So, I'm leaving to PDX in a couple of hours. I don't really know anyone in the city except for a couple of skins and classmates of my ex-boyfriend. Does anyone know any riders up there? Tell them to look out for me and show me wassup with the rides up there! I'm lowkey nervous about moving!

Come to zoobomb on Sunday. I'll be there.
Check out the zoobomb calendar:
http://zoobomb.net/calendar.html Go to the Dropout and North Freak club rides. It's like MR but chiller and smaller and with campfires. Monday Fundays at Colonel Summers park happen every Monday during summer; zoobombers put on a big game of kickball, everyone picnics, and usually everyone who is left at the end of the night winds up by a campfire on pirate island. I'm going to be there on Monday too.
http://www.pdxfixed.com/ people put on alleycats every once in a while.

A lot of the riders here in PDX haven't been friendly to me. :( They talk shit to me cuz I'm from LA. I asked about rides, bike shops and shit like that and all they tell me is, "This isn't LA. There aren't really rides here and there aren't really any bike shops here specializing in fixed gear shit. Go back to LA." blah blah blah.
WHHHHHHY are they being so mean to me? I just wanna meet people. I'm getting really lonely up here.

Nah, I just met these people around the city. I've tried to talk to them or I've met them at a couple of shops. I didn't know the bike scene would be so different here. I expected cyclists here to be a lot friendlier and welcoming. =T Tell me about some rides and cool shops, but not eeeeeeven! The people I've met so far are MAS PUUUUTOS!
I'll meet some nicer people, I'm sure. I'm hitting up Critical Mass tomorrow, but from what I hear, it's nothing like the one we have in LA.

We still got a lot of shit for bein from LA, but we were in a bigger group so I think it was harder for them to focus the attacks.
They've really got a stick up their ass about LA in general. Your best bet is forget that you ever lived in LA and never reference it, haha. Kind of kidding!
Oh, and I found that riding singlespeed in that city is much more enjoyable than fixed anyway. It seemed like as soon as I got brakes and swapped my bike to singlespeed (and added a front basket) everyone went from giving me dirty looks to saying "whoa sweet ride!"
If you have a flashy built up track bike, expect to be hated on. I forget what their codename for a flashy track bike is, I think it's like TARK bike or something. Even the zoobomb guys hate track bikes, seriously no joke- they hate em!!!

Voodoo donuts and that vegan Chinese eatery in Chinatown up there kicked alot of ass and rocked my tastebuds, and I'm not even Vegan myself.
But then again, I actually explored PDX quite thoroughly before I even started traipsing around parts of LA with y'all.
Apparently, that's one of my habits.
I'll go and check out the spice of life somewhere far away, before even trying to dig in my own backyard for that special feeling.
I guess hometown-pride is a far-gone concept when it comes to the heart of things now.

To her defense the pdxfixed forums might indeed be a bit nasty of a place...
Some of the things they say about it on zoobomb.net are funny and relevant to this thread...
"I don't know what you expect from Fixsters anyways besides a whole lot of attitude."
(HAHA)
"the fixed gear kids are just cranky because their jeans are too tight, and they paid too much money for their parts."
(HAHAHA)
"My bike of choice is cooler than your bike of choice. In fact, I chose my bike based on the coolness factor, which was decidedly higher on the awesometer than your bike style. Also, my friends are wayyy cooler than your friends and our skills are far superior to that of your collective group. I therefore reserve the right to act as if Iam more than just your average jack-off. Go Fixies!"

