The same idiocy that makes people ride without bar tape/grips?
Probably because they don't like having to carry them around when they are shopping/drinking etc.

^ kinda like the red one, reminds me of a playmobil fire-engine I had as a kid.

Fail.
Valve caps are another one of my issues I'm working through with my therapist.
They are not necessary and serve one purpose - slowing down your tube changes should you p_nct_re. I've NEVER had a presta valve fail. Schraeder, since the valve bit is recessed and they sometimes collect little stones might warrant a valve cap but even then I've had a stuck valve maybe twice in 10+ years riding schraeders.
Say no to valve caps!
Say no to those little thread valve thingies!
Say yes to aligned valves and tyre logos!I managed to destroy a presta valve with my mini handpump, was trying to squeeze that last bit of air in, hand slipped and ripped the valve end off. Never done that with the old style pumps, with screw on adaptor (due to it being impossible).

Is this stuff any good, or just rare?
Is it me, but it looks a lot like lego.

Do you think that mankind is now any more intelligent than it was a thousand years ago?
Pistanator excepted, obviously...People are better educated.
I remember a quote from a palaeontologist that a cavemen (assuming it was a homosapien) would/could have the same IQ as an everyday person now. Same species...same brain, makes sense.

The plot thickens....
I managed to spit my Tea all over the my keyboard, when I saw that.

Most Tuna we get in Britain comes from the indian ocean near africa, thats why the prices are so high - because of somalian pirates.
Are they stealing delicious tuna (the pirates)? Fuckers.

Hitting them where it hurts (the wallet) is the way to go. If everyone bothered doing this rather than saying "HMM, I won't matter" it would actually work, but then most people can't think for themselves.

The degree of shittiness of supermarket bread is too dangerous to be experienced to be believed.
Agreed.

Always loved this one. Proves to me that its the lines and curves of a bike, that make it beautful, more than the colour or finish.
The thing is the more I look at it, the more I like it.

I really like boxing and kickboxing.
I am training twice a week kickboxing (really it's a JKD club), but I wanna get better...not even yellow belt yet (though I think I should be orange now, couldn't go for the grading twice in a row yet :( ).
Fitness was far superior than when I was just cycling to keep fit. Running now, trying to get myself down to lean weight.

repost thought, but I love it, a Peugeot that have been heavily modified that end up looking like a track bike is gonna score high in my bike.
Someone stuck it in the anti-porn section..... very wrong :D
-
Love it used and abused.
EDIT: In fact I fucking love it.

i ride alot at night, as a result i get stopped fairly reguarly for looking suspicious. theres quite alot of pikey kids rolling about at night on bmx's causing trouble, and i think they just put me into the same catagory. ive also RLJ quite a few times and not noticed the presence of a cop car at the lights.
i take one of two routes with coppers, either pretend i didnt know they existed, or be very blunt with them. the classic is the: "where are you going at this time sir?", and me replying: "nowhere, im just riding my bike". they dont seem to know how to respond to this and confounds thier little bacon brains.
Used to get pulled over all the time after finishing at 4am at work. RLJ when there weren't any cars about, Sod off I am waiting for 2 or 3 minutes while the traffic lights change when I can see there ain't anything coming.
-
@lucas - the Peugeot, right?
Yup
-
Seriously I have one and they weren't that great, weighed a ton and the handling was proper sloppy. I am Respraying and rebuilding with slightly newer (but still cheapo kit) for a geared beater.
-
LRAD, does it play Craig David Records.
That I can also honestly say would be enough of an incentive to say fuck it and go home and forget about the protest.
-
^ yeah I know.
If I was pissing off a load of blokes trying to do their job, Quite honestly I would expect the same response.
-
Wait a minute...they were pissing off a load of blokes with a sound weapon? WTF did they expect?
-
COSMIC ... or just heavy booze ...
The aftermath of heavy booze in this case.

They won't be able to make a fast buck, then.
Quite weirdly I was listening to this when I read your comment.

Did anyone used to have "mighty white" bread when they were a kid? Was kinda like granary but white, was really nice.

Nice work, one of the few road bikes with bullhorns that actually looks good.

Hate things breaking when you need them most.
Wanky Exam Questions about stuff that wasn't really discussed that much during seminars or lectures, but is soo fucking obvious there isn't really that much to discuss.
"How does Technical Review and Testing differ in the types of software faults they detect?" ....
One finds faults in running software and the other one doesn't ... somehow that ain't going to get me 50 marks.
