I'm a new Chicagoite. I just bought my first "real" bike. Translation: Not from Walmart :(
It's a 07 Fisher Wingra.
I have a horrible temper and tend to curse at cars that don't let me in to traffic. :mad:

Then you'll do fine here as long as your riding skills back up your talk. :)

Welcome! I do that, too, at certain times of the month. :o

Hello chengt, I don't think I would advise using that temper in Chicago too much :eek: !

I've been riding since I was very young and worked at a bike shop that my family owned for a few yrs starting when I was 7 putting bikes together.
I don't know anything about the new brands and quality of them but I can put together a bike no time at all :)
That's part of the reason that I joined here so that I can learn more about the names of good bikes and bike parts so that I don't waste time with my old trial and error method of finding bikes that I like.

And bang on taxi hoods -- they wish they were us, you know ... that's why they hate on us so bad.
