That's the one I was looking for, damn! There was a couple in Medford that would cruise around on those. I never understood the point.or this?
Worst Trends in biking
- Thread starter evilamish
- Start date
or this?
shifting, suspension, brakes, seatposts - shoooooooo trendy....
I bought some purple annodized bar ends, a pink water bottle cage, and a pair of cool Onza peace sign canti brake cable hanger for my Bridgestone yesterday.
Caring what other bikers think. Worst trend evah...
man you're on a roll of not reading today aren't you?
Who reads? I only have time for knee jerk reaction today.
knee jerk reactions!!! that's a trend i hate
I hate trends.
Worst trend? Extreme unicycling. These assholes keep trying to hang out with the trials riders, it's like inline skaters trying to hang out with skateboarders all over again. Get your retarded contraption away from me, it's embarrassing.

not really. i did a trials comp a few years back, and enough trials unicyclists showed up that the event coordinator allowed them to have their own class (i think it was like 3 or 4 riders). i gotta say i was impressed.Worst trend?

Separate but equal. Perfect.
Anyone else remember the Grafton "The Finger" cable hanger????????
And what about taking your old thumb shifters and mounting them under the bars for the pre-trigger style????
you've never been to a trials comp have you?
Once, a number of years ago.
And, yes, the majority of trials riders dislike the unis. But they are generally tolerated because the scene is so small.
You seem to be into it. Got a uni in your closet?
maybe the trials riders you hang out with. i personally have never encountered unicycle animosity from a trials rider. befuddlement maybe, but never hate.
haters gonna hate i guess

Are you talking about toe clips and why would I need to spend money on something that would be useless
History lesson - http://www.speedplay.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.history
BTW, you can troll about pedals if you want. I ride road clipless, mountain clipless and flats, commuting both styles of pedal too.
You don't like clipless, I got no problem with that, but DHers, BMXers, and roadies all use clipless.
Suspension on a bike is useful, but clipless pedals are not
Hey amish, button up that flap, your ignorance is showing
suspension is totally useless. i dont know what you are talking about.
my bike has one fixed gear and no suspension
I know that Charles Hanson made the first clipless pedals. It still does not change the fact. That you clip you foot on to the pedal.
What do you use it for
its a do it all bike. mostly use to to go drink some PBR's with some friends and talk about how tight our jeans are.
im with you. clipless pedals are a fad.
Trolls on the biking forums. There's a trend I can do without.
Worst trend? Industry standards that change every few years. If it is prone to changing, then IT ISN'T A STANDARD
actually when you're riding clipless, its a cleat that clips to the pedal, the cleat is attached to the shoe, the shoe secures to your foot... so technically, your foot is not clipped to the pedal.
Just imagine the pedal design that actually clips your barefoot to it.
Well, history is only useful for the intelligent.
Like if you were smart, you might understand that for decades, the only real pedal option was toe clips and straps.
So when Look developed the first workable road pedal that used a cleat retention system, riders didn't call it CRS or "Cleat Retention System Pedals". They called it naturally clip-less.
Now, a fool might think, "Well, I just got involved with biking last year, and there is a stupid thing called clipless pedals, which is stupid because no one uses toe clips (except for my buddy, Toeclip Todd)."
Tell you want, why don't you put your brain power into thinking of a new name for clipless pedals, like "Pedals for dorks who can't ride flats", and possibly RM can popularize the new name.
Fixed queer bikes.
elitist bike snobs
Thanks for setting me straight on that one. I feel so disappointed that I've wasted the past two decades riding useless pedals.
What other Sagely words of trail wisdom do you have to share with us ?
