Because I'm an angsty GenX dropout, naturally I don't care how people outfit their fixies or singlespeeds. Except those that have all titanium ones, or off the shelf ones, or Surlys, or ones without Brookes saddles, or ride without wearing a 1970's wool jersey. But hey, thats just me okay? How do you feel about The Stiff Little Fingers or The Descendants? Prefer Creed? F**k you buddy! Here's my top 10 -

1) Steel tubing manufacturers not providing me or anyone for that matter with tech drawings of their S-Bend chainstays. *******s!
2) People who drive their SUVs to the soccer matches. Or anywhere for that matter. Okay, so you have a small penis, take it out on someone else.
3) The Guv'ment. All of them. Especially George Bush, Tony Blair, and John Howard. Where is our humanity gone?
4) People
5) Red, blue or yellow powdercoat. If I ever meet Paul Turner again I'll punch him in the face. Then again, his mum is an Aussie so I might forgive him.
6) Extreeem Gromits. No, Kona is not cool, and no you can't turn my favourite singletrack into something resembling the surface of the moon.
7) Logging companies. Nestle. Nike. Coca-Cola. McDonalds. Rio Tinto. Go die you fascist bastards.
8) Terms such as 'Economic Rationalism', 'ROI' and, and......grrrrrrrr.
9) PCs.
10) Your bike.

I should probably add courier bags in there somewhere too. Not only because it will be fun watching people get all *****ty about it, but also because they suck bigtime. I mean, my left shoulder is already lower due to years of schoolbag abuse, why would I want to exacerbate the problem? But anyway, when I want to look Courier Chic, I don my Systeme U/Raleigh jersey and swing my Crumpler courier bag over my shoulder. Custom, of course.
