I don't know. Wasn't me- but I did a quick search for bikehugger on the forums to see if there was bad blood or something, and it turns out there was. Holy cow, I was totally surprised to see it was Aaron! snicker

Haha. I did the same. There's a nod to the post-aaron era. Byron sounds grumpy and full of angst, I don't think he'd be into a steel cage trampoline battle. This fire needs more fuel.
So, if Point83 can raise enough money for a hooker on a ride, I'm pretty sure we can raise enough to buy a trampoline.
And we all really want to see some steel cage trampoline matches.
That argument between me and keylime earlier? Instead of working it out on in messages and on a ride- we could've had a steel cage trampoline chainsaw match.
Aaron and Joby? Steel cage trampoline chainsaw match.
Aaron and Nova? Steel cage trampoline chainsaw match.
Aaron and Dutch Bicycle Company? Steel cage trampoline chainsaw match.
Derrick's family members over the holidays? Steel Cage trampoline chainsaw match.
That cascade guy who always gets pissed because we pirate the Chilly Hilly? Steel cage trampoline chainsaw match.
Is anyone else seeing a huge opportunity here?

But the thing is that the bikehugger folks are actually okay in my book. And as far as I'm concerned, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, right? You and Byron should be joining forces at any moment.
Also, what I said earlier about how goofy those guys looked in shoulder pads and hockey helmets... put this on the record: I take it back. Those guys were onto something. If we have bicycle trampoline events, we NEED the extra protection. While we're at it, let's get those lumbar supports and neck braces like the BMX stunt dudes rock (run?). Those things could save a life.

What those fayclists? Just because I read their blog every day doesn't mean I think they have anything to say worth reading.

I don't see many messengers riding around on touring bikes. I think we can move beyond that stereotype. If anything, call us Riv's Kids. (for Rivendell, 'cause many of us ride retrogrouch bikes and like wool)
Besides Ro, how many Rivendell riders have we got?

the professor has one or two. let's also realize that many of the surly frames are really for those who wish they were riding a rivendell but who do not wish to spend the bucks to get one, or who are not willing to ride around in woolly socks and sandals, or who think that grant peterson is a little too precious and his prose is abominable. Or even all of the above.

Yeah
"faycyclists"? I googled the term...and got this thread only.
I write for BikeHugger, but I'm NOT BikeHugger. I certainly have never called out pointy-three over there. In fact I think I first got Byron to pony up and sponsor the first calendar.
I still want a piece of Matthew in the Steel Cage Match though, just for fun and because I like tramp(oline)s.

No... that's when Peterson knew how to build a bike.

Whoa, I've been sticking up for Bikehugger, and this is what I get? You call me a tramp?!
Bring it. You are so screwed.

I made it up 'cuz I'm super smart and creative like, plus I was angry someone publicised my secret plan to leave my well paying IT job to become a bicycle messenger for the super sexy street cred.
