You're goin' down, punk!

Lol!

It's a pretty bike-friendly community because they have all those folks running a red-light on their bicycles and no car in mowing a bunch of them down. Heck, there's even little kids blowing through the red light.

You guys just don't have a proper appreciation of long chainstays. Hopefully you won't go cry about it. Lol!

Size queen!

TWSS. Wait... Nm.

My brain is mush.

I'm so sad now.

lots of large mens underwear being thrown on stage here.

No brown streaks, I hope.

Critical Mass, Ferguson style? That comes on Sunday when the priest scolds them for running red lights...

I think the manufacturers of wireless electric shifting derailleurs really missed the boat by not doing a generation or two of fibre-optic cable shifting first. Just think how crazy expensive it would have been, and how the writers at cycling publications would tie themselves up in knots trying to review the products without shouting out in exasperation "IT'S RIDICULOUSLY COMPLEX, UNRELIABLE AND JUST PLAIN STUPID, OK?!?

Yeah, they just have no vision. It's like the process to use fiber-optics for my home telephone. Note, I've left out a number of minor connections, mind you. In the phone company's office there's a master computer that's electrically wired to a high-speed electrical jumper-box that patches the wires through to the input side of an electrical-to-optical high-speed multiplexer which then connects an optical jumper on the output side to another patch-through optical jumper-box, which connects the high-speed multiplexer to a optical jumper that goes to a high-speed jumper-box and is then connected to a high-speed to low-speed optical-to-optical multiplexer (with internal optical-to-electrical-to-optical conversion) which connects a low-speed optical jumper to an optical jumper box that connects to a cable which sends the light out through a main cable to my neighborhood which then comes into a cabinet where a patch-through optical jumper box runs a fiber jumper to another optical-to-optical multiplexer, which then steps-down the optics to a lower-speed fiber-optic line which goes to yet another optical jumper-box then out of the cabinet through a fiber-optic cable to a small optical pedestal in front of my house which converts the optical signal, yet again, to an electrical signal that runs through a wire to the front of my house into a wall-mounted termination box that's then wired into an inside jack that breaks the signal into phone/cable/internet which goes through a cord to my PC, where my computer decides what to do with the data.

I let them know long ago, that since my home computer has a built-in optical reader, the CD drive, it could, of course, use that device to do all that other fancy stuff like on-demand bandwidth choice of whether to look at cable, talk on a land telephone, use a cordless phone, surf the net, etc, and they could eliminate every single other piece of equipment in the route between their office and my house, and just run a pair of optical wires the size of a fishing line into my house and I'd be able to let my PC (with a little help from some software designers) choose what service it wanted (cable, telephone, internet) out of the bandwidth which entered my house. Unforunately, job-security would be eliminated for all the folk whose job it is to keep the Rube Goldberg network humming.

It's only ridiculously complex and expensive, until someone comes up with a better mousetrap.

Got stuck in a Italian Traffic Jam

wtf?
