Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

How about: "Dude, can I bum a smoke?"  Maybe I hang out with a different kind of cyclist than this guy does.  ;-)

Re: I found this amusing

Definitely funny, but surprised at how race-centric this was; it shows how distinct the different bike groups are.  For the commuters, how about: bragging about the number of miles ridden to/from work; how much they ride in inclement weather; how they ride hot or cold; how HEAVY the bike is; all the stuff the bike has on it; number of flats and stories about changing flats or fixing bikes under challenging circumstances...what am I forgetting?

I brag about not having owned a car in the last 12 years…
