You need to slow down to go up...

You guys sound a bit miffed hey. I did not mean to irritate you or anyone else when I started this thread. I thought I was amongst like-minded SS riders, and could just have a bit of a chat.

 

You are throwing around a few generalized hints etc. If you think I am a "new age" SS rider, you have made assumptions, and you might have bit of a surprise coming.

 

If you and whoever else feels irritated by "new age" SS riders (whatever that might be) - start a thread about it and bitch to your heart's content. 

 

Take note: this is the SS forum. You're not seeing me or most other SS riders running roughshot in other forums, berating geared riders about X, Y or Z, etc. etc.

 

Sounds to me like you're the ones who needs to chill.

 

Not to worry though, I'll go and ride my bike (note, I did not say my single speed) instead and stay out of here for a bit. FFS, you okes take life way too seriously. Lastly - stop telling other okes what to do/not to do. It's k@k style.

 

Later chaps.

So I used my SS to commute to a meeting in town.....there was a moment I felt really sorry for the cars sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, this feeling passed and I was just happy to not be one of the plebs in tin cans.

 

Anyway, meeting done, heading back to the office on my Single Speed, I stopped at Up Cycles (Bicycle rentals) coffee shop called Break Away ..... they offer a really good Deluxe coffee, and if you arrive on a bicycle, in my case a SS, you get your coffee for R14 (all day long offer).

 

Then back to work on my SS.

jong ons speel net.

 

There was just too much back slapping going on and that was going to get the attention of the lycra mamils.... dangerous those beasts are. They stalk you online, in the bike shops and on the trails, taking pictures of your gear and writing notes on their new Apple I-whatevers.

 

They learn your ways and then try and emulate your happiness by spending an Epic (see what I did there...) amount of money on building a steel SS that is so rad that you adopt them with open arms. it is like an open day at the SPCA.  Very soon you find yourself at the start line of a mass participation event wearing lycra and white sunglasses complimented by your freshly shaven legs and tired right thumb. A kitten dies.

 

SS is like the recipe for Coke (take whichever version  or form you wish)...

It is actually starting to irritate me, all these "New Age" SS riders.

 

Bragging about SS, winning geared bikes up climbs, the "Ya, but I only have 1 gear Boet" comments and buying a complete SS bike without doing any conversion work on the build.

 

What happened?

 

They need to go ride with Mr. Thug, and learn to ride hard, and learn it's not about the bike.

 

I have never heard of such a thing as a "new age SS rider", how curious. Google (the benevolent society for the ill informed) is also in the dark. It must be a cult.

 

If building your own SS means that you are a true man/hero/ SS rider then I too am not a true SS rider. I had mine built up because I live in a shoebox and cannot swing a wrench or cat for that matter in my lounge. It just isn't safe (they tend to claw you when being swung).

 

A SSer is a SSer is a SSer. full stop. the Nerd is the president and sheriff of our community. he enjoys long walks on the beach and being tickled in just the right spot.

My name is Monark and I am a new age SSer. My membership card is with the laminators. I have an android phone so there is no app.
