BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz!



In yesterday's post, I referred to the weather in New York as "crappy." And of course, whenever New York cyclists complain about the weather, three things inevitably happen:

1) People in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and other obscure states feel compelled to point out how much worse their own weather is and proceed to tell apocryphal tales of being forced to scrape the ice off their frozen Surly Pugsly drivetrains with their beards;

2) People in Florida, California, and other fantasy states feel compelled to point out how much more pleasant their weather is, which goes without saying because snowstorms cannot occur in cultural vacuums;

3) Vicious anti-tattoo rants will inexplicably appear.

Let it be known that I defer to the Wisconsinites', Michiganders', and Minnesotatives' ability to withstand both severe cold and crushing boredom; and rest assured I am also duly jealous of the Californians (though less so of the Floridians). Believe me, I'd move to California after lunch if I could. Sadly, I'm hopelessly mired in mundanities here. Also, I would hate to contaminate their fragile ecosystem with my toxicity.

So, as a token of my dissatisfaction, I am administering a quiz. As always, consider the question and click on your answer. If you're right, it will be obvious. If you're wrong, you will feel the wrath of the Evil Bike Messenger.

Many thanks as always for reading. If it's cold where you ride, stay warm. If it's warm where you ride, stay cool. And if you ride a recumbent, stay a safe distance from me. Also, please note I won't be posting on Monday the 19th in observance of MLK Day, but I will return on Tuesday the 20th with regular updates.

Ride safe,


--BSNYC/RTMS




1) This "Missed Connection" is probably fake because:

--Fixters never admit they can't stop their brakeless bikes
--Fixters never ride fast enough to have trouble stopping their brakeless bikes
--Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is sooo 2008. For '09 it's all about Sanka and No-Doz
--All of the above



2) What kind of hub comes on this Craigslist special?

--Surly
--Swirly
--Shirley
--Surely



3) According to the seller, this setup is:

--Fierce
--Tight
--Hot
--"The Cheese"




4) What is a "double flat situation"?

--Flatting twice on a single ride
--An out-and-back time trial on a perfectly flat road
--When a pair geese simultaneously knock out both engines of a passenger jet
--An off-key duet




5) This is my Ironic Orange Julius Bike:

--True
--False










6) The above images are:

--Examples of "more money than sense"
--From a website called "Hot Cars With Douchebikes"
--Stills from the new "Cannonball Run" remake
--Ironic because each bike has a sticker on it reading "One Less Smarm"







8) This person is auctioning his:

--Scabs
--Singlespeed 29er
--Street cred
--Rock Racing contract, signed by Michael Ball




9) This USPS-themed bike is:

--Lance Armstrong's old winter trainer
--The latest incarnation of my Scattante Empire State Courier
--About to get mailed to a Craigslist buyer
--A nice companion to the Finlandia Swiss Cheese bike

I see the pink Pista (priced about $200 more than a new flat-bar Pista) has a Denver Track Shack sticker. That's a new shop that specializes in fixies and you can check out one of their "sessions" by scrolling down the home page. I think this is the bike culture "patriarchy" Denverites can avoid by attending Super Power Inclusion Night at the Derailer Collective.

Curious what you mean by this?

I'm in Miami via Boston. My impression is that there is actually a very small fixed community here, despite an actual velodrome nearby. Of those that do ride fixed, some are hipsters, but many are roadies who take advantage of the weather and flat roads that are ideal for fg riding.

Some small alley cat events starting to bubble up but very few tattoos or attitudes - just guys enjoying the ride. [lot of female roadies and tri riders, but not many fg as yet]

I don't get it either, we have those guys around here, they either wear shorts 365/yr, or they look like that in -20 weather.

My only guess is that they are secretly just sci-fi geeks who want to look like Darth Vadar all day. Every now and then, one gets knocked into a snow bank by a plow and thaws out in the spring, pissed off they missed all those new episodes of 'Battlestar Galactica'.

Morgan said...

Watch out for broomie's offer: while the weather may be nice in California, the lack of weather-related commuting indignity causes an imbalance that Jerry Brown rectified in 1978 by requiring 10% of Californian cyclists to ride recumbents, chosen by lottery.

I liked riding in Boston too. If you live in the city, bikes are great for transportation and urban riding but you're only 15 mi or so from country roads. My reg Sat ride would head through Dover past actual llama farms (pens?) before heading back to urine-soaked Fenway and environs.

Guess as long as it's on 2 wheels, I can be happy no matter where. Ride on.

Roomservicetaco-

Only a Floridian from Boston would like Portland and San Diego. As the old saying goes - "If there's no grass on the field - play in the mud."

Please move to Portland, drive around in your Forester, shop at New Seasons, and then schlep around NW and The Pearl in your Vanilla kit to show how DTE people from the rest of the country can be before you move to Seattle because your wife has been complaining about the job market. You can tell everyone in Seattle that you're from Portland and they'll accept you, begrudgingly, but you'll end up talking about how great the city is for cycling, blah blah blah. You'll go to some Mariners games, root for the Huskies, then you'll realize that Starbucks is actually not that bad. Finally, you'll take a trip up to Vancouver - repeat...

Frankly I really like that there's the huge migration from the Northern Midwest to places as "exotic" and "happening" as NYC/Portland/Seattle and the like. Helps seperate us Kibbbles from them Bits and simultaneously keeps our streets relatively newb fixster hipster free. Heck, the Pistadex is so low here you MIGHT be able to buy an ear of corn with one!

This fixed gear shit. . . when those assholes get older they'll have real odd, rare, foreign dogs, like those ditzy Papillons. And then they can explain the history of the breed to every innocent dope that they meet while they're out walking the damn thing. "Where have you been, Jacob?" "Christ, I met this guy down at the park with a weird little dog. Like an idiot I asked him about it and it took an hour to get away!" Same crap with the bikes. And if the "fixies" are so great, how about those hand drills they used before electricity? Maybe slide rules. Forget that fancy coffee maker, brew it in a pot. Let's go for a little comprehensive integrity.

