I was reminded of that by the many riders in garish clothing and all black bicycles while wearing dark (black lenses) stylish sun glasses while in dense fog that stayed till mid afternoon around these parts. I seemed to be more a fashion adventure than an interesting bike ride. It fits in well with all the cars with four exhaust pipes and shaped chromed trumpets that roar past when there isn't a huge jacked up truck with low cross section tires instead. Where is our society going with all these fashion statements, on the road and in writing? A man walks into a psychiatrist's office with a duck on his head. The psychiatrist asks "What may I do for you?" The duck says "Get this guy off my ass." Thank you. |

well, fashion supports AMuzi et al and Andrew fixs bikes for the
retarded and GOD knows there are more of them than us right ? so what the hey ? The $75 jerseys can be seen as I slide up in muh Ford GT saying a helluva lot more in fashion statement than the touring slobs up here in the NW all in black. Its the Gunbelt Syndrome. Or Wannabe Gunbelt Syndrome..... 95% of those guys ride good or they'd get laughed off the berm. As for wide ranging topic when "how do I remove a DT spoke from my hand" ? posts are meager..well thatsnot so bad is it ? As long as we don't have to watch endless tirades on' the end of civilization as we know it'..... one or two on point is enough once a month. What's in a name right ? Butbutbut I should try Rolloff calling Ert....there are no new posters !!! my dream demon came to me last night suggesting the LBS types had pacted for not discussing LBS type subject material thus eliminating further discussion of why no new posters.... no new posters ? that's nothing wrong with us. we're here and we know it all, right ? and if not we can learn. JB are you asking are people perceptive, aware, conscious, understanding, responsible to the earth..**** JB you're German !!!! |

OK there are two groups, making an intelligent disticntion right ?
one group is intelligent to the level of disposable income, young, athletic, competitive so when the Armstrong effect surfaced these dandies grouped and went out buying new bikes. The new bikes are yet to wear out, the online sheldon brown taught owners are driven to self maintain through group pressure or hire LBS as a greener than thou position. Maybe this group finds appearing hear as mingling with a lesser human form. The other group are riding older bikes, not as intelligent, not as competitive and more or less not online as O-N-L-I-N-E neuronally. What's left ? 15 year olds with computers ! like me !!! |

I think I got the *least* obviously German surname of all the ones in my family, at least in the last few generations...)
