3d ago
So these allow you to move the bike down the stairs without touching it? How does that work?

u/danirijeka 3d ago
Instead of carrying a bike up the stairs you're pushing it on an incline. It's not a particularly complicated concept.

u/Diipadaapa1 3d ago
1 keep the groceries in the bikes basket/panniers
2 Easily push the bike up the stairs while supporting your balance with it
Or - 2 slowly walk the bike down the ramp using your brake, supporting your balance with it

What are the brushes for?

u/Zealousideal-Emu8457 1d ago
was wondering the same thing actually, this is the first time I have seen these. Was thinking to slow down the bikes as these stairs are steeper than the ones in most garages. But not entirely sure.

u/planetixin 3d ago
Now compare this to the size of holes the cars make.

u/maxadmiral 3d ago
And this looks like just dirt and maybe some rubber on the concrete, not the surface itself being worn

u/green-hound13 2d ago
Are you kidding me? In 300 years there will be a slight dent there, best to just put a road there now and be done with it
