Is this the image you have of bicycle messengers?
I really feel like there’s a big difference between someone who dresses like a prick but rides their bike and someone who dresses like whatever and drives their bike to school and rides it the last mile. The first being kind of asshole-ish, the second being pretty damn ridiculous. If you are really into bikes for more than fashion, then you shouldn’t have a problem with a little exercise. If you have to load up your bike, subject it to dents and scratches and the weather, simply to avoid a 1 mile walk, then there’s probably some ulterior motive. Probably that you really want to be seen riding a bike.
It is unfortunate for you that you live so far away, but in some cases, your only options if you want to have a bike at school are riding the whole commute, or feeling (and looking) like a douche when you unload your bike for a 5 min ride.
That said, I have the feeling that with the proliferation of vehicle owners on this board, this happens more than we think.
i have never packed my bike into my car to go somewhere unless it was 80 miles away such as when i went on vacation. i have put my car in my wife’s car after hanging out at a bar when we arrived via different modes.
ride the damn bike, thats what its for
pardon?
it was a sincere question. do you (or anyone else) have an answer more constructive than ‘fuck you’?

ha! word.
…and y’all can go fuck off.
Oh yeah, your question. It’s known fact they’re all the strongest riders. Just trying to get a taste of how great that must be. And you know, the zen.
liar!
Anyone who used to mess in the 90’s is obviously a strong rider, and a pretty stand up guy with lots of character. There’s never been a messenger in the history of tarck who was an asshole or couldn’t hack it.
Who wouldn’t want to be like that?
p.s. jamey, I left you a present in the post your favorite song thread. fuck off and die, thanks.
Also when you become a messenger you become inable to make a mistake.
i had a couple friends who did the messenger thing in the late 90’s, but with the beantown winters, it just wasn’t my bag. just never struck me as a job that would attract wannabes.
it wasn’t a dis to any messengers. however if there are any messengers here, they can go fuck themselves.

FUCK YOU!
Way to edit your post.
FUCK YOU!
haha i knew i shouldn’t have made this fucking post.
no, i dont want to just be seen riding a bike. i’ve been commuting 3 years and last year i had the idea to use my store discount on a cheap bike and goddamn it felt great to not have to walk everywhere on campus. 45 minutes in traffic and the last thing i want to fucking do is walk another 15. it’s not like i went out and had to purchase a yakima rack, i just throw it in the truck bed. people bring longboards to school too since they can fit in the trunk. it’s humid as hell and about 96 degrees everyday. and the shuttle is almost always full. fuck walking.
i’m just pointing out that i can’t help but feel a little jackass when i bring the tarckbike to school, even though i have more fun riding it and it gets me around campus quicker. i’m not asking for anyone’s fucking help or a solution, i’m just wondering if anyone ever gets that feeling.
ever watch that chappelle show skit where he avoids eating chicken to prevent looking like a stereotype? then a jew in the audience says he tips twice as much so he doesn’t look like, well, a thrifty jew? yea i was kinda going for one of those but it didn’t work the way i hoped.
drop out of school. move downtown.
