one month.

the worst part is, when the reminton broke i wasn't even riding it, i was walking it down the side of the street after picking up a package and a huge philadelphia tour bus came speeding by and knocked me over a barrier and ripped my bike under it.

i seriously have the worst luck ever.

WTF? Did the bus swerve towards you?

That seriously sucks. I'm really glad that you are OK though - hit by a bus, holy crap.

What size frame do you ride?

m.

wow. holy ****ing wow. that is ****ty.

****, did you get the info on the bus? A lot of those tour buses are housed near my work. Reed and Schuylkill. They are so damn wreckless when they drive or do anything. In the morning they speed in and out of the garage so fast I'm sure I've been almost hit a half a dozen times. ******** them.

hooray for philadelphia. glad you're ok. what are you working on now? hell, and where? did you jump into one hour after jp got fired?

God I hate bus drivers. The worst the the short school bus drivers.

Get out of Philly. That place sucks. Move *anywhere* else and you're luck will change.

Man, I should move. I need someone to take me in, any takers?

i'm moving back to milwaukee at the end of the september. this place is amazing (milwaukee.) move here. it's the jam

i hate bus drivers too, although i'm one one of them here in NYC and i have to drive soooo damn careful, the stress makes me boil sometimes because i want to ram the shiit out of gypsy cabs!

+1. try nyc aka best city ever.
p.s. sorry about the bikes, that reminton WAS nice.

mcatano - the creme frame was a 56 and the reminton was a 55.

red riding hood - i did get the license plate and a police report but i don't know what type of bus it was. it was a purpleish navy kind of color with gold text on it.

xthugmurderx - i had to retire from rapid because i was fresh out of bikes at that point. i got some retail job and i have a new build in the works.

but, i'm ok, i appreciate everyone's concern.

wtf! sounds like a philadelphia phlash bus.
i hope they find the driver and take his lisence.
what retail job? out of curiosity
good luck

Isn't that the one you got from Reload?

S/F,
CEYA!

maybe dw can repair it

i have an extra matress on the floor. just let me when you'll be here so i have time to clean.

Wow. You think you have bad luck? I think that if a bus knocked you over a barrier and did that to your bike, and you're still alive.......then you have the BEST luck ever!

still got everything you came stock with right still looking at flowers from the right end right good now move

ya know I can't really complain about california too much atleast they don't aim for ya here but cabbies and bus drivers civil servents period are the worst

and now they started velocabs in town these things are rediculous the size of a small car and pedal powered so they can haul fat tourists around the city I have almost hit these gues tones of times they take up the whole bike lane but anyways come out to california move to sf its great

bike weather year round

a little rain doesn't stop anyone

oh and as far as repairs from the pics it looks like you nee new chain stays bb shell forks and down tube on the reminton

and on the cream on it looks like a new for and downtube

I would see if you can get em repaired then you will have spares

what the **** is with people running over peoples bikes and running away?

griffin - american apparel

ceya - sadly, that is the frame i bought from reload. i only got to ride it ONE day before that happened. the name H. SUNAGA is on the frame.

f*ck man....

stay safe and fill us in on where this happened.

i see those damn double decker busses everyday comin down the ben franklin. the other day one squeezed me into the very edge of the bikelane pretty good.

also, let us know if the cops ever plan to do anything... bus drivers and cabbies who are out to "teach us bikers a lesson" really need to have there licenses taken away. this ***** is dangerous enough when people are trying there best not to kill you.

and lastly, i love philly; you all can have your other cities.

i moved from philly to dc for work.
i love dc. i miss some things about philly, but some things i can definately do without.
i don't know if i'd ever move back, but i definately will visit... often.

philly bus drivers are the worse. always runnin reds, beating up apssengers, and not stopping at their stops. it sucks that your bike got f-ed, but at least you werent on it. and yeah, definately sounds like a philash.

but at least it wasnt a duck. nothing could be worse than having a duck run over your bike. they already ruin your day without even injuring you or your posessions.

it just proves that philly is hard.
man some cars tried ****ing with me the other day, well i ruined their day. they got a huge wad of my saliva in their face
