I’ll second this. I rode 1000 miles of Pacific coast with an old Sturmey Archer.

Because the world is full of psychotic, grudge-holding obsessives. Unless you are a perfect saint and gentle-person, and maybe even if you are, there’s no point in taking chances. And, in any case, there’s no guarantee that anyone who uses a plausible-sounding name is actually named that — credit card registration is not required. I could have posted this under the name, “Zach Shelton”.

The more important question might be, “Why are you asking a Web 101 question here?”

Why do the majority of people not use their real names on here? You’re voicing your opinion why hide behind it with a mask on?

Get on my bike and ride it around the block, pretending to steal it only to teach me a lesson. Then when you get back I will punch you in the face, there for teaching you a lesson. Are we here to teach each other lessons?

also, seriously LOL for accusing someone of being a potential thief just because they looked at your bike and noticed it wasnt locked.

ANY cyclist I know is generally scoping out other bikes, checking out parts, admiring them… you know, like bike people do. just like a car guy looking at other cars, or a fat kid looking at a cake in a window. pretty normal. way to go, pre-crime.

Andrew’s thought process came from him wanting someone’s property to be safe. You’re anonymously wishing for someone to physically assault him. A number of terms come to mind.

easy there, thought police. by this logic anyone who has ever locked their doors to protect their stuff thinks like a burglar.

Man you’re a jerk. I hope somebody breaks your nose.

You also think like a bike thief we totally creeps me out.

sorry tough guy, no way you would have gotten out of your seat at the table, around (or over) that bar that separates the entrance from the dining area, and out the door before i was halfway down the block. you just wouldn’t.

i even came in and talked to you two in what seemed like an affable, good-natured discussion, but look who’s getting so serious all of a sudden!

obviously, i’d hate to see anyone’s bike stolen because then you’d probably whine about it and ask us to post on MM about your missing bike, hence my attempt at a preemptive PSA campaign. anyway, you two could have still leaned your bikes against the tree and made them much more difficult targets by merely locking them together. by all means, go on being oblivious cyclists in the mission. we’ll see how long that lasts…

(Before anyone shits a cow, I’m not actually advocating/condoning bike theft. I just couldn’t let an opportunity to mock fixies slip by. I just couldn’t do it.)

You shoulda, it would have given them a chance to ditch the fixies and get real bikes!

This confirms that Andrew is a certified asshole.

Move to New York, Andrew! Plenty of room for u there.
