why?
Ok, so im sitting at my favorite coffee shop, outside, where its raining a little, thats when i see it. Some sissy-lala is driving around in there brand new toyota tacoma..........with a beautiful matching bianchi pista proudly sittin in the bed. I would really like to know what this loser was thinking, why have a bike like that to throw in the back of your pickup. I live in a town of about 50,000, there is no reason to drive, anywhere, certainly not if you have a bike that fly.

Two guesses. a) he's a beginning trackie. That's his track ride and he's on his (or her!) way to the 'drome.... nah. b) Dude, how else is a guy supposed to get to the bike path?
I mean, sorry, but this is the USA. I don't know why you're surprised that people drive their bikes to and fro in their cars. It's just the way it is.

Maybe he has a knee injury and didn't want his pista to forget what wind blowing through its hair was like.

Because I type so much faster than I write longhand. And I get to annoy more people.
Next question?
