Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - I puked on a Lexus!!

So, I raced in the Broken Hearts and Bicycle Parts race last night and lost my partner(partner's race) after a bad intersection and a wrong turn. So I decided to finish solo since I couldn't reach him on his cell. So I was about a 1/2 mile from the finish and you have to climb a hill that isn't too steep, its just fairly long. The traffic in the direction I was heading there were like three lanes. I was in the far left lane (holding my lane) when this Lexus comes up behind me and starts honking. I then began to signal that I was about to turn left and the Lexus gets impatient and tries to pass me. So I almost freaked out because they nearly hit me. So as I turn my head to watch out for the car, I threw up all over the hood and windshield. It was great. I actually was laughing and puking at the same time!! I booked the hell out of there and onto a side street. But it was really worth it. I don't know why I puked. I think I may of just pushed myself too hard and had too many beers before the race. It was great though.

You are my new hero.

Thank you.

it's funny, sometimes these anti car stories just come off as dick moves but this one is just hilarious. good job!

It wasn't even really anti-car. I swear, I didn't mean to even puke. Its just complete karma. He was an impatient @$$ and I felt like puking. The timing just happened to be right.

^that's why it's so good.

Sweet job on drinking and riding. That's awesome.

I was actually pretty sober for the race. I just had quite a bit during the whole day and not enough to eat. So I think the beer only diet before a race wasn't good.

This was the most refreshing, feel-so-good puking story in my entire life.

Now that driver will be resentful and hold it against all cyclists till the end of his/her days.

Won't someone think of the car drivers' feelings!?

A couple of years from now we'll have a thread about "where have all the oldtimers gone" or some other ****e like that, and someone will say "remember when James puked on a Lexus?" and we'll be all oldtimers and will remember.

i puked on my first alleycat. too many beers before hand, and i was pulling a looooooooong (but not too steep) hill up to my second to last check-point. i got almost to the top, and i must have been pushing too hard and a bit worn out, and POP goes the puke. i felt much better afterwards, and kept on going.

so rad!

the last time i was in a situation like this, i ended up yelling at some ******* in a bmw, then falling over and puking all over myself and my bike. congratulations for actually hitting your target!

was it green puke?
did your head spin around?
did you start babbling aramaeic incantations?
what did the car do?


just think about how many times you puked and it was the WRONG time!


best thread ever

A+

defense mechanism

The mental picture of laughing while puking makes me laugh.

And puke.

I vomited on a passing MAX onetime when I lived in portland. Belly full of dumpstered chinese food plus long pull off a bottle of cheap bourbon . I spun around to hurl in the gutter just as the MAX came by. Pretty sure I got like four windows. It almost took my head off though....

Damn, the year i leave they have the best race ever. 160 people, puking on cars, people getting pants for prizes...

: )

Awesome story. You just made my day.

Yea it was pretty awesome, you could have done the double header I pulled. Time trial in the morning, alley cat that night.

Pucking on a Lexus is the icing on the cake! (By icing I mean puke and by cake I mean Lexus)

Unfortunately the lexus driver is going to forget about all the honking and will tell the story
that some cyclist just rode up and puked on the car.

James, you are my personal hero man.

that wins.

You DA MAN. They don't come any better. Only in my wildest dreams could I do that, THANK YOU.

Did you finally get around to doing the Tundra Time Trial? On the Rossin?!?

YOu deserve a prize. Bravo.

If they don't want to have respect for cyclists, **** them. We don't need to respect those drivers who don't understand basic traffic laws, etiquette, and respect for pedestrians/alternative transportation. Who cares if this person holds a grudge against all cyclists? Its not like they respected them in the first place.

No, on the Look (with some borrowed Zipp 606:D). USAC requires 2 hand brakes now:(

Agreed, that lexus driving ******tard will probably keep his horn shut and give cyclists a w-i-d-e berth for a while.

Honestly, I am just glad that I am not the only one to have pulled the drinking all day random vomit routine.

When I was living in Boston a roommate had me come out with him and meet some of his friends for a bike ride. We had been drinking all day, and I was out of shape. We got to the reflecting pool at the Christian Sciences church shook hands "hey nice to meet you all" boom... next thing I know I'm vomiting all over the side of the church.

"who brought the new dude?"

Sigh. First impressions.

As far as the whole "Well now the Lexus driver will just have ammo to use in his cyclist hating routine" goes, if the driver is that self centered to begin with I am sure nothing in any facit of life will sway their opinion. They are probably the type of person who thinks all waiters are jerks because one time they treated their waiter like crap and this one time the waiter actually responded to it. Don't worry about self centered people. Get your revenge, your karma, and ride off feeling better about the whole situation and don't worry about trying to extend a peace branch to people like that. They don't change.

We haven't had a good vomit thread in a while. Awesome job!!!

I now have a new goal in life!

Damn, I just wiped my tears away. Awesome!

I had it once when i played a drinking game which involved playing some sort of soccer with a rugby ball. When a team scores they have to drink. After twelve beers and half an hour I almost vomitted my intestines 10 feet far. A tree was covered 5 feet high with the remains of my lunch.

It seems like everytime I go to ATL for a bike event, something so great happens but I never have a video camera rolling. Back in December, during a sprint event, we had a DJ and some bum was out dancing in the streets in the middle of the sprint path when my buddy from my hometown is sprinting up the hill and totally didnt see the bum and hits the guy from behind at full sprint. My buddy then does a superman in the air. I would give $100 for a video of that.

this story really made me smile... a great way to start off the week.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW
so cool, youre my new hero

I should have realized this was going to be epic because when i first met james it went.
"where is your partner dude"
james: "you see the guy passed out on the ground"
"he doesnt look so well"
james"yeah we've" been drinking all morning"

sticky this

Haha. Oh man. That is so awesome.

Sticky this. And keep us updated on other cars/as*holes you puke on.

This is my favorite thread in a long time.

And puke.

leave that newagey crap at the door

I guess my joke flew right above your head. My comment was a caricatured reference to this. (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=386607)


EDIT: I guess the following was directed at my comment, as well:

I hope it's clear I was joking. I was making fun of those who say that now the driver will hate us cyclists and the whole world is worse off.

I got that one, wroom. ;) See guys, he was satirizing. Get hip to it.

oh dang, satirizing, i see.

I know and I wasn't addressing you. Just a general rant against the entire advocacy (and sometimes commuting) forum... :D

leave that newagey crap at the doorYes sir. I'll leave it in a bucket, which you may collect at your leisure.

i bet the driver was really confused when that happened.

"get out of the way *******. what the? did he jus-- ****!!."

i wish i knew about this before we did awards. check your mail in a few days.
