It's Wednesday. I'm So Excited, And I Just Can't Hide It. In Fact, I'm About To Lose Control, And I Think I Like It.

Holy crap, I have so much stuff to promote this morning!

I absolutely live for promotion!!!

First of all, do you want to win a bike?  Of course you do.  Your bike is a piece of crap.  (Assuming you're Bike Snob Daily News, that is.)  Well, here's your chance to score yourself some sweet, sweet crotch candy and promote ME in the process:


Be it.  Love it.  Win it.  Ride it.

But that's not all!  I also wrote a blog post for my publisher's website:


So read it.  Or at least skim it.  Come on, you at least owe me that much.

Selfish bastards.

But that's not all!  Assuming you're not yet as sick of me as I am of myself, you should come to BOSTON to LANDRY'S on SATURDAY the 18th to RIDE and HEAR JOCULAR TALKING!!!  Even the local cops are excited about it!

See?


Yeah, beat that, Bike Snob Daily News!!!

(By the way, my Boston visit is an Esteemed Commenter Daddo One Production, so please address any questions to him via the comments section below.  Will there be chips and dip?  Chips and no dip? Dip but no chips?  Or no chips or dip?  I have no idea, but he does.  So ask him, all right?  Just leave me alone.  I can't even find Boston on a map of New Hampshire, for chrissakes!)

***Oh, and I forgot: Fat Cyclist is going to be interviewing me tomorrow LIVE on the INTERNET.  I can't keep track of all this stuff!

Speaking of Bike Snob Daily News, she might think the bike share bikes are crap, but I think she's out of her mind:


I'd share the shit out of that bike.  But I don't have to.  Because it's mine.  (I was kind of scared that the docking station would lock when I put the bike in there, though.  That would have been HILARIOUS, because then I'd have to wait until the program launches on May 27th to get my rear wheel back.)

By the way, see all that garbage behind the docking station?


Yes, it appears the bike share opponents were right.  The docking stations are obviously preventing the Department of Sanitation from picking up the garbage, so it's just going to pile up and pile up and pile up until we all have to move into outer space like in the movie WALL-E.

Then we'll get so fat that we'll be over the draconian 260lb rider weight limit.

Also, if you're wondering why I was riding around the city on a mountaineering bicycle, it's because I was visiting my favorite all-terrain bicycle cycling spot:


It's called the "dog run," which is mountain biker lingo for "mountain bike trail:"


I got into a big shouting match with some guy who was letting his Lhasa Apso run all over the place without a leash, and then I spent the rest of the day cleaning dog feces out of my knobbies.

People can be such dicks.

Speaking of bike share, the New York Times has published the only semi-sane article to date (with accompanying video) about the controversy surrounding the system:


I admit, I'm becoming addicted to stupid bike share complaint porn, and this may be the stupidest complaint yet:

Now, even some avid cyclists have found occasion to complain. At a recent community meeting on bike share in the West Village, Jane Browne, 42, who initially supported the program, said she had recently seen mice scurrying in the “corridors of trash and water” that formed between a nearby bike station and the curb.

Yeah, that's right.  Jane Browne, a grown woman of 42 years of age, thinks the bike share stations are attracting mice.

This is a disaster in the making, because first you've got vermin, and the next thing you know they're demanding their own bike share system:


(Founded picture here.)

Yeah, I realize it's a hamster but whatever, loosen up.

To be completely fair though, I'm not surprised people are complaining.  Look, I get it.  Let's say you live in this building.  For years your doorman has been hailing you a cab, and it's been stopping right in front of your awning.  It's a luxuriously seamless transition.  Then one day you walk out and find this in the way:


Sure, at first it may seem like an imposition, but if you think about it, it's actually an opportunity.  Instead of taking a taxi, why not just grab a bike?

Well, I'll tell you why not:

BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE EATEN ALIVE BY MICE BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN REMOVE THE BIKE FROM THE KIOSK!

