Ok. This is a new level of douchbaggery and I've had it with the fixie kids.

It's freezing in New York. It was nearly in the single digits this morning (ok ok i don't want to start a pissing contest, some of you work in colder places, but I was freezing) and it dumped about a half foot of snow yesterday which is all iced over now and annoyingly slippery.

Having made it through the last two days of march apocolyspse, I was casually riding my bike home down second aveune. I was SUDDENLY jerked back in heavy traffic, and my frist thought was that I was being taken down by a pedestrian. I wobbled a bit, freaked out looking at the ground trying to avoid a patch of ice. Then it let go. I looked up to see some piece of shit weave in front of me, showing off his shiney new cinelli track bike, and turning around to give me a smirk and the "thumbs up." WHAT THE FUCK just happened? I thought... I realized he just put his hand on my shoulder to propell himself forward, which I know isn't exactly skitching but I'm convinced that he would have if I was going faster than him. I was shaken, baffled and pissed off I hadn't thought quicker to have thrown my ulock at his head. It would have been worth the cost of a new one. As he "mashed" ahead in traffic he glided his hands across passing cars and busses, mimicking the new slew of "sweet" NY videos of riding fixed gears in traffic (if someone wants to explain to me why that's entertaining I'm genuinely insterested). What the hell was the point of that? If that's how I would have gone out today, I would be haunting that motherfucker for the rest of his life, and then be waiting for his ass in hell.

In conclusion, is this a new trend? Is this what I have to look forward to at work from now on? Not only being raced by and smirked at by hipsters with tight jeans, purple jackets and fitteds, but being physically assualted by them as well? If so I quit. Today.

I hope that story is al least moderately entertaining for the rest of you.

Watch your back :)

I relate to feeliing jipped by a rider on a bike worh more than my car but this new assult of "I am so cool and I copy you", thanks for the skitch (emerikan for tow) I am going to make you crash.. Is just flat out insulting. The fact that there was no help offered makes me mad... only the stoopid grin of the bastard who pulled you down.

Wednesday night cricketers riders.. if you do stuff like this I will bash the fuck out of you  on every blog, news group and faker shop  in Australia.

Copying messengers is one thing but pulling them down is another all together.

Oh yeah has anyone seen the TIGER in the TIGER shop in Bondi Junction.. you can win it in the up coming mag, GQ.
