"Street Cred is..."

and

"Being Punk Rock means..."

are very similar

I put my rig on the back of my car all the time. I've got a hitch. Some of us just don't have the time to ride everywhere. I've got to generally wear a suit at work so, I don't have time to jump In the shower at the office some days.

60-70% of the time I ride everywhere. But the other times I throw on my bike, go to my destination and ride 50-70 miles. It's just too damn hot in Dallas sometimes too.

A: The stance / fat lace / fresh alloy car show scene does like bike racks, and bike racks with bikes are even better. What OP thinks he's seeing does happen. However, this is probably not what is actually being seen driving around town.

B: I have driven 3 miles to the lake to ride around, then drive back. Agreed it's pretty weak but the bike is still in transport to being ridden, not just for show or "street cred". I like hitting that trail until I'm done, then driving up the impossible hill that there is no way I can make it up running 48/16. Heat index of 110+ makes me lazy I guess.

C: I'm done hearing about "street cred"

Also,
That logic is backwards. For the rec rider, 90% humidity at 105 degrees is an ok reason to skip the commute portion of a ride. (this excuse only valid while sun is up) It sounds like you are the one not riding, blaming the heat =)

I'm just waiting for a one rider solution and then I can take my car everywhere I go!!!

Mad street cred for pulling a Red Bull Mini. I don't like Red Bull at all though.

Man, I kinda wanna do it...

tell that to travis pastrana (who i guess never carries a bike...)

This is true...I've seen pictures from car shows in which bike racks and fixed gears were a prominent feature.

Four of my coworkers bring their fixies to work by car sometimes to ride around during lunch.. they live too far for a practical bike commute. I should make fun of them...

I have three cars and not one bike rack. Suck it.

I have three bikes and not one car rack. Blow it.

^ Well played, sir.

I like to hitch cars to my bike and tow them around the neighborhood. How about that for street cred?

I have dirty laundry. No basket. Lick it.

God forbid I like to take my bike with me when I go out of town or am going all the way to the opposite end of the city for the day.

Are you attempting to imply there are times it is appropriate to take your bike with you as opposed to riding it? I bet you're one of those losers that does things like fly to other countries as opposed to manning up, scheduling your life and cycling there. You know you could always go by cruise boat and cycle around the main deck or at least hook it up to a trainer and spin while the boat is moving. Get some dignity, man.

Damn Old, you nailed it right on the head. I guess I need to just HTFU, right?

Deshi,

I didn't mean to be so harsh to you. It's all done with love, bro. But, you're either doing this thing or you're not. Know what I mean? I mean, have you noticed how things like your outrageous living conditions and exorbitant lifestyle keep you working at a job that actually pays a livable wage keep you from expanding your inner self and getting a job as a messenger or pedi-cabbie? How about how that job keeps you from being able to ride all day shackling you to riding nights and weekends? This has to start making sense to you, man. We want to help you along but you've got to be willing. This is about the whole enchilada. The culture my man. You are either in or you are out. Of course, your choice.

Old, guess im out of it. Either that or your just being a smartass. Im horrible at reading electronic emotions. I enjoy what I do and like to take my bike with me when I go places. I am into cars as well and very much enjoy driving and racing autocross. I have no regrets on driving to places to ride.

Quick couple things:
1- Why didn't my browser show the Red Bull towing earlier, all I saw was the win pic, made me chime in about hauling cars way too late
2- I think I will book a cruise soon and ride around the main (or poop) deck just because it would be funny
3- Guilt Dog is the flipping coolest!!

Deshi,

I'm being a jumbo sized smartass. Heck, I ski/snowboard 6-7 months a year and sail an International 14 when it's not ski season. I live hours away from both hobbies. For me, I love cycling but it's just an ingrained part of my life. I never really "plan" to do it. I do it when I can. I own 2 cars and to be on topic, one car rack. That's because the ski vehicle is a 7 passenger van so I can throw the bike in the back or it would have a rack, too.

poser

I know you're joking, but I went on a cruise earlier this summer and really wished I could have brought my bike to ride on deck.

same. I gained 7lbs that week