Every day at least ten Londoners are devoured by rodents while trying to borrow a Boris Bike, but this news has been suppressed by the liberal media.

Anyway, it's easy for me to mock the people who are suddenly tripping over bike share stations when they leave their front doors because there will never, ever be a bike share station on my street.  That's because I live on a pretty steep hill, and anybody who tried to ride a 50lb Citi Bike to my front door would keel over and die.  Seriously.  I can barely make it back to my own home on a bike with a compact crank, and I'm a highly-trained and extremely fit cyclist who is an incredible rider and awesome.

Just check out my Strava if you don't believe me.

Anyway, the point is that if you don't like bike share, move to the face of a giant mountain.

In other smugness news, Yehuda Moon alerted me via Twitter to this list of smug (or in most cases simply inept) celebrities:

Which was clearly written by either a third grader or Bike Snob Daily News:


Robert Pattinson is the Twilight star that said he didn’t quite know how to drive to Ellen DeGeneres on her hit show. He said that he didn’t know how to drive, and that it was terrifying. He said he didn’t know the most basic things about driving, but he does drive himself around L.A.

Wait, what?  So he didn't know how to drive to Ellen DeGeneres, or he didn't know how to drive at all?  Maybe he just needed directions.  Also, this:


Robbie Williams doesn’t have a driving license yet. He said that he doesn’t drive in London because the traffic is so bad. He said that he takes cabs everywhere. He still has no license, and he lives in Los Angeles, which is pretty hard for him at 37 years of age.

Yes, it is hard to live in Los Angeles when you're 37.  Bewildering syntax aside, if the traffic is so bad in London how does taking a cab help?  Do they drive on the sidewalk?

In any case, Yehuda Moon pointed out the obvious omission of David Byrne, but clearly he didn't click through all the way:


David Byrne was in the music band group The Talking Heads.  David Byrne doesn't own a car or drive a car because instead he rides a bike in New York City where he lives.  New York City has the subway.  The subway is a special train that goes underground.  David Byrne used to wear a big suit that he didn't wear while driving because he doesn't.  Apples are mostly red, but some of them are green.

Someone give that kid who writes for the gossip website an A for "Affort."

Lastly, Bradley Wiggins has managed to offend both women and timid descenders in a single interview:


“Let's be honest" he said. "I descended like bit of a girl really after the crash."

Only Wiggo was quick to clarify his remarks by saying: “Not to disrespect girls, I have one at home.”

"Some of my best friends are black," he then added.

Someone really needs to tell Wiggins not to talk to anybody ever.  You'd think his team's clothing sponsor, Rapha, would have fitted him with some sort of rakish silk muzzle by now, because he handles his tongue about as well as he handles his bike:



No disrespect to shit, he took one at home.

the Citibike sharing system is becoming the new Second Avenue subway. Soon to open in the year 2047. where are they keeping all of those ugly bikes in the meantime? to be honest as a nyc cyclist the bike share will do nothing for me other than put a bunch of clueless tourists in the bike lanes. I'm not actively against it, but I think the practical use to locals is limited, unless for some reason you want to part with $10 to ride from one side of midtown to the other. Speaking of practical, what is the gear ratio on that mountain bike? is that for riding up vertical hills. how is that setup downhill? seriously inquiring, I'm guessing it makes sense since the good folks at Engin obviously know what they are doing.

ChamoisJuice said...

What's wrong with your bike:

Wheels are laced wrong. Pulling spokes are oriented for pedalling forces, while braking forces are the larger load.

-Grips
-Fork is disgusting and heavy. Didn't you have a fox on there a minute ago? And gears?
-Artisanal seatpost and bonAr stem both use shims! WTF, you buy custom, let's wipe my ass with benjamins cockpit componentry that requires shimming to fit you custom, artisanal bike. Does not compute.
-stem is too long and bars too narrow.

Your tires are oriented correctly, at least.
I like the color scheme.

