I Guess I'm Trendy Cattle ~ Moo!
 

Here's a post on Chicago's Craigslist. It's kinda funny.

But I admit I'm trendy cattle. I have a few track bikes and yet I don't ride on the Velo or work as a messenger.

If there's any other trendy cattle out there I'd like to know. I need some friends.

Ya, I saw that too. Moo!

I have always embraced my posing status with both arms. I am with you and fully support the plight of all of us trendy cattle out there.

Yup

I was called a Faux-messenger by my brother-in-law last night. So I hit him with my U-lock.

Not really. I just like to ride bikes. Fixed gear bikes. I don't even have a U-lock.

You know what I would say to the ass that wrote that...Who gives a ****. Sounds like some elitist BS which is funny when it's over a friggin' bike. It reminds me of roadies that ride around town w/ there $5,000 bike w/ nose turned up and petunia's in there ass while laughing at my entry level road bike. Apparently in Chicago if you ride any type of bike you will be judged as a poser.

If I learned one thing in my years it's to not to take anything too seriously.

I take money, my bills, family...the important stuff seriously.

But bikes!? Messengers?! Bull**** pissy scene stuff!?

Jeez, it's summer. Let's have some fun!

We are all trendy cattle while riding fixed is popular. Regardless if we rode fixed before the newfound popularity and will ride fixed after the bubble bursts. But for now I will moo with the best of them......MMOOOOOOO. Where the hell is my cud?

You mean you U-lock rocked him?

Mooo ...



Poser and proud of it.

Yea, but he U-lock blocked me.

Trendy Cattle mean spare track parts on craigslist down the line...

Moooo! Halifax, NS, has a herd of maybe five. I did, however, encourage my friend Brendan to build up a fixed gear last week. I lent him a wheel. He rode his new bike for 7 minutes and broke his arm. Sweet.

m.

I still haven't even seen another fixed wheel here, though I have heard rumors. Beef, it's what's for dinner! But yeah, I AM also a poser.

Ya, I don't really sweat the small stuff. Actually, I'm not sweating anything. Central AC at home is sooo sweet!

Central AC?!

You're a poser if you don't invite me over!

does anyone else take it to the next level by riding around with a huge walkie talkie radio strapped to their mess bag? and i'm ALWAYS making the beer runs for my friends, even if i'm not drinking!

I did a google image search for Trendy Cattle and this is what I got.

When the urge to pose is overwhelming I get out the rusty mountain bike, put a plastic oscos bag on the cloud 9 seat, balance my strapless styrofoam helmet on my unkempt hair, blaze, strap on a rucksack paperboy style and hit the road like the apparent majority of non summer job messengers do around here.

Obey your thirst!

nice to know this type of nonsense isn't confined to SF craigslist!

Dude, you're the one who posted the thread...

No I'm not. I don't bite the hand that feeds me.

I sell alot of track/fixed stuff on CL. Why would I piss on that?!

Speaking of which, I got some great Suntour wheels coming in today. Anyone.... Do I hear one dollar....

there are lots of cows in WI...moo.

rode fixed before, ride fixed now, will ride fixed later (unless my knees implode).

i don't know if i'm a poser. perhaps that means that i am.

the horror.

Many years ago we had an older guy who insisted on riding his fixed gear bike with no brakes on club rides. The old fart was a danger to everyone around him.

I wanted to see what kind of stuff we had on SF craigslist and came across this one (made me LOL):

That you Terror?

The brakeless thing isn't helping. We still have too many hipsters.
