Bike Snob: Systematically & Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling

by BikeSnobNYC

So really, cycling was pretty different during the penny-farthing days, and the only common thread seems to be that hipsters have always liked it.

The cyclist, however, does not use the bicycle only as a tool. The cyclist opts for the bicycle even when other means of transportation are available.

(Telling a cyclist to ride on the sidewalk is like telling a driver to drive through a shopping mall.)

Riding smart is infinitely safer than texting like an idiot.

If you’re going to be afraid of any form of transport, be afraid of cars. They crash into each other, flip over, and even burn up for no reason at all. It happens all the time. Fear of flying is a little crazy, but fear of driving is actually quite rational.

(Humans are the only animals that use other animals to facilitate mating. Have you ever seen a monkey use a squirrel to pick up another monkey?)

While some of us live in fear of pain, the fact is that it’s just a part of the spectrum of physical sensation, and you simply can’t spend your entire life in the Jacuzzi part of that spectrum.

Essentially, the only thing separating a sexual sadomasochist and a road racer is slightly different fetish gear.

while certain things only get better with age there are very few circumstances in which you should eat “vintage food.”
