Today's random thought: What if there was a chipmunk taking a siesta inside the log? That policeman must have ruined the little fella's day.

Wow, so you're saying that OP has telekinetic powers that turn passivity into active causation. Takes a bigger man than me, I suppose, to believe that.

I listen to conflicting statements all day and try to determine truth from them. I'll tell you this, that story is full of embellishment and flair for the sake of storytelling. You clearly can't see that. You're making a huge thing out of damage to a cop car caused by reckless driving. I don't know what the particular police jurisdiction teaches in it's academy, but I do know that Glynco doesn't train feds to be going at a speed that would do the described damage on the shoulder of a road approaching a stopped bicyclist (or motorist for that matter) unless the cop was trying to intimidate OP with his roaring engine and high powered brakes (also known as being a dick).

oh the humanity!!

Another random thought: Just so you can better visualize the bicycle involved, it was a vintage 70's era Schwinn Paramount with 531 Reynolds tubing, ornate chromed Nervex lugs, chromed fork tips and stays, Cinelli bar and quill stem, and full Nouvo Record components (6x2 speed). It had been repainted gold which looked great but in hind sight, destroyed its resale value. It has since been converted into a single speed.

I've never once seen a cop escorting an ambulance.

That said, the OP's behavior is incredibly lame.

everyone is incredibly lame, im incredibly lame. this post of mine is incredibly lame. why we're still here is incredibly lame. lame lame lame

I hope that i can think that quick/have the ability to make a cop run over something huge if i ever get pulled over.

Also, if i ever actually get pulled over, i'm going to start running headfirst into the cop cars that are parked in shard bike lane on hennepin downtown every single time I'm down there, and then sue the city.

No lights on, no emergency, and always at least one there. Bus lane to your right, oncoming traffic to your left, cops where the bikes are "supposed" to be.

honestly what the **** does this have to do with ssfg?

The SS/Fixed riders in my area tend to be anti-authority types. I thought this sub Forum might appreciate the story. Perhaps I was wrong. The bike in question has now been converted to single speed. I just had to exchange the screw-on 6 speed freewheel with a SS BMX freewheel, remove one chainring, shorten the chain, remove the derailleurs and shifters, and adjust the rear axle in the horizontal dropouts.

the point is that I dont think its a logical assumption to assume that fixed gear riders are a bunch of critical mass jerkoffs who think we should stick it to the man che guevera style

dont get me wrong, it was an allright story, just not something I think is inheritly associated with ssfg

:beer: The first post that is not lame. :)

you could stick it to the man every day if you wanted to

And how might one accomplish that?

you could stick it in a man every day if you wanted to

thatd be a start

So lame.

(someone was gonna, I just thought it could be me that did ... I'm so lame )

no, because injury means they're still alive.

edit: yeah, harsh, but the front line of fascism is always the pigs.

+the truth.

The OP also probably beats puppies. With kittens.
