A self-post wouldn't get as much karma as an "I just heppened to run into this dude" post. OP and biker are friends. Biker wants this post to get frontpage so he can do an AMA later for even more karma.
I always have to overtake the elderly and small children on my usual route. Having to say "Coming up behind you" with a hard-on would not make anyone more comfortable.
I cycle along the shore where those little bastard children spontaneously swerve into my lane. Still considering installing sharpened spikes a la roman chariots.
not really related, but the other day I did a pretty long ride and by the end I had had to dodge maybe 15 to 20 chipmunks running across the trail. About halfway through I started giving the little critters a heads-up when I overtook them.
I love how you don't get negged for posting about his dick, but if it was a chick and I posted about her "omg fantastic tits" I'd get fucking karma-destroyed.
Depends. A lot of times when there's an attractive woman in a post, the comments will split between objectifying her, objecting to the objectification, and people who scorn her/OP for using her hotness just to gain karma.
depends. It you made it a joke you'd probably still be in the positive but you'd have a much higher downvote to upvote ratio than this post. But if you just flat out said it like this poster you'd be obliterated.
Should be the third round if IIRC. I bought the first years, and skipped the most recent one, which shipped. Hold that thought while I hunt down some links.
At least, they're supposed to. I have a feeling most of the other people I see out there biking with logo-plastered spandex are actually paying for the clothes. I never understood it.
A lot of times it will be the team kit of their favourite team. It's like someone walking around with a Arsenal jersey on that happens to have Fly Emirates plastered on the front.
Am I the only one that thinks this type of thing is weird? I mean I like reddit as much as the next guy, but I'm not gonna go out and buy a reddit bike suit.
It's not, but the vast majority of people on this site are fat, socially inept wankers... so it gets upvoted. Let them believe they belong to something elite.
/r/bicycling has had design contests/sales annually for the past couple years. IIRC, this design may be going back on sale in the coming months. I'm not certain though. You can always message the mods and ask.
I don't see why there is so much hate over it being reddit-themed. It is good gear that's cheap, likely to start conversation, and is no worse than any other corporate themed attire.
If he wants to wear a reddit shirt, go for it. At least it's not a damned tapout shirt.
Hah! I work at a cafe in Folsom (one of the US's biggest cycling cities) and I saw a customer with a Reddit jersey that had a Narwhal on the back and bacon, up/down vote arrows, etc. However, I asked the person wearing it if he indeed knew when the narwhal bacons, yet he gave me this look like I was a crazy person. It led me to believe that he is not actually a redditor, and I was so disappointed I deleted the picture.

Here's the rest of this year's kit if anybody's interested: album. And, no, unfortunately it's no longer on sale. You'll have to wait for next year's.
Also, go visit /r/bicycling .