I mentioned Portland more as what the 'bike community' has deemed to be cycling utopia (doesn't it win "Best Bike City" every year?) than any personal experience there. I've only flown in and out of Portland to ride Cycle Oregon and that was about 8 yrs ago.

San Diego, on the other hand, is a great place to ride. Not sure if you consider it the grass or the mud, but let's play ball.

I live in Minnesota. When I ride in the cold I look sorta like that guy in the picture. Last February I went to damp cycling Mecca Portland for the North American Handjob Bicycle Show. Took my winter bike on the Amtrak, studs and all. That Sunday out there they had their Worst Day of the Year Ride. A couple of thousand people riding in the dead of winter to show how tough they are. It was 50 degrees F (283 degrees Kelvin) and sunny. The salt my tears mixed with the the crust on my bicycle frame. Then I got back on the Amtrak and came home.

ponder the idea of that US Air Pilot having some lame ass tattoo for a second. Since most lame tattoo wearers don't have the same thing on each arm or keep things symmetrical. I'd say the lack of tattoos on this Pilots body enabled him to keep the wings level, thereby avoiding flipping the plane and loosing passengers...just pondering, that's all!

it is possible the pilot did have tattoos, and in his case they may be ok. dude was a flyboy in the air force. flew for 40 years. proll had tats...and they were the real mccoy. wings and shit...

Anon 5:56 --

I have a pilot's license. But I'm not saying whether I also have a tattoo.

Some years ago, I took off from Teeterboro to ferry a small plane to Vermont.

A little bit north of the George Washington Bridge, I had a mechanical problem and received an emergency clearance back to Teeterboro. (Kind of embarrassing; the clearance was "take any runway you want." I landed during an air show with a fire truck shadowing me from a taxi way.)

I remember scanning the ground on the ride back and thinking that there really isn't a good place to put a plane down in an emergency around here. This just isn't a place you want to test your gliding skills.

Frankly, that U.S. Air pilot could have fully inked sleeves under his uniform or a fleece as white as snow.

Either way, that was one very impressive piece of flying.

But if he's a cyclist, someone should warn him about riding on the north end of the West Side Highway bike path. That's where the Canadian geese hang out.

And I can tell you from more recent, personal experience, they hold grudges.

(And of course I agree with you completely that you shouldn't be "loosing" passengers in a hard landing. That's the time you want to make sure the lap belts are tight.)

For all the derision I have played up on "Hate'n them body deforming tattoo's"...its not so much the tattoo it more about the "Vanity" issue. Sure, a person could wear his shirt inside out or kick around with his/her underwear(discolored/soiled) completely exposed...but why? and that is the nexus of why tattoos(the type uncomfortable to keep out of view) are the sign of anti-social character. Tattoos that are traditional look good because they are at parallel to like of sight when interacting with people...I definitely have the muscle for showing of a nice shoulder or bicep tattoo...but how do you know your skin is clean when a tattoo looks like a grease stain???

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

I don't know what made me just think of that.

Glad you clarified on the "tattoo hatin" vs. "vanity hatin" in your recent correspondence. Indeed, vanity is so obnoxious.

It's sorta like posting 30+ comments about hating tattoos on a cycling blog for a week and a half when you have no ink of your own, no idea who you are writing to, and no clue of what you are writing about. It is amazing that you could be so clueless and yet so persistent.

Congratulations! You're the new iTOTM, the first of 2009!! You share the honor of gracing these hallowed pages with some of the most accomplished iTOTMs of the early 21st Century.

Believe me when I say that the appropriateness of your vanity disdain could not be more obvious, alas, even ironic.

Irony Ante? Up it.

It looks like BSNYC's comments are consistently reaching over 140 a day. This is a dramatic increase over a few months ago. From a graph, I calculate that BSNYC will soon out-pace the Fox nuws ratings.

Thus, I expect stunning 3D graphics and much more haircare products on the Snob.

I suspect he may be Presidential Press Secretary timber.

Commiecanuk:

I believe your statistics may be skewed by the misguided interloper from ihatetattoos.com.

If you delete all the related anonymous posts you might find a more normal trend. This could render BSNYC's career stalled out at V.P. speechwriter or something. Which would up the ratings on all the V.P. appearances no doubt.

Cog..look at the graph..graphs don't lie, didn't you see Al Gore's movie?
81% of graphs are relevant to 83% of people, 18% of the time.

Cognorant said...

Commie...skewed, skewed I tell you! I looked at the graph and you're Zn integers are all over the place. If you don't modify the subset of A/Zn using the inverse of the [x] denoted set of all y elements, your vectors will skew!!!!

Sheesh!

..that's OK, it's in _3D_. 3D graphs are better.

BSNYC,

lots of dischord in the comments board. please make your new positng something we can all agree on, like the war on terror in Iraq or somthing wonderfully patriotic

ant1 said...

The only thing we seem to all agree on is the awesomeness of Frilly's panty pic. I wouldn't mind an entire post about that, but the dischord found in this comment section is half of its charm.

Antoine, you are a sweetheart. Y'know if I go to Florida this year, I'm gonna stop and say Hi. Should have done it last year, malheureusement we were already in Chattanooga when I thought of it. Ever ride Lookout Mountain?

I think going to Philly for Livestrong will be the big trip this year.

Never ridden Lookout Mountain, but I did ride Raccoon Mountain, which is just on the other side of the border from lookout, not too long ago. Sweet singletrack around a mountain top lake with nice views of Chattanooga.
