BSNYC Friday Friday Friday Fridayfridayfriday! (Special Friday Edition)

It's been less than a month since I've moved from Queens's hemorrhoid (or "Brooklyn" for all you out-of-towners), but as far as bicycle cycling goes I'm already getting sperled for cherce.  Sure, it's pretty easy to take a decent Fred ride (apart from the shame) from where I live now, and it's also pretty easy to take a decent mountain bicycle ride (apart from my propensity to fall down), but what if I want something that sort of splits the difference?  Like riding a bike with those curvy-type handling bars they use in the Tour de France, but on the dirt instead of on the ass-fault?  Well, it turns out that's pretty easy too.

First I roll out of my heated bike garage and right onto this unpaved trail:


By the way, if you're wondering what a real cockpit looks like, here's your answer:


(You can put your precious clean white bar tape right up your Rapha hole.)

I'll change that bar tape exactly when I run out of electrical tape with which to repair it.  Also note that this bicycle is equipped with a fully automatic transmission.  (At least I assume it's an automatic transmission because it changes gear whenever I get out of the saddle, though that could just be my knee hitting the shifter.)

Anyway, after a short while that trail turns into this:


And then I cut over to this:


And after some abandoned mattresses and a little broken glass things improve and start to look like this:



And then they look like this:


And then they look like this:


Best of all, it's pretty hard to get lost because there's this river thing right there that lets you know when you've gone off the trail by drowning you to death, assuming you don't get hit by a train first.  Oh, I also took a picture of my bike next to the trail because I'm a huge dorkus:


(What kind of dorkus takes a picture of his stupid bike and puts it on the Internet?)

If I could only have one bike it would be this slightly-too-small-for-me Surly with its handy S&S couplers, generous tire clearance, and impressive versatility.  However, I can have more than one bike, which is why I have three-quarters of a fuckload of them in my heated bike garage.  So there.  USA, baby!

Oh, I know what your'e saying.   You're saying, "You misplaced that last apostrophe!" You're also saying, "Big deal!  The riding's like a million times more 'epic' where I live."  Yeah, but where I live we actually have a real city, too.  It's not like Portland, which is just Forest Park with a slightly trendier Albany attached.  See, here I get to enjoy mediocre-plus riding in my backyard and all the inconvenience and expense of the largest city in Canada's Taiwanese Brooks knockoff saddle.  I could ride all day and then hop on the subway and enjoy some of the greatest restaurants and cultural institutions in the entire world, if only I could afford them.

So there.  Again.

Speaking of expense, the hydraulic disc road/cyclocross/whatever brake revolution is now upon us:


(Creabon sucklocross bike with hydrolic dick breaks.)

I'm not going to say I'd never use hydraulic disc brakes on a bicycle with those curved-type handling bars like they use in the Tour de France.  Sure, I couldn't care less about this kind of stuff, but at the same time chances are that one day in the distant future I'll need new stuff, and if that's the stuff they're making and it's been refined over many years then that's probably what I'd end up with.  However, I am going to say there's no freaking way I'd get near the stuff when the shifters still look like the Coneheads:


I'd also never go near a $335 cyclocross-specific cassette (or really a $335 cassette made for any purpose):


So what even makes a cassette cyclocross-specific?  Well, apparently it's the "large cutouts on the aluminum backplate," which I guess are supposed to ooze mud or something.  Big freaking deal.  You know what you're supposed to do when your bike won't shift during a cyclocross race?  Start running, you lazy slob!  There was a time when the whole point of cyclocross was that it was hard and inconvenient, and you just used the old crap from your road bike, and you had to be a resourceful rider to get yourself through a difficult situation.  And I'm not trying to pretend I'm some old-timer who was racing cyclocross decades ago, because I'm not--the time I'm talking about was only like two years ago.  You know, back when you couldn't really buy a crabon cyclocross bike, and if you said you wanted one people would think you were an idiot.  Since then though, there seems to have been some sort of marketing-driven douche-plosion, which I can only attribute to the synergistic effect that occurs when Freds and fixsters descend on something at the exact same time.

And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right you'll know, and if you're wrong you'll see Mormons On Bicycles.

Thanks for reading, ride safe, and always check your dick breaks before riding.

Mr. Bike Snob, not too long ago I was following a "Fred" who was riding in the street. Problem was that this street has a humongous bike lane, a protected side walk (in Idaho it is legal to ride on sidewalks in some cases) and a separate bike path that follows the river. I have it from a good source that in cycling heaven Holland, if a bike lane or path is available, a cyclist must leave the street and use it. A law such as this could go a long way to reducing motorist/bicyclist misunderstandings.

Well, I had fetched the spinach.
I was starting back through town
When those pants raced around a corner
And they almost knocked me down?

I lost my Grin-itch spinach
But I didn't even care.
I ran for home! Believe me,
I had really had a scare!

Now, bicycles were never made
For pale green pants to ride 'em,
Especially spooky pale green pants
With nobody inside 'em!

Re: real cockpit photo. You suck at wrapping bar tape even more than I do. I didn't think that was possible.

I do agree, however, that all white bar tape should be stuffed in as many Rapha holes as it takes until there is none left in the world.

BikeSnobNYC said...

