Apparently Trek doesn't think people should be allowed to publicly support our favorite President. Sucks because I've owned two Trek bikes. Will never own another one.
Thing is, it's not only Trek and that's why I think there are many more people who silently/secretly support and will vote for Trump than the polls reflect. Problem is that the left have pulled out all stops using Covid-19 to lie cheat and steal away the election by way of ballet harvesting, throwing away GOP ballots, massive fraud, and whatever else they think they can get away with.
Chinese are very smart. Never would have believed a ridiculously fake pandemic narrative would hold water for 8 MONTHS let alone 8 days.
We're such a wicked, stupid, and fallen people. Why don't we just repent and go back to Renaissance?
There's no shame in admitting a mistake. There's shame in committing the same mistake constantly.
What you describe did happen in large numbers last weekend. I added my prayers to the effort as well.
What's a trek bike? Never heard of them, but I don't buy overpriced stuff.
I had one when I was younger. A Trek Mountain Track. I bent the fork on it one time/when I went in to replace it, the guy said, “oh, well this bike isn’t really made for mountain biking, which is why the fork bent.”
I thought that was outrageous, given the name of the model, and never bought another.
Armstrong and his U.S Postal team made Trek famous
Well, this was back in the mid 90s when Armstrong was still largely unknown and doing mountain bike races/I met him a Kelly Creek Bike Race when I went with my Boy Scout troop. I didn’t know or care who he was at that point though..
Hahaha. Wow. Never did mountain biking cause I'm more into touring.
I think the fanciest bike I have is a swing bike, but it's a classic from the 70s. The new ones have two similar sized wheels, which look weird to me.
Trek is owned by a super lefty that ran for governor of Wisconsin a few years ago.
Leftism cannot withstand dissent, and therefore leftists cannot tolerate dissent. Yuri tried to warn us, not enough people heard or heeded the warning, and now it has come to pass.
They want us to cower and be afraid of expressing support for our favorite President. The anti-American freaks want us, the normal people who don't want to see America destroyed, to feel marginalized.
Jose Been choking on Chinese cccks
Bikes are fine if they stay off the fucking roads.
There are plenty of places that have bike paths etc. along rivers or in parks or whatever. I'm fine with this. I used to do it when I was younger, just chill tf out, listen to a book, ride along a river or something and get some exercise.
I have a brand new foldable bike in the back of my SUV I've been waiting to break out for this exact purpose.
But goddamn I hate cyclists, especially the gay shit they wear and the fact they are a massive traffic hazard.
We don't let you go fucking hiking on a road, but you hop on a bike and suddenly it's okay?
Self-absorbed cucks. I wish it was legal to hit them.
I was driving the other day and there were three or four of them. There's a goddamned bike lane on the side of the road (which shouldn't be there anyway).. and I swear to Christ instead of hugging the side of the road like they should, they were nearly out of their own damn lane. Pretty sure their mirrors or handlebars or whatever were straight up over the line.
To the point where as I passed them I was within like two inches of accidentally ending their life and heading to jail. They didn't give two fucks.
Can't stand these people.
You can't switch lanes an pass something with a cruising speed of 25 mph?
I've wondered if people like this get this mad when they get stuck behind a tractor or something similar.
Hey, maybe they were transporting Biden to the debates, and couldn't jostle him too much by passing a clearly visible (since they commented on the appearance) slow-moving vehicle on a standard width American road going in the same direction as them. You never know. Maybe they're an incompetent driver, incompetent drivers can be pedes too, but they should probably start taking the bus if a bicycle on a paved road presents some type of insurmountable obstacle to them. I'd hate for something like a car to be in the same road as them, those are far larger, and far harder to pass, they'd be simply traumatized about sharing a road with a car.
Not everybody lives in rural South Dakota or some shit.
In my neighbourhood, which isn't even the downtown of a major city, on the main road there's only one lane and the streets are fairly small.
You get some dipshit cyclist who can't be bothered to pay attention and stay well inside their bike lane and essentially hug the side of the road, and your option is to either sit behind them going 15 miles an hour, or attempt to incredibly carefully pass them, but you've got about two inches between yourself and a jail cell if anything ever happened.
