while i'd like to give these people the benefit of the doubt, its hard when it has been super sunny and humid and not exactly pleasant weather to ride a bike.
no point to this thread really just more of an observation within the past couple weeks. is anyone else experiencing this same problem?
at the end of the day, i know my bike was actually ridden.
To get to the track, it's a 80 mile ride, not to mention that I like to go out to lunch and hang out with my friends in that city (And I don't lock up the track bike, only the beater)... If my driving there bothers you, I think you need to get a new hobby.
Street cred isn't for having your bike on the back of your car, real hipsters wouldn't drive one, street cred is walking across your campus with one, with a pant leg rolled up. =P.
