Show up with your geared bike, and bring some meat to the Vegan bar-b-q, and a volleyball to the soccer game, and make sure you use your hands while playing soccer. Please talk out loud in the library.

Yes, have a competition and expect that everybody who shows up may or may not play by the rules set up for the game.

Write your name on other peoples real estate. They love that! It art,
Right?

What about showing up, hanging out, and going on an "all bikes weclome" ride (and skaters, scooters, rollerblades, and what have you just to be as all inclusive as possible) afterward?

Let me express what I meant in a more eloquent manner. Since MR is one of the few bike forums that is inclusive and lacking real dicks, and I don't care to be responsible for the degradation of that.

I don't understand why excluding geared or freewheeled bikes is necessary. Would you say fixies can't compete with geared bikes? That geared bikes are so much better at drag racing that it would be an unfair advantage to use them? Well in my opinion MR proved that to be wrong when the fixie team won the All City Race, the fixies weren't the anchor that everyone thought they would be. So why not let anyone compete, let them use what they have or what they care to? With this reasoning the only reason to keep somthing fixie only is to exclude a certain element, and maybe the reason I take offense is I'm a member of the excluded, but I know a few track bike riders who feel the same about street racing.

That's my point of view, so what is everyone elses reasoning for allowing only fixies?

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to run their race, just giving my view on it.

And LOOOK Look at this rad photo of my geared, no handed track stand!!!!!!!! im cool too

we aren't trying to unite the bike culture we are trying to have a fixed gear race. In all honesty if its that big of a deal to anyone that they are being excluded from the race because of their gears, then show up and ride along side of us....if you win great have that glory to yourself...thats why its the go for the glory race...this isn't about entry fee's or messenger bags or whatever other passive aggressive disses you guys wanna throw out there. This is to have some fun in a city that is beautiful but wai boring. So stop complaining come up here and show us what you got.



The Senor

Franz:

The answer to the why in this particular race is because the first and last legs of the race are long up hill climbs and having gears would give an adequate rider a large advantage.

I'm riding up to SB on Friday and will try to stop by (on my geared bike! but we got fixed love) if I'm still there around 2pm.

RBI or El Señor: I'm thinking about riding back home to the San Fernando Valley on Saturday via the 150 to the 126 to the 23 to the 118. Can you tell me if that's a decent route, how little roadspace there is for a solo rider and how it compares to something like Mulholland? I mapped it out and the elevation doesn't look too bad on paper but I can see some potentially gnarly grades via the satellite map. ¡Gracias!

i know the tour de california goes up the 150 through santa paula to the 126 there, but i dont know where they go from there. the 126 has a shoulder for you to ride on, but no bike lanes.

the 23 DOES have a bike lane though.



ruinedbyidiots
07.25.07 - 11:05 pm

Thanks RBI. How's the elevation?--sounds like you don't ride the 150 if you're referencing the Tour. Is the 126 a better, flatter route to take?



two wheels good
07.25.07 - 11:24 pm

reply


ive ridden the 150 before. there are hills around lake casitas. it flattens out when you get on the bike path where the 150 and 33 meet. it gets hilly again when you leave the east end of town on the 150 out towards santa paula towards the summit of dennison grade. (heres a pic of mr rollers climbing it)
but once you get to the summit, its pretty much downhill all the way into santa paula and you can get on the 126 somewhere there.
ive driven the 126 to lake piru but ive never ridden it, but its mostly flat with some hills.
the 23 is retarded. i suggest not riding it.



ruinedbyidiots
07.26.07 - 1:25 am

reply


Cool, then I think I'll give the 150 a shot. Just wanna finally see your beloved Ojai--never been. That Dennison Grade looked nasty on gmaps but if Mr. Rollers has made it through there, than hopefully I can too. But I guess that means leaving town before noon and missing the SB race. One less geared bike.

Much obliged RBI and hope to see you back at Wolfpack soon.



two wheels good
07.26.07 - 8:09 pm

well if you want to race i can give you a ride back to ojai afterwards and you can ride from there. id love to ride with you after we got back into town but my girlfriend who cant ride a bike will be with me, and you know how those things are...

CLARIFICATION FOR ANY CONFUSION: there is NO geared division. Once again this is a fixed race. Do the ride cool, but geared bikes will not be counted in the standings.
