for the record, the ditched person was from Virginia. No need to get defensive.

Kevin, in order for the pretzel ride to die I think we need to start something new first. we'll all start ditching pretzels to do new super-cool ride, leading to a slow and painful death of the ride you so despise. ideas[interrobang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang)]

hahahaha, its funny that everyone is defensive about not being the "ditched person" from this past tuesday. At risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, I hope the pretzel ride finally dies and we can start up something new. DIE PRETZEL RIDE... DIEEEEE!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

i don't think it's just going to die by itself seeing as after three years there are still 40+ bike weeks. why don't you start a new ride and if it's better than the pretzel ride maybe it will kill it. then when everybody switches to your ride and it gets too cumbersome and uncool, you can stop going to it and complain about it on bf (or on phillyfixed.com (http://phillyfixed.com): philly's one stop resource for all things fixed gear and where we make fun of ashley's space boot </plug>)

did you really just sneak a plug into a post about the pretzel ride. You are smooth my friend, smooth like the refreshing taste of Coca Cola, delicious poured over some cold ice on a hot summer day, crisp and refreshing and it will surely never give you diabetes, make you overweight and rot your teeth.

For the record, I didnt stop attending the pretzel ride because it became "uncool", I stopped because I didnt like the people who started attending. It became more like Critical Mass (which I also hate), just a reason for people to take up the road and act like jerks. Then again, I am a jerk, and I dont like anyone ever... except you guys ((((huggles))))... so, this is all my issue and I am dealing with it in therapy.

I am going to start a ride where everyone bikes to the schuykill and then rides right into the river. Or maybe a "Bike like a Ninja" ride (All black clothing, no reflectors or lights) and bike onto a busy highway. BAHAHAHAHA.

ok, now back to Phillyfixed already in progress...

ack i know. FOILED AGAIN!
i was typing out my carefully crafted response/plug and then when i clicked submit you had beaten me to it. oh well great minds think alike right?

and @ Dr O, i wasn't really coming down on you for leaving the p-ride, i just thought we were supposed to be mean to each other on this board. i'll see you over on phillyfixed.com (http://phillyfixed.com): philly's one stop resource for all things fixed gear and where we're all nice to each other all the time except for laura who keeps calling me a copycat and hates guys from virginia that try to come to the pretzel ride.

hahahaha, I was not insulted. Lets hug, its difficult to tell tone over the internets. Lets just all relax and enjoy the comics at www.fortsleepover.com after visiting www.phillyfixed.com

We can all meet up later and shop at the GAP and buy new capri pants which are on sale this week for $47.99... which really, just cant be beat! Capri pants are the MUST HAVE fashion statement for the season.
