Just thought I'd get all of the hot-button topics in one thread. Plus a pic!

Even tattoo ink couldn't get under my skin any worse than a flipper helmet fixed on a hipster.

I'm sure you could have also worked in how Bike Snob is the funniest comic writer ever.

Shoot - and I was certain it was those helmetless hipster fixie flippers taking their grinders to a Rivendell whilst drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon next to their tattooed girlfriend, passing enough methane gas that the A&S forum started a thread to complain about the additional ozone layer damage.

But I think they were using their grinders to remove the double top tube, so that's okay.

You forgot:
Stiffer frames are faster
Wearing earbuds
Index over friction
Bike lanes/no bike lanes
Tubular vs. clincher
And btw, I like pie.

If it weren't for bike-ignorant hipster kids with their meshback hats and their skinny jeans and their privileged upbringings and their trust funds, I'd have a lot less work on my hands. I just wish I could take their money without having to talk to them.

That poor cat toed up with a polyester lease while his fixie owner went off to the tattoo parlor. Everyone knows it should be a tweed lease,and double stranded. Poor cat must be humiliated.

What's the problem with Rivendell parts, besides the fact that Rivendell usurped a perfectly good name from Tolkien?
There's a hipster/fixie guy who shows up at the train station on my run home. His ultramodern bike has white 5-spoke wheels. He spends the waiting time doing track stands and riding backwards around the parking lot. The other day he showed up with a different bike, pretty spiffy but obviously not as fancy. I mean, the wheels were, like, spoked, you know? How old-fashioned is that? I said "You've got a different bike today." He said "This is my rain bike."<Conversation terminated by server.>
