now that autumn rain is here I can no longer skate to work and have to cycle instead so I made this meme as a coping mechanism
Uses both hands, how are you supposed to smoke?

if you cant unwrap a fresh pack, flip a lucky, pull out the next one, and light it without touching the handle bars, don't talk to me.
Literally true
also, easy to drink. you can even have a handlebar bag with more beers in it
number of songs about sk8er bois: 1
number of songs about cyclists: 0
You claim that skater is chad, yet they cannot handle seasonal weather. Curious 
Skating is cooler, but for a distance over 3 miles and you gotta go bike.
sorry but 4 wheels bad, 2 wheels good
it's in the manifesto. look it up.
i used to buy weed off this guy 10 years my junior who rode his longboard everywhere in a town where nobody rides a skateboard even in parks. in those days, i walked basically everywhere so i have the pedestrian annoyance for people with wheels, since cars are assholes and everybody else (cyclists, scooter clowns, etc) is shoved onto a piece of concrete about 24" wide.
but not this kid and his longboard. my man just cruised everywhere in a relaxed standing position, like some kinda goddam wizard magicking his ass around town. with weed.

Roller blades tho
Most of the positives of skateboard here also go for EUCs except they can go 30+
and you're only a single battery failure away from the faceplant of a lifetime
I actually recently had a battery failure after about 9000 miles on my EUC and it just disabled the failed battery and told me "please repair" while keeping me from faceplanting with the other battery. All my crashes have been either skill issues on my end or cars existing, fuck cars.
it just disabled the failed battery and told me "please repair"
I'm happy that they had foresight into that exact problem, lucky you lol.
I dig the cyberpunk unicycle trend, and I hope that they continue to design them safely.
They're always getting safer and more powerful, and those two do actually go together in self balancing vehicles. That's why the Onewheel is so unsafe, because it doesn't have the power or redundancy to have any safety margin like EUCs do.
Onewheel
well, in that case, I think that it is safe to say that Onewheel can eat my shit and hair
They deliberately built the Onewheel without any speaker or even beeper to warn the rider because they thought it wouldn't be "cool." An Inmotion EUC pushed to its limit will tell you "overload, please get off" and gently slow you to a stop, a Onewheel pushed to its limit will just fuckin drop you.
i think it's neat there's a little pulley on the chain to get that extra bit of force, and that the work is all about the difference in radius between the gears and the wheel
Counterpoint: Kick, push, repeat.
never seen a skater hauling 50lbs of groceries
I guess we don't live in the same city then 
I like biking, but it's enough work that if I'm not driving, I'm walking. Back in the day I biked for hours every day and I did a bunch of insane maintenance and stuff to have the quality to not die in traffic. The prep-time for biking can be intense if you're truly dedicated.
