Last nite (Monday 11/17) around 10:15 I was riding up Sunset near Sunset & Fountain, there was a large group of ridazz posted up outside Tang's donuts. One of them shouted out "Nathan" as I rode by, which is a close approximation to my real name. Sorry I was a huge jerk and just kept riding, I was in a huge hurry, but I think I managed to shout out some unintelligible 'woot' or whatnot.

you: taller dude with trace facial hair

me: white helmet, blue bike, cracker

Anyone know what ride this was?

reply

When I was in china last year there was an old man with a hibachi built onto the back of his bicycle. He was selling chuar (delicious lamb kebabs) that he cooked with it. Badass. What I'm saying is, we should make a bacon-cooking bike.

The ASCII bicycle is copied. The parallax marquee thing is my idea, though.

I'm no ASCII Michelangelo. I don't really have the patience or attention to detail to manipulate text into cutesy little images. I'm more of a big, gimmicky idea guy. So kinda like the ASCII Christo, I guess.

You: male, approx 60 years old, riding west down the sidewalk on Central on your tricked out, pimped up, electric motor assisted pink trike. It was about 5pm yesterday and you looked like you were on the way home from the Alpha Beta. The way your long silver hair waved in the breeze was just sublime. You smiled and winked at me. Were those spoke cards in your wheels?

Me: female, many years over 30, riding my black beach cruiser with basket full of tomatoes north on Main. In too much of a hurry to get to my bingo game and too slow to turn around and catch up to you for a chat. I can't stop thinking about you.
