LEAVING TO PDX.
Thread started by northernsoulbyrd at 08.22.09 - 10:53 am

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.

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!!!

I used to live in pdx. If they give you a hard time, ply them with PBR (known locally as "portland's best refreshment"). If they try to hate on LA, ask them where you can find the nearest weed store OH THAT'S RIGHT YOU DON'T HAVE THEM. lulz.

portland = awesome. You can go snowboarding on mount hood RIGHT NOW. In freaking August. The only mountain in north america that's open basically year round.

Also, the beer is top notch. I recommend checking out The Acropolis as well, for the food.

on the other hand it makes for a very entertaining thread, i just wish you weren't giving LA such a bad rep.

"Voodoo Donuts sucks! I like the idea of Voodoo Donuts, but every donut I've tried there is ridiculously sweet. Then again, I'm not really a sweets type of person to begin with. However, I'd still rather have a plain donut from Krispy Kreme (or whatever) than go to Voodoo Donuts! That's just me though... Don't hate!"

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!"

Haha, ya foos are being asses! At least you're funny though. I just realized that most of the people on portlandia fixed are 15 year olds. I made an account on zoobomb and they're actually way nicer. I'ma hit up CM tomorrow, Zoobomb on Sunday and then Monday Funday.

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.

No, we're not being asses Nica. Alls I did was call a bump on the thread. Others saw what "YOU" were posting. It's not our fault you started off on the wrong foot in PDX.

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.

P.S. Have fun in Portland, cause honestly it's a great fucking city.

Sometimes it sucks to see trolls and 15 yr old kids fuck up threads. Nica introduced herself and tried to reach out to the PDX community. Yeah she expressed some opinions and maybe offended the fixie kids, but honestly reading that thread it went beyond difference of opinions.

There is a time to be a troll and then there is a time to step up and help a fellow rida.

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.

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

A decision whether to sleep with someone should be based on things such as personality, character, and wealth. Not race.

Having sexual preferences in one thing. Down right saying "I don't fuck white/black/blue/purple/red people" IS RACIST.

"I don't want to hang out with you because you are white"

Hang out has nothing to do with attraction

"I don't want to ride in a car with you because you are white"

Riding with someone has nothing to do with attraction

"I don't want to share my sandwich with you because you are white"

Eating with somone out has nothing to do with attraction

"I don't want to have sex with you because you are white"

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 dont know... maybe youre right, but Id rather leave it open, before calling someone racist... cant help help who you want to fuck sometimes, dont you think?



My brown lady, creates environments, for
happy brown babies, I know it sounds crazy

She doesn't do white boys. Each person has their preference of who is attractive. Why do people always bring out the race card. No reasons were given "why" she doesn't do white boys, but I am not going to assume it is because she is racist.

People need to chill the fuck out on shit like that. Racism is serious business that not be left to forum trolls.

Yes there was, because of the color of their skin. I am not saying that she is racist, but that was a racist comment to make.

Racism is serious business that not be left to forum trolls.

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. I am guilty of making comments such as NSB's, too, but ever since I took that class I realize that it is easier to be racist than you think....

anyways I am done I got some bike riding to do.

So did this all boil down to the racial composition of the Pacific Northwest?

If someone's going to let the low-diversity of an area bother them, then that's their problem.
Myself, I've always had to deal with plenty of times where I was the only dark-guy in the middle of a snow-field.
I just branch out, act naturally and let shit take its course.
That and I also have an accent that matches the blandness of rural Nebraska for some strange reason.

"Yes there was, because of the color of their skin. I am not saying that she is racist, but that was a racist comment to make. "

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.

This thread was blown waaaaaaaaay out of context. Seriously accusing someone of being a racist is not something to fuck around with, especially if you're posting it on a forum. Who knows how many people are going to start egging you on and then start accusing me of being racist?

However people see it, racist or not, personal preference or not, let's just leave it as it is...

I'm not going to post on this thread anymore. I've been helped, I've been hated on, I've been insulted, I've been guided, I've gotten some great opinions and so on. I think I already got what I needed out of this thread! And then some...

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 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!