Kona Unit + $3000 worth of smoke blown up your ass = BSNYC's bike.

BikeSnobNYC said...

Anonymous 12:58pm,

It's extremely practical for many locals. I commute pretty often to Manhattan and Brooklyn by train and will make great use of a bike share system that allows me to make short trips while I'm there. It also greatly opens up my options as far as which subway lines I can take, since I can ride from the station to my final destination instead of making transfers. $10 to ride crosstown is precisely why tourists won't choose it. Locals, on the other hand, can pay the $100-ish bucks for a year membership and be done with it.

It's a mountain bike, downhill gearing is irrelevant. Gravity takes care of that.

I wonder if we could get odds in Vegas for the SUV into the docking station. It seems that either the timing of, and/or what the text message being sent (at the time of impact said) should be bet-able. About the only no bet-able is that the driver won't be ticketed.

BSNYC,

How about a contest to predict the day and time that a docking station gets takne out by a motorized vehicle, not counting anything smaller or lighter than a smart car.

One or more autographed books are an appropriate prize.

You for example have chosen June 26th at 1:30 pm, which is about 30 days into the program.

Anyway, a 45 lb bike will be great training for all the tracksters who need to work on their acceleration.

You no longer care about having a "cool bike", you want a "last bike I will ever need", aka "the bike I never ride"

30 min limit on bike share is more than enough.

Here's how it works:
1. You take the bike
2. Go the place you have to go
3. Find a nearby docking station, and dock the bike.
4. Do the things you have to do in that area.
5. Once, you're done, take a bike from a nearby docking station, and move on.
6. You can do that as many time as you wish and as long as you don't take the bike for more than 30 min (or 45 min) at a time, you will not be charged again.

I say it's a pretty good deal: 10$ for 24hrs of unlimited use of a bike.

I don't understand how geometry can be outdated. Even bicycle geometry. It's not like humans or mountains evolved any in the last ten years. I kind of want CJ reviews of my bikes' set up. He'd choke to death on his own vomit.

I also have never seen the snob rise to troll bait like that with anyone else, either. I lean toward the Tyler Durden hypothesis.

Doesn't anybody have kids? You don't respond to petulant behavior; just ignore CJ. He's looking for a reaction, and I can't believe you all fall for it.

Anon 6:32pm: Thanks for the instructions, but that's not going to get me off the subway for trips between Manhattan and Brooklyn on days I'm not also up for the additional 20 miles involved in biking to and from my home. Unless the fun of it is worth the few dollars of surcharge, which might be the case sometimes.

"We agreed to bike share, not street share."
I think is what these complainers are trying to convey.

"Mice didn't exist in NYC before these bikeshare stations" I think is what that lady is purporting.

But hey, that's not a mouse, it's a

I don't smoke Kona buds ( I don't smoke any buds for that matter. I quit when I was eighteen and turn to anorexia for a break from reality.) The air quality here sucks( The only thing from Kona I'm inhaling is the fucking vog {volcanic smog in Hawaiian slang[ okay not really Hawaiian like most of the pigeon spoke in the Hawaiian Islands] that stuff reeks havoc on my lungs &I live in HNL,Oahu !) along with the traffic!!!) If I don't end of getting hit for the seventh time in the past four years, I think it's going to be a nice day.
*The neon pink/yellow trailer was stolen less than nine months because a tree branch fell on my sister and she left the bike locked but the trailer unlock while she went to seek medical attention. She has no depth to the word hardcore, all she got was a few minor scratches. Body hopping (or at lest attempting to) a fallen tree on the Pali highway head towards Honlulu (not Kailua) is ...
Not only tourist drown, local people (some who are experienced swimmers & some who aren't) drown as well. Also Hikers get lost or hurt or expire here often.( Someone right no is currently lost in Big Island's Hamakua coast. This isn't a fucking playground, we're modern & a tiny metro. The thing you have to look out for in the traffic we have the highest death/injury for pedestrians and cyclist. The weather is perfect for making this entire state bicycle friendly but they want to create rail infrastructure. That's insane is all for money,I don't have time to elaborate on this subject! Not that many people ride our public transportation & everyone's obsessed with vehicles. One person in huge massive trucks/SVU! Poppycock, I hate here!

