Rides and Races - Boston rides

some of you all ride real scary.

and whoever tries to race me when I'm on my way into work, or on my way home after working on my bike all day, you're a ****** bag, I'm glad I let y ou win, I'm also glad you can't stop worth ****, nor make your way through intersections.

god damnit I hate the spring/summer crowd.

spoken like a slow guy

don't be a ******

the slowest of the slow.

pretty sure (maybe not warrantchief by his/her comment, but sarcasm is often lost here) that the few of us on the forums have met you at some point and know you're down-to-earth you can hold more than your own...

a ****** bag is a hygenic product, so i consider that a compliment..

ah **** all.

Slower than the slowest of the slow.

p.s. Come play

thank you.

I'm also bad at matching up online alias' with real people at times.

I know I've met a good handful of you all on here from boston, and most are real good people.



there was a ride last night, it was real real bad. the amount of people acting totally inappropriate just because we were in a big group was horrible. Like, playing chicken with cars, when we're just supposed to go on a fun, playful, mellow ride is not cool, as well as screaming at pedestrians, taking up all lanes of traffic(it really gives us a bad name), and just riding dangerously.


Was anyone there last night? I was riding the bike with the cruiser bars and basket, I also lost my blue slurpie over by one lincoln on boylston.

There was certain amount of sarcasm in my comment.

That being said, excuses are like *******s. Whining about the other guy's lack of etiquette/bike handling skill seems petty/like something a roadie would do.

You should only be allowed to ***** about the fair weather riders after they try to race you and fail.

thank you.

yeah people should have been more together, but whatever.
you were complaining the whole ****ing time, trying to tell people what to do and what not to do...
but forsome reason you stuck with us the entire time?

I like riding my bike, I did stick with you all, I knew a bunch of people there as well, mostly, the people that were courtious of traffic. Me and my friend's jo and mike, and a couple other kids wanted to ride as well, it was interesting.

I didn't complain, I told people when they were riding like ****** bags, they're part of the reason that no one respects me and my bike as traffic when I'm ****ing working on it 5 days a week, and using it as my every mode of transportation.

say I was complaing, and that people weren't riding like *******s, and then let's fight.

I sensed the sarcasm in your response, and it was appreciated, I hope my return sarcasm was read as well.

I love racing. I'll race people if they want, it'll be fun.

people will always ride like ****** bags, especially in large groups. boston's traffic isn't going to get better because of you yelling at some kids about riding in one lane. there is critical mass every month and that too gives bikes a bad name, and makes cars pissed off. all about telling kids traffic saftey and stuff, but then darting through red lights when there were tons of kids behind you wanted to obey the light and not cut off cars??
so do you make it a point to come to every large group of people biking and tell them that they dont know how to ride bikes? and how they should be considerate of YOU and YOUR job? the way you act, i dont see how strangers would give a **** about what you think or about your job?? and the way you were acting the night of the ride gives messengers a bad rep.

thank you.

i was there. iro with blue rims. sparks and bailey works make you a coooool kid...

there were some people who were questionable, i will admit. it happens. in time they will learn. in the meantime, i'll try not to let the actions of others affect me. maybe next time (if there is a next time) someone else should take the lead though, heh...

That's the spirit! Throw down the gloves!

how about everyone just show up at Kings today (see Chuck Norris's comments), eat free food and play free pool, and then we all ride bikes and have fun?

I'd like to, but I have 3 more weeks in this ****hole, and I'm getting torn in half with people wanting my company. That would be rad though.

4-7. It's on Scotia. People are free to buy me a beer....

I was just being sardonic, I hoped you saw the humor in that.

Who the **** are you, I'm gonna fight you.

yeah guy

lets just meet at sully sq and get some dunkies and maybe some sausage sandwiches. and then check out some broads on newbury

my bike is fast

probably faster then anyone elses alive or dead. so dont even pretend you can beat me, cause im faster then you even while i sleep!

and tim is fast too, way faster then you, but not as fast as me while i am asleep. even my puppy is faster then you and your "track bike".

When I was your age, this thread was about Bostonians organizing rides and hanging out.

I was just being sardonic, I hoped you saw the humor in that.





Who the **** are you, I'm gonna fight you.

if i didn't see the humour in that i would probably be ********.. which may or may not be true? i did just have to lookup the definition of sardonic -- i am an awesome journalism major.

and, uh, lets not fight on the internet. ***** preeze.

rich I ****ing love you.

let's sling shiiiittt.

I think all bicycling related disputes should be solved via jousting.

Time for the big stick!

Alright, Kings this Sunday 4-7 (again). Free pool and appetizers, with a ride to follow.
Based on this past weekend's attendence I reserved for 20 people.

Did somebody call for a big stick?

Wow, I wish I'd have gone on this ride. Sounds like shizznit hit the fazznan. When Rich posts, we know it's serious! (By the way, Rich, did you get a prize for first puppy at the Zelda race?? You deserved something, at least!)

I'm down for King's.

I had an unbreakable commitment for this past Sunday, so I hope to make it to King's this time. Any particular name to drop on arrival?

Nope, just walk in and look for the crowd of scruffy-looking nerf herders playing pool.

I'm down for King's.

i'll be there

anyone planning on doing the Hub on Wheels Citywide (http://www.hubonwheels.org/default.asp?go=citywideride&m=2) ride? Seems like it would be fun to get a group together for this.

i was a marshall last year. it was kinda fun, except that you have 50 slow people following you around getting flats that you had to fix.

i'm down

I'll be there again.

kings? sunday the 13th?

that might be my last sunday in boston, we'll see.


I think I'd be down.

Pie race (http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1279387) anyone?

kings? sunday the 13th?

yup.

Hey guys, I posted this in the New Hampshire thread (yes, there's a New Hampshire thread) but really it fits here. I want to do some friggin bike camping! The idea: ride from Boston, camp the hell out, then ride back. I want to do some solo trips like this, but it'd also be fun for a small group. The problem: I have no friggin idea where to camp. It needs to be within 80 miles or so from Boston, as I'll ride the whole way, carrying food and a tent, etc. And it needs to not be sucky (aka, no RV parking lots). Do any of you have suggestions?

well, if you're looking for woods, i'd suggest looking at the seacost and south central regions here (http://www.ucampnh.com/)

could also camp on the beach somewhere north of hampton

I'm down for the camping trip, and I will most likely be at Kings again.

AdamKell will be in town for the weekend, but is leaving at 4 on sunday. I'd like to organize something while he's here. Anyone down for a Sat. Midnight ride and swim? Hit me up.

The Larz Anderson Bike Show (http://www.mot.org/Events/BikeShowRegForm.htm) is going on this Sunday. I've never gone, but it might be worth getting up before noon on a weekend for.

i would totally ****ing do this. i have like the 20th to the end of august free aside from time i need to spend packing my apartment and maybe going home to new jersey and visiting friends in new york..so i would like to go somewhere crazy. an 80 mile ride would put us, what, 40 miles into new hampshire? it would be badass. i don't know any campsites though. are there any campsites in central/western mass? wachusett area maybe? or on cape cod... nickerson state park has campsites i think.

the link i posted above lists all campsites by region. then again, 80 miles would get us into maine too. in any event, if this does come to pass, i'm buying some panniers and doing it fixed/ss.

Sounds good, keep me posted.

I'm game. Anyone else for a pre-Kings bike show?

I am going to head over to the bike show.

Typical Thursday routine if anyone cares to join: 10pm at the Christian Science Center Fountain.

Hey maybe I'll join y'all for real this time, and maybe this time I won't be ridiculously drunk like I was when I ran into you last week.
