Word.

As far as being a poseur, ask them where they were in 90. Most were prolly sleeping under mom and dad's roof. Everyone's got a story. Dispose of the BS-messer Glam Clan. Anyone that poses b/c they think they invented fixed street riding can suck it. I have no respect for people who can't nod or stop. I was cruising home a while back and my rear wheel slipped a bit. Stopped to adjust it, and saw some fixie messer pass me slowly, not stopping (my nature - stop no matter what. Always have, most always will). A few minutes later, I was underway and passing him. We stopped at a heavy red and chatted a few minutes. He works for the same company I once did. My only comment, "So, I see they still only hire a--holes." Had a good laugh on that one.
Make your place Schiek, don't really on someone else's.
I am done cheerleading for the day.
Go team...