David Foster Wallace, really?- The Bard of Avon. -I was typing really fast, um, you should read my work when I actully have time to write. I hope I don't have the same fate as DFW! I'm going for a ride FINALLY!!! I don't comment here often but when I do it fizzles out in a nano second. Applying my DZNUTS ( DZBLISS is weak )please pass that on to Captain America will ya?!!1

Snob,
I just started reading your new book and I already have a question:
Is it March 29 or May 29 ???
There's some confusion in chapter 3.

Apart from that, so far so good!
I enjoy this more personal take on life and bicycles.

Angie,
A well-deserved win!

due to a lack of anonymity and snarkiness,it's going to be family show so there will certainly be no double dipping and even the single dipping will occur offscreen

and lay off CJ, do you realize the trauma he went through when Kiss took off their makeup?

Bike competition only for Americans? Curses.
I don't get the bike share objections. Here in Dublin (Ireland for those who failed geography) bike sharing has been a massive success. None have been stolen, vandalized, or ridden into the river by drunks.
Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Ask Meatloaf.

McFly said...

BikeShare? meh. WifeShare? Now THAT'S something I can get behind.

30 minutes will be just fine thank you, kind sir.

I won't even complain if it's a little heavy. As long as it handles decent.

Snob not following the Tour of California??? At the end of each stage two super fox California surfer chicks give the Ass Monkey of the day a kiss. What's not to like?

P.S. I'm hoping that at the end of today's stage Frilly & Nina do the kissing.

McFly 7:47... Classic McFly.

Having said that, the only commenter (including, nay, especially myself (I wrote "nay")) who isn't an annoying fucktard is Angie.

But, give her time. Give her time.

P.S. McFly, the other day when I said as a frame builder you would build in stainless and go into liquidation after a year, I didn't mean to besmirch your profit making metal working abilities, I just said it because: McFly = DeLorian Motor Company = business failure.

You know, it's funnier when you explain the joke.

McFly said...

Yeah I was a little confused but I take it on the chin like a good sport.(insert joke) Stainless is not all its cracked up to be. It can be mushy to be so tough. And its heavy as crap. Plus you can't cut it with a torch.
PVC on the other hand, well I could sell the shat out of lug rebuild kits.

LETS HEAR IT FOR WEST TENN'S OWN NATHAN BROWN OFF THE FRONT ALL DAY AT THE TOUR OF CALI!!!!!

I am glad they reeled him cause a win would have meant he got popped for a positive on METH.

I think it's extra funny that all the hand-wringing over citibike is way more amplified and identical to Boston 2 years ago (except for the "historic district" nonsense - we didn't have that). before you know it you'll have people on staten island whining about how they don't have a station.

Too bad WIWM, I was on your side until just now. You fuggin kidding me, you think I'm Chamois Juice? You think he writes all that silly crap, then suddenly becomes a 10-times-more-awesome person and writes the kind of genius fucking shit I write? Nah man. You probably hear Beethoven on the radio and think it's Ke$ha and vice versa.

Angie Kritenbrink said...

I admit, even though I've been reading this blog for years, I just recently started reading the comments, and they confuse me. All this talk about who is whom or pretending to be whomever; are we really who we are on the internet anyway? Why are we arguing, people and boys, when the person with whom we are arguing may or may not even exist? Lastly, what would Jaron Lanier have to say about this? I decided like 20 years ago to always be Angie Kritenbrink on the internet, which is also who I was before and after I got married, and who I still am in real life, but with less typing. It's refreshing to be accountable for your words.

Jaron Lanier would approve of my lame Agent Spondee/Agent Smith quotes... and then go on and on for some time about the evils of hair conditioner.
