Thursday at 7:30 works for me. But I'm in SF for the weekend.

im in.

The best part is that the photo of you in a wife beater clapping your hands (or something?) is right next to your post in my current view. And I envision you making that statement about Jews in that accent you do.

Sweet, I can be at your place by 8. I'll just join in when I get there.

i think it will be perfect. there is even covered area in case its raining!

awesome. ok well whoever wants to show up Thursday should...show up at some point. I dont know...if you wanna chill with me beforehand i'll be around. On 13th between Tillamook and Thompson. whisper and ill shoot you my number.

Sean you going to come and help show us kiddies what to do?

i got work until 8, then i gots to ride home and watch the office and lost, i love tv

Yeah, I'll be there by 7:30ish. If anyone wants to ride over there from downtown at that time, let me know.

when i got home today i pounded some joo-er...juice

slept for an hour

now i can't sleep and my stomaches all talkin bout how its this and its that

I just got a new bike. Its a pinky Huffy. Seriously. Im stoked and ashamed.

Haha

(Its for zoobomb)

zoobomb confession.

when I lived at the portland towers (21st/salmon) where the zoobombers blow through the stops signs, I would throw water balloons at them from my 10th floor window. they were loud and i was annoyed, what?

STINE:

i also have a problem maintaining my optimism for the so called "fixed" culture, affectionately referred to as the fixies, yet i feel that i inevitably fall close if not in to this group of people just by age and association.

Fair enough. However, it would be wrong to assume the "fixed culture" will last forever, as the only thing consistent is change. Someday there will be a new hip thing that people will latch onto and build a subculture around, which begs the question: Are you in it because you like to ride or because you like the look? Well, I guess it's time for my confession... For me, it's about 70/30 (respectively). Will I keep riding after what BSNYC refers to as the "Fixed-gear Apocalypse"? We'll see. If I had to guess... I'd say probably not. But that will likely be more of a correlation as opposed to direct causation, as by that time I'll probably be in a wheelchair due to my arrant disregard for the laws of physics. Then, maybe I'll switch out the factory wheels with HED 3s, remove the brakes, and take it for a spin around Alpenrose; wheelchairs don't coast, so that makes them "fixed," right?

when this change happens and people stop riding for the culture that it has become, it will be good.

and don't wait till you are in a wheel chair to "spin around alpenrose"

dude, amen to that.
as much as we criticize the people who jump on bikes for sinister reasons, many of them actually do stick with it, which makes me smile, and hopefully others as well. For whatever reasons, bikes are fun, and they're an AMAZING way to meet new people, whom you might not have considered talking to before. i feel like i'm just reiterating.

I have an obsession with JennX, I stalk her, actually. Ask her about it.

I am not as much of an asshole as I come off as, and if you are my friend, I most definitely have your back.

people who i like and/or tip me get significantly better coffee

Max is NOW!:

I just ate shit turning too sharp on SE 11th and Salmon.

Damn. You okay?

Water and duct tape. S'all ya needz

i'm afraid of dogs when i'm biking and they're off-leash. and sort of in general.

[quote][cite] Jennx:[/cite]a couple years back i wiped out on the street car tracks on tenth going to work (when i worked at roccos) totally slid into the side of a lexus, this group of old people just stood there open mouthed it was funny, got up and took back off hhaha.[/quote]

awesome

a few years ago i was riding to my girlfriend's house on my lowrider (!!), completely tanked. i was hauling ass down a hill and sideswiped a parked car. i somehow managed to not wipe out and continued on my way.

[quote][cite] Jennx:[/cite]i now have a huuuuuuuuuugeeeeeeee fear of cars coming out of parking lots. i tense up really bad and my heart rate goes way up[/quote]

that's a good fear to have

i'm extremely paranoid of riding in cars to the point of near panic

after what happened yes, i always had it but it turned it 3940284320984209x worse

i go into the trader joes that's by my work cause I have a crush on someone there hahaha.

that i love keven for finding my debit card and sparing me of a crazy freakout.

(i drive stick also i know what you mean.)

i'm not paranoid of being in a car if i'm the one driving.
i've "owned" 7 cars (the last one was 9 years ago) and i've never had a license.
