cycling LOLz

I found myself agreeing with pretty much everything he says. I'm all about big obvious hand signals, stopping at lights and rolling stops at stops signs, no pavement riding and the like.

yeah, i'm with most of that article. it takes a lot of willpower to stop at lights, but i've always been about signaled movements (tho usually directed at specific vehicles, like "i'm going right there, where i'm pointing" and not generic sticking my arm out business) and have def chewed ppl out that ride their bikes on the sidewalk (tho not as often as warranted...most of the kids in my CHI neighborhood riding on teh sidewalk were pairs of 17 year-olds on BMX bikes that i didn't really feel like confronting)

Stopping at lights is my LEAST likely directive from that article, but sidewalk riding is like pain-of-death stuff, isn't it?? Only babies and the occasional delivery guy should ever be on the sidewalk!

not a LOL, but this is where we post misc cycling links it seems

btw i would like to point out that 4% of mpls commutes by bike

4%!!!!

i mean, 3.8 but whatever

mpls has always been poppin wrt bikes tho, at least afaik. is good surprised at this?

4% is pretty awesome.

went on an awesome night ride thru mpls parks last night with a bunch of other cyclists

there's so many trails here it's ridiculous---i'm only beginning to realize this. like, if i actually had a mtb, there's miles and miles of singletrack in the city limits, and within a 15 min ride

Was cycling home from work through Hyde Park. Struggling up the incline that runs alongside Rotten Row, face like a big pink ham, hulking desperately over his handlebars, slugging away at the pedals like a heavyweight boxer on the ropes, in a completely unsuitable thick blazer...

Andrew Neil!

'Come on! Knees up, Brillo you old cvnt!' was what I wanted to shout, but sadly I was past him before I could do anything other than grin like an idiot.

I don't think he would have noticed tbh. He didn't seem aware of much going on around him. Eyes fixed sightlessly on the tarmac in front of his front tyre, mouth agape.

Well, we've all been there, I suppose.

i met b1k3sn0b on sunday

took a picture of him without him knowing it too

For the first time in Philadelphia history, the women's peloton has passed the men! The men's peloton was neutralized to let the women go by. Things could get very confusing if the men happen to speed up, which will force the women's race to be neutralized in return.

thx for playin, philly

What's "share the road" all about? Not heard it over here.

it is what self-righteous cyclists yell

in america

or pay extra to get on their license plates

really mark? they are common signs around here:

on some mtn roads around here they may have shotgun marks

cars share the road with lightcycles

ok so there's this dude who i always see riding this bike around silver lake, and i don't know what it is, but it's a three-wheeler, he's standing on it, and it seems to be propelled by twisting the front wheel back and forth. anyway, it moves about 2 mph as far as i can tell and looks ridiculous. what the hell is it?

i think i saw a commercial for one of those on a late night infomercial...

saw one of those the other day.

?

that's exactly it.

dude at work brought one of those in awhile back. they're ridiculously stupid

i've seen this dude multiple times while running around the lake and he's got to walk it up every gentle slope, as far as i can tell.

They are the most annoying things ever. Used to see a guy ride one on Milwaukee ave in Chicago in the bike lane, swerving back and forth at drivers. So stupid
