He’s quoted at the bottom…but he revealed a line even he does not cross: 
Kuntzman estimates he’s removed obstructions from or otherwise fixed about 200 license plates, including many associated with law enforcement – but never the Secret Service.
“I generally do not go after Secret Service vehicles for the obvious reason that by definition work being done by the Secret Service is sort of at a high level of safety for very important people,” he said.
I just got passed on the Lakefront Trail by a guy on a red single speed, no shirt, no helmet. As he passed the said “you’re too wide, you should be over there.”, and pointed at the adjacent walking path.
WTF.
lol, I hope you just made believe he wasn’t there.
I would laugh on the outside but inwardly fantasize about reaching ramming speed with the cargo bike that I assume @Rusty_Piton is riding and go full Grond on that jackass.
Somewhat related, but while the group I was with racing on Sunday was lapping an elder fred he shouted something implying we passed him too closely. The overlap of situational awareness deficiency and self-centeredness is generally full.
I didn’t say anything back to him, just felt a little more depressed inside.
In case anyone was feeling wasteful about having multiple bikes or whatever: I just noticed that my neighbor has both a pickup truck for his motorboat and a pickup truck for his trailer (which presumably has atvs or side by sides in it or something—who knows). He’s a certified Trumper and doesn’t allow anyone to park near his house. He once honked at our empty truck when we moved it over there because our driveway was full of contractor vehicles (that’s when we learned that no one may park there).
Removing photo cuz open forum and I don’t want some nut contacting this guy and ruining my neighbor vibes.
I find that stacking a couple of the small black lentils inside the valve cap works best. The greens are too big to fit in the valve right and the red are a bit too flat to properly engage the valve core.
So is this guy broke as shit with the payments on all that crap?
He’s got at least 3 more cars in front of his house. Man, I dunno. House is probably worth close to a million. He seems to be a tradey. Probably bought it decades ago for like tens of thousands and rode the real estate boom up. Maybe that’s enough? Maybe he sells coke on the side? lol
is that lot his property or vacant? do the trucks stay permanently attached to those trailers?
Forget the lentils just open that hydrant a little and turn it into a mud pit that he’ll never get out of.
Well there was enough info in that picture to look the guy up and the trailer is probably full of dirtbikes aaaaaand his wife killed somebody with her car a few years back so watch out!
Oh man my wife and MIL are gonna love this gossip! They certainly have enough cars to have a dedicated murder vehicle.
“Hey the 15 mentally ill guys I talk to on the computer found a terrible secret!”
speaking of forgetting lentils and opening a valve- have we not considered giving the valve core a quarter turn?
Brilliant.
stay on brand!
RIP Carlos. Hit and run from behind while riding to do electrical work for the CTA. The east-west stroads through Skokie are maybe the scariest places I’ve ever ridden. It’s an absolute horror show.
first half inning of a 10yo baseball game and the opposing coach got thrown out for calling the umpire a piece of shit.
this is after a WEEK at nordic ski camp where the worst thing that happened was some bug bites. what is wrong with baseball?
I think I’m the jackass here:
I was riding home hot and tired and frustrated from a beach birthday with a grouchy, overtired, over sugared kid in my bike.
There was a ~60yo couple standing in the street attempting to direct an~18yo in a sedan with Ohio plates into a parallel parking spot.
They were failing miserably and blocking the entirety of the street.
It was pretty clear that none of these people had parallel parked in their lives.
The car was backing down the one way street at us so I stopped and said to myself, “are these people trying to park?”
The mom said,” yes we’re just parking”
Then I said, “how very Ohio of you.” And squeezed around.
The mom yelled some stuff I couldn’t hear.
They gotta learn somewhere that coming to the big city is not without its drawbacks.
They were probably worried about “shot by MS13” and instead got “heckled by goofball bike dad”. Could be worse.
