Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I put a dirty towel on that carpeted mound, and the chainring sits right on it. The rear of the rear tire touches the inside of the far rear door. The front forks and handlebars are about 2 inches from the near side door. Then I toss the front wheel in the trunk.
I'll try this. On my old bike I had a hard time opening and closing the quick release so I gave up.

What exactly did you hope to accomplish by sending him into that thread? Arguably, you were the one trolling.

You have such a huge chip on your shoulder it's amazing you can even walk.

You said 'started,' and you're still spinning stuff to support your wildly ridiculous jets/sharks thing. You're the good guys and we're the bad guys. As if this thread is somehow different or better or more inclusive or less inane. You also totally ignore the fact that it started as a mocking of the 400 threads that started a day at that time quoting something LA said in his twitter posts. But it served a community purpose ultimately and it stuck around.

And honestly since you clearly have an issue with me why don't you just have the balls to name it, PM me, or take it up with a moderator.

I actually thought he was smarter than that, didn't really think he would go. Worst that would happen if he wasn't was that the alpha dogs would set him straight.

imagine getting the bike and destroying it same day. oh the humanity!

And that's part of my issue with you . So cut and dry. I would have said started, not basically started if I meant started. You can't understand that basically started means it was at the beginning, of which the first page was the beginning.

Man, you really need to get over yourself. It's amazing that someone like you could actually see me as some kind of threat.

My quote.

I don't have to get over myself. Holy pot kettle black. My only issue with you is your repeating posts coloring me a certain way that's based on nothing but the inane BS floating around in your head, and the way you ceaselessly act in a manner as to continue your imaginary forum gang war.

See? You'll work with it a few times and eventually it'll all start to work out.
