I like that "+aliens" has taken off so well, it's quite like watching your child chug his first beer, and then make out with his best friend.

Yep! I fervently second this. All of my closest friends have been informed to kill me on the spot if I ever utter this stupid saying. Thank you for pointing this one out Bklyn.

Bikes: Steel geared. Steel Fix.

We ride bikes, predominantly ride fix, and all post on an internet forum.

We're a group of people who ride 'different' bikes to show how individual we are and then join together on this forum, only to try and point out how different we are again and point out the 'cliches' and annoyances.

Does this strike anyone else and wierd and hypocritical? Don't get me wrong, I'm including myself in this critiscism.

The most annoying post category has to be when people have a post about Tony from IRO. He seriously comes up every week..."Well I talked to Tony and" or "Just talk to Tony." Everybody's tight with Tony!