northernsoulbyrd08.28.09 - 1:28 am

All right, I'm going to give you the tough love.
I read that thread on PDX fixed. Some people did go to far, but I think you would be a bit miffed if someone new came to town and asked about rides and then preceded to dog on L.A.'s food and bike shops. Imagine if they said In N' Out sucked compared to their local chain and that L.A.'s few bike shops were a joke because they don't have 15 models of panniers in stock.
People in Portland are proud of their bike culture and how normalized it is there. They are proud of their food. You come in and admit to being new and then tell them the two things they are most proud of aren't all that compared to L.A. When people call you on it, you can't just say, "WHY SO SERIOUS?" and then keep talking trash. Honestly I wasn't feeling what you wrote, and I'm the biggest L.A. booster around.
Riding bikes isn't a big deal or a novelty there, it's just how people get around. They have many amazing and sophisticated bike shops and builders. They don't hate track bikes, but they see them for what they are and that's as just one aspect in the big world of cycling. They "get" practical cycling (fenders, lights, bags) which in L.A. is something of a mystery. They are crazy about cyclocross. As much as I love Orange 20, they'll be the first ones to admit that Portland rocks.
The Mexican food here does own Portland Mexican food, but I think they know that and you don't have to rub it in their faces. And please, stop boosting In N' Out to Portlanders. I love in In N' Out, but it's a fast food chain that serves hamburgers that's only in California. Do you really think that kind of thing is going to appeal to Portland bike people, who have a reputation for being into local, organic, and fiercely independent?
This isn't about expressing yourself or speaking your mind. You can do that. But you best have the stones and the wit to parlay. And please do your homework. Read reviews, read blogs, do some time on Google, look at Flickr galleries. Come across as inquisitive but informed.
You could have said what you said in a different way and been treated in a much friendlier manner. Yes, this is just a dumb forum, but that doesn't mean that you can just post anything. It will exist, probably permanently, and there will be a permanent link to it.
Anyway, just ride and don't worry too much about being accepted or whatever. Trying too hard is just as dumb as not trying hard enough. Celebrate the fact that you aren't looked at as a freak if you want to use your bike as transportation. Do you realize how fucking amazing and revolutionary and rare that is in the U.S.? Bask in it, enjoy it.

Again, that hits it right on the head.
When you grow up in one big city, then move to another, it will always be a battle of who has the best.
When you venture from a shithole and into some place else, everything will always be better no matter where you go.
Frankly, when I think of the two cities, the only true difference is that one has more people, and the other has an actual river flowing through it.

And you should really consider cabhauler's advice.
It's probably the best you'll get. Everyone in Portland is nice, just try not to come off as someone who is trying to fit in. Once you get over that, you're gravy.

I'm a little confused by this thread as well as the one on pdx fixed..
First off, it's rained ONCE in the last few weeks, TWICE in the last two months..
Our average rainfall per year is actually 35-36 inches, not 44.
It rains more in seattle, houson, atlanta, etc.
Average high for the summer here is around 80 degrees. It's great for cycling.
Secondly, most members of pdxfixed are in their 20s and find "fixed gear bikes" to be a hobbie. There are some high schoolers on there, but surprisingly they contributed very little to that thread.
I own a road bike, and a cross bike, and a track bike (i race track) and post on pdx fixed alongside a lot of my friends.
Thirdly. Sure, most of us spend way too much time on the internet, but, what's the point in denying that via an internet forum? It'd be contradictory and stupid.
And finally: I'm going to be in LA for track nationals in sep 30-oct 4th: hope it isn't as bad as northernsoulbyrd makes it sound.

I actually like the rain and cloudy weather here, but the weather here has been so chaotic. Just the other day it was raining and cold and now it's hot as shit. My body's not used to it yet. Ugh, in just a couple of weeks though, it's gonna drop down to cold as fuck weather... I remember when I was living here September last year, it went down for like 35 degrees outside.

I'm confused as tow hat was chaotic about our weather. It rained one morning for a couple hours, then it was around 65 that day, which is hardly cold.
That b eing said, you probably should apologize. You dissed portland for no reason.. People were nice to you until you said our bike shops sucked. Then you had to say our food sucked too. You don't seem to be able to back up these opinions either, which makes you appear ignorant..
Sorry if portlanders weren't fake enough to pretend to like you even after you bitched and moaned about some of the best aspects of our city.

