  1. Tell that to Sean Kelly or Bernard Hinault.
  2. No...you wear leather. Which, as previously pointed out...is MUCH more of an expression of homosexuality than wearing spandex is. You need to pay more attention.
  3. Chris Brown has acknowleged.... http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2012/06/25/former-bills-cartoonist-passes/
  4. Only one of the most popular bloggers about cycling at large and in NYC, with a few best-sellling books published. Nah........no credibility.
  5. I blew four lights, flipped off six drivers and slowed down an old lady on her way to Church yesterday. It was a good day. FAN IN DAGO.......this one's for you!!!! http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2009/03/anti-veloism-weird-creepy-bike-hate.html
  6. Whats "weak" is that you took a call for others to have some perspective about the situation and think about their generosity a bit and completely misconstrued it and worse, went partisan. But carry on.....maybe she can clear a cool million. Becuase a child called her fat.
  7. I was all for support. It was heartwarming and a nice thing for folks to do. Its over the top now. Shes banked close to 600K so far and a free vacation becuase a bunch of kids on her bus got mouthy with her (and she did nothing about). Its wonderful that she got some support, but if people right now have a burning need to be generous, there are other places and people that need help A LOT more than this woman. Somewhere right now a Wounded Warrior who did three tours in Mosul is reading the Karen Klein story and thinking to himself "Really???" Its about priorities.
  8. OK, this woman now has close to half a million bucks and a free vacation. I think its safe to say whatever pain and suffering she endured has been compensated for in full. If you still feel you need to give money to a good cause, there are a million charities out there that take care of people who have suffered a lot longer than 15 minutes.

  10. She recevied that through one person who set up a website in support. NOT through organic donations from her PII being posted by anonymous.
  11. I dont care what those kids did. "Outing" minors on the internet with the intent for harm to be brought to them and exposing the personal info of the lady in the video is absolutely vile.
  12. See Big Cat....YOU DESERVED to get hit!!! You probably were 6" into their lane of traffic and didnt come to a complete stop at a stop sign with no traffic around for miles. You need to be sure to yield to cars! You see....those drivers have somewhere to be! And driving a car while jockeying a coffee and answering a text message while going 50 in a 20 is hard to do! But you...Dont you DARE speed on that bike. Bikes and cars? Same thing when they hit something. Same thing. And oh.....dont you DARE roll past that traffic light at 5AM, you scofflaw. And ride on the damned sidewalk....dont you know thats where bikes "belong?" But dont you DARE ride on the sidewalk! And when cars wont yeild to you and drive past you 6" from your shoulder, even when they have TWO other lanes of clear roadway they can slide into, they are teaching you a LESSON! So listen up! And the golden rule.....youre a big sissy in those spandex shorts! Now excuse me while I put on a sports jersey with a 22 year old boy's name on it and pretend Im him while hanging a pair of rubber testicles from my car bumper.
  13. No, they took bicycles, you smug !@#$.
  14. Ah, the usual "might makes right" argument. What are you? Five?
  15. You dont own the roads you !@#$ing !@#$. Good day. GOOD! WRITE THE !@#$ING TICKETS!!!! The more I see morons on two wheels getting reprimanded for bad behavior, the less I have to listen to schmucks like you. It was a hypothetical, dickhead.
  16. Like guzzling a case of cheap beer and eating a buckettful of cheetos while watching men in colorful spandex knickers every Sunday at one and then whining about what you saw, pretending you know better then the head coach, on an internet message board ? A hobby like that? Its called physics, you IDIOT. And what the !@#$ is that shithauling hick doing driving a truckload full of cowshit around so fast that he can barely control his vehicle? Nah...its NOT Farmer Ted in his shitbox Ford with his shitbox overweight trailer with brakes at their wear limits, doing 45 in a 30 while he checks his cellphone for text messages who is the reckless one. Its the two guys on bicycles riding towards the side of the road and had the audacity to blow a stopsign at an empty intersection who are the "dangerous" ones. Give me a !@#$ing break.
