There's over 150 miles of bike trail in the Des Moines Metro alone, fuck that idiot
And RAGBRAI. It only brings in tens of thousands of bike riders and is one of the most unique and recognizeable things Iowa is known for around the world.
This is literally the only thing I know Iowa for lol
RAGBRAI, corn, and Captain Kirk
And Radar O'Reilly
I dont believe you. The really smart man said iowa doesnt ride bikes
Terminally smartn't
I've met like three Iowans, all blue collar tradesmen, and one of them has literally biked from one side of the state to the other. From my very small sampling, I can confidently say that 1/3 of Iowans are avid bikers.
I used to live in Chicago and took my bicycle to Iowa to ride around a few times. : )
RAGBRAI
Since 1973, RAGBRAI, Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, has been a celebrated tradition, bringing thousands of cyclists and spectators together for an unforgettable journey across the state.
Dudes trying so hard to mimic Trump's cadence it's sad
The roughly infinity times worse aspect is them copying Trump's signature blown-out-asshole lip pursing. I went decades never seeing a human being do that. Those were happy times. The closest thing I can recall was the Guild Navigator from the Lynch Dune movie who was a horribly mutated creature, it sort of had the Trump Lips. Now people all over, the worst people, are doing it regularly.

Clueless asshat doesn't even know about his own state, but he sure seems to like molesters!
IOWA WELL KNOWN BASTION OF HOG CRANKIN DONORCYCLES ARROOOO
Edit- but seriously why do they hate bike lanes? I thought even motorists appreciate them because it gets bikes off the main lanes and out of traffic? Or like, does he want bikes gone all together? I'm so confused.
They are associated with the left. It's "woke".
Bikes are very much left-wing because they support environmentalism, sustainability, equality, democracy, etc., while opposing waste, destruction, violence, privilege, grifting, etc.

Look for the earlier post in this community, titled What Queer People and Cyclists Know, for a good explanation.

It's not some mystery. The car cult is an overtly fascist death cult controlled by evil corporations.
All the little manbabies doing their best to pass off their Trump impressions as how they actually speak. It's fucking pathetic.
wtf motorcyclists and bicyclists are allies in the war against cars. Every car driver who switches to a bicycle, motorcycle, or public transit improves all of our experiences.
Every bicyclist who switches to a car makes things worse for anyone riding a bicycle, motorcycle, or public transit.
motorcyclists and bicyclists are allies in the war against cars.
Tell that to the motorcyclists.

Nah, fuck motorcyclist. They are the most reckless drivers you see on the road and generate way more noise pollution than cars. Mopeds are fine to move around cities but fuck all the idiots that modify their motorbikes to make as much noise as possible and ride around all day.
Loud motorcycles and cars are obnoxious.
A 400lb vehicle behaving recklessly is an order of magnitude less hazardous to the public as a 2 ton car driving recklessly.
100% agree but I saw stats that claimed 70% of vehicles exceeding noise limits are motorbikes. So fuck motorcyclists.
You're not talking about motorcyclists
You're talking about stupid 'Muricans who ride stupid things that are the antithesis of motorcycling
My motorbike is very quiet, and it actually handles well and doesn't impinge on others
Agreed, I don't want to be #notallbikers, but the reckless loud idiots on two wheels are why the statistical death toll is so high. People cite the high fatality and think Bikers are inherently damgerous, but most of us ride safe, connect with the community, and stay hydrated.

Every bicyclist who switch to a car makes it worse for the other drivers. That's the part that these peopel always miss.
There is a motorcycle museum in Iowa that I am 99.999999% had bicycles in it because that’s part of the culture.
This guy stinks
Of course they don't ride bikes! That's exercise and exercise is clearly gay! /s
Is he imitating Trump? That speech pattern
Over here I mention how amazingly woke and leftist bikes are, and their role in supercharging the feminist movement in the early 20th century. I also link to two good videos about it, by Rebecca Watson and Climate Town.
While I don't really have the stomach for some of the harsher Magneto reversals I've imagined, this is one I can get behind, that we declare automobiles as an instrument of fascism and tyranny that should be condemned for their contribution to global pollution and the climate crisis. And this can be used to justify closing half the streets to motor traffic and limiting gas-run Non-Passenger-Work-Vehicles, (id est SUVs) to a maximum off-highway speed of 25 mph.
What is the case for being "pro ballroom"?
This reninds me of the time I was driving through Des Moines on I-80 and I noticed a Harley Davidson dealership just off the highway. About a quarter mile later I saw a wrecked Harley on the side of the road, and what appeared to be two halves of a dead guy lying in the grass. Someone's test drive was undoubtedly exhilarating.
The smallest, cheapest Harley is like 12000 USD and almost 1000cc. The latest CEO said he was going to learn to ride a bike, but ran into an issue: The only beginner bikes Harley makes are for the asian market. Small, non or barely-highway capable motorcycles being overpriced isn't exclusively a Harley problem, anywhere else in the world you can buy *something *new that will go at about 60 mph for about 1000 USD. It might take 14 seconds to get there, but it's fine for learning or getting around town. Entry level bikes or scooters in the US start at like 4000 dollars new.
But the problem of scummy dealerships telling novices they should start on the biggest sportsbike is even worse at the other dealerships, since Harleys just get shinier and more bloated as they get pricier, not so much faster.

Iowa has a ton of bike infrastructure...wtf? I love iowas bike trails
Is this why my Dad is so annoyed by bikers?
I thought that was weird, as I never heard him express that before. I kept wondering where the heck that came from.
Joe Mitchell is a worm. I guess this fuck stick has never heard of RAGBRAI.
Where car smashing the stage?
