Wouldn't it be sweet if there was a movie about a renegade bike cop that rode a fixie and he had an uzi in each hand and he did a no handed skid right down the center of the street while on each side were a bunch of bad dudes?
he's all skiddin' along bastin' away coming right towards the camera and he's got a cig burning away in his mouth and there's huge explosions goin' off behind him. and he's bare foot too.
Then he does a 360, trackstands, drops the uzi's to the ground, a flock of doves take to the air behind him (what was just the direction he was traveling) he takes one foot off the pedal and pulls a knife out of his boot and throws it into the crime boss' main tough guy's knee. Or sometihing.

The matrix Reloaded would have been tons cooler if they all were riding bikes.

now that i think about it, how funny would it be if there were undercover bike cops on fixie's? well, not that funny since they'd issue tickets and all but i would get a short laugh first.

The bike cops around Chicago are pretty funny, too. I always wondered how they're trained. If someone is running on foot, are they going to try to make a jump from the pedals to tackle them? Are they supposed to take aim at a criminal while hammering after him? Given how badly they ride (and how woefully out of shape most of them around here are) I would be terrified if one ever drew a gun while in the saddle. When you can barely hold your line because you're riding so slowly (in a huge gear for no reason), why would anyone in the right mind trust you with a firearm?
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Down here in Houston the Tazers are a big fuss. I am just wondering if the Bike Cops got them.... Ride, take aim, insert pothole...ingredients for a funny video clip.

Wow it does seem you feel more superior to the person you are referring to.. People all have there opinions and are entitled to post them .. I hope this web site is not a snobbery web site like the Serotta one I once joined and no longer a part of..

There is a hierarchy closely associated with dollar figures. The car you strap your bike on the back of is also closely scrutinized. Everybody knows those two criteria are directly proportional and possibly even a determinant factor in Chamois size.
