Nice! What was xbiking about? I thought I had been subbed to all the cycling subreddits but had missed that one. My jam these days is bikepacking, I love the combo of biking far and camping. Glad you made this community!

xbiking has always been a sort of loosely defined thing, but if I had to define it in a sentence I'd say it's cycling that is done primarily for adventure, with a certain disregard for the conventional cycling ethos which can kinda fall into snobbery at times.
Here's an archive.org link of a reddit thread where the creator of /r/xbiking explains it. It was by far one of my favourite subreddits, and I hope we get some similar activity here!
Excuse me, I spend most of my time on three wheels moving my kids around. This egregious discrimination from the two wheeled community will not stand :D
I'm going to assume that normal bike-like electric assisted bikes like this are alright too:
A good reason for that is because I find there is a staggering lack of basic bike knowledge in /r/ebikes (frames, componentry, mechanics) and people aren't getting any of it since they're segregated into their own echo chamber.
I hope that cannon is part of the bike
What caliber shells does your bike fire?
hey! I started a community called "mtb" ([email protected]) but the instance I'm using does not allow yet to upload images correctly
nice to see !bicycle community finally!
