Just seems wrong
 

Remeber, always wear a helmet when descending an inflatable water slide.


Red Bull would have something to do with that.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

i thought this thread was gonna be about this http://ljplus.ru/img/d/a/dashing/060313_bike.jpg

Beautiful.

Makes me hungry for a pretzel

Some of the images in this video are just plain wrong.

A) what the hell is the story of that bike

B) its like an alleycat for normal people

the watersports part was a little weird

ah ye defenders of "bike culture". Silly checkpoint races have been around since the 80s. Chillax.

+1!!

oh roger, you're getting me all wet

Looks like fun to me! I haven't done most of those things since I was tiny. It would be a blast to ride my bike through a giant gauntlet of bubbles! I liked the shot of the dad pushing his daughter's bike while they both wore matching gear. Alleycats need some of that good old fashioned family goodness.

OMG, alleycats are like, so unique and original.

http://www.gthhh.com/ , racing around and drinking since 1938.

I'm not gonna pretend I'm as cool as you people.
It looked like fun to me. Haha but then again I AM a big dork.
Damn, now it's official.

Heh who wants to ride bikes through bubbles with me?!?

money grubbing yuppie scum from HELL!

all i said was "this event for 'normal people' is analogous to an alleycat for fg/ss/alt-culture people"
i didn't say "alleycats were totally here first, copy-cats". i can see why you'd think that though.

because you're stupid, thats why.

<---- This guy

parents!!! why won't they shut up!!
parents!!! why won't they shut up!!

Whoa. That post made me happy for two reasons.
1) Someone will play in the bubbles with me and
2) Your subtitle is a [n indirect] quote from The Streets <3<3cheesyinternetheart<3

it looks sort of like fun. i mean, i don't know how much fun most of us would have kicking it with upper middle class suburban spandex-clad dentist and lawyer cyclist group, but the events look like fun.

not to discriminate, but cripes, i know i'd have very little to talk about with a comparatively rich 45-year old dude on a 5000 dollar 27-speed bike.

Damn - didn't see the video before I posted the link, just the race descriptions. It does look like it could be fun, theough a little too wholesome for my tastes. But at least they had beer :D

Ease up. All I'm saying is that there is no 'normal people'. You (allegedly) ride a bike. Get over it.

you know, i retract what i said about 5000 dollar 27 speed bikes, i was just getting carried away. suburban and upper middle class, i could have left it at that. wholesome, family oriented bike racing. meh. i could, however, deal with an alelycat where one of the checkpoints was, you know...pin the tail on the donkey or one of those "carry the egg in the spoon" races. with shots of liquor as penalties/prizes.

the only people who can be cool and family-ish at the same time are hippies. and not the stupid ones. the ones who grow pot and raise goats and get back problems and ride rivendells.

When I play in bubbles, I take my time. No need to race.
