Rides and Races - philly pretzel riders

i know a lot of you ride fixed/single

those of you who dont like the new 'crowds' are pretentious dicks
the pretzel ride is not yours, its not a secret, deal with it
so what you've been doing it since the beginning, oh man i'm jealous

you just gotta learn to deal with the dicks.

oh man i'm jealous
sure sounds that way when you post it publicly. if it bothers you, start your own ride. or ride alone.

oh, and start a myspace group directly addressing this issue. Myspace always gets to the root of the world's problems

I understand that feeling...kind of. I've never met a ****** at pretzel ride yet. Yet. It's still fun, and if you don't think so, leave right after you get your pretzels, or don't ride at all.

weird when stuff you do is in the news huh?

When is the next one?

When is the next one?

seriously????

first three papragrpahps of the article....

Compared to what it’s been over the past few months, the Twisted Tuesday Pretzel Ride crowd is small. Just 30 bikers are waiting at the base of the Art Museum steps.

There are a few dirty mountain bikes, a handful of older models, a couple of shiny new-looking road bikes and a bunch of well-worn workhorses. One guy rolls in on a low-riding recumbent bicycle.

Everyone is milling about, chatting in little groups, blissfully unaware that the launch time—11:45 p.m.—has passed.

You should have let him figure that one out on his own. When things are that painfully obvious...

elitists will always be elitists.
if you're too cool to associate with other like-minded people then i truely feel sorry for you.

myself and a handful of friends and people i know are usually regulars at the pretzel ride. Its just a good fun time, something to do on a tuesday night. the coverage is a little weird though, i mean what made people from PW want to do a story on it?

I Like Peeing - i've never met a ****** at the pretzel ride either. Everyone just chills and has a good time with people they know who ever they want.

Personally if i started a ride and it grew into something like the pretzel ride i'd feel accomplished, not get all pissed off and act elitist cause people found out about my secret ride that me and my friends used to put ourselves above other bikers. It was founded on bikeforums.net! come on, how did you not expect people to find out about it from the hundreds of people that read ss/fg section everyday?

I skimmed the whole article 'cause I'm bored, and then got to the part about the pretzels being 25 cents each. For real? Man, I gotta move to Philly, Chicago is killing my budget.

if i were in charge of things, the homeless would eat endless amounts of soft pretzels.

Max: go get pretzels on another night. Be rebellious. And for extra punx points, dumpster them.

i dont care i always have a fun time on the pretzel ride. plus ryan and i are joking around (he's my new roommate)

woot. well, starting tomorrow.

except i won't be around until late january.

Can we call this new controversy Pretzelgate™?

who cares just dont ride your bike like an idiot and we'll all be happy

But what if you ARE an idiot. Then you are going to ride your bike like one, because you ride what you are.

Or something.

No Idiots Allowed.

well i didnt want to come out and say that ;) you know, i am very accepting of people

Its ok, I'm an idiot.

But last night when I was packing, I decided to wear my helmet today.
Maybe its a habit I can get in to?

Anyways, I don't know when I will be able to make it to the pretzel ride, but they sound like a lot of fun.

When Kevin AND Peter weigh in on a topic in the same day, you know it is some heavy sh*t. Just sayin'.

you guys really connect

I'll make the ride one of these weeks. No, really. I will. For realsies.

truth is, i really don't go to the rides anymore because none of you people ride expensive enough bikes to be seen with me.

ps...take a shower

seriously. None of us smelly kids have anything to say to this elitist bike snob. She thinks she is so much better than us because her bike actually works and doesn't have a milk crate tied to it with shoelaces. sorry we all can't afford zipties and brake cables daddy only gives us so much money a month and hummus is very expensive.

hahahaha, you and shogster make my tummy warm inside. see you both tomorrow.

since it was mentioned i just wanted to take the chance to let everyone know . . .




that i really really like hummus.

^^yeah, hummus is good. roasted red peppers hummus.

but the best hummus is the stuff you make yourself. its way cheaper and makes a **** ton of hummus.

hummus on pretzles??
i know this works for hard pretzles.
maybe for delicious hot soft pretzels as well.

For my first pretzel ride (as soon as I find a job) I will make a tub of hummus and we can try it.

I thought pretzel ride was a snooze last night, so much I didn't buy any pretzels.

...but at the same time, I didn't detect "elitist snobs" or whatever. So I continue to ride.

we rolled up after the ride got there. ;)

Max, it says "elitist snobs" not "bearded slobs". No go get that mustard out of your moustache.

funny 3 out of the 4 had beards... ryan are you stalking me?
oh btw i dont eat mustard

I just guessed you had beards because of the beard growing contest.
How is the ceiling rat?

Very true. I will admit that some of the conversations I heard on the ride were lame enough to prompt headphone use in the future.