So they can safely fuck right off.
That's weird. Every down town I've been though has two lanes and I'm pretty sure you can legally pass slow moving vehicles across a double yellow.

Bro I hope one day you see how much of an assfuck faggot you are. Maybe get off your lazy ass and cycle on a proper bicycle before judging AND THREATENING others for literally following the law. Deport this hillary loving cuck
Don't be mad just because you're a spandex loving shithead loser
you're autistic, what does spandex have to do with riding a bike?
I like cycling.
Patience will reduce your eustress levels and make you live a longer, healtheir life.
Local roads are 92% generally funded (as in not car taxes). That 92% comes from things like income tax and property tax. People that cycle are more wealthy than average; therefore paying more than their fair share of the taxes needed to maintain the same roads they are using. Cyclists are also 50% likely to own a truck and more likely than a non-cyclist to own an actual car.
Bikes would be fine on the roads if they would actually stop at stopsigns/red lights instead of flying through intersections
That sounds like attempted suicide
Plenty of cities where riding on the sidewalk would get you fined.
And this aerodynamic helmet really shaves milliseconds off my 20 minutes ride. Travel the world and see how people ride bikes and then return to America and wonder WTF. Gotta dress like you're a professional racer lol.
They used to call me the village bike. Everyone gets a ride.
Found the guy from Texas lol
I know a guy from DFW who decided to ride a bike to work one day (he's pretty good ole boy but wanted to save some money and get in shape). First day out, on his way home a truck came by honking and he felt something odd on his back. So he stopped and was like, "holy fuck I've been shot". Somebody straight up shot his ass with a .22 for riding a bike.
.22 didn't even pierce the skin LMAO
The official line from the team is he’s suspended because he used a “dark-skin emoji”.
I’m not shitting you, they think that’s racist.
No they don't. Just fits their narrative.
I’m sure it does, but people go along with it because they believe it.
They go along with it because otherwise they get fired. Just like the Trek rider
Yeah I’m sure all those cycling faggots are secret Trump supporters, just biding their time to make cycling great again
I'd bet a sizable sum that many of them are Trump supporters. I have MAGA friends that are really into cycling. Once the Left subverts an organization they will punish any dissent, so dissenters usually remain quiet to avoid punishment.
I'm not orange so is that bad my phone defaults to those? Oh no
They would say the same if it was white.
Voicing any public dissent of leftism in 2020 is a brave act.
Trump needs to pull an Abe Lincoln when push comes to shove. Shut down propaganda or heavily penalize them and make them eat losses
My favorite part of the Tour de France was when the winner of the daily stage, after sitting in the peloton for 5 hours next to 200 sweating men without wearing masks, was forced to wear a mask when giving interviews
Did you watch the last stage? They (the race organizers) were trying to do a PRO-BLM message before the start of the stage where everyone would ride for the first 2.5 miles or so of the race locked in arms with the only black rider (Kevin Reza) leading the pack. The riders refused it and the announcers were all confused because it was planned.
No, I didn't see it but I'm not surprised they tried to destroy pro cycling with that crap. Good for the riders. Pro cycling has always been a blue collar sport, the working man's sport. A tough sport for tough men. If you want to make it you have to be on your bike everyday for 8 hours in all kinds of weather. Not a sport for snowflakes
The organizers, commentators, the sponsors, and Bike manufacturers are doing their best to get BLM's message in the sport. The riders are having none of it. Trek has taken a big hit lately since the police departments use their bikes which were used to defend against the rioters.
meanwhile, the top rated comment in this thread is:
I would be embarrassed to be that guy.
Peak cringe
That sounds hilarious
Yeah that would have been an accident waiting to happen. One dude wiped it the whole chain would have gone.
Lol. I was banned from the Runescape reddit for a comment that consisted of 2 emojis.
"🤡🌎"
That, is just sad. To think a person could be triggered enough by emoji's to drop a ban on you.
