you work at the bike church? i think i met you today

Evidently I have work to do tonight. You all had better be doing this next Monday still.

I should be around next week.

Hey this is Chip's roomate. If anyone who is coming has a spare strap for a toeclip, could you please bring it? Chip split his on the way to where you're going, likely in the course of doing something ********.

Didn't find a strap, but the ride was fun. I almost had to fight some dude by the art museum because I tapped on his window to warn him about an upcoming virtually invisible chain stretched across a parking lot entrance. How was I supposed to know that he was looking for somewhere to be alone with his hooker? We got 29 mph on the fast bit (aka the parkway). We could have done better. Maoz ran out of pita (?!?) so we went to some falafel joint at 2 and Chestnut. Some liked their falafel, some didn't. I would give it a solid meh. Next week is on for sure.

And I split my strap skidding. I have no luck with clips/straps. Maybe it's eggbeater time.

this explains why I saw the group of you riding down south street last night... I wondered what was going on.

Hey all,
I'm an infrequent participant in the Philly fixie scene (except the 'cats) who now has a job more convenient to late night jaunts such as this one. Great idea, by the way. Hope to see you all Monday, Thursday and any other two wheeled time. Hallelujah, my lameness is coming to an end! Insert smarmy comments here...

Maybe I saw you... were you unlocking across from maoz as we rode by?

sweet that this is gaining interest. one thing about next week though guys, we should stick together (to minimize bellingerent john run-ins) and nix the chit-chat stops so that we can get to maoz before they run out of pita. i'm not trying to wait 20 minutes for an overpriced falafel at jabakabob again.

True. Doing that little climb isn't worth it with those pylons there anyway.

shall we try this again tomorrow night? the May Mirst Maoz Monday Mride we can call it...
11pm at 25 and locust work for everybody?

I will most likely come out this time.

Upgrade that most likely to a HELL YEAH. It's on on this lovely Monday evening fo sho.

i'll be out, but no falafel. pay day is friday

Ill be there, with another.(not katie)

I'll cover yours tonight in exchange for you doing the same for me next week.

Ill trade someone some 62cm wide bullhorns for a maoz.

its okay

Consider me upgraded.

I don't think I've ever even seen a pair of bullhorns that wide (not counting homemade bullhorns).

Does that mean "yes" or "no?" I realize most Philly people use it to mean "no," but if you think about it, "it's okay" is ambiguous because it's not clear to what "it" refers. Is "it's okay" a Philly/PA/Northeast/East Coast thing? Some times when I use "it's okay" out-of-state people just look at me all confused.

hmm, we should have a bike swap meet involving food. the partless and hungry unite.

I'll admit it... I fell asleep at 10:30 or something.

Can we get an old people's ride together? We can ride around a bit at about 4:00 PM, then stop at a diner for the early bird special. Maybe we can get some apple sauce even. Just let me know 'cause I'll need to pick up my Bengay beforehand.

Or how about an old people who work late ride? We could meet at like 7 and ride for 1/2 hour. Then maybe I would be able to do it.

Yeah, I would actually need to meet at something like 7:00 because of work. The 4:00 business was just to emphasize how lame I am.

jesse dont be a wuss. puts the girls to bed and come to some rides. that being said, i am literally skipping the pretzel ride as i type this because i am a very tired hypocrite at the moment.

so i assume it's on for this week, 25th and locust at 11 pm. someone just confirm that though.

I'll be there, but I don't know if anyone else will.

I'll be there next week possibly, don't let it die!

You guys going tonight? (Monday the 8th).
I maaaaay.

yeah i'm definitely planning on going
