You know, those little ones that go 'ding!' and make other cute sounds totally inaudible in actual traffic. I find angry yelling works best.

I am always down for drunken late-night bike rides.

I google'd now I know what you speak of.

As much as I hate bells, I did just order two (well, one's a horn) for my bike shop that I'm excited about:

those are great.

i'm totally gettin the sumo.

I am really excited about this move. I actually want to move as soon as i can. but rather save some money and move in july/august.

I'll give you a special "chick I speak to on an internet message board" discount.

Definitely save money. Besides, you won't miss much in the winter. Brooklyn is its best in the summer and fall.

brooklyn is bangin in the wintertime

Yeah, I will definitely do that.

How so?

i just love new york in the winter. so much.

brooklyn is where me and my friends play in the street.

i like brooklyn the best in the summer. nyc winters are really painful. too windy. it hurts my skin and bones.

Ah, I was never a big winter person. Although part of that is probably due to a lifetime of being underdressed. No joke, I didn't have a real jacket until last year. Went most years without a hat or gloves. All I ever own is holey Converse, so when it snows my feet get soaked. I actually went a winter at the age of 15 with nothing but a windbreaker. I'm an asshole.

I also promised myself I'd have proper winter biking gear this year (like, real gloves instead of the $1 work gloves you get at bodegas that are dipped in red latex on one side), a hat, and a face mask. Also maybe warm shoes.

face masks really do help keep ya warm. plus, they look badass.

i have so many facemasks, and i live in south georgia

I'm thinking of getting one of those full-on pull-over ones that covers my head too. A year or so ago I borrowed a Puerto Rican flag bandana from a friend to protect my face with while biking home. Since I was completely bundled up, everyone thought I was Puerto Rican. And they were way friendlier with me.

We're talking wintertime ones, not sexy-time ones made of the faces of actual women.

Haha, where the hell in Brooklyn are yah if you don't mind me asking?

Sunset Park. Grew up in the Kensington area. Well, at the border. I was technically in Windsor Terrace on 20th St. parallel to McDonald Avenue., a block away from the cemetery. I'm a block away from the cemetery now too, just from the south this time.
