Computer nerds (with bikes) vs. the working poor (with bikes). Fight!
|
Or the ultimate clash, penny pinching messengers who impulsively clean their bikes yet still have enough money to go drinking after work every day.

economically, (with sarcasm)
1. We ****n BF nerds are driving up the cost of track bikes & fixed gear parts so that messengers can't afford them anymore! 2. We S***n BF nerds can keep our race entry fees. they don't want to be soiled by our stickn money. Race organizers will no longer be accepting entries from non-messengers. GO AWAY ITS A PRIVATE PARTY AND YOU ARE NOT INVITED. 3. The term "alley cat" will be patented, any non-messenger organizing such an event will get their butts suited. This is a serious threat, messengers visit law firms everyday day, so they have connections! |

Hey [165], do you know of anyone that has photos of that place or the old punkin' donuts? I'm putting together an autobiographical photo set and for some reason an entire era is missing. |

Messengers do not own urban cycling culture. Nor do urban freeriders nor commuters. Nobody owns it. Anyone who claims otherwise has either an axe to grind or an ego to pad.

there will always be people who divide and subdivide people endlessly into two groups, themselves and the other guys. when they get used to being in the "cool crowd", they'll find a way to divide again, and they'll keep going.
just ignore these types and rest easy knowing you can enjoy a bike ride without all the trouble of always wondering many cool points you have. |
