I was actually asked by the Brown and RISD security to remove bikes with U-locks on them cuz they couldnt without either cutting the frame or the bike rack and in exchange for cleaning up their campuses of old abandoned bikes the co-op i volunteer at got all the bikes. and i have no shame or guilt about doing this. cuz a bike that sits too long becomes worthless, and if the person who left it there clearly doesnt want it why not actually get it ridden and used again?

i'm 28 and really psyched to feel like less of an adult than i have in years. my main focus of the next two weeks is to ride my bike as much as possible

I think I want a road bike :o

I don't want to be an adult anymore!

u gotta have one

I'll just leave this here:

I test rode a Velogi. And I liked it.

Slammed stem and still almost positive saddle to bar drop?

I sold my fixie with a Swift Ti leather saddle and Phil wood high flange hubs for less than $300 to eat and pay the rent. I wish now that I'd been evicted and went hungry and starved to death while riding that bike.

Tough. Good luck.

give in! So worth it

Thanks. I appreciate it. FWIW, I'm treating myself to a new fixie this week-end for my b-day. It won't be nearly as nice my old one...but it will help to fill the hollow space left in my life. I can't wait to be almost whole again.

I no longer have a commute, and my riding has suffered IMMENSELY as a result.

I am a newb, occasionally ride the sidewalk and I listen to music.

Trying to stop the sidewalk thing but I needs my music.

Oh man, so illegal.

<---- So rebellious..

listening to music is not illegal everywhere near is sidewalk riding.

just most places.

and only one of the two is overly dangerous as long as you look behind you regularly...

I guess my next confession is that I also wish I was rich ^ Definitely won't be shopping for Dura Ace bikes :p This would be more like it

Though I currently have a ***** for BMC though for whatever reason

someone give me some money!

i would probably go bananas for a street racer sr01 built with apex

You guys are not alone, I've been lusting BMC as of lately too... if my roadie asks, I didn't post this. And we're all pretty much nocturnal huh? :lol:

well I think we know who is going to be our beta tester!

I now have more road bikes than SS bikes :( Altho I'm thinking about buying one of those SSCX Fuji bikes since a LBS here sells them as framesets for pretty cheap.

After exclusively riding brakeless for forever, I love having hoods and brakes on my new bike D:
I tell people I have a single speed road bike or just road bike. Fixie and fixed gear sound weird.
I want a trick bike with a rear rack for commuting and nose pivoting.
I try to make my bike as least flashy as possible.
I like compact geo now more than pershoot bikes, what the hell is wrong with me.
I want to run a full 3/32" drivetrain so bad.
Out of my friends I'm the only one who doesn't buy "the good ****".
The only bike parts I really ever buy are tools :/
I'm so lame

EDIT: I **** on people who have Aerospokes, but desperately want to run a dual set up, so that I can ride the **** out of them.
I also like how they look on the rear when one skids
