i don't remember that post or have it saved, but i was just wondering about robin coope the other day. physics.ubc.ca/~rcoope is still up, but not updated in many moons, but the guy is apparently still around and kicking since he was involved with ryan leech's manifesto video... hmm.

Avoiding the nine to five
When you show up to class with a camelback, no books, and still dressed in lycra, set the bike in the corner, and declare yourself ready to learn.

When you call it a night after a few beers because you need to get up early the next day for a ride.

When walking anywhere just sucks.

i can deffinately relate to the x-up bunnyhop and manual in the car thing.

-when you want to get to the end of the hall or block or what have you and your legs start pedalling instead of walking.

-when you try to take stairs as a tranny on your feet (and twist your ankle in the process :stupid: )

When you wear your XTR socks to a business meeting with London city bankers hoping one of them will notice and know what it means and strike up conversation to lessen the dullness....

(as I'm doing today :))

Just yesterday . . . on my way to local fishing hole with son . . . when I launched the SUV over some rough stuff thinking I know I could clear it with the bike . . . then thinking it was a good thing I paid extra for those steel plates under the SUV. Just like biking - I'll try it again next week, only faster . . . I know I can clear it without using the 'bash guards' . . . .
