Bicycle revenge ideas

[IvonaDestroi]

I would think anyone letting the air out of someone's bike tire in anger would let it all out- not just deflate it part way. I think it's a mistake to be so sure some one did it as opposed to maybe the valve starting to separate or other possibilities. At this point in my life I've been wrong too many times when I was absolutely sure someone did something...only to find out later that they actually hadn't.

It was mostly all out... I cant figure out a way to explain the level of squishiness... um it felt about as squishy as the tip of a converse shoe when you curl your toes up inside. Almost completely flat, but not entirely empty. 3/4s flat?

I must admit that being wrong is a possibility. but I did take the tube out and check it in the bathtub (no leaks) and today it held up perfectly. How could it have gone flat in 6 hours that day but held up fine all day today?

First of all, take three deep breaths. in...out...in...out....in....out...


ok

people tend to suck in general at racks, which is why i ride my fixed gear when i ride to school. maybe you could shorten your cable housing?

Hehe I liked your original post better

Ivona,

Inhale ... exhale .... feel the bike love

Could you to exit at the next station? It's closer to campus (like in it). Perhaps Ashby is nearer to where you need to go.

Doesn't downtown Berekely BART station still have their faaaaaabulous bike valet parking service? Even if Ashby is closer at the next station over your bike remains safe, parked indoors, on an individual rack, watched by an attendant.

They even have tools for small repairs like topping off a tire etc.

Yea they do, it's great. But I live by Ashby and my school is the Art Institute at Civic center SF near the fountain, so I'm headed the other way. Wish they did that there! Plus my traveling times are usually near the peak hours when they don't let you take bikes on the train. I think one of the mission stops has something like that too, and they have that cool little side ramp thing on the staircase to roll your bike down, and the little gears on the walls

It happened to me once.

Here's what I'm referring to:

God d***

And all those a--hole's, too.

I personally find vitriolic spewing offensive and counterproductive. Even your name suggests much anger. I guess I can just put you on my ignore list. I do hope your intent in your posts is not to destroy. It's not a good goal.

And maybe your tire was going to go down anyway. It happens.

Well arn't we feeling PC today! I'm not offended if you block me. I personally don't believe in censorship, esspecially the religious kind, but to each their own.

I'm surprised you're in the music field though, I must say. Of all bussinesses, I think that's the one with the most "vitriolic spewing"... My username is the name of both my fashion design label and my street name. Sorry if you're frightened and offended sweetheart!

hmmm.... strange and unusual... ghosts!

No, an intermittently failing valve.

Lots of musicians, lots of kinds of music. Stick around and get to know us. You'll find the kind of music BSG & Mr. BSG play is hardly vitriolic.

Hmmm, maybe a new genre of bitter, anguished, caustic blue grass could take off or get them kicked out of Ralph's.

"I'm just a pooooor blue grass picker.
Your doggone coffee is cold and bitter
We asked for tomatoes instead of lettuce
Now in your dang greasy dive you won't let us ..."

would like to see what you were sewing (and probably ironing/steaming in stages) for so many hrs. yesterday. I'm not being sarcastic here..a well-fitted garmet requires these stages.

We need to see what the future bike chicwear designer is up to.

if you want to do something off the wall terrible, write them another note asking them to kindly mind where how they lock their bike and then sign thanks! you will attract more flies with honey than lemon, speaking from a very passive aggressive person

[OakLeaf]

Put a hacksaw in your pack.

If their bike gets stolen because they locked it to yours, that's not your fault.

Put a hacksaw in your pack.

Why is it as soon as I read this, I started laughing even though it's a helpful tip?


May things never morph to that point. And bring that hacksaw to the sewing segment of your classes, Iviona. It's a new impressive "tool".

Here's a couple of em... never mind that they all look like whores!... They're not suppossed to be that short... The dresses were mostly made made for me but the models were all at least 9 inches taller then me....and actually wider then i am, even though they look skinnier, so the fit on them is a (ahem) little short and tight... im pretty short so they fit me A LOT lower on the legs

Um, ok. ....but... isn't that the whole point?

Seriously though- this is like TOTAL roller derby style!!! The ripped fishnets, Catholic schoolgirl plaids, garters, striped tights, knee socks, combat boots, laced bustiers, studded T's, bullets.... You should be designing/producing clothes for roller derby!- it's a perfect match. Here's a forum page of a skating forum I'm on that has a lot of links to Derby punk/wh*re type fashion- check out the businesses that are currently producing this kind of gear- they are wild and cutting edge:

I'm hoping you don't have to be on that forum in order to see the page. Check into the links for roller derby gear that they are listing in the various posts.

So, but why can't you just wear all this same stuff when you're riding your bike, if you're wearing it on a daily basis anyway? I'm a bit confused...what is it that you need to be biking-specific? I assume you're not talking 50 mile rides here. Is it just the rain issue that poses a problem for you when you're riding around back and forth between school, work, store, etc? What is the clothing problem you need to solve?

Quit breathing all the spray paint fumes, girl- you'll get lung cancer in your 40's and it won't help your biking any!

Now I see your bike clothes dilemma!

As for revenge, I would take a pic of the guy's bike locked to your cable, and send it to the bike snob. Fun!
