just admit it guys. it's a huge social phenomenon. Many of you have watched it happen over the past 6 years, as I have. I don't care, and in fact i love it. Keeps us healthy. Keeps us agile and mobile. Good for community. Makes so much sense in the city. And it IS stylish. I fucking love style. All great!!! But I have to laugh though when i see tricks on 700c bikes though. Much like i laugh when i blow by some dude on a BMX spinning down the main drag miles from anywhere. It's just a complete joke. It's like humping in the front seat of a car. Never really works.
pick the right tool for the job. I'm not going to ski pow in my volkl GS skis. I'm not going to rip corduroy in my moment donner partys.
