I can’t tell you how much I’m sick of seeing bicycles posing next to death machines in my feed. My home country is in an ongoing state of war, and I live with a constant stream of horror stories and images from their endless war. I don’t even need to mention which particular war-ravaged part of the world I’m from, these death machine are a constant. There is nothing to romanticise about these things. And to me, they are completely antithetical to the spirit of cycling, which in my mind is peaceful in nature.
To counter the war machines, here’s my bike with some curious locals from a recent ride.

Glory to the brave Ukranians who fight in these machines. Also, shut the fuck up.
A great song about how the traitors of humanity manipulate the masses to think that war is some kind of good thing.
Seemingly indestructible tanks, jets that can go twice the speed of sound, shit, even weapons of mass destruction can all seem pretty cool until they’re aimed at you or those you love. The worst part is that most people never realize that’s what they’ve been designed to do in the first place.
