The 'Fakenger' thing

I wear the fakenger tag with pride!

I deliver myself to my office.. does that gain or lose me fakenger points?

Object17 What is the definitive fakenger?
A person with a fixie, pierced/tattooed, carrying a messanger bag, who tends to wear jeans and a vest\t-shirt to cycle in?

yes!

That's my status confirmed then.

I wear jeans on my bike because everyone on the planet and his sister wear jeans. I roll them, up because I don't want to get them in the drive train and do the whole "braking with my face" thing when I go over the bars.

It's all like Soldiers getting pissed of at Hikers because they wear boots too.

Yeah jeans are a useful fashion accessory- as are my ebay found wool knickebockers (yet to arrive!)

I still love Black Bob Jacksons!

But I couldn't eat more than one.[/quote]

I couldn't afford more than one to eat- on that note anyone know of a good lock?[/quote]
hence the old saying, 'you can't eat your bob jackson and have it'.

Has anyone been to HH track for training- can you just turn up and ride?

you have to go to the induction session at the godawful time of 9 o'clock saturday morning. Thankfully you only have to do this once - after that you can turn up any time between 10 ish and 12:30 on saturday and join in the fun/pain depending on how fit you are.

Don't know if this is relevant, but 'bout a month ago I was walking past the tate modern with a friend and my fix, saw two Eastern European couriers chatting. Eying up their machines, I said "nice bikes". They replied "yours is shit". That wasn't very nice so I shouted "your mum was shit" and carried on walking...

sounds like a punch in the head wouldn't go amiss

haaaa

will fakengers ever learn not to be offended by genuine couriers "sense of humour"?

it's how they talk to each other....so should be adopted by all jean-wearing, fixed wheel enthusiasts.

it's not a good idea to say "nice bike" to anyone.

i live with a few people with the same sense of humor,
fucking cracks me up,
some peopl dont think so though hahah

'you mum was shit' was probably the perfect response :)

How do you know for sure.. with their accents they could've said "your bike is the fscking bomb dude!!! Where can I get one like that?!?!?"

When are we going to start racing for bike 'pink slips'??? That's what I wanna know.

Lose a race, lose your bike to the winner. Sweet!

you've got enough bikes already!

There is no such thing as 'enough' when it comes to bikes. You know the rules!

n+1 baby, n+1!!!!!

thinking too much about the way you look....
being obsessed with aesthetics and making things look pretty...
spending most of your spare time on male-only internet chat-sites
spending the rest of it....in the real world.... hanging out with your male "mates"
thinking up apparently "casual" reasons to hook-up with said "mates" (polo, bike rides, hanging round in bars full of MEN!!)

Now that is GAY!

Ouch. Busted! Can I wear my pink shirt now?
