(OT) Cycling…
do any of you do it? what style of bike do you have? im in the process of selling my saracen hard tail mountain bike that ive hardly used i must confess and am buying a Felt qx75 hybrid bike to use to get back and too to work…anyone have a felt? im gettin it half the retail price as its the 2010 model which doesnt bother me, its brand new from the shop tho with the usual 12 months guarantee
This is my fixie. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My fixie is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My fixie, without me, is useless. Without my fixie, I am useless. I must ride my fixie true. I must go faster than my enemy who is trying to outdistance me. I must outdistance him before he outdistances me. I will…
My fixie and myself know that what counts in this war is not the miles we ride, the noise of the noise of angry car drivers yelling at us, nor the skitmarks we leave on the streets. We know that it is the final destination that count. We will arrive…
My fixie is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its crankset. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my fixie clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before God, I swear this creed. My fixie and myself are the defenders of my streets. We are the masters of my enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until the streets are ours and there is no single car left, but peace!
wtf?? pmsl
Started mountain biking this year, trying to get in shape!
Been going Cannock Chase and went Llandegla in Wales a few weeks ago
Got a Specialized Rockhopper 2010, now i want a full suspension though
i was riding downhill and freeride for some years. owned a nice chacka fully and a steppenwolf hardtail with a marzzochi shiver upside down.
now i´m riding a 1982 diamant track frame (gdr cycle company) for some years. i will never ever give away riding fixed gear in the city 
full carbon frame ride prayer?
full steel frame ride prayer! there is this saying: “plastic doesn´t belong to the streets” 
Transition Bottlerocket. Freeride / DH / Slopestyle killer. I live on Vancouver Island and ride the North Shore and Whistler a fair bit each year as well as travel to BC’s interior now and then for some new trails.
Here’s my steed:
I ride freestyle bmx if that counts but I also do slot of fast downhill and trail riding for Mabel 40-60 km a week.
gone through a couple of bikes over the past 12 years i’ve been actively biking
99’ Norco VP5
03’ Cove G-spot
05’ Santa Cruz Bullit
05’ Specialized big hit
06’ Cannondale Chase
my current bike is a Planet X pitbull i use for riding street. i sold my big bikes awhile back.
I just recently picked up a Felt F5.
Can’t wait to start racing, though I have to get into better shape real fast 
I don’t think it would be possible for me to list the bikes I’ve had in the 34 years that I’ve been riding/racing. I hung up the racing stuff a about five years ago after getting really burned out though. I still ride my single speed road bike and mountain bike some, but not six days a week like I used to.
Anybody follow the Tour de France? It starts Saturday
I don’t imagine your racing season is very long in Wisconsin. There used to be a guy from somewhere up that way that used to come down here in the winter and ride with us. Then he went back and kicked ass in the summer.
I also have a Specialized Rockhopper I picked up a few years ago…
DMR trailstar LT with lotsa nice bits on it. Single speed, hurts goin up that hill but fantastic comin down
been through a bunch of mountain bikes over the years, but i think my 05 stumpjumper is probably the most fun out of all of them for the riding that i do these days. threw on a pike, shorter stem, and wide bars and it feels like a mini-dh bike. coincidentally, it’s also the bike that my friends want to borrow all the time.
this shot from a few years back is the only one i’ve got of it right now.
Flip flop hub, all black single speed track bike. Vilano frame, campy parts. fun as hell
shopping for a new frame for 3 speed road bike for a trailer hauler. also shopping for a single speed cyclocross
Here is my stairway… I used to work in a bike shop, did freeride for a while, then bmx and still bmx, have done that for 10 years, now I race cross bikes and road bikes, I’m a cat 3 road and Cat 3 cross.
Trick Fixie - Custom volume cutter with DH wheels
BMX - Fit Eddie Cleveland frame custom bike with profile wheels etc
Cross Bikes - Fuji Cross Pro with Ultegra, Scott cross pro, cannondale alum bike.
Road Bike - Scott CR1, full carbon with dura
Mountain bike - Scott
1st road - 3 Cannondales, then ended up on a Cervelo p1 for IronMan. Boxed with a car - the car won. Now doing dirt on a Specialized StumpJumper (hardtail) with Sram X9.
I hope the Schlecks kick Contador’s arse.
Just sold this one:
So that I could build this:
Specialized S-Works Carbon Enduro frame
2011 Fox 36 Talas 180mm
XTR shifters and derailleurs with Nokon housing
XT brakes and rotors with Goodridge lines
XT Wheels
Easton Havoc carbon bar
Chromag ranger stem
Chromag Moon seat
Command Post
FSA SLK carbon cranks
etc…
