Flop, Flop, then Chop…Its a Flop!

Category: Bike BlogJohnny @ 9:17 am

If you’re like me, and I know you are, at least one in the herd is an old 10 speed with a fixed drivetrain and some kind of unconventional bars.  We do it because we have to, in case we ever have to ride in an ad-hoc alleycat or for a night on the town.

But we know our limits.  We don’t deliver items for pay via bicycle.  We transport our bicycles on our roof/hitch racks.  We are mountain bikers.

Many, however, in our beloved 940 are not like us, and for that alone we they do not deserve our respect.  Chuck is one of those unfortunate many (formerly few).

The fact that this poor sap could afford rattle can spray paint and a light braze-on for this bicycle but was unable to budget for a $15 package of bar tape from The Bicycle Path is neither here nor there. 

Look at those bars!  Just look at how sad they are all wrong and down and such.  This is a bigger atrocity than wrongboards coming to 940.

He apprears to live over by Doran…over on the “east side” of the county seat.  If you see him around, please, do the right thing and tell him to get off my lawn!

This flop, flop & chop clearly is a flop.

xoxo,

Johnny
