And some of you will die.
If you’re like me, and I know you are, you like a good urban ride every now and then. Of course, we’re not talking about last Tuesday’s ride that our own Keith and Go:ahead attended simply to impress the ladies.
Go:ahead says, “went last night for the first time, ran into keith there (not literally) but for the most part i was riding with my roommate who just got herself a peuguot (sp?). what a shit fest. it was a good thing i already had several tecate in me, the stress of riding with 60+ kids most of whom didn’t have blinkies was almost too much to bear. it was one hell of a social and i spread the good word of 32teeth, however i wont be going again until i find a rack-mountable cooler to help keep my sanity.”
Then Keith later says, “yep this is one fucked up ride man, I was joking about PR, daniel the guy I ride that with and I are only out there looking at ass… Its kinda dangerous and I dont like a lot of the stuff they do. In fact I locked my brakes up a few times because these kids dont know how to ride in packs, so they randomly just turn and cut you off when your going faster then they are. Also Katie the chick that used to work at the shop says that I was a dick running stop signs and cutting people off… not sure how I do this, when the entire mass never stops because of fixie road blocks and me and the other guy are the only ones that knew how to ride… period! We ride our mtbs because its a slow ride. Anyhow thats some of my thoughts on it.”
Whoa, there, boys. Good rendition of some obvious ridiculousness. Take pictures next time. We all love to laugh at those less fortunate.
On another urban cycling note, thank you, Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post, for summing-up our culture and way-of-life so beautifully. Its hard to imagine a media outlet that he can’t fuck up.
Well, I hope you all humped the shit out of Wednesday in more ways than one. Tomorrow we ride, the next day we drink, and then we ride again. Can life get any better brothers and sisters?
So, in light of Devin’s recent video posts, I’ll leave you with a video of my only 2 brothers-in-law shooting none other than the Kalashnikov 1947, known to you and I as the AK-47. Myself, I have shot paper terrorists at the same gunrange, firing the same weapon, behind my brother-in-law’s Helena, MT house, and I can attest, that we killed them until they died from it.
The bald, bearded one is my wife’s eldest brother, Drew. The filmmaker/director, Baxter, is my wife’s younger older brother and will be staying with us through the weekend.
I truly hope you enjoy this film and others that Baxter has filmed.
xoxo,
Johnny
