I stopped when he said recumbent. Nothing against them or him, but I'm not at all interested. But it did look like a lot of information.

As promised here she is. This is how we roll;

What do you think?

It's a bike. Congratulations.

i'm sill waiting for the cliff notes of your posts and now what looks like an annoying video. Both hurt my brain.

Sounds like a personel problem to me. Can't help you there.

What did you think it was?

You've got some anthropomorphism going on with her, I mean your bike, and you are monogamous. No Backup Bike.
That's the first pretty long post that I've made it all the way through for quite a while. Interesting.

Rolling vibrator.

I'm still confused.
Why are the chipmunks singing?

The song is called How We Roll. From the soundtrack to their new movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks.

This would of been a more appropriate song for that video.

Bikes is bikes

brilliantly funny stuff! I didn't watch the whole thing, so no idea if it really rolls or not.

And there is even an annual bike ride for folks like you.:p

Uh.....was that really a 4 minute video with different shots of one bike in the same position, not moving? Give me my 4 minutes back.

WTF is the deal with this?

I don't think so. After they did what they did to the music industry I literally burned all of my copies of the band/group that shall not be named albums, including the very first one they came out with. It was a vinyl LP. That video should be banished from youtube.

I also thought about using either of these 2;

Thank you. I'm glad someone finally gets it. Some people are so uptight if they swalloed a piece of coal they would crap a diamond.

You obviously missed the point. Crap the diamond yet?

I have dialup. It takes a heck of a lot to make me watch a video as it will be more like 20 minutes rather than 4. So what was the point?

I didn't wait around to watch it. Wouldn't a few jpgs have done the job?

Can you go to youtube.com and watch videos there with no problems? If you can it is uploaded there. I just used the embed code to put in my blog post. Let me know and I'll give you the direct link to it on youtube.com.

Would have been 10x better.
For one, the image quality would have been worlds better so you could actually make things out and not wonder what the heck you were looking at.
And two, you wouldn't have to bother turning your computer's sound off.

What are you a freaking movie critic now. You too have missed the point. How's your piece of coal coming along since you swallowed it? Is it a diamond yet? Uptight so and so! LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS!!!

Jeebus dude. You may want to look into a mirror.
Anyhow.... can I have a diamond as well? With my finances I could use one.

I just love how people are being movie critics about a movie posted on youtube.com Now that's funny! :roflmao2:

I'm not sure you understand. The problem is that at dialup speeds, any video takes way too long to download. It simply has to be very compelling material to make it worth even trying to download. YouTube is much better than say Yahoo videos because after it has finished loading, you can rewind and play it, whereas Yahoo's news videos just go onto another video after it finishes loading, so you have to monitor it very carefully.

And while I admit it would be nice to get broadband access, while I am unemployed, it is much lower on my budget priorities.

If you want to share your bike with us, please make it easy to enjoy it. Here's how I roll. Enjoy.

I was just going to let this die, but since it's right back at the top anyway... THANKS for the RAGBRAI info. We wouldn't consider going bandit, just because we don't know IA at all (although I went to college in Rock Island IL), terrain sounds similar to Austin, hilly and windy! and with sign up you get "free" transportation of camping gear to each stop? Although I guess we'd have to go with a service anyway to get back to our starting point. I think our biggest concern will be tons of beginners and kids on the route, can we bypass some of that by starting earlier than most?

Thanks again and sorry to hijack the original post.
