The kid looking at him in the back has the expression, "Dude sweet green risers, breh. I ride brakeless too!"

i spy a stock rear wheel.

Not to mention what looks like a price tag hanging from the hbs. Compared to Chicago's Richard Daily this guy's a poseur. RD's put in miles of bike lanes, a 3 ft rule and actually commutes to work by bike. But, any pub's better than no pub, I suppose.

I doubt its a price tag. Probably some thing he was holding. No store would sell a purple kilo tt with front b43 and green risers.

That's not a price tag. Looks like it could either be a notebook a coloring book or an owners manual.

On closer inspection you guys are right. It's something he's holding in his hand...is he up for re-election? A brochure would make sense. Anyway, he's on a fixie even if it is a photo-op. Now back it up by proposing some bike lane construction.

I'm hoping it's a coloring book. :D

Well, he has started riding on his own. I do believe he was part of setting up Ciclavia over here

Commpared to the 16,149 mayors in the USA that drive Escalades...

This is the frrrrukin sheeet!


Eh, too bad he almost got hit by a taxi. Frrrukin taxi drivers! Of course all the news is littered with bicycle hate in the comments section. :shrug:


He looks like Adrian Monk. (Tony Shalhoub)

he needs to learn how to clip in if he's gonna ride brakeless.

It looks like he's going like maybe 3 mph. Don't think stopping is too much of a problem. Needs a front errorspok to look really hip.

He's still a d******e... as in bag.

Escalades are very nice vehicles. :notamused:

just get a tahoe.

Obviously gearing up for 2012. Palin for your VP pick.

That must have been right after he took off the training wheels

He's gonna be pretty embarrassed when he finds out that the demographic he's pandering to isn't actually old enough to vote.

Don't know if anyone has heard but he was recently riding his bike in LA and was hit by a car. Guess someone shouldn't be riding fixed. I'll try and find the LA Times article.

Wow the irony... :lol::rolleyes:

His office said a taxicab driver pulled in front of him, causing him to hit the brakes and fall off the bike.
maybe what the daily breeze meant was "causing the mayor to do a nutz to stem skidz" since he's riding brakeless

"ballz to stem" sounds betturdz :lol:

I really doubt the Kilo he is pictured with is his bike. Chances are it was just some kids bike and he wanted to give it a shot. He most likely crashed on his own bike.

which is a huffy

True. So true.

Socks

Yeah I think he rides a mountain bike or something.
