thats nice, but whats even more fun is going way too fast on a DH bike through chicago streets at 1:30am in the middle of Bar and Club city flying by all of the people and their Benzs and Range Rovers who are stuck in traffic because everyone decides to leave the club or bar at the same time. Also its tons of fun to hop up and smash the non-drive side dropout of your bike into the front of taxis :D

Too bad you had to huff and puff for 200 yds while they were finishing their 100 milers :D

Hell yeah, im going on a late night urban saturday night in Chicago. Its hella fun. But its hilarous to smash the sides of taxis, cover my paint in electrical tape, and smash away, bunny hop then whip your rear left right into the bumper or taillight.

And then we can wonder why innocent cyclists get targeted by road raging taxi's...

Why?

What if you have to move to Bangladesh and drive a taxi someday?


no, seriously, what is the point of randomly vandalizing stuff. Wouldnt you be pissed if some schmuck kid came by YOUR car and messed it up?

If you beat some roadies your your DH bike and you're fat (by your own admission), something else was going on. Sometimes roadies take a break and just spin, you know? Not always looking for a race.

Any half decent roadie would blow you away on pavement if he wanted to.

Beating roadies is always fun. I went to a shop party a few years ago where one of the events was a "Flying Kilo" on the computrainer. A 1km sprint. Well, the DHers came in 1 and 2. The roadies running it were PISSED! Wasn't the first time that I saw a watage type thing end up with DHers puttin' down the most power to the pavement.

I remember hearing from my boss that a few years ago at IB they held a contest to see who could put out the most watage, and a BMX guy won with skate shoes and raggedy shorts vs. fully decked out roadies. BMXers have so much power out of the gate it's hard to compete with, how long that power lasts is another story.

But still, but a good roadie and a good Downhiller on their respective bikes on a road and tell them to go 1/2 mile or whatever, the roadie is obviously going to win. Physics is on his side.