What a weak, weak human.
What's really sad is anyone still using reddit
Drop a few pills here and there, take the downvotes, wash and repeat
Not in the subs that are too far off the deep end to have any rational thought in them, but a few others you can slip some in
Yeah, and it wasnt even about anything political. It was a post about the scandal when Jagex fired the guy because he found a piece of paper left in the printer that showed how much the higher ups were stuffing their pockets .
As someone who used to love Runescape during its early days, and even into the early to mid 2010s, fuck that game and what it's become.
Indeed. It makes me sad.
Yet another MMO killed by MTX. I don't have it in me to play it anymore but it still holds a place in my heart. 😢
The first game I experienced this bullshit was on this 2D MMO called Darkages. They stopped giving game updates besides the stupid "item shop" they implemented, that had both cosmetics and pay to win shit. Game died to less than 100 people by the time I finally quit for good. But god, I miss that game. 😤
There's a surprising amount of Trump supporters on runescape though lmao.
I've seen guys with names like blue lives matter and I always say Trump 2020 at the exchange, and often when one faggot says he's racist, multiple people have joined in to clown him
Damn I loved RuneScape. I had played since classic, and stopped just before the combat overhaul. OSRS was fun too.
I liked the graphic overhaul and I quit when EoC happened but regretted that cause I missed the first God War world event which really bummed me out cause Zamorak is my shit.
Man, it's almost like we should have stood up to this cancel culture bullshit years ago smh. I assume we had to work and couldn't be bothered to organize anything, as is our way.
Cancel Culture...
Yep, Two things all Pedes should understand in this LIberty vs Marxism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zersetzung
Well we sort of have been for years. I know I and many others see companies and brands that they try and cancel and that makes us start buying their stuff permanently. I had no idea who Goya was a few months ago and now when I buy beans it's all I buy. As a side sleeper I don't care much for MyPillow but I bought and use them. Whenever a lefty boycotts someone I just start buying those products and patronizing those businesses. Likewise I've cancelled Netflix, won't see certain movies, etc. I can't think of a more effective way to stand up to it.
currently shopping for a bike - this will make selection a bit easier - no trek for me!
So, the other guy says he hopes for the fall of America, and that's just peachy. So, the guy rooting for the deaths of tens of millions and the ruin of hundreds of millions lives isn't the hateful fascist? lol
This double standard only happens is because of the flagrant disregard of companies like twitter Reddit Facebook etc. big tech prune acceptable discrimination.id rather they just left most of it up like how 4chan does
Trek bikes made in CHYNA now. Have been for years.
What's funny is, a lot of Trek bikes are made by Giant which is a Taiwanese company. Taiwan. A place where China wants to dominate. When China turned Commie, the good people who sensed it fled to Taiwan.
Giant's high-end bikes are so advanced, they weave the carbon fiber specific to the frame's needs.
I don't know if they've (Trek) moved it to China.
The only reason China even knows about carbon fiber and how to lay it up is because we taught them. Europeans too.
It is no secret that Carbon fiber composites are a Western invention.
In fact, it was the factory unions that forced companies to move their manufacturing overseas.
Schwinn factory union workers were responsible for the collapse of Western bike manufacturing and contributed to Giant to become, well, a giant.
95% of the brands are. They all use the same groupsets anyway.
I’ve actually been looking for new bikes for my kids and was just about to drop $1,500 for two Treks, but now that’s out the window. Can anyone recommend a quality “made in the USA” bike company?
Unfortunately all the mainstream bike manufacturers are made in CHYNA nowadays. If you are willing to shell out some $ I think Santa Cruz bikes are made in the US.
Celeste Bianchis are classy AF
Individual models of different brands are often made in various Asian countries. My Scott is made in the Phillipines.
Ah just forget the brands and go https://www.bikesdirect.com/
You'll pay half and get the same or better stuff
They are like the rockauto of bikes
If you're handy and mechanically inclined you can have a lot of fun building bikes yourself. Just buy a couple of frames off ebay and the components and bike tools and put it together. You'd get something a lot nicer than what Trek would sell you and spend less than $1500. (Much much less.) Youtube literally has videos you can watch for free for any step that gives you trouble. Bikes aren't all that complicated. It's a fun weekend project / hobby (if you like that sort of thing.)
