I am liking the Bridgestone even though I still can’t use the Purple Nitto post. *cry* I notice a little more reach in the top tube, but I think I could go for an even bigger frame, but that might impact my turning radius…. lol like that’s a problem. The geometry is a bit steeper than the Mercier, which makes skid stops waaay easier. Like for instance when some ass pulled out in front of me on the way to work today when I had right of way. I not only had to skid, but turn into his direction to not be clipped by him. When I stopped to ask him if he even saw me, he replied “Dude, I totally gave you right of way so you could turn!” When I told him I wasn’t turning, I didn’t even signal to turn, and was forced to turn or else he’d have clipped me on his way through the intersection, he got all defensive and started yelling at me, I returned the same attitude. Dude’s eyes were hella glazed and he looked like he had just waked and baked. To each their own, but that’s just not chill, braaaaaaaah!

I was riding to work the other day, this guy was parked in the bike lane in front of Biff’s Bagels, completely blocking it:

When I asked him if he could move the car, he said “No.” I said, you know you’re blocking the bike lane and that’s creating a dangerous and illegal traffic situation for both bikes and cars. Guy said, “too bad, it isn’t much of an inconvenience to ride around.”
Next time this guy does this, I wouldn’t feel bad if someone takes his keys and throws them on the roof.
