Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

What threads I should never start.

After witnessing the debacle that was/ is Pistaboy, I got to thinking. Never wanting this to happen to me, I figured I would come up with a comprehensive list of threads I won't start due to the potential that I will either be called a hipster, or a troll.

1. Which bike is better? (have in the past started this thread)
2. Which bag is better? (recently started one of these)
3. Anything involving "breaks" and to a lesser extent brakes.
4. Threads about the wearing or non-wearing of a helmet

I could have sworn the list would be longer...but I can't think of anything else.

nothing involving the word "feltching," was a disgusting day at work when that one was explained to me

i've had to film that before.

that and enema shooting--until an, uh... "unexpected projectile" followed the water out and the model who'd been exercising her anal canon for an hour or so began crying out of embarrassment.

Well, I can be happy to say that I live my life never expecting graphic anal sex, feltching, and enemas. I honestly think its better that way.

i think this thread is a perfect example of the type of threads NOT to start. they always turn into a hand job community... of course, that pretty much sums up all threads in this forum as of late.
