It's hard to tell, but does he have his pant leg rolled up on the left leg?

it's his left. if he had a left side drive or the right side rolled up as well, i'd say it's sensible. but....no.

Maybe he wears his shoes on the wrong feet to trick us all.

It's like those kids who got freakin' "STRAIGHT EDGE 4 LIFE" tattoos.
Three years laters they're stoners and this guy will be driving a Jetta.
that is my friend nick. photo shot by world fam peter sutherland in sf during the bicycle film festival. the campy chain ring tattoo is by ugly bill in san diego. cronic tattoo. nick already sold that gitane. what else do you need to know??!!
oh, and nick is super fast worker bee, not a bike collecting slug.

MLproject, I like the chenelle and crossbones in the background. I think I am noticing a recurring motif here. (vuitton, chenelle).

Why get it covered? If it was important to you then it should still hold relevance today no matter what your lifestyle is. At least that is how i feel about mine.

ha -- we are a bitter bunch.
it's not a "fixed gear for life" tattoo, so I don't think he'll need to get anything covered up.
i like the tattoo.
Yeah, tell me about it. I was just trying to make a joke...

I think it says something more along the lines of "151 BCD 4 LIFE"
the photo, tattoo and bike are all nice - what's the issue?
I know your funny.

I was looking at that chainwheel tattoo project... where could one find vintage chainrings with interesting patterns? I'm thinking some girl needs to put a schwinn sweetheart chainring on an all pink bike. I found some on ebay. Would they be compatible with a modern bicycle?
