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)

I can feel for the guy, but seriously, pissing off 50+ bus riders isn't the smartest thing to do.

I saw about the first 8 seconds then turned it off....when will people learn that wmv files (along with real player) completely suck?

Is this the guy in Portland? (sorry, can't download the video right now) There's a big flap going on right now about that. They haven't found the guy that punched him, but there's a lot of support for that guy, for some reason.

i haven't watched yet, but if it's the dude in portland, i know someone who knows him who told me what happened. i don't pay much attention to local news (since i don't really watch tv), so i hadn't heard. weird stuff.

****s getting pretty ugly at times here. Since the lawsuit hit the news there's been a pretty big backlash against cyclists. I was riding the other night fully within my rights in the middle of a lane doing about 20+ mph on my road bike with blinkie lights front and rear when I hear an engine scream behind me then brakes lock up. It was some dickface in a porsche boxter who thought he'd give me a little scare before he rolled down his window to scream obscenities about me.

Joke's on him, I've heard bodywork isn't cheap on those ****ers thanks to the big ass dent i kicked in his door before I gave him the finger and rode off.

(I realilze i'm contributing to the problem, but there is nothing more terrifying than feeling like someone driving a 3200lb. missle is out to get you. )

yeah, i had a similar experience the other night, too. and that last part..."there is nothing more terrifying thatn feeling like someone driving a 3200lb. missle is out to get you"...it's true. you hear an engine revving behind you, getting closer and closer, faster and faster...i don't give a **** if they're going to stop, or think they're talented enough to scare you but not hit you, that's a dick move right there.
