Not sure if it was one of the Cycle Jerks. Just a coffee cruiser more than likely. Off of Alameda and Grant.

As for something Herr Freud/darkside was questioning, if your running a knog more than likely you don't ride far, (hence the mention of long rides)...and likely don't have a commute longer than a couple of miles, tops. It has nothing to do with 'cool', thanks. I left 'cool' and hip behind when I cut my mohawk off almost 20 years ago Spanky.

Whether I like lights or not, year round commuting, 20 miles RT and night shift work requires it.

I haven't been hit... yet. I also have a cateye headlight, but I need to fix the bracket.

You assumed that you know something about my qualifications to offer some advice. That advice was contained in a sarcastic response, just like your sarcastic response quoted in this post. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume (uh oh!) that you were bullied a bit in school, and you are oversensitive when someone pokes fun at others, hence your very silly reply.

Whatever the case, I am glad that you have it in you to stand up for someone else over the internet. It shows great strength, courage, and moral responsibility.

I suppose that I should not that the second paragraph (and maybe more) should be read in a sarcastic tone. I wouldn't want to leave you on your own to assume how to read it.

thish fread ruelsh!!

Show me where I said I know something about your qualifications.

I said "everyone who scored better than a D in Psych 101". Guess what, smart-ass, that includes everyone who got a D+ throught to A+. It includes everyone who gave up psychology after that class, as well as everyone who went on to get a PhD in psychology, or multiple PhDs, and everything in between. In fact, the only way I could be wrong about my assumption is if you either never took Psych 101 or scored lower than a D.

As far as assumptions go, I'd say that's a pretty safe bet.

Also, you're wrong about my school days. 0 for 2, Pavlov.

Pavlov? You could have illustrated the point with a better figure.

You do not understand sarcasm and seem very silly. Way to go, you.

Wrong again, Jung.

Actually my observations can not be wrong, you can simply disagree. I'll take any further replies via PM. Thanks, space slug.

Dear OP: If your lights are so awesome, why didn't you see him?

Actually, they can. You are wrong about my inability to understand sarcasm. I merely chose not to respond to it.

^ Ya got me. Discussion over.

Blah Blah Blah Blah... how do you get 3 pages out of a guy pissed at a rider with bad lights? Really?!

Haha I love this forum.


CONTINUE!

jabba just got called a space slug........ bahahahah

I prefer Interstellar Slimy Person thank you very much.

omfg dyinggggggg

i dont get how any of you could just not SEE somebody else on a bike. i mean, do you ride in caves? remote jungles? forest areas? maybe i just havent ridden around in enough places, but i really dont have a hard time seeing things around my neck of the woods (note: not actually woods) even when there arent street lights. i live in an urban area, so there it doesnt get that dark, but this guy is in denver. its not like hes on some unlit highway out in the country.

obviously im not against using lights, of course they make you more conspicuous to cars, but bikes? are you just off in lalaland, and you need to see a light to snap back to attentive mode? im baffled.

if anybody ever hit me bike on bike, id give em an earful, and depending on the damage done, i might kick the **** out of them. seriously how stupid/oblivious/aloof do you have to be to hit another biker?

disagree if you want, but i just dont see how two attentive riders (im assuming they both have eyeballs, and arent admiring their glow in the dark oury grips or their purple anodized bar/stem setup while riding 20+mph) could ever run into one another. are we talking head on collision? t-bone? coming around a blind corner? rear ending somebody is out of the question right? or am i giving people too much credit?

i mean for two bikers to hit, both of them have to be unable to see the other rider right?

please explain to me how this could possibly occur.

my guess is that you all ride in caves. lulz

Mohawks are not, and have never been, cool and/or hip

thats not so, mr holier than thou.

Not old enough to remember punk rock, are you?

As you checked my "about me" stats and found nothing, you are merely making an assumption based on my comment. An incorrect assumption.

Here the assumption police come again.

Are you just here to argue and be a dick? Looking at your posts that's what you seem to do in the majority of them. Why?
