Hi,

I'm roommates with Josh, aka. bodegabandit. He has not been seen by myself or my other roommate since sunday afternoon. we are rather worried. we know he is really involved in his biking but he has never been away from home without stopping in or calling this long. please call [phone number] or email [email] if you have seen or heard from josh since sunday. or if you know where he is tell him to give us a call or to come home.

thanks,

rebecca and sierra

He's been posting on the forums as recent as last night... so I assume he's around somewhere - at his girl's?

Well he did start that post this morning entitled "Help I've Been Kidnapped!!", but it was moved due to it's lack of fixie content. I'm sure he's fine. And you guys are great roommates.

PS. this past saturday/sunday we were talking about his lack of a cell phone and how jealous I was of him.

It's nice not being teathered to a cell phone. lucky bastard

The tether is only as long as you want it to be. Just turn the phone off.

my bad on the spelling.

i'd love to leave my phone off but unfortunatly, a bunch of my family is really sick so i need to be avaliable at all times. I just don't like how if you have a cell phone people expect you to get right back to them.

but that's another story. come back josh!

all this talk about being tied to your cell phone. do you get millions of calls or something? people rarely call me, i enjoy getting phonecalls most of the time.

i seem to get quite a few phone calls and it seems that whenever I don't want it to ring, it does. family telling me someone's in the hospital, girlfriend, etc etc etc. it's my fault for getting one, i guess.

Hey, you can't have a teather without teat.

It's like a reality show in progress. Tune in next week to see if Josh (aka bodegabandit) gets his "****ing ass home". Or takes to living on the street.

Will he get the money?
Will he smooth things over with his cool roomates?
Will he be forced to roam aimlessly on his fixie like Cain (but on a fixie)?

Tune in and find out!

will a paceline of spandexed road cyclists harshly force him into a race-or-die ultimatum every week, to which he must effortlessly smoke their @$$=$ against his more enlightened wishes?

i'd assume that those comments were either
1) in jest
or
2) before another several days went passing with no sign of him
