Good on you, buddy. When you say they don't talk about it, do you mean among each other or with others? If the former, maybe you could use questions about bike maintenance as a way to start the conversation?
There aren't many others who also bike. It also feels weird to start a convo just from that.
You could just ask something like, what's the best lubricant for your chain, something like that. You'll know from that if they're the type to nerd out about bikes. Good luck!
Idk, there are only so many people, that seems like a weird way to start, and it can be easily looked up. I haven't had a bike for very long, so I've never lubricated my chains. Different times, thanks for the advice anyways.
Oh I see. I guess it's a different culture where you are.
(you should have lubricated your chains already btw. Give them a clean with degreaser or washing up liquid, let them dry, then add lubricant. Every month or so, more in wet weather. Regular maintenance will save you a lot in repair costs)
Thanks
