Never plead guilty. To anything. And never admit to anything, to anyone. Once you say something, it can be used against you. Better to say nothing and pretend nothing happened. Otherwise you get some garbage reasoning whereas it would've better just to have heard no, you suck Rob.

I kind of like my little bell. It's out of the way and goes from 'ting to RING RING RING. I don't use it nearly as much as I did when I used the park paths for commuting. It's about the only option with oblivious ipod joggers wobbling down the middle of the path. I won't say much about the porky pig knock off electric buzzer I got in the GG raffle. It's so unbelievably obnoxious I want to beat myself up when I fire it off.

I did hear from James - he's drinking beer in Germany, the niblick!

I wonder if i can report my own posts.

those cops will ticket you for anything - i got a ticket for "improper bicycle lighting" once in broad daylight. and the cop who pulled me over was driving a court services van...without a siren. so he just cut me off and forced me to pull over. who knows what manner of criminal he was transporting. sorry, i'm still bitter about having to pay that one.

You lose in court or did you just pay teh fine?

you got pulled over by the guy who got demoted driving the court services van?

thats horrible

Perhaps the police are pre-judging you based on appearances.

I frequently get pulled over for traffic infractions. But once the helmet comes off and the cop realizes that I am not some fixie riding, tattooed scumbag he gives a verbal warning and "Have a nice day"

So you're saying that with your helmet on you look like a scumbag

ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

To any small footed members. I have a pair of Sidi Techno Mtn bike shoes in a size 43. They need a bit of love from a shoemaker (rear upper is coming loose from the sole) This was a common prob with older Sidis. Some shoe goo and a couple of small screws fix it easily) They are in otherwise excellent shape. Gratis to the first person who wants em.

Jit5 gets pwned... but his retorts aren't up to his usual dofus standards.

He is on school break and is grounded by Moms. Just ignore him and he will go away.

I don't really need reflective tape on the forks do I? Lights I can see.... I'm not puttin' reflective pinstripes on...I won't.

Is the sizing equivalent between the road and mtb versions of the shoes? If so, i'll take em.

Doesn't even take the time to post a quality troll anymore. Kids these days.

*sigh* if only he applied himself, instead of just applying lotion to himself.

Okay, that's five jit related comments, we're done until September 1, no matter what he posts in the interim. (Six counting this one).

Noooo, cavit8 takes one for the team!

Mtb ride tonight at ~7:00.

Also another either tmrw night or Thursday night.

paid de fine. it went to collection first though...

when i was riding with the randonneurs they all had reflective tape on the forks and stays; apparently this is part of the HTA (ironically front and rear lights is not). i suppose they wanted to cover their bases and avoid hassles with cops. it's more likely though that they just wanted to be a lit up as possible riding on those country roads at night.

three posts in a row!

in other news i'm actually off work on a sunday this week. anyone doing any riding that doesn't require any real fitness?

Don? Who? Where?

Yeah, Don. Pottery Rd entrance. Dave & I, so far. Just sent Bradyn a txt, and anyone else who wants to come. :P

I'll try to make it out for Thursday if it's on - tonight is a no go.

It'll most likely be tomorrow night. Thursday is sort of a backup but I'm supposed to be going to my friend's fiance's bday drinks after work, so I don't know what kind of riding shape I'll be in. :P
