Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

My policy is: if you can get away, run. Look around, asses the traffic, figure out which next street you can go the wrong way down. You'll be pumping with adrenaline for the rest of the day. If you can't get away, don't try - it only makes things worse. You better be sure you can get away. Cops are ******fags. And they've also got sirens which can make traffic get out of the way for them. So basically what I'm saying is that this is really bad advice. But I'm just sayin.

Shows that sound exactly like the album are comforting, but I'm a cocktard.

+1 for me for use of new word in a sentence that contains two simultaneous, yet seperate ideas.

The ghost ridden bike at the top is a nice touch.

you know the NYPD is 4 times larger than the Border Patrol? And there's 10,000 more cops (not including administrative people) than everyone in the FBI?

Did you know that the universe is 99 percent vacuum? That includes people.

Can you still get tickets for being in the park after 1AM?

i seriously thought about it. but then i thought maybe i could talk my way out of it. and then i saw his Smith & Wesson bike and it was all downhill from there. talking sh*t to the cops doesn't help your cause, and telling him to ticket the ped crossing against the hand, actually hurts it..."oh i notcied you only have one brake, that's another summons."

seriously, Smith & Wesson. When do you think they decided to make the leap from .38's to mountain bikes?

lets just say an ******* cop decided to try and run someone off the road after 7, and when that person gave a lil' tap on the hood after almost getting flattened, the cop got his panties in a twist and issued a summons for not riding in a bike lane.

I got a $231 ticket for a rolling stop at a stop sign, turning right from bike lane to bike lane without ever even entering the intersection.
I wrote a polite letter explaining everything and the judge suspended the fine.
But then, the right judge read my letter.
It could have gone the other way.

smith and wesson is the sticker the bikes are made by giant just like 90% of the frames in the world. Giant makes Trek, Lemond, Fisher, ****ing et cetera...

If you want an Al frmae with Shimano parts buy the giant it is the same thing, wholesale.

Unless Lance was in the saddle I think I could outrun that bike.
Not advocating..just making an observation.
