Totally guilty on several of her points! She's a very good writer and has great insight into the culture...sort of like a less snarky NYC Bikesnob.

When you can determine the model and year of a bike on CL from a fuzzy photo taken in a dark garage and the sentence "Says Carlton, has 12 speeds".

When you have to tell the original owner that their bike is in fact several or more years older than he/she thinks.

When I only go on vacation to cities that are bike-friendly. This year Copenhagen and Portland, OR. Next year, it's going to be Amsterdam and Utrecht and a road trip to Davis, CA.

I already live in SF so I don't need to visit it.
