Well the bike is trashed anyway. Tires deteriorated, rust everywhere and stuff. So many parts should be replaced by now and the frame is wrong size for me anyway. I don't care.

Me about to go down a bridge


 

Going downhill

I enjoy the shit out of mountain bicking. I rode with a crew in Miami WWW.Dirtdogs.org Oleta state park has good intermidiate trails & Markhum park is downright scary. I hope to hit trails here in Ky but, I know I'll get some major downhill drops out here. I've had all kinda shit happend once I was riding without a helmet and I almost ran into a tree faceplant but I put my forearm and that braced my face, I've gone over the handle bars pleanty & I've been stabbed by the front gear in the back of my calf. Still love it !!!

I have a 98 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo e Koo. I ride about 30 miles a day when the weather is nice. I try to commute to work as much as possible but the combination of weather, crazy drivers and me not being a morning person limits that.

yeah ive heard about that in new york

here we have a group of like 15-20, our only trouble is other cars trying to pass and then yelling at us and shit. people here are jackasses

golden child 03.28.2006 08:44 PM
im pretty surprised i havent been hit, when i ride on the street cars go by and say GET ON THE SIDEWALK WHERE YOU BELONG and then speed past me in the median of the road between me and the other lane. its crazy, cars think they own the road

raycharlescansee 03.28.2006 08:53 PM
I've been hit twice in the last year while riding my bike to work. People have no respect for bikes.

SKATEBOARDING! much cooler

marleypumpkin 03.28.2006 09:29 PM
Ah, no. Skateboarding has always been cooler than bike riding. That's just the way it is. Deal w/ it.

chabib 03.28.2006 09:33 PM
watch some of this guy's alleycat race videos.
http://www.digave.com/videos/

monstertrack, rumble thru the bronx, drag race, etc. he's shot some great stuff.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 03.28.2006 09:35 PM
I love biking but not as much as walking, eccept for it being faster. Riding around here though sucks. Drivers have no respect for people on bikes.

Has anyone seen "the Collective" DVD. It's more of a film than a bike video. They did a really great job. Check it out if you get a chance.
