just wondering if anybody else experienced this??
I'm from your neck of the woods... People tend to be shocked about my lack of brakes and gears and straight bars on a "road bike"... But **** it, it's flat here anyway...
Lately I've just been stroking the glorified role and telling people this is the only way to ride... This is more ballsy than the tour de france and I do it EVERYDAY in traffic and the whole nine!!
it's whatever... nobody understands us... parentz incl.
are you going to critical mass this month? I'm gonna be in SF so i won't be there... do you do bike miami or anything? I have no friends on bikes... I'm trying to peep miamibikescene blog for happenings in south fl.
