[quote=“MASTODON”]Well as a fellow baltimoron, the like messengers hang out more like up past the legg mason building, so my guess is that it was more like just some fixed gear dude, we have more and more everyday it seems here.
What kind of bike was he riding? Hed 3 and a chub hub?[/quote]
Haha nah. I didnt really pay attention. Looked fixed, steel, spoked wheelset… nothing out of the ordinary. I hear the comment from behind us, see him ride around, glance at his bike and just sorts thought “Huh? Did that just happen? LOL”. I’ve ridden up through downtown past the guys lounging outside the buildings up Charles St. Never had anything said to me… and I look like a circus bear on a track bike. We were only like 4 blocks from the Legg Mason building down on Pratt heading to Fells to go to Fletchers downstairs cause the bartender is my friend (fellow track bike rider and long time skateboarder) and they play “Always Sunny” episodes a lot. I wasnt meaning to make a big deal out of it but I was up late and had to share haha.
[quote=“Tbirdbassist”]It took me like 3 hours to get through Mash.
And I just assed myself because I realized I’ve referred to other peoples bikes as fixay’s in the condescending way. Mainly the people who try to race you and the office folk who book it up the Williamsburg Bridge only to lose all steam halfway up the ramp. Like, who is in that much of a rush to get home, I see so many almost accidents on that bridge because of impatient fucktards it’s ridiculous.
“OMG I HAVE TO SERIOUSLY GET INSIDE MY HOUSE LIKE NOW AFTER BEING INSIDE ALL DAY GTFO OF MY WAY!!!”.
Whenever I stop doing this and find myself inside most of the time I’m going to make the best of my commute and enjoy it.[/quote]
conquer the hill. haha.
it took me a while to finish mash too. after a while i just muted it and listened to my own music while i watched it
someone yelled “nice buttcrack bike” at one of my friends when we were riding the other day. i’m pretty sure neither of our buttcracks were showing, and i think maybe he meant because you bend over on roadbikes in general? i don’t know. it confused me.
my friends all call them fixed gear and fixie, they dont care what people say though, i tried showing them the forums and they called me an idiot. lol Most people around here dont care what they are called i guess.
I got honked at and cut off by some guy in a black pick up truck, I yelled at him and gave him the bird.
He pulled over and got out of his car and it was a cop.
People in north texas believe bikes belong on sidewalks when in reality its against the law to ride them on sidewalks down here unless the wheels are under 20".

I fucking hate north texas sometimes[/quote]
I freaked out last week because some car was going aggro on me and I of course flipped them off and weaved through traffic just to piss them off some more. Then as she came up on my ass she looked like my judge who sentenced me to probation for reckless on a bicycle. I took off through an alley and gave a nice wave goodbye. I’m hoping if it was my judge she wont recognize me when i have to show up again on december 15th.

He only stopped because you’re a ginger and he knew your ass would be super easy to kick.
I learned “Close the gap!” from one of my coworkers. It’s perfect for when we’re riding home from work and some fixed gear dude or roadie comes zipping down the MUP at 30mph. “CLOSE THE GAP, KILLER! CLOOOOSE THE GAP!”
