from teiaperigosa himself: "if I have the light, but there are no cars riding alongside me and a large pack of pedestrians try to cross the street, while I come steamrolling down the street... they all get real surprised when I come whistling loud as fuk or saying "yo yo" or some **** like that and then they scatter tatatter like they stole something 's actually fun, cause I usually just speed up and play roulette with them" "riding high is way more fun than riding drunk" i don't know - seems like expatriate pretty much has you pegged. |

Who says you gotta be fixed to dodge peds...or get high? I could do just as much damage to the "good reputation" (haha) of bicyclists by acting similarly on a $50 Wal-Mart rig. PS-- smoke dope! ride bikes! be free! I don't give a ****! |
I guess fixed gear riders also never reproduce. Good thing I had my kids before I got fixed.

anyone read chimblysweep's answer on that thread? witty. i liked it.

Likewise, there are plenty of people that view the SS/FG crowd as irresponsible thrill-seekers. The irony of all this is that I was not implying anything about them. I was merely pointing out that the driver being discussed in the original post may have the incorrect perception that Baiskeli was behaving in an unsafe manner, when he clearly wasnt. I also tried to drive home the point that this driver should be made to be aware that he could have left a woman without her partner, or children without their dad. |
i guess i'm just full of "wry quips" today, eh, imoncrank?
|
i had geared bike once.. but i just couldnt seek out enough thrills on it.

Even if you CAN put aside your anger long enough to do it it's not neccessarily advisable. You never know who you might be talking to. Lots of car drivers are stressed out and agressive. They see a bike they didn't know existed a moment ago whiz by an inch off their inside fender, they are likely to be angry instead f concerned, and yes some may even be violent towards the cyclist. Pulling out your wallet to show them pictures of your grandkids might not persuade them not to bludgeon you with the nearest blunt object.