Wow you guys are way below on your average precipitation. Normally it rains 9 times in June, 4 times in July, and 5 times in Aug. You have average highs of 80 degrees for July and Aug, then it falls off quite a bit from there. Your annual rainy days is 152 / yr. Source: National Climatic Data Center
Like I said, concentrate on riping them on the weather Nica, and play down the other points. Play ur strong suit.

its just not a cool thing to do, hence apologizing, or keeping opinions that are obv not the norm / majority to yourself.

It's wetter overall up there, but what I've always heard is that it's a constant gentle rain. I wouldn't mind that so much, it's relatively easy to keep dry if you know what you're doing.

Some people just dont have an attraction to certain people... fuck it... Do you have to be open to fuck every race in order to not be racist? Maybe... i dont know...
Just seems like people are entitled to fuck who they want, as long as its not for racist reasons. If she dont fuck white boys, because she thinks they're the scum of the earth, then that might be racist... but if she dont fuck them because she's just not attracted to them.... when then evolution is taking its course I suppose

Let me be clear, Im saying that what you're attracted to or not attracted my or may not have racial underpinnings. Im just not saying every case has that... Im "more" attracted to non-white girls... and I dont think there is anything racial about it... just have "a thing" for a brown skin lady.

I know it is, which is half the reason I called her on it. Racism is so rampant in our society people don't even realize when they are being racist. When I called her on it, I did so half-jesting, had no idea ppl would get fired up. You can make a completely innocent comment and it can be a racist comment. You don't have to have the intent in order for it to be racist. I took classes on racism in undergrad and trust me, it's EVERYWHERE and people don't even realize it.

So if she said she doesn't do Caucasians would it be the same thing? She used the term white boys to describe them but never said what that meant. She has since clarified it, but you still seem to not take her for her word.
Now if she said she doesn't do Crackers, then you might have a point.

You know, la duderina and others are right-- we need to be careful about the way we loosely write/talk about our preferences or whatever....
However, I think the same extend to just saying: thats a racist statement.
Like I said before:
"I dont fuck white boys"
can be a statement of matter of factness, NSB does not fuck white boys. There is nothing inherently racist about it, until you delve into what that "means".
"I (md2) dont fuck white boys"
I dont. Sorry, i just dont. WHY? thats why we need to wait to reserve our judgements.
I think thats the best thing we can all take from the discussion
Why not just ask NSB, "what do you mean by...."
then we can throw her into the fire

I posted my e-mail so if you'd like me to clarify things, hit me up... I'm not being serious, LOL. But if you feel the need to take this seriously, by all means, e-mail me.
I didn't mean for it to come off as a "racist statement." I guess I worded things wrong.

NSB I am glad you are taking this all with a good attitude. It kinda sucks that you try to reach out to fellow ridazz and get dissed both on PDX fixed and here. I know you can dish it out too but shit sometimes ridazz need to step back and see the situation as it is and help a rida out.
Everyone is entitle to their opinion and may not agree with yours but at some point we are all human and should respect each other a little bit better (except ijunes who deserves none)

At least he has a date tonight... Apparently with male twins, from what I heard???????? lawlz.
Yep, well thanks! I'm just trying not to get so butt hurt over things. I know things will look out for me here. For the most part, I'm pretty happy here. Like I said, I just not used to things yet and I just need to warm up to the city. Thaz aaaaaaall.

I just recently got to spend a couple days in Portland for my first time, and the worst thing about my trip was NOT having my bike! As soon as we pulled into to the city there was a steady flow of commuters. Not to mention there was a road race going on right in Downtown. I didn't get to mingle with too many new people, but everyone I encountered was really friendly and down to earth. There seems like more than enough people to ride with there (whom I'm sure could care less what type of bike you ride) and you'll make a lot of rad new friends. Good luck up there!

I don't really have time to read all of this, but I think what I have gathered in my 15 - 35 second skim is that Northernsoulbyrd is the grand dragon of the KKK. Am I on the right track here? Please forgive me if I have been misinformed, I find the internet to be a scary place what with all the information.

That's pretty close, but she hates whites. You guys have fun with her and talk her into going further north.
