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)

This just has to be satire.

If it is, kudos - he did a great job trolling everyone

you're right... next time this happens everyone please respond in support of drivers to run us all over. the whole "bring it on tough guy" mentality is what we need.

duh, if it were satire or sarcasm it failed and only left the bad message, so who cares if he meant it or not it is still a mega fail. I never knew student newspapers at the undergrad level could be so pathetic bad at their pretend journalism until that article brought me to the "state news" or whtever that garbage is called. read some of the other parts, the whole publication is a mega fail.

holy shamoly, this cockgobbling clammouthfarter Zack Colman has his own lame site where he describes a discussion about peaceful relations between Muslims & Jews as "rhetoric" and it's pretty clear he means "empty words" witha bunch of other lame posts where he ambigously demonstrates that he's an ignorant redneck.

funny part is he thinks it's all good because he put up a disclaimer that he isn't bing political, no politics. So don't forget, the veiled racism and not veiled at all ignorance is all Zack and not opinion if you read it, i did, it's disgusting, weirdly pathetic like watching a quadra ampute hentai comic character try to operate an old Defender stand up arcade game

all he needs is a drug habit and he might be the next rush limbaugh, except rush is smarter than this stupid turd.

this guy makes me reconsider children, if he were mine i'd be too ashamed to go outside and too afraid i'd smother him with a pillow.

epic person fail, coming from someone who knows they too arent so good. Zack Colman, bigot, hater, I'd say he's anti-semetic but he holds muslims in pretty harsh contempt too, and for reasons unknown possibly the worst writer to ever pursue a career writing.

or he's incredibly stupid for his age, but i'm younger and know better than him about people and ****. he doesnt even know the difference between faith and respect, doesnt understand how you can have faith in your own beliefs while respecting others.

the only thing wrong with this picture is that he wants to write, probably just wants fame maybe, but he could work with his hands, maybe not a mechanic but the guy that mops up, or holds the bucket for the guy that mops up when the bucket holder is broken, but don' ask for much, maybe it's best to just put him on welfare mandatory like, prevent him from taking a job from someone with a chance at...anything


he'd be an average american moron if he weren't trying to be a writer, why does that seem so damn strange to me?

If he could write a letter and make it sound promising then I'd understand. But he sucks at writing, and he has his facts so far up his ass. This is hysterical.

I hope someone posts some links to some of the photos here. I know there were a lot of people taking them.

Don't feel ashamed. It's not your or the university's fault that this guy(and his girlfriend, too, but what could one expect?)is completely off base. He's relishing the notoriety, I'm sure and has come to be a bit of a clelebrity though through a dubious means. The problem I had w/t article is the threatening tone and underlying anger which may or may not manifest itself in a worstcase scenario.

He rs'ed my e-mail and was quite polite and well spoken, but grossly underinformed. It's part of the growing process I guess to make ridiculous, grandiose statements w/little of or no factual data with which to back them up. His defences of positions and perspectives were all pretty weak. He's KNOWS he's wrong, but too egomaniacal or immature to admit it. He needs to be dismissed, but followed closely in the future lest he get into politics where he can do some REAL damage.

thank you all for these great posts, and although i don't have ub3r l33t sk1llz, i would love to destroy his website with cycling propaganda. his password is probably either password or minorhardon.

one day, may we live in a place where survival of the fittest has its way with all Zack Colmans of the world.
and i couldn't make it the CM, but i really wished Zack would have shown up to be learned good by the public.
