boyst Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I know one. She's mid to late 20's. I even offered her to drive my car one time and she wouldn't, because she doesn't have a license and has never "learned" to drive. Let me guess. Has a basket on the bike, doesn't shave her legs, prefers herbal shampoos and does not do the whole popular scene. thanks to Lance Armstrong, there are legions of bicyclists here in Austin, both the hipster type and the spandex-clad, Armstrong wannabes. and now they're all up in arms over joggers in the bicycle lanes. since cyclists are always hogging the roads here, I find the irony of that to be especially sweet. I am more tolerant of the hipster bikers then the spandex bikers. The hipsters might fuss or bark but they won't get all uppity or arrogant the same way spandex folks will. I hope everyone realizes that I am not talking about all the bicyclists, just a select large proportion.
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) My guess is she grew up in NYC - - good mass transit coverage and not much parking. Edited January 29, 2014 by ICanSleepWhenI'mDead
Just Jack Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Let me guess. Has a basket on the bike, doesn't shave her legs, prefers herbal shampoos and does not do the whole popular scene. Uhhh, no. She could be her own "would ya" thread. This is her in the green... My guess is she grew up in NYC - - good mass transit coverage and not much parking. North of it, in the West Point area.
boyst Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Uhhh, no. She could be her own "would ya" thread. This is her in the green... Yes. but...The one in the middle is the hottest.
DC Tom Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Uhhh, no. She could be her own "would ya" thread. This is her in the green... North of it, in the West Point area. The one in white's kinda cute.
shrader Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I saw what had to be the dumbest move I've ever seen by someone on a bike this morning. I was driving through a green light (at maybe 25-30 MPH) and this 20-something idiot on a bike was riding up the side street. He took the right turn at full speed right out in front of me all while riding without his hands on the handle bars. So of course it was a ridiculously wide turn. I was on a 4 lane road and luckily no one was next to me or else I would have had no choice but to hit him. I can't even imagine how stupid you have to be to ride like that out into traffic.

Question. Why did you swerve? Had you not you would have earned your gold bicycle pin. Money well spent. God I hate the way they spend our money. "This bridge has always been about access for all kinds of travel modes, not just automobiles," he said. "And if we were going to get cars on the bridge by Labor Day, then why shouldn't we get bikers and walkers on at the same time?" Of course. This makes sense. We have to be fair after all. And here's the thing. This allows folks to bike to and from Oakland and Treasure Island. It doesn't get them to the city. And BTW there is really nothing on TI.
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Money well spent. Ha! Not even past pic #1, check it out, there's always gotta be one douchebag on a recumbent... ;-) ;-)
shrader Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Question. Why did you swerve? Had you not you would have earned your gold bicycle pin. Next time maybe.
Chef Jim Posted April 11, 2014 Author Posted April 11, 2014 Next time maybe. Not to worry. You'll have plenty more opportunities.
BuffaloBud Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I hate to bring up the stupid stuff that I've seen motorcyclists do lately.

Keukasmallies Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 One of the all-time spandex biker spotting locations in the US is on the short street in front of the Biltmore and running along the ocean in Montecito, CA. Spandex bikers, cell phones, plus conversations with biker buddies. So very very de rigueur Oh yeah, don't expect to drive a car anywhere close to the pack of 'em..

boyst Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Hmmm, I see a road trip in my future. visit me? i'm only 90 minutes away.
Maury Ballstein Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Good for the bus driver. Bike drivers are out of control. So I'm driving down the street. Everyone's going super slow as biker in Bane mask slows traffic while everyone tries to pass. Eventually pass Bane then get to next stoplight here comes Bane again, he passes through everyone sitting at red light then gets to the front and slows down everyone for a second time. What a tool. We need that bus driver in va beach.
