For Your Friday Entertainment

The New York Times offers us a "Field Guide to the New York City Cyclist." I especially like the Pinarello. And the Schwinn, though the black bars so do not match the look.

Clicky to Watch the Slide Show.

The Pinarello, yes, I NEED one.

How well it would go with the red trousers of the chap in the first picture….or on second thoughts, perhaps not.

"Biking these days is a statement. … Don’t be afraid to wear a skirt and heels." - hm, this was my philosophy at university. Stiletto slipping off pedal while going over steep crowed bridges at high speed was all bad. I once also embarrassed myself in front of my date for the evening by not being able to get onto my bike in the skirt I was wearing. There was a most inelegant scene. Me, I prefer comfort nowadays!

lol, yeah

There are limits. And if you are going to wear a skirt on the bike, do be sure that your undies match, as they will almost certainly be in public view at some point or another ;-)

But that's why men invented skirts :(

And I love the part

"It’s a sexy bike. I was riding with a couple of racers this weekend on a charity ride, and they remembered my bike from a year ago. They didn’t remember me, but they remembered the bike."

Makes sense to me! :-)))

Hi, everyone. I have to re-post the

link to this youtubery, as I don’t think enough people saw it when I posted in in the Anti-dopage thread a few days ago. It’s worthy of Friday viewing…

dali meets shoppage.

Hey Gav!

Those all are awesome. I couldn’t make a choice on my favorite. The Dali one is cool, and that would be a fun gondola ride in Venice.

by Veloki on Oct 10, 2008 1:08 PM EDT up 0 recs

lol, yeah

these are really fun. i’m sad, cuz this is the last month they’re doing it.

Gosh that's a serious heart in mouth moment with the lorries!

Impressive but what an idiot!

by Albertina on Oct 10, 2008 3:05 PM EDT up 0 recs

Luckily it's only animated (:

I can't believe those truckers.

Who do they think they are, from Smoky and the Bandit?

by brunopitton on Oct 10, 2008 3:23 PM EDT up 0 recs

Must... not... say...

what I’m really thinking…

“That rider was irresponsible, and I think we should all respect the law.” As far as you know, that was my impression of the video.

You need to spend a few hours

playing GTA: San Andreas. that’ll teach you how to ride BMX on the freeway. Responsibly.

by Monty. on Oct 10, 2008 4:31 PM EDT up 0 recs

Thank you

Yes. As long as I can learn to do this… responsibly. That is the best way.

I thought you'd like it. I posted this first in the AntiDope thread, when you

revealed your Canadian forays for beer! Though, y’know, I’m aware the geography does not compute. :-)

Ah...

I need to double back to prior threads more. It’s hard to keep up around here nowadays. Maybe I can find a way to filter out all the comments related to chocolate and that horse-man stuff, and just read what’s left, it’d be manageable. Not that there’s anything wrong with chocolate horse-men.