  17. No, but Im going about 45 MPH on a carbon fibre pice of machinery with two contact patches about an inch square keeping me planted to the pavement. So there. No, you do not pass on the right. Correct. Hey, PeeWee's Big Adventure is one of my favorite films.
  18. Yeah, all the time...on my bike.
  19. You, in your big F350 cant give a quick toot of the horn and move over a few feet on a wide open country road.... yet the cyclists are the ones being smug and inconsiderate. Good Lord........ By the way...what laws are they not obeying when you roll past them in your hay hauler?
  20. Every one of these items I sided with you. Doublecheck my posts.
  21. Cyclists should never be blowing through lights. At worst they should slow to a standing roll and ONLY if no auto or pedestrian traffic is present, proceed on through. If there is any kind of traffic at all they should come to a full stop and wait for the green. Im well aware of the monkeys who call themselves cyclists who dont have a clue.
  22. Yep. He blew the light with traffic present. Schmuck. m just trying to say that drivers passing cyclists and then making a right in front of them is a dangerous move.
  23. A) Do you ride your car in the shoulder with all the road debris and other stuff there? Why do I have to ride my bike in the shoulder, especially when on some of those downhills on 9W, I can easily be going 30 to 40 MPH? Its not about "giving a damn" its about riding the road properly, as road cyclists have a right to as much as drivers do. Now if I have some clean shoulder space and Im only trucking along at about 19MPH Ill use it. But if the side of the road is a mess and Im on a downhill moving faster, I need to take a piece of road not in the shoulder. B) If you live in North Jersey you should know damn well 9W is a popular cycling route up to Bear Mountain and back. And if so, you should also know that if youre coming up on a pack of riders, a short toot of the horn when youre about 25-50 yards behind them will signal for them to go single file and let you pass. And by all means if they dont move over after you do your part to kindly let them know you want to pass, then tell them to eff off. Dont get me wrong, I know full well 9W can get packed with bikers and some of them dont pay attention. But like I said, do your part to try and be courteous and if they dont heed way, lay on the horn. C) Riding past cyclists and then making a right turn in front of them puts you SQUARELY in the wrong. Its one of the most dangerous moves you can make as a driver.
  24. Most "cycling douches", myself being one of them are actually happy this is going on becuase its bringing the doping issue to light and turning the frauds and cheats into outcasts. VERY few of the dudes in the cycling clubs I belong to are 'sad' that Armstrong, who is is known to be a major league !@#$,is getting his who along with his mentor Chris Carmicheal and Johan Brunyeel, who make up the douchelick trifecta in the cycling world. They were/are basically the 1991 Cowboys of Pro Cycling. That aside, this does seem kind of weird and a strange way to spend energy because the Feds closed their case on Lance a while ago. I think the reason they are going after him again is becuase Lance is looking to race triathlons professionally now and Johan Brunyeel is back running a cycling team, Leopard/RadioShack, which is consdered a powerhouse (although they ave injury issues at the moment). Will be interesting to see where this goes...but I doubt they can take any of his Tour titles away unless they dig up a positive test from one of those races or Lance puts forth an admission. One more thing...its not about the Tour de France. Pro Cyclists race all over the world, and the Tour is just one event, albiet the biggest. LA actually gets a bit of an asterisk on his 7 Tour title streak because its the ONLY race he did all those years, save for a few warm up events. Really, not at all. As far as Pro Cycling goes, country of origin isnt huge when it comes to who to root for. The most popular rider, even here in the states right now is Jens Voigt, a German. But for the USA, there is a whole new crop of exciting riders like Tejay Van Garderen, Tyler Phinney, Ben King and others that are great. Chris Horner, Levi Leipheimer and Dave Zabriskie are very successful and fun to watch, too. They dontt have the same Q factor as LA with the general public, but with cycling fans they are all hugely popular.
