BSNYC Contrived Situational Comedy With Live Studio Audience! (And Vacation Announcement!) [*Applause*]

When the BP oil company hired me to write this blog, I had three (3) requirements:

1) The freedom to work pantsless;
2) A salary of $1.6 million per year
3) Time off for holidays and religious observances

Well, after some negotiation BP agreed to meet two out of three of these requirements, which is why I won't be posting next week, nor am I currently wearing pants. Yes, after today this blog will go unmolested by me until Monday, November 28th, at which point I will resume regular updates. Of course, this is a corporate blog, so I've also hired a graphic design company at considerable expense to create an image of my schedule for November:

Now, most people know that Thanksgiving is the holiday during which Americans kill and eat turkeys. However, fewer people know that Thanksgiving also coincides with one of the high holidays of my Lobster-worshipping faith. It's called "Über-Thanksgiving," and it celebrates the day when the Great Lobster descended from the Lobster Tank On High and told his followers, "Fuck working, it's Thanksgiving, just take the entire week off." And so they did, and the Great Lobster was pleased, and there was much napping and watching of television.

Speaking of watching things, a reader recently forwarded me the following video:



In which Thomas Frischknecht displays some formidable flat-bar cyclocrossing:

This just goes to show that the true professional will disregard convention and use whatever equipment best suits him, though at the same time it doesn't make the exotic custom flat-bar Cat 6 road bike phenomenon any less dorky.

Moving on from videos of people who can handle their bikes to videos of people who can't, Stevil Kinevil of All Hail the Black Market recently shared with me this video of a typical triathlete training ride:



It's worth noting that this crash happened well below Fred "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" speed (which is of course 46mph). However, it does neatly illustrate another law of physics, which is that the maximum speed a triathlete can travel on a bicycle without either crashing or causing another rider to crash is 34mph. I would take the additional step of testing this theory in real-world conditions, but there's no way I'm getting close enough to a triathlete to find out. Like a spitting cobra, a triathlete can fell a victim from a distance as great as a full bike length. This means if you can see a triathlete at all, you're too close to him.

And with that, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right it means you've reached mental "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" speed, and if you're wrong it means you'll see a commercial.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

The toilet seat in a bike blog always reminds me of the golden toide awards that the SOPWAMTOS (collective?) used to award to to indusrty before the industry became 2 companies..the most memorable award to be was the Darth Vader Intergallactic domination Award which that year went to Fischer/trek/bontragerlemond-klein...no one in the crowd was willing to accept -or admit the worked there so they had to ask for former empoyees of FTBLK to recieve it and deliver... ahh those days when fixed gear meant track bike and hipsters we underclothes..(BTW snobby surely you jest when you suggesetd yesterday that you let anything between you and your bib shorts) have a good rest cycle..

Ok, I think we can all agree that using aerobars while drafting = idiot and/or triathlete

What's the consensus on riding no hands while drafting? My buddy says the fact he does it and hasn't crashed (yet) means he's such a good rider that it's safe. I figure it means he should take up triathlon.

On my ride home last night, some guy in a van honked at me, pulled alongside and yelled "You're not a fucking car!" I know these kinds of insights keep America a superpower, but I gave him the finger anyway. So I'm glad I saw the Roadman video, I'm in a much better mood now.

@ Nogocyclist,

I agree, the $50 penalty is far too lenient. By putting the cyclist "in a comma" and thereby reducing her existential significance to the parenthetical, the perp. surely deserves a punishment more severe, and the cyclist substantial damages for loss of self esteem?

The problem is that if Triathletes ever learned any handling skills we'd have nothing to ridicule them for. And then they'd take up cyclocross and that sport would become really dreary.

I'm still trying to figure out wtf happened to that guy in the crash. Wheel overlap? Speed wobble? Sheer idiocy? More than one of the above? Inquiring minds want to know!

I'm still trying to figure out wtf happened to that guy in the crash.

He ran into the wheel in front, which knocked his wheel loose because he didn't tighten the skewer properly.
If it weren't for lawyer lips (the first horseman of the Alpaca-lips), he would have done a header on the pavement. That would have been more fun to watch.

Anonymous said...

@ anon 12:55

After crossing wheels and freaking out he Triathelete could have recovered, but he rolls off the road, sits up and hits the front brake. You can see the dirt shoot up around the wheel as he does so.

Endo!

g said...

CC,
It was wheel overlap, but I think the wheel-wobble was because he broke half of the 8 spokes on one side of the wheel. I thought it was a skewer or broken fork at first too.

Anonymous said...

You have to look a bit closer to see wtf happened. Fred #2 rolled up on Fred #1 too fast and hooked his right side front spokes on Fred #1's left-side quick release.
Peeled his spokes like opening a tin can.
Then Fred #2, in flawless tridork form, screamed like a girl scout and proceeded to panic, over brake and face-plant like an enormous shithead.
Can I answer any other questions?

That's funny, because riding downtown last week some douchebucket in an Audi SUV who was pulling into traffic from a parking garage loudly informed me that "You are a car, you have to wait" before cutting me off.

So which is it, vagina-washing-pails of the US, are we cars or not?

The MIG (Mike's Imperial Guard) had the Manhattan bridge bike path blocked on my way home last night. I guess they were worried that Occupiers would block the bicycle traffic(?)

Nebraska bike commuter (non-DWI edition) said...

My take on the tri-dork crash is that once he went off the road his wheel either went in a hole deep enough stop his wheel (in its damaged state) or one of the loose spokes managed to get jammed in the fork. The rider seems to me to have his hand off the left-hand brake lever when it happens. I doubt that his brakes are set up Sheldon Brown style, and if they were, I doubt that he'd be using his front brake (right-hand lever) by itself.

just sayin...

bikesgonewild said...

...@crosspalms...thanks for the concern & while i'm in absolute empathy with the 'occupy-ing forces' throughout the country, i've 'been there, done that' years ago, as far as putting my ass on the line, literally...

...while i still believe there is a need for physical protest, my body has taken enough abuse...

...(((...speaking of which, as an aside, i suffered a physical 'impairment' recently & while i'm a-okay, i needed to re-focus for a bit...)))...

...& speaking of 'ass on the line', while some of my comments over the years deserve to go straight into the crapper, the crabon fibre toilet seat drew me back (slightly) but it was anon 2:21pm - 11/18's comment that brought me all the way back...

...while, in one sense, it was paean to the over-the-top, technologically creative aspects of 'toidy time', i don't think he/she/it was aware of just how much it was a self tribute to their very own ego & obviously over needy ass...

...having said that, i will make a brief suggestion...

...most of us, whilst not having a need for all the bells n' whistles of the aforementioned throne or even the 'high performance' luxury of the crabon fibre crapper surround, do suffer, now that winter is upon us, from early morning, freezing ass cold (almost literally) toilet seats...

...my friends, you can crap in commodal comfort with a simple, padded toilet seat (sold in any big hardware store) because "***they don't get cold !!!***"...

...to say more would be a disservice to the public service of this message...

A liberal arts education, the pride of the American undergraduate system, increasing looks like the road to financial distress."

Fred--And their social skills are a direct correlation to their bike handling skills.


BGW--right on!

Anon 4:10--Merci!

Although I enjoy the finer things in life, my definition of the finer things has changed a lot in the last couple of years: a really cold beer after a really hot ride, a non-windy day in the low 80's, dudes with shaved legs, etc. However, you will still have to pry my Coach bag out of my rigor mortised (?) hands.
