In typical Fred fashion I have been tracking the response time of all of Ted's since he started posting and dominating the leader board on BSNYC. His average response time is 3 minutes, 24.36 seconds. He has been the first responder 97.36% of the time. These are dominating statistics, eclipsing the numbers of Eddy Mercyx, but if BSNYC was responding as Ted K the numbers would surely be even more dominating, assuming the point of responding is to dominate and frustrate fellow posters. Sometimes Ted K does not post, likely because he gets his alert too late and isn't able to respond quickly. If he doesn't think he will win, he will not post. We are dealing with a very competitive person here. Bike Snob is a bit of a retro grouch, but I don't think he would deliver mail bombs. His worst crime is sniffing model glue in public places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-54779436017098521702017-02-10T02:44:18.463-05:002017-02-10T02:44:18.463-05:00Work'in on it...

Cop on a nearby corner looked at it in amazement, like "where the hell did you come from?" Doesn't seem like it would be very satisfying to do it on a street where there's a stop light at every corner.Crosspalmshttp://crosspalms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-49160725651834845392017-02-09T22:28:31.943-05:002017-02-09T22:28:31.943-05:00Snowmagedon missed us but its cold and windy and t...Snowmagedon missed us but its cold and windy and there are no specific tires or frames that make up for being a wuss, so I'm back to motor doping vehicles.<br /><br />This goes in the recycling bin - I portaged my son in a Burley trailer when he was little, and then hauled his bike around in/on it to bring the bike home after we rode to school together.

They came right out and said that. <br /><br />Also, did you look closely at the mismatched wheel bike? The frame is clearly purpose-built or purposely modified for this application. Look how the chainstay slopes down compared to the top tube. Look how the head tube is still at a reasonable angle. Who does this? Why? Why???<br /><br />Also also, Anon at 3:00, you don't need to spend $500 on studded tires, especially if you're not going to ride on pavement (then you kind of need tungsten or they will wear out immediately). You just need a bunch of sheetmetal screws, a drill, and some free time (beer probably helps too). Gary Thomann has instructions in his book - but not in the on-line version (http://thomannengineering.com/software/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Adirondackmtnbikeguide.pdf), so you'll have to buy it from Amazon or your local book store, if you still have one.<br />Some guy from upstatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-86435748125143415542017-02-09T19:32:48.804-05:002017-02-09T19:32:48.804-05:00Seconding MrLobstermash @ 6:10pm I'd be going ...Seconding MrLobstermash @ 6:10pm I'd be going with a Trail Gator for the current situation you face.geoff_tewierikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941705608805116300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-44570028242056770872017-02-09T18:58:16.410-05:002017-02-09T18:58:16.410-05:00i flatted today in the snow.except it was on my pi...i flatted today in the snow.except it was on my pickup that the bank still owns.it's still flat and sitting in the driveway waiting for me to fix the bugger in the frigid temps tomorrow.stay warm my friends.bad boy of the northnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-55840625024519615632017-02-09T18:38:32.529-05:002017-02-09T18:38:32.529-05:00dop,
