Tall Bikes!



Do you have these in your town yet?

"Yeah, it's really hard to get up on, and to get off of, and my center of gravity is now 6 feet tall, so it's totally less safe, but now I can cry out for attention while in transit."

Portland hipsters have evolved so far that you see people riding around on children's BMX bikes, with the most smug, disaffected looks on their faces. It's baffling. You're really stickin' it to the man, riding around on that pink Huffy, pal.

You don't travel to Greenwich Village much do you? That IS still in New York. If you're going to try and act like you live somewhere tough then perhaps you ought to at least know something about it.

You ignorant donkey-licking-hipster-bad-ass wannabe, if you ever had a clue about anything, you probably fucked it and ate it afterwards.

Please, if something weird, strange stupid, assinine or just plain dumb exists, it is IN New York City somewhere.

Just to add....that guy. Ugh..I've seen that guy many places. I've talked to that guy at many parties. He was a nerd. An ugly nerd. So he tried to go hipster in order to replace his lack of personality, maybe even making him appear "edgy".

Rather than "edgy", he came out just looking like arrogant nerd. There is nothing worse than an arrogant nerd.

I bet I can multiply in my head higher than you, out recruit you in TCY, and put more pens in my pocket.

I am talking about a shirt pocket. I sometimes I leave words or letters out. I do, really I do.

I left out the letter i in that statement not the word shirt.

I guess you knew that because your talking about getting together blindfolded and playing a game. And I'm not even going to mention your last statement.

Not sure what yer on about, there is no one named Hell Atlantic to post anything. There's just some dweeb named Anthony.

I don't need to insult where you live, your existence is proof enough that something went horribly wrong in the gene pool down there. I suspect inbreeding.

The very idea that anyone would want to BE you disgusts me beyond words. Well, most words anyway.

Its not that I even try to find things that you post to respond to, its the sheer massive amount of utter bullshit you spew with no ability to even cover up the fact that its total bullshit that lends itself to easy pickings.

You make a blanket statement that "this doesn't exist in NYC". You know you're wrong and sound like a fascist fucktard, yet you think no one should call you on your ignorance? Please. Grow a pair and admit you're just an idiot and said something stupid for a change.

And for the record I've been to NYC a few times, never found anything worth praising or staying for. If I wasn't being assaulted by beggers or muggers I was being raped by hotel managers for the piss poor excuses for rooms at the prices they charged.

NYC has a few brights spots. Lady Liberty, the US Tennis Center, and the skyline at sunset is a pleasent view.

However the rest is pretty much a cesspool. Honestly I wouldn't care if it didn't suck the life out of the rest of the state.

Anthony,

I'm sure that we can agree that there are not a lot of people in NYC riding bikes like that. But, really, you want to put your name behind the statement that no one in NYC rides, or has recently ridden, a bike like that? Not smart. I mean, one of the signature stupid bike companies in the country is based in NYC. It defies logic to beleive you.

You can do better than that.

I have a Star Wars room upstairs, Lord of the Rings collection downstairs and D&D collection in the basement.

Sadly enough... I am not joking.

I have no tall bike and will never travel to NYC so, I will not be raped or beaten up so, that is one thing I have going for me.
