Ok thanks you guys, you helped alot and I'll check that our lexrides.com

Maybe we can become friends or something (I just moved here with no friends for college lol)

I just got my bike today woot, (not my very first bike but its the first NICE one i have had) its awsome

I need to figure out how to change the brakes theyre disc brakes im going to go ask for help now and I think I need a new tire, its kind of leaking i think

First it was gentrification, now it's wage slave labor?
Great, now Hipsters are going to take away immigrant's hard earned jobs too?! Where is that illegal immigrant with the Magna bike going to work now?
I see this horrible future... Kids with tight jeans and smug attitudes riding keirin Frames delivering overpriced "organic" food to some Kid with tight jeans and a smug attitude living in a loft conversion.
John Connor! Where are you?! Save us!

sleepy, not to worry. many immigrants come from countries where bikes are not hipster; they're a way of life. Once they've been hired, I'm sure they'll give their sister's pants back and probably go with cargo shorts and some crocks-knocks from payless.

Yeah, it depends on where you live though. In Clifton bikes are faster most of the time, same with areas surrounding Clifton (Mt. Auburn, etc) downtown would be the same, but inter-neighborhood transport would be better handled by car. The Cincinnati metro area is a huge area so I guess I should have been more specific.

we already have this in williamsburg, brooklyn

please, lofts as gentrification? didn't know that unused warehouse buildings were so frequently homes for low income minority families. also was unaware that empty buildings and new construction were so preferable to reuse. heck, sometimes, they even turn the unused warehouse buidlings into, get this, lofts that are low-income certified so poor folk can live in them.

i don't care who's living downtown in a loft because it's 'hip', more people in concentrated downtowns is a hell of a lot better for urban sprawl, and most bike advocates should be in favor because it's a better chance at 'car free' infrastructure that most cyclists seem to rant and rave about.

Funny/sad because it's true. If your city/town isn't congested enough to need bike messengers you should be grateful. If you want the urban bike experience... move to big, dirty, crime ridden *****hole with overpriced rent, and crackheads on every street like the rest of us city folk.

Yeah imagine that, a community of people living in a high density urban area in retrofitted and renovated housing units consuming natural foods being transported on human powered vehicles.


what a bleak ****ing future that is

a ****in' men son

in cincy, you ain't getting messenger work. there's one there who's just barely making it. i have a friend that worked for jimmy johns there and it sounds like a much more reasonable idea.

I foresee a left-wing Sao Paulo in the near future [or now].... Concentrated packs of upper-class Yipsters living in "Green" Cities with high density, multi-use buildings, riding bikes and using mass transit to do high-tech jobs, while lower-class anglo/pick your immigrant ethnicity live in the outer areas in a polluted, automobile oriented hellhole of congested lower income housing.
But hey, you don't have to worry about that, right? Have fun drinking your fair-trade organic coffee, while everyone else drinks their 99 cent, lead tainted cup'O'joe.