It also makes you a lot more comfortable if anything ever goes wrong, because you'll know exactly how everything works and goes together.
Fatback. Made in Alaska, I think.
IMO you're better off getting a couple used bikes, if you were willing to spend $1500, you can definitely get a couple nice bikes well under $750 each. That way you'renot buying from china or some shit company, your money is going to a local person, and that's 2 less bikes that have to be made and shipped here with the environmental damage that causes.
Plus you can save a lot of money and if you get a bike that needs a tune up you can do it with your kids and teach them.
Why wouldn't the ultimatum be considered the issue. Blatantly trying to out someone's political beliefs in order to cause harm to them that hold them "is" hate speech. In this case it was proven as such. Clown world.
"Land of the free"
Anyway to support this man? Is there any contact information for his team? Anything thing at all where we can flood it with support?? This is just wrong that just because you support the President you can be so easily censored and have your life and career flipped. This crap has been going on way too much and these idiots in the media wonder why so many are supposedly silent about their support.
remember trek is owned by failed WI Democratic candidate for governor Mary Burke's family.
I remember that. She was a Hard Lefty like many descendants of super successful entrepreneurs.
That's a pretty harsh measure that would wipe out some really good companies. As an alternative, how about removing tax breaks for foundations after the founder dies? That way the hardcore lefties who always seem to infiltrate and eventually capture the control of foundations will have a harder time funding their hijinks indefinitely.

Stop using Twitter.
Hmmm, this is interesting. Someone should forward Peter Flaxks tweet to Didi Marteschitz, the owner of Red Bull. He likes Trump but hates when people who work for him get involved in hate speech. Flex is EIC for Red Bulletin.
Anyway, I seem to miss how this Tweet is related to Simmons being kicked off TREK.
Armstrong and his team of doping cheaters rode Trek
he culturally appropriated that emoji as he is clearly not as black as Kamala Harris.
you _get_what_you_deserve_joker.avi
To be clear, he was kicked out for the emoji not the word.
Peter Flax & Jose Been are very sick people.
Bicyclists are notoriously (although perhaps not unanimously) liberal shitbags. Something about the sport attracts faggots.
Trek bikes... Made in Chyyyyyna. Enough said.
I blame shitty Rhino RNC for not immediately sueing the first reporter for liable when they went the racist sexist ist-ist angle. That should've been an easy class action lawsuit right from the getgo.
Sue them, Quinn.
Save your receipts -- they are going to be shocked when they realize they've been supporting vile fascists who LIE about being vile fascists and say the other guy is.
Pro cycling took a knee
Well Cannondale is a much better unit for the money. And trumps NOT a racist. The accusers are racist like Peter flax. You fag
need stick in bike spokes meme
I guess trek / bontrager don't want any more of my money.
Edit:. The roscoe is still fun a s fuck though.
Who the fuck is jose hasbeen and peter flack?
Totally surprising from a company that caters to soy faggots.
I smell a lawsuit
TREK is GARBAGE, MADE in china crap...
Fuck Trek. Never owned one, never will now. Bye-bye!
Ohh shit!!! If a guy like you roots for someone else I might lose since it's your desires that control the entire cycling world.
Former allies(?) are not allies so they can fuck right off. In fact the entire sport of cycling can die off and the world will not have changed in any meaningful way. Jose Been sounds a lot like "has been" but even in his hayday did nothing important. In order to go I need to have given a single fuck in the first place. Now go back to cheating and doping like the rest of you all do and keep to yourself. Also, never set foot in the US.
Bye Trek.
Then again I havent bought one in 15 years. Current garage is: Cervelo x2, Cannondale x2, and Kona.
Former allies. They are so full of themselves it's ridiculous. WE PAY YOUR FUCKING BILLS SCUM.
I heard he was only suspended for 1 race.
