  • You didn't say you were just practising--you said you were doing no-handed trackstands in front of the computer. Your computer is most definitely unimpressed now that the full scale of the deception has been revealed. ;)

    I implied it?

    -___- I lose.

    I'm gonna watch American Chopper now...

  • ...when walking in crowds you think about how much room you need to leave to stop and look over your shoulder to change position

  • ...when you ride into town for a night out, knowing you'll be too shitfaced to cycle home safely, because the prospect of taking the tube instead is just too terrible.

  • ...when you are put into a fixed gear rehab?

    you are fixed gear crazy if you just read that as "fixed gear reh*u*b"

  • Spending way too much time on here..

  • ...when you cycle through the snow....

  • ...when you cycle through the snow....

    Really?
    I was working today, on my bike, in this snow.

  • You can tell the difference between FG and SS by the way it smells.

  • If you flounce off the forum only to be irresistibly drawn back again ...

  • Haha Ollie, taps nose

  • my handle can mean whatever you want it to,

    but its kinda inspired by my avatar:

    i actually had to special order a handle bar bag so a customer could fit his wallet, keys, gloves and 9mm in it. he kept actually taking it out in the store to see if it would fit in different bags....

  • I had a nightmare last night about getting told off by my *cousin *(not sure of the meaning there) for irresponsibly doing irritating skid/skip fixie wheel manouvres in front of cars/their car.

    If thats not fixed gear crazy, dont know what is.

    Emox, I miss my old avatar but I think it just confused people. Do you work in a handbag retailer, in Texas?

  • ...when you look at a bike on the net and you still turn the screen off when yer girlfriand walks in....

    Your country is bonkers. No wonder you're hanging out on a London forum.

  • ...when you ride into town for a night out, knowing you'll be too shitfaced to cycle home safely, because the prospect of taking the tube instead is just too terrible.

    ...when you ride into town for a night out, knowing you'll never be too shitfaced to cycle home safely, because that's always the best part of the night; the roads are quiet, and the alcohol makes you pedal like a demon.

  • ...when ur singing this song in ur head:

  • When you haven't got time to post any intersting comments on here.

  • ...when you look at every single bike on the road, every single bloody one, and are able to see if there is a rear derailleur faster than you would have ever thought possible.

    +1. Beautiful. Still nodding in agreement.

    When you get the distinct feeling that your friends, colleagues etc are deliberately avoiding the subject of bikes, lest they have to put up with your fixed gear repertoire yet again.

    And when you lump all other cyclists together with m*torists as 'just sheeple, really'.

  • Icarus 4 ...when ur singing this song in ur head:

    Or more embarrassingly, when it's Touch Of Evil by Judas Priest - thank you Lucas Brunelle.

  • when every bike you look at you imagined fixed and think, "freewheelin pussy"

  • I have got to a stage where I'm only looking for nice bikes, and trying to judge that, in a flash, in the way Superprecise is quoted spotting the absence of gears. Fixed or gears don't matter. 'Is it a nice bike?' is what matters.

    And 'does it have a kickstand?', obviously.

  • And 'does it have a kickstand?', obviously.

    Crucial. Although technically that should go into a new 'You know you're kickstand crazy when ...' thread.

  • Your country is bonkers. No wonder you're hanging out on a London forum.

    a week ago a 14 year old kid shot a cop in the head two blocks from my old loft. cop lived.

  • he needs a good clip 'round the ear
