I hate track bikes
 

Thats it! Im getting a recumbent! Now thats what i call stylin' yo!


As if!

This thread is for bike snobbery of which I have been accused many a time. Im getting better, but i suppose im just a sucker for the classic steel feel.

Might see some of you in Montreal at the NACCC's!

ciao!

I Smell a Troll and it stinks like dog Sh*t

recumbents are for old ppl

From that low position you'll have a nice view of my ass as I blow by you.

"what i call stylin' yo"

That's what matters Whitey! Keep it real, homeboy!

My largish friend, 300 pounds, has a bike E. He's got 21 gears and he does pretty well keeping up with me on my singlespeed. I like all bikes, when im older and fatter i'm gonna get a recumbant if thats what it takes!

Sometimes sarcasm falls flat. Check out his homepage. He's no troll. Whether he's hiding a recumbent in his closet is another matter.

That's fo shizzle!

Post pics!!

Would be cool to see how our Chicago guy competes there.

Fix the recumbent

Fix your wagon.

friend had a recumbent and i fooled around with it for 10 min, he lives on a super steep hill, so maybe that was part of the problem, but i found it super hard to ride. balance all off. they suck!

*Paint* your wagon.

It's a lawn chair on wheels.

Well it aint broke

uhulch

Very impressive website!

A fixed recumbent would be hardcore.

thats one of my favorites in terms of elegance. almost like a track bike. those ridiculously
long chains spoil it though. what i dont like about them is that you cant really use your
body for balance and quick moves like on a regular bike. no hopping or even lifting the front
wheel. you just sit there and play "engine". more like driving something than riding.

I was talking to a guy the other day who regularly pushed a 62x13 on his bent. that made me think about respecting them a little more.

No worries! Will do, just like pics from edmonton, and the last alleycat i organised.

Hope your man from the windy city can ride, cause this little aussie is riding for gold!

ciao!
