oh..and i'm sooooo sorry that i "attacked" the poor, downtrodden hippies of berkeley. i'm sure they spend a lot of time reading the singlespeed forums here.

the thing about the so-called hippies in berkeley is that they're most times, anything but. old folks with ratty hair or ponytails and hemp necklaces gettin' all freaky deaky passing around joints in public places, yet, they tend to live way on up in the hills, building their houses with the sweat of others and surviving on the labor of others. most of them are wealthy business owners who, despite ascribing to these so-called "values" have "grown up" to be exactly the thing they hated when they were younger. authority figures, conventional society...y'know, "the man?"

hippies annoy me. patchouli is not an attractive scent on anyone.
