Where exactly are you putting the chamois cream?
We seamlessly transitioned from Zwift -TR merger jokes to Bidets… this group thinks outside the box.

If you use a hose or power washer to clean your bike, and you time when you wash your bike properly, you won’t even need a bidet
Right exactly where I need it. I thought this was a no judgment zone?!
No judgement. I’ve never used chamois cream.
Don’t worry - this is a safe space.
I no longer regret my mostly unliked PZRZS joke made upthread.
LOL LOL LOL - TR Memes, still the best bike thread on the internet.

Oh my sweet summer child…![]()
[not implying that is not a lot of money - just that there are way more expensive bikes out there…and…I just ruined a questionably witty reply]
I just started again after a ‘bad experience’. I think we can leave it at that.
(They did say ‘use a lot’. It sounded really sketchy at the time)
I don’t know if I helped my case or not: I showed her a picture of a $12,000 bike, and tried really hard to contain the drool.
She declared that ‘ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD PAY THAT MUCH FOR A BICYCLE!’.
I remember my dad telling me that ‘Mom would never let me buy a motorcycle’, as he was showing me the motorcycle he bought days after she died. I was tempted to say ‘And you couldn’t wait until she was cold?’, but thought the better of it. ![]()

I did buy a fixie. I was at the LBS looking for tubes, and ‘other sundry items’, and they had a sale on fixies. I asked about sizes and how they were rated, and then the price. I was shocked. For such a nice looking bike, the price was really reasonable. I said ‘Don’t wrap it, I’ll take it as is!’ and put it in the back.
I got home and was wheeling it into the ‘shop’ to go over it, and was spotted! ‘Who much did that cost? It looks expensive, huh!’
$495!
‘NO WAY! You don’t by cheap bikes!’
Showed her the receipt. She was stunned for nearly a week…![]()

Now, for the upgrades. Hmm… ![]()