Perry,

I suck at riding, but I wrap bar tape pretty well. In this case I wrapped it perfectly, then proceeded to pack and unpack the bike many times in its travel case, very hastily and with no padding. So the spokes chew into the bar tape, then I cover it with electrical tape, repeat ad nauseam, etc. and so forth.

snobby,

You aren't old enough to have learned proper bar-end shifter assembly.

If you are using bar-end shifters, then trim ~ 1 cm off the end of the bar to compensate for the shifter plug assembly. Otherwise, the shifters hang out quite a bit as you have discovered.

For shame! You have failed bike geekery section 103be!

Flyover commuter said...

I'ts good to see that you are broadening your horizons, if you count New Jersey as a broadened horizon.

Anyway, it looks like you have the trails mostly to yourself, and that's got to be great considering the population density where you live.

Out west, we have lots of room to ride AND exciting trail hazards like coyotes, porcupines, skunks, raccoons, an occasional mountain lion or bear, and cactus.

If you fall it's best not to dawdle, lest the fauna mistake you for road kill, which is the same as fast food for them, except they don't have to chase you down.

I imagine it's the same for you with some of the varmints commonly sighted in NYC buroughs.

Have fun.

Well that explains my dog's frequent admonition when we're riding to "Steer to the curb Effie, steer to the curb." I couldn't figure out why he was using a down East accent.

Dear Mr. Bickle --

If my dog is talking to you, just remember you can't believe half the stuff he says.

Snob. The portrait of your noble steed is a psychosexual cry for help. Can't you see that you are sexually attracted to the machine? The penis effigy stem shot was also very, very, disturbing on a very sick level of existence! I would strongly advise that you not entertain thoughts of intervelo sexual satisfaction. I'll write you a prescription for Zombitol 500mg take three every two hours.


That'll be $599.99*.

...i had forgotten how euphemistically we all speak at times & you'll note that 'euphe' was typed in the mists of early dawn (5:00am) as i came home from work...

...but the sentiment is there, ya ???...

Copper bike is listed as 56" now thats a big freaking bike. You can tell they are real pros.

McFly said...

Talk about Pro. I did some pretty fast rooty downhill stuff last Tue and leaned the bike up in the shop when I got back.

Business as usual.

I went to move it out of the way earlier and the brake pads were pretty much the only thing holding the rear wheel on.

Better than the front I guess.

IT'S ALL GOOD LIKE MORNING WOOD!

Haha, I do have a heated bike garage (with a disco ball and love sac).

Don't you carry your love sac with you wherever you go?

So I perused a certain somebody's profile and found this gem: "...I also like riding my bike. And working on it."

Clearly, by what was recently submitted, the former is true, and the latter is not.

Sometimes, a NEW bike is the only way to fix an old bike.

McFly said...

Yeah the rims are off a NEXT my pa handed down to me that I scavenged to bring the Trek back to.....................life.(The races/bearings in the stock originals were eat up)

The first Wal-Mart parts to take a dump on FrankenBike were the Sram Twist-Shifts.

That rim had NUTS INSTEAD OF QUICK RELEASES due to a proprietary cassette set up.

New WTB HD's are at mama-n-laws wrapped up and ready. Best Christmas ever.

I said I liked workin' on them...I did not say I was good at it.

McFly said...

Having nuts on a ride could be an advantage.

Never know when you may run into Babble in the woods.

Nuts, love sac, whatev....its all about the reverse reach-around.

McFly said...

I can at least validate myself when I get into a debate with some Tennessee Redneck(tm) that wants to lose some weight and inevitably hits me up for advice and starts out with "I WILL JUST GET ME A WAL-MART BIKE, I DON'T NEED ANY OF THAT EXPENSIVE FANCY STUFF YOUR TALKIN' 'BOUT."

This way I have hands on component failure data/stories.

vantage said...

Never know when you may run into Babble in the woods.

Or a certain blogulating hirsute wood nymph.

Or Leroy's dog.

Be careful out there.

...love snack ???...i could use a 'love snack' about now...

...a full on, holiday 'love meal' with stuffing & dressing might cut into my activities a bit much but, ya, a 'love snack' sounds great...

bikesgonewild said...

...ooops, sorry...i guess it pays to pay attention...

...'love sac' - got it...

...but now i'm hungry...

babble on said...

There WERE a lot of dogs around...

bikesgonewild said...

..."...chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
jack frost nipping at your nose,

...& wild dogs nipping at your heels ???...

babble on said...

They all looked pretty domestic, but I've heard Leroy's dog gets pretty wild when there's a toilet-bowl full of margaritas to be had...

bikesgonewild said...

...i guess if one over-does it whilst drinking margaritas out of a toiletbowl, the situation is easily rectified...if one doesn't mind spoiling the party...

...just sayin'...

babble on said...

mmm a love meal with stuffing and dressing...

sigh

Don't worry babble the holidays are just getting started.

Suffonsified. I learned a new word.

I can't use them 'round these here parts. I would get punched in the esophagus.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off

The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon.

HARD QUIZ

I bombed almost every question, except the one about couriers.

Car horns are old news. I one-up the cars with a train horn on my bike.

Concealed-carry guy with his night-vision camera and sniffles seems like a real winner. I hope he rides in a red state, far away from me.
