Gotta say that is a headline I did not expect to read...
Cycle jousting seems like an entirely sensible sport in the grand scheme of things...

Allpointsallpoints@mstdn.socialOct 19, 2026, 5:08 PM@quixoticgeek I would suggest it's great training for cycling where I live. Cycling here can often be a contact sport.

I have a bike I don't use and I've been trained to joust. Where do I sign up? 😎
Reginaldraganwald@social.bau-ha.usOct 19, 2026, 6:51 PM@quixoticgeek I think they're right!
Cycle jousting is best performed on tall bikes. Let’s get serious.

Oct 19, 2026, 11:32 PM@dragonfrog @raganwald @quixoticgeek That was... unexpected. Yes, that's the word. Unexpected.
Erwin Rossen 🔸erwinrossen@mas.toOct 19, 2026, 7:08 PM@quixoticgeek This should become a new Youtube channel: Not Joust Bikes 😅
Mer-fOKxTOwlglowl@chaos.socialOct 19, 2026, 7:19 PM@quixoticgeek would be fun if the rental bicycle companies sponsored contestants and let them use their bikes, would probably be great avertisement for them.

The purpose of a bike is what it jousts.

BoloMKXXVIIIBoloMKXXVIII@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 8:52 PM@quixoticgeek I didn't see this restriction in their terms of service. For now, joust on!

The Stage Rabbit (he/him)stagerabbit@famichiki.jpOct 20, 2026, 10:27 AM@quixoticgeek I mean, we have several sports where two people just hit each other until one of them loses. Not sure how this is different.
Oct 20, 2026, 10:29 AM@quixoticgeek I don't think horses were intended to be used for jousting either!

Urs G.uersugredu@bildung.socialOct 20, 2026, 10:37 AMBikes are perfect for jousting! 🤘
At least in #Berlin they are! 😜

I wouldn't have thought a bike known for breaking the rider's legs would be the first choice for a sport where you're likely to be knocked off the bike.
