my new sig
so we're cruising through central park last sunday on our distance ride...
beautiful weather, and it's packed with pedestrians, roller bladers, weekend riders, and the like. our pack, about 7 or so, is picking and weaving our way through the mess so we can get out of the park, and back into traffic - this is one of those rare occasions when traffic seems safer than not.
anyway, as we pass a father and his young daughter, giving her a *w i d e* berth (she's probably all of 5 years old), he yells at her, "watch out, [little tracy], those are the bikes that will kill you!"
had a good chuckle at that one. she'll forever be afraid of track bikes, and i'm secure in knowing that i ride one of 'those bikes' that kill people. sweet.

Yeah, um I disagree. The bikes that kill you are the walmart bikes. Yesterday I was passing through a park and had to skid off in the grass because and entire family of idiots played chicken with me. All four of them in my lane pedaling at a frantic pace and all looking the other way. Idiots.
