Also, and I know it's your hobby Japan, but I find cyclists to have the highest percentage of douchebags to regular people out of any hobby group. That includes MMO players. The number of cyclists I've ran across who are just raging cocks is far more than anyone else.
The packs of them racing along streets and blowing through every stop sign and red light are the worst. Hey, dickheads, if you want to be respected on the roads like a car, then follow the laws like a car.
Oh god I see this in Boston all the time. I watched a woman on a bike blow through a red light and almost get taken out by a car. I was completely disappointed that she wasn't hit.

Bunch of asshole kids on bikes were swerving around in the road yesterday. My stance was "You want to ride in the middle of the wrong side of the road? Fine, I'll play chicken."
I have a burning hatred for hipster dickheads on fixed gears on the roads.
Not that all fixed riders are necessarily dickheads, but dickheads invariably seem to ride fixed gears.
Why do hipsters like fixed gear bikes?
Cycle couriers are hipster icons for some reason, and a lot of couriers ride fixed gears (although they usually also have brakes, because they aren't dickheads) because there is nothing that can go wrong that will immo bar a broken chain or a puncture, both of which are quick fixes. They're basically indestructible.

I feel so sick. I was out in that torrential rain in NYC on Tuesday - I walked for about 10 blocks with no umbrella - and now I feel like I have pneumonia or something.

Why do hipsters like fixed gear bikes?
Well, fixed gear bikes became a big thing amongst bike messengers, since they're light and don't need much maintenance.
Since there's more than a little crossover between the bike messenger crowd and the general hipster crowd, fixed gear bikes became the general hipster bike of choice through osmosis.
I made a [chat] five days away from turning 30. I've peaked.

I kind of want to carry around a briefcase with taco's in it.
This is so inspired.
It'd be like the Iron Man suit briefcase
only more delicious
I just saw this gentleman walk into the library with a briefcase, and all i could think about is "I wish he had like, some taco's in there. Maybe he'd share some with me..."
I would love to walk into someplace in a full tux suit, dark shades, slicked hair, with a large fancy metal briefcase
walk up to a counter or table, unlock the briefcase and open it
to reveal a carefully organized and segmented taco creation case, with small compartments of lettuce, tomato, filling, sauce, and a single carefully protected shell and a single white napkin
Guys, help me: which Tom Clancy novel starts with Jack Ryan saving the life of one of the Princes of England? Like, some IRA douches are trying to kill half the royal family.
why would individual retirement account managers want to kill the royal family

The UK is presently afflicted with the rise of the insufferable helmet camera cyclist.
A lot of commuters started riding with helmet cams because of the difficulty in successfully pursuing claims in the event of being knocked off, and the unwillingness of the police to prosecute drivers on the basis of a single witness testimony.
This has led to the generation of hundreds of hours of youtube footage of imagined slights and passionate defence of what said riders believe the law to be.

Do you guys have the packs of spandex-clad type-A yuppies on their $2000+ bikes who all seem to be fantasizing about being Lance Armstrong?
My wife's theory is that those guys were all dorks in high school who are now trying to be all cool and athletic. But they're afraid to actually play any sport where they might get dirty or banged up.

You could say much the same about golf.
Yeah, but golfers have the decency to play their sport on a golf course, rather than on city streets.

The first day of the new forums I bookmarked like 4 threads at work. I don't get any reception in my office so I didn't realize I was getting so many e-mails, and then when I got home and discovered the hundreds of e-mails I was receiving I couldn't actually log into the forums anymore to un-bookmark the threads or disable e-mail notifications.
