Additional to yesterday’s submit, a reader forwarded me this video of the World’s Worst Bicyclist:
He makes Singing Bike Lane Man Who Hit A Little Woman appear endearing as compared:
Truly, that’s not true, they’re each horrible.
I’ve made loads of enjoyable of Lucas Brunelle through the years, however I’ll take him over these two any day:
That’s a hell of a title, I gotta hand it to him.
As for me, I are typically extra cooperative with previous age than Mr. Brunelle, and I’m not a lot “Finger Fucking Demise’s Clit” as I’m tickling the taint of center age. After all, so as to take action you want the suitable bike, and I’m happy to announce the crown jewel of my taint-tickling fleet has formally turned two years previous!
Sadly, I don’t assume Rivendell might be incorporating “taint-tickler” into their copy for the A. Homer Hilsen, although it’s an ideal supply of delight for me that they did use my evocative description of its experience high quality:
Whereas my Jones LWB (and the Marin Pine Mountain that preceded it) helped set me on a much less Fredly and extra rambling path, the Homer is the bike that actually carried me throughout the retrogrouchical Rubicon; my clipless pedal use dropped off precipitously, as did my grooming. Actually not everyone’s able to be liberated from the deceptively stretchy-yet-secure bounds of Lycra, so caveat emptor, however in my case I’d say extraction was lengthy overdue. I’ve additionally modified virtually nothing concerning the bike since taking supply of it, save for including an adjunct right here and there, altering the tires, and including the rapid-rise derailleur Grant Petersen despatched me:
So far as stuff I would change, there’s not a lot, but when I had been ever to dispense with my highway bike altogether (which I don’t assume I might), I may see becoming it with drop bars and including a big ring to the crank in some unspecified time in the future. Nevertheless, I discover the present bars extraordinarily snug, and so they supply loads of hand positions, so I don’t see it taking place anytime quickly:
They’re even good for climbing when you grip them on the bend and forward of the brake levers, which is necessary if you’re conquering the mighty peaks of Yonkers:
Be aware the commanding view of the Palisades:
In the meantime, in what I can solely assume is an indication, not too lengthy after expressing a need for an inexpensive small-displacement bike did I move the smoldering stays of 1:
Judging from the odor of issues I believe the conflagration had taken place within the wee hours of the morning, and judging from the motor that’s just about precisely the bike I discussed in my submit:
Then once more, it’s not essentially an indication–I imply by that logic I ought to by no means experience a Citi Bike once more, both:
Trashed Citi Bikes aren’t uncommon round these elements, however this was the scene of a double homicide:
Sure boutique fashions apart, when was the final time you even noticed a damaged crank arm?
There’s a high quality line between vandalism and Bike Kill:
I assume the distinction is whether or not or not it’s hipsters doing it:
I do know the place they will discover a couple of extra Citi Bikes.
