Well, if your goal was to "copy and ruin", I suppose you've succeeded in the second half of that endeavor, so congratulations on that.

To each their own, y'all.
The name was a fluke, BSNYC thought it was funny.
It's just a blog, read it or don't. But when the stickers are up, I bet a lot of folks here will dig them.

copy, ruin, plagarize
whatever,
the bike "scene" / "culture" is a fucking joke anyway.
and its not like bike snob nyc is that great either.
all that guy does is whine about how lame everything is.
wah wah wah.
bicycles, bicycles, bicycles. poot poot poot.
dont you fools know that fixed gears are out of style?
if you really wanna be urban and ride the peoples bike,
get a dishwasher bomber.
fuck messenger bags when you can hang ur groceries off ur flat bars.
fuck fixed gears, you think thats cool and tough? try working with shitty 21 speed bootleg shimano components that slip at every stroke you weenies.
bikesnob LA,
do ur thing. fuck everyone else. let them cry over some dude trying to kill some time.
people have to realize that these things are just bikes and that the majority of the bike "scene" is just running on some hype that will eventually die out.

Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[

Dude, the spoke card is at $6 right now because the first batch was too expensive to have printed and laminated. I'm not even sure I'm going to make a second batch unless I buy a laminator. I want them to be more like $2-3.
The only reason stickers are $2 is because friggen PayPal charges me almost 40% when people use a credit card.

larsenf12.30.08 - 2:10 pm

The reason I'm charging is because of the original artwork, professional printing and heavy duty lamination. At $6 each PPD, I make virtually nothing. They aren't cheap, photocopy, sticker laminated spoke cards for a ride.
But I was iffy on selling them anyways, so they probably won't be for sale anymore once the stickers show up.

OK, I checked it out for you guys.
It's a mildly interesting (emphasis on the "mildly") blog about this guy's commute, salted with a few observations on what's happening in the bike world in general. As most of you have probably guessed from his posts in this thread, it's utterly devoid of wit, which wouldn't be objectionable or even remarkable if he weren't calling himself "Bike Snob LA." All in all, it's not the worst bike blog I've ever seen, although heaven knows that's not saying much. At the risk of belaboring the point, the blog isn't funny at all, and you have to dig pretty deep just to find anything you could call snobbery. I probably won't be back, but YMMV.
You're welcome.

I write what/how I write. Some people like it and think it's funny, some don't. Such is life and everything a person does.
I do appreciate everyone's input on the spoke card. I always felt weird about it, so I pulled it from sale. I'll probably put up the artwork hi-res so people can make their own.

They cost me $6 to make.

"do you find it ironic that your derivative copycat blog mostly complains about fixed gear riders being derivative copycats?"
I like this one the best. I altered a well known name, and suddenly my whole blog is a copycat? You obviously didn't read much of it, because I actually rarely complain about fixed gear riders on it. Which is fine, if you don't like it, don't read it. But don't act like you know what it's all about.
Fixed gear riders, and the "scene" are hardly all derivative copycats, but if you can't see the current trend of lookalike bikes and non-riders using fixies as fashion accessories, then you're not paying much attention.
