Pleasure. I try and organize rides once in a while through my bicycle club, The Screaming Monkeys. (see sig link) If you're not into the myspace thing; here's the homepage.
I love meeting new people on rides, so feel free to come along and bring some homeboys/girls next time I post a ride announcement.

I. The first is more of a friendly guideline than a rule: Wear a ****ing helmet.
II. To **** with one Screaming Monkey is to **** with the whole jungle; protect your homies.
III. Never hit a man once he's hit the floor. Unless that man is Carson ****ing Daly. Go nuts.
IV. Lock your bike. With a good lock. Do not trust society to not jack your ****.
V. Respect *****es.
VI. In day to day activity, be sure that you are always kicking ass and ****ing **** up.
VII. Monkeys are color blind. The bicycle club that is; I have no clue about the actual primate.
VIII. Wear your colors at all possible times. Rep this **** to the fullest.
IX. Do not discriminate when it comes to types of bicycles. 2 wheels and pedals = bicycle. Recumbents need not apply, however.
X. Listen to Slayer.

Hmmm...I don't know too many cyclists. I guess anyone who says hi and isn't looking down on my rolled up khakis and mushroom helmet on a crappy 10 speed.
Sorry I don't have a pista and a cycling cap.

He is the ****! He puts on the AA Alleycats. Someone else put on another and only 5 of us showed up, him included. He came to the start line with a flat tire. Toasted the tube and the tire, and I lent him my spares I carry. I think he was maybe a little slower than usual because he got T-boned by a car a little while ago. His bike looks totally different now than that pic: light blue spray bombed frame and orange Deep Vs and orange Ourys.
I don't think I've seen him around AA personally.

only regurlarly riding bike people i have seen in my suburban wasteland are "car wash guy" who works at the carwash and rides to and from work (i assume) and he rules. he's always so goddam dirty and it looks like he has an everlasting squint
another dude i've seen is this guy that has about 100 little bells, flags, horns, whistles, lights, and a stereo on his bike and he waves to everyone he kicks ass

I keep seeing this homeless man who rides around on a black fixed gear without brakes. He never goes above 5mph and rides one handed while carrying around a huge garbage bag filled with who knows what. This is in NYC. I think he goes around collecting cans and bottles for refund. Probably makes more than the messengers.

Oz: grumpy old hip-hop listening dude who is big and thick like a yeti, but he always wears full spandex when riding trails, and he just rips it up. Seriously hammers. Sometimes he comes to the BMX track too and does footplants on the steep parts.

We have a cross-dressing cyclist. If you are in one place for too long in the right part of town, you will get a lecture on how tubies are the best thing ever, and you're stupid for not having them, even if you ride exclusively in the glass filled streets of columbus.
Hence... the tubular trani.
Anyone who's ridden any amount of time here has been confronted with their stupid clincher use.

I was going to tell about this guy too. I used to hear him from my dorm room at night, sometimes it would wake me up. There is also a cool guy in Southie that has a recumbent rowing bike that is pretty BA.. like the erg motion replaces the cranks and pushes forward.
