    Those Flying Pigeon style bikes you seen all over Asia are so cute and cozy to me. They’re loud AF and make a metal rattle noise, they’re fixed gear, and you’re not gonna get any sweet jumps off one. But they’re so sturdy and pleasant to ride. The chain guards are awesome and make sure grease doesn’t get all over your pants.

    I’ve ridden several that were similar to the red one in the third picture down when I’ve been to places in east Asia. I rode a blue one down a mountain near Kyoto a while back. Bikes are cool. I’d love to do a bike tour of the DPRK someday.

      I want to do a train tour when I go to Vietnam and then China in 2025.

          Me too. I’m meeting another CPUSA member there (well, hopefully, we’re still trying to time it).

          I also have a few CPC members to meet.

            Well there are 98 million of them so try randoms on the street your chances are pretty good

              BWAHAHAHHAHAA

              Yeah, specifically, these are people in my Weixin / WeChat group.

              Several of them in that group are queer or trans, which is based, and I’ve always wanted to meet them.

              But yeah, I could also just, you know, ask around…

              megamind please

              But yeah, I hope to get them here one day (Lemmygrad and Hexbear).
