I've decided I should just let Aaron speak for himself
Aaron wrote:
I posted this ride notification because a lot of folks have been inviting me to ride with .83 again.
I figured others might like to know. Cargo bike rides are community events and not mine or Vals. I just promote them because they are fun.
I want to see more folks haul things by bike.
As for what Joby is saying about me I am not going to give him the time of day on most of what he has accused me of.
Many of you have done similar things including Joby. Illegal things, immoral things. It is like the kettle calling the pot black!
Breaking into Bikestation and stealing a bike.
Not cool.
Being caught, admitting I was wrong, taking my punishment in front of all the Dead Babys and atoning for my crime.
Very cool.
For the record, I did NOT break into Bikestation, I used my key fob. I opened Bikestation in 2003 and had a lifetime membership, which I willingly gave up because I had broke the trust.
Also, the bike I stole was, what I had thought, a lost bike from Metro. Bikestation holds the bikes folks leave on buses. Most are never claimed. The bike was not locked. Taking it was still wrong. Not trying to justify it.
My punishment by Ali was to give his girlfriend (it was her bike) a new bike of equal or better value and pay her $300. I was also to give her an Orchid , her favorite flower. I did all that immediately. Ali said he would never speak of it again. No other Dead Baby has ever said anything to me about it.
I will never steal a bike again. I am super ashamed of that but I learned my lesson and put it behind me.
As for choking David Hiller. Yes I did that.
It was wrong, but I just snapped after he called me an ass in public.
I apologized to him and even bought him a beer. I have told him I was sorry several times since. I don’t know if he forgives me or not. I said hi to him at Expo and the afterparty. I respect him greatly. He does more good for cycling in Seattle than any other person. He one of our great assets!

I would like to go on more bike rides period, but my family is more important to me than the club or bicycles. Given the crazy schedules that my wife and I have, combined with the responsibility of raising Tomyris, it is a wonder that I ever see you all, or get to ride a bike. But this has also helped me realize the things which are most important to me, and which things I can do without, or in moderation, and still be happy.

This guy cuts me off and so I pull up to him at the intersection and ask him if he saw me. Fuck goes the wording. So I just squirt my water bottle at him. I was carrying GRAPE JUICE that morning. Got it all over his face and torso. I just rode off while he sat there shocked.
Another day I was screamed at for some reason or another. I pulled off my Silca frame pump with campagnolo steel head and cracked the fuckers rear window.

Reasons why I do not go on cargo bike rides, or many other rides for that matter. My feelings about Aaron are pretty well known, and a contributing reason why I do not go to the cargo events.

This ride is fun! The weather is usually good, people for the most part leave their over inflated ego's home to be looked after by the baby sitter. I know I have seen some of you at these rides before even though you won't admit it in front of the cool people.
Hope to see some of you!

He's a pro mtn bike racer, and renasaince (sic) man, Aaron Bradford. I don't know about this cargo bike thing he's starting. I know he uses bikes AS cargo sometimes.
