Here is a video of the group that hit me in the head with a water bottle. This video they are talking about being stopped by the sheriff dept. They have had many people call to complain about these guy's. They got stopped by the sheriff a few weeks after they hit my beatiful hair

Oh, by they way. They ride every sat. The guy who started this shootout is the Owner of FairWheel bicycles. He's not a very Fair guy

It'd be fun to get about 300 motorized bicycles together and go ride some circles around them sometime. Maybe show em what it feels like to be outnumbered................

Our big bicycle shop is a piece of work. I use it because it is about 4 miles from my house and they have a large service department with lots of bicycle type parts. I am about 40 pounds over weight. When I walk in the door, They ask me if they can help me but with the demeanor and attitude I pick up it is, Hey you Fat F*****, your in the wrong store. I absolutly will not reveal that I am a motored bike guy and if I ride it up there, I hide it on the side of the building and and walk around. Years ago I took an electric hubmotor on a wheel and asked if they could "center" the wheel or whatever that is called when you keep it from hitting the brake pads at one spot on the wheel. The owner ran over and said "We don't touch ANYTHING powered, get that thing out of here. Seems like everything they do is snotty. I commented about how clever the bike stands they were using were and they VERY condensingly said... "They been doing it this way for about 100 yeeers..Heeers your sign"..
Jeeze I just wanted to compliment his shop layout.

that just amazes me. i have had many buisnesses over my lifetime. it is hard to make a buck and to have that kind of attitude its hard to believe they stay in buisness. shoot i would say 90% of us are over weight at least a little. so what! that is one of the things that happens when you hit middle age the middle of our bodies grows. smile and don't let them bother you. people used to feel the same way about people on motorcycles and it took a long time for them to accepted. with gas prices the way they are these motorized bicycles are going to continue to get more and more popular and the bicycle shops are gonna have to learn to cater to us. just give it time

I got this on Sunday...I stopped to ask a "bicycle guy" about the bikes he had for sale this weekend and he looked at me (I walk with a pretty good limp since a drunk driver tried to kill me 10 years ago) and he said "What are you going to do with them?" I said "Whadda ya' mean? I'm gonna RIDE 'EM." He said "Uh huh, well, that one is a hundred bucks." It was a well used (really beat up)MtB, a Schwinn Sidewinder....then added "Well, it's a SCHWINN ya' know. I rolled my eyes and said "Yeah, I know, is that an English, American, or Chinese Schwinn?" He stuttered and I said "That's what I thought and turned around and left.

Good thing I didn't get to the part where I had to ruin his day with "I'm gonna put a bicycle motor on it."

oh yeah. I got the same treatment I am not fat, but I am poor , and I considered myself a cyclist . They didn't like me much in this store in pasadena, after the one time I asked how much where some "basic" cycling shorts, when they told me they where $140 I chuckled a little. when I realized they where serious I flat out told them "you're f'ing with me right? what do they ride the bike for me?". then they chuckled with that same demeanor like saying-hey poor boy youre in the wrong store-.

good times. I think I actually rode more than they did. since I didnt use a car. the bike was my sole transportation. but they where the "hardcore" cyclists go figure. oh and I did 6o mile rides on jeans yeah I took it like a man . and I could ride over 20mph non stop the whole way. I guess once I had to do it, I became a better cyclist by accident, then they did on purpose.

I WONDER THE SAME THING!

Its bad enough that these jerks gravitate to bike shops. Here on the East Coast when you go into a bike shop, you can almost guarantee there will be the resident bike shop dog (a cool thing), and the resident bike shop jerk who acts like he trained Lance Armstrong.

Maybe the attitude is a side effect of prolonged spandex use.


The unfortunate thing is that many of these condescending-jerk-cyclists take their attitude with them on the road...ticking off drivers wherever they go.
