All we know of the situation is what the OP has mentioned.
For those knocking road bikes: I say don't knock it till you've given them a real shot (not a half-hearted I-rode-one-up-the-block-once try). I said the same things about clipless pedals 5 years ago and I got booed off the forum.

I know. I was kidding around (I do that occasionally).

Yeah, my time is NYC demonstrated the need for being "nimble". I'd go in the 60 range now that I think about it.

I'm going the opposite way and will start riding in blackface.

Scrod you're a real class act making t-shirts with nazi symbolism and joking about riding in blackface
You should come ride through my neighborhood in Brooklyn in blackface and see what happens.

Dude, shut up. As if this hasn't been discussed a thousand times before, it's a t-shirt making reference to a well-known KISS shirt.
The pic of the dude in full black metal garb is just as ridiculous as the one of Al Jolson, IMO.

Nope. Just as mihlbach probably won't be riding around in corpse paint any time soon, I won't really be donning blackface. It was a joke. Get over yourself and it.

All I'm saying dude is whether you realize it or not (which obviously you don't) joking and posting pictures in a bike forum of people in blackface is offensive.
I don't come here to see that ****

OK. And I don't come here to see pics of flying squirrels, cats or dudes in corpse paint (but sometimes it happens).
It's over, man. Let it go........

Ok I'm done.
You thinking a pic of someone in blackface is the same as a pic of a flying squirrel shows where you head is at.
And the fact that you have dreadlocks makes the whole thing even more absurd.

You're absolutely right. I'll learn to be much more uptight and easily offended.

My brain can't take it! The fact that I have dreads makes it all even more difficult to understand! adflkjgsdSDFSGJHSFAGLJBFH.............
