Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - riding bikes rule

yeah, tell me how you feel

putting my new bike together today.

and the weather is being wonderful to me right now.

i love fixed-gears

hopefully my new cranks come in the mail today so I can finish my new build...I can't wait

Remember when we were kids, and a friend would come over and be like, "Wanna go ride bikes?" yeah, that was sweet.

last night i got my bike in UPS and i put it together real fast but didnt really have any time other than getting to sit on it before dinner then going out. i came home baked and had such a good 3 am ride trying to learn how to skid!
BIKES!

I had a friend in Vegas drunk dial me at 6AM this morning. (4AM his time) After laughing at his voicemail message, I decided to go for a nice trail ride.

Bikes are indeed, very good.

silver lining story--so i was supposed to go to nyc as usual today so last night i go get gas for the car (yeah i hate cars too but i have to get to nyc to see my babe and homeslice don't do no fung wah action--i want to live to ride some more!). anyway, on the way back to my house i get pulled over for non-registration. tow truck comes and tows me away and i have to pay 150 bucks to get it back and have to go to the dmv or whatever it's called and get straight. plus i paid 150 bucks for a tuxedo to go to this shindig with my chick tonight. a big ol' dance with open bar at columbia u. last year they had skyy vodka, maker's mark, and brooklyn beers and sierra nevada brew, etc. all topshelf booze. so i miss all that and am out a buncha dough. . . :eek:

but ya know what? i got to ride my bike into work (which i usually don't do on saturday as i go to nyc every saturday). so i get in an extra 24 mile r/t to work. and i get to ride all day tomorrow if'n i want as the weather is good here in boston. nice and sunny. :beer: :beer:

so it all works out. except for the money and hangin' with my hot chick.

Riding a bike outside rules. I'm sick and tired of this trainer crap, good weather.. please come soon

hey bruno, remember that thread when you said you drove your Hummer to Starbucks and I believed you? Oh, man.

and bikes are awesome. but when its 69 outside with a cloudless sky, having to stare at your bikes because you're inside working... well, that's not awesome.

The guy uses a car to go to work on a Saturday and you are comparing this behavior to bombing a country...Does not compute, help me out amigo?

yeah, tell me how you feel

riding juvi-kyle rules.

Other than commuting, sometimes when it's really gross outside (snowstorms), I love to bundle up and go on a survival ride. When it's so crappy outside the cars are afraid to come and play I get the whole of the city streets to myself. Great fun and an incredible workout!!!!

i remember that thread. i believed it, too. i thought it was a joke at first, but you took it far enough i thought you were serious. good dedication.

oil.

riding bikes= good
head butting windshields of toyota tercels= not good

Walking away from headbutting a tercel to post about it = super good
Damn I love riding...I was recently banned from skateboarding ever again ...dislocated kneecap, that bummed me severely, but to not be allowed to ride again? Kill me now

today's beautiful...i have to do some **** and try to be back in an hour to meet a prospective new roomie, but all i want to do is go out and ride. check out a couple new bars, have a slice of pizza, go to the bike shop.

damn, i've fixed my bike and used the search function to find everything i need to know. i'll ****ing talk to all you dudes later...i'm out. i have to ride.

that still happen to me every weekend
But ALL your friends would be like "okay!"
I feel honored to have a friend want for me to teach her how to ride a bike; half of my friends don't ride a bike (and they don't have cars either! it doesnt make sense)

34 and sunny = bike ridding. God it was beautiful.

also, I was wearing a cape. everyone should wear capes while riding bikes.

I love bikes.

I hate all notions of god.

Thank god for bikes.

Today is the only dry day we are forecast to have for the next several days. I really didn't feel that great, but forced myself to go out and ride my fixie. Within 1/2 block I was glad I did, and felt great! Got in a pretty good aimless ride today, rain coming tonight ... I have to commute in the rain, but seldom ride in it for pleasure.

Today was great though!

BTW, the thing I like the least about riding in the rain lately is that I feel like I should use my all-weather cross bike for it (with fenders & mudflaps & stuff). So the fixie tends to stay home on those days. I *much* prefer riding the fixie, but don't want to crap it up with fenders, so I save it for nicer weather.

gotta be more specific.

head butting windshields of Jetta drivers with the Jetta driver's head=good

Riding bikes rules cuse the commute to school is the equivalent to a double espresso and is a hell lot better for you.

you need to speedball that ride WITH a double espresso... now yer talkin'

Just a clarification....

He is not twice his age.....

He is almost three and a half times his age when they married!!

In 1994, she was 26, he was 89. Holy ****. She is DEFINITELY a gold digger and she probably didn't love him AT ALL, and personally I don't think she should get any money at all. She was probably counting the days 'til he died, and I'm not surprised she didn't push him down the stairs or something (maybe she wasn't that stupid).

1994 picture. Don't tell me she married him for anything besides money..

Another pic.

She should be shot.

So, do you think he married her for any reason other than that body and those tits?

Not to go on a tangent, and I understand his point about Iraq and oil and all this but I just thought it was a bit extreme. Assuming that this guy even commutes by bicycle to work once a week, that could be considered an act of defiance against the powers that be. I guess I just found it a little ridiculous to consider one of our bicycle brethren a cause of us being at a sad war.

i've been in europe for four years now and coming back to the states
opens my eyes (even more) to the mentality of most americans
concerning the issue of transportation. i lived in texas before so i can
totally understand the problem of not driving a car. you really can't
get anywhere without alot of planning because everything is so far
apart. but if there was a good public transportation system that could
be combined with bicycles (like in europe) i don't think people would
use it because most people see bicycle/bus/train usage to be something
bad or at least lower class some how. its like if you use those methods
you're just poor or something, wtf.

word to the wise, nothing beats being able to hop on a train with your bike,
goto another city and be totally mobile within your new location. yay for bikes!

I do that every single commute day, rain or shine.

I just rode my bike today, and I can't wait to ride it again tomorrow!

no, i agree for the most part, i just thought you were seriously asking....whoops. anyhow, i agree mostly...a person who rides a bike at all and any time they can avoid a car is all right in my book...y'know...
