Don't know if you know a comedian called "Joe Pasquali"? He has a song that can be Adapted that suits this thread.

"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"
"I know a thread that will get on your nerves- get on your nerves- get on your nerves"

It carries on with the above repeated for 3 hours- or until someone get the baseball bat out.

I say a somewhat younger gentleman (not sure he'd qualify for a 5+ forum

) out on a similar bike on Friday. His seat and handlebars were set considerably lower, but he was occasionally getting up to 8 or 9 mph. I do feel obligated to warn you, though - his cadence appeared to be in the 200+ range to get to that speed. I'll also add a +1 to Beverly's comment.

Looks like fun in a parade...I have one I made recently that is a little bigger wheels but same idea. It is a little unstable cause I sit almost directly above the back wheel. I think you should get this one even though it is not white.

Those bikes did not have shifters nor brakes to my knowledge so it must be a fixie.... nice catch on the detail, if it indeed IS a fixie.
This is the neverending thread so not stops and starts....................... . . . . . . . . . . . . .

That doesn't look like a very stable bike.

When I saw a 23 page post suddenly pop up I thought "Gosh! All this while I mowed my lawn! Must be really something!" then I thought "I'll bet this is one of them Zombie threads..."

I'll get to you back after I read this thing...

Well.

That was an occasionally interesting way to put to waste a perfectly good hour.

Did you plan on raising this thing on the anniversary of it's supposed demise or was that just kismet?

Now to read the "How slow are you" thread.
