Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

This post is amazingly gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah, be careful with that. 6'2", 170 pounds. They'll start calling you the Michelin Man.

I come to this forum for one reason, to remember what I don't want to become; helpless, (?em-pap-tint?) and weak. I'm going for a ride. Don't contact me. I'll contact you. Thank you, as you were.

P.S. and for petes sake stop spinning.
Ryanf...great self discipline: you didn't post all week. As a cycloholic and BF junkie you are clearly choosing "harm reduction" over abstinence as the model for your solution. Now make sure you keep your postings to a minimum and don't let them escalate again.

Because loginname was RyanF. Apparently he just got banned *instantly* and his posts deleted... Your quoting him is the only evidence of it.

Comrades:

I bump this thread that it might be deleted, locked and/or otherwise terminated.

This type of dissention has no place in our grand and glorious Plan. The People ask that a member of The Most Imperial Staff of Moderation lead us in the correct direction, grasp the key link and continue to show us the shining path to a new, classless society.

"It is up to us to organize the people. As for the reactionaries (at BF), it is up to us to organize the people to overthrow them. Everything reactionary is the same; if you don't hit it, it won't fall. This is also like sweeping the floor; as a rule, where the broom does not reach, the dust will not vanish of itself."

The People have spoken. Well, one of the People.

Cheers.

Looks like he is. I Wonder how long this time? I don't think it's permanent. His profile is still there.

He was supposed to be back Nov. 15th but then he was accused of other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Let's please not have a continuation of the last thread here. Yes, Ryanf has been banned indefinitely. No, I'm not saying anything more about it. No, I don't plan to lock this thread and give those who expect it the satisfaction. Please don't try to convince me to do otherwise.

He IS banned, we now have the few remaining threads of his being bumped in attempts to cause a disruption.

I believe the Klingons and the Romulans had disrupters but they were banned by the Federation.

In every cry of every man,
In every roadies cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban.
