the student said:IN the Netherlands we have more bikes than people... almost everyone has a bike and cycles ( either small or longer distances ) but there is a large difference between just cycling on a normal city bike and racing ( including BMX en MTB ). But at least most people understand what you do, some like it, some hate it... but i has always been like that
redtreviso said:Not in my neighborhood..fat angry foxwatching w04 stickered crewcab driving republican trash are the biggest threats. The non threats are also Republican..I shouldn't ride on the street because their taxes paid for it and it is only for their use at any given time. Hope you have fun with your republican friends..
cyclestationgiuseppe said:Nice generalization there.
I watch Fox, I am a Republican. I ride everyday with people from all walks of life.
It is nice as we talk about cycling and not politics.
As my friend Bill O'Reilly would say....wise up!
Maybe you should move somewhere where all the liberals are.
redtreviso said:Well good for you..Around here the republicans live to be republicans(ie AHs)
They can't get 3ft from their front door without complaining how put upon they are..None of them ride because they know all too well how they could get run over because they are the ones aiming and cussing at cyclists and whining about owning their little piece of their visible world at any given time.
Your friend Bill O"Reilly?? Swell..what a guy..I bet you have other great friends. reflections of each other I bet.

cyclestationgiuseppe said:Great video, what was that like 1982?
Thanks. I do have some great friends. Again if you do not like where you live, then move. Preferably somewhere outside the US.
Around here, we just work hard, play harder and laugh our a**es of at the bleeding heart liberals i.e. OBAMA

I WORK HARD AND PLAY HARDER pfffffffft....so unique and exclusive(clinical terms)... The countries my ancestors came from told them "love it or leave it" so they did.

redtreviso said:Funny how republicans find brain surgeons to write their little slogans..and then adults spread this stuff around like it is intelligent.. It's kind of like some beautiful super model that wants to tell a joke " did you hear about the dentist from Nantucket" .... please honey don't....

cyclestationgiuseppe said:My Hispanic wife likes Anderson Cooper. Thanks for the vid.
redtreviso said:Do you like being a republican when people((""real americans"")) give your hispanic wife **it in the name of the Republican Party?
cyclestationgiuseppe said:She's a Republican too...a business owner and a great mom.
Do you really live in a world where "everyone" fits in some little box of labels that you have fabricated in your mind? It must be lonely in there.
You should come up and take a breath of fresh air once in awhile. It might make you less angry.
I am a real American, fought for my country. (Sorry I did not die for you.)
Got any other clever anecdotes?
Maybe you can post some more CNN videos for me. Something neighborly perhaps.
Cheers
redtreviso said:I don't care if she is too...How do you feel when republicans who think of themselves as the "real americans" give your wife s**t because they think it's cool and the republican thing to do? Oh and thanks for not being old enough to have ever voted for Reagan. You went straight for the Moonies.
Republicans do fit...They all echo their undisputed leader Rush Limbaugh.
Left of Obama..

Today's GOP is off the chart..the party of hate.
redtreviso said:My apologies for hijacking this thread too.. To give the benefit of the doubt I don't always have people with W04 or McCain/Palin stickers on their crew cabs try to hit me but now I know who to watch out for.. My close neighbors have been nothing but encouraging to my bike riding.. I have ridden around the neighborhood a bunch and kids have come out and tried to ride along with their helmets on and their elbows tucked in like they were racing me..Some adults have also joined me if only for a few minutes.. They too wore helmets as I do. Several neighbors who I don't know have stopped me and asked how much I am riding and that they noticed me getting skinny.. 20 years ago I rode about 100 thousand miles so I got over wearing lycra or caring if it bothered anyone long ago. Even though my evening hour ride might annoy some people I think my daily appearance reminds many that they could easily hit the street too. I've even thought about trying to start a "ride around the block" event..

cyclestationgiuseppe said:Again more generalizations.
Take a deep breath bro...All that hate will tear you up inside.
You should try and be more neighborly.
And my sincerest apologies to the OP for Myself and Red hijacking this thread.
