That's not a reflector soldier! That is a high efficency photon radiation rebounding device. It hypnotizes anyone peering at it as it goes around and around and distracts their aim. Pacific Strategic optical supply makes those for our fine military at a cost of $400 apiece. Also made by this fine company is the vertical stiffening rim retainment device protector made out of a highly plasticised substance and located next to the largest rear sprocket.

I got to visit some large Army bases in Iraq in the summer of 2006, these were basically old Iraqi Air Force bases. You may have to walk a long way to get from your housing area to a chow hall or the BX or gym. The MiGs I saw were lined up in a junkyard, mostly with graffiti painted all over them. I saw GIs riding bikes around base, and saw Huffy type MTBs for sale in the BXs. The Army sends troops to Iraq for a year. If I was there for a year I'd get a bike too, even a Huffy. It beats walking everywhere.

It is funny you say that because it is true. I had a boss that worked for General Dynamics on the F-16's. He use to tell me Russia built or designed their planes like tanks since they had such poor runways and where often cluttered with trash. Some of their planes had flaps that could open and close over the intake so no to suck in all the trash on the runway.

I think if I have to go out with the bike, I want some really nice steel bike, probably custom, since I won't have any need for money after the fact. If I can just drop it off, I think I would use my wife's bike, since she doesn't, and turn it in as a theft to my insurance company.

A Wally World bike. The exact model wouldn't matter.

I was going to say... Ross with a kickstand. But no, someone beat me.
Why, volleybrad? I guess nice guys always finish last. I think my massive guads slowed me down.

Making a kilometer blurry
NYPD released the surveillance video (click "Next" or "2" to get to the surveillance, it's the 2nd video).
You can easily see he was on a Hummer MTB. Three pixels big, plain as day. What's my prize?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

That's the fold point, it's a folding mountain bike.
