It's not you that the asterisks are for, its for the kids man, the KIDS!

Like this photo.. if you aren't familiar with the sexaul images, all you would see is the dolphins.

BWAHAHA! I'm still looking and I can't find the dolphins!

Seriously though... (actually I am serious about the dolphins), like the kids don't know all the same cuss words. I sure know I did! My dad was a great teacher.

go with the SanJose , the paddy wagon is not very fender friendly and has tighter clearances in the fork too. The paddy wagon is a nice bike, the sanjose is too, but for commuting sanjose.

Nobody worries about offending the mexicans?

not to re-hash, but I noticed some people saying that the Paddy Wagon doesn't have rack braze-ons, but if I'm not mistaken, can't you just use P-Clamps on the seat stays, and then use the existing fender braze-on for a rack?

I'm looking at getting a Paddy Wagon for commuting. Not huge distances at this point, but it'll be a 4-season bike, fenders and perhaps wider tires. I was thinking about cyclocross tires about 32 or 35 width for winter.

What say you Paddy Wagon owners?

I recently rode a San Jose. It was an ok bike, but I would not say it "screams quality". I've never ridden a Paddy Wagon (well, at least not the bike) so it may just be the comparison between the two.

BTW - I have nothing against Bianchi or the San Jose, if it fits, ride it!

I wouldn't call anybody that unless it is their name.
It has become offensive because it was meant as an offense when Irish were the new immigrants. Nowadays, you don't see police wagons full of "paddies" at your local precinct house.
To settle this once and for all...go to your local Irish pub...walk in and loudly say..."Evening Paddies!"
Then get to casualty as best you can.
*Born in Cork, raised in Boston...I don't view whiskey as mother's milk and there's nothing wrong with my sense of humor, Paddy is not OK and the tolerant folks who say, "No big deal" are the very same who'd protest n*gga or any of the other unacceptable terms. Don't call us Paddies., period.

zombie thread

Better to be called a paddy than a priggish, scolding, zombie-thread unearthing off-topic noob.

Noob.

It's been 2 1/2 years and I still don't see any dolphins... They're not really there, are they?

As a matter of fact it is named after the guy who designed it, Paddy White. I wonder if he knew that the name would stir up controversy when he chose it?

Damn White guys.
