I salvaged my Polk monitors out of the garbage. Couple of fuses replaced and they are still going strong 10 years later.

^^^Polks....seriously? a trash find? Dang^^^

I don't know what these jokers are thinking. Ok cyclist almost gets it...giant rush of adrenaline to a fit person with legs of muscle. I think I'll exit my safety cage, still mentally pretending i'm 1500lbs and can kill with a tap. Oh damn wait this guy is trippin'...yo yo ... oh S*&t... damn this biker is steamed....U-Lock ...oh no not my car....!

I had that happen. After the clown kept speeding up on my rear wheel and honking like crazy I stopped to ask the guy WTF his problem was. As I turned the cop was already at his window...I started to tell the cop what a jackhole the guy was and the cop told me that he saw the whole thing for the last several blocks, he would take care of it and to be on my way and have a nice day. I was smiling the entire day after that one.
I am waiting for the time the motorist opens his door to get out and gets his car door door-prized by another passing car. I have dreamed of this. Is that wrong?

That put a smile on my face, just knowing it REALLY DID happen.

The worst part is knowing that this happened on my daily commute and wondering if I'm going to run into this jackass again. *sigh*

wtf is wrong with people? Also: I'm starting to ride with my mini-u in my back pocket instead of in my bag.

Is that the new Boomerang U-Lock made by OI! Catch-THIS-CagerTM.
I know what you mean Wes.... I leave mine at the office locked to the rack...

a... it's big and heavy
b.. I'm afraid I might use it.

I kinda like the visual OHNOYOUDON'T deterrent of the giant furgitaboutit chain.
Now to figure out a way of fixing it to my bag.

Anyone have any experience with this Bike Pirate org that posted on CL? What's the dilly, yo?

Oh yeah.. definitely a visual deterrent more than anything for the U-lock as well. As a skinny nerd I have no Fight Club style delusions. :P

also: note to self, 23c tires fit fine under the fenders on my urbanite.. 25, not so much. (stole the bontrager wheel off my lemond rather than fixing the urbanite's front).
note #2: 20h radially laced wheels look much cooler than 32h commuter lardasses. :P

I've yet to drop in there, but I've met the folks a few times and they're good people.

So Bike Pirates don't raid delivery trucks in the core? *snaps fingers*, another mental image shot to hell.

Kind of like a Bikechain but for the public at large. Good folks.

The Ricky Gervais Show podcast has cheered me up.. I'm totally killing myself laughing here.

Hey Duppy....I have something for you at the shop. Can you guess what it is?
I will give you a hint. its white....deep...and v shaped.

no!!! Keith....is it?

hahahahahaha yayyyyyyyyy!

its a pizza pie! deep V dish pizza wicked!!

dude.. did you get white deep v's? those things are h-o-t!

Pizza is not white. Try again.
*warming up the truing stand*

covered in mayo to make it white...

i'm starting a pool to see how long duppy can keep his white deep v's gleaming. i'm thinking you should carry a tooth brush in the hat / afro ghetto-sneaker-cleaning-style to keep those bad boys shining!

anyone know where i can get a black cycing cap? i'm thinking of those campy or cinelli ones with the world champ stripes down the middle. i checked at urbane/dukes and nada.

keith, you sell caps?

Since he has to wipe his bike down to bring it in his office, I am gonna say a looooong time.:D

No I dont. Velotique? Bicicletta? I think DanHalen has one. Dan?

I can see the V's gleaming every morning. For the realm of scrub your kicks when you get home from school, indeed Jeremy.

hahahahaha

one slightly used toothbrush in the cap...check!;)

You can be on these at the end of the day if you like? Not much else goin on.
In other news Duppy's average speed just went up 5kph.
