I think all of us with SoWal stickers on our cars are guilty too.:roll: :rotfl:
 
OK but please tell me your bike jersey doesn't say advertise for Hooters or Wonderbread.:D


Nope, 2 have the name and logo of the bike shop I bought my bike from. I now have another from the 100 mile ride I did last Saturday. And yes it has logos of the sponsors of the evnt all over it. Gotta give the sponsors some love. :cool:

I always thought myself the ultimate in branding was when someone pays a company to wear their logo. It's everywhere! A&F, The Gap, any Florida crab shack, Harley Davidson, Nike, etc. ad nauseum

The best one is a tag on the front of a Porsche, right below the Porsche emblem, which reads, "Porsche." I bet they pay and extra $25 for that one.

This is your opinion, not proven fact, based on some link you found somewhere. you were the one that reopened this tangent.

I didn't bring up the environmental tangent, beemn did. I just said he was wrong. And it wasn't my opinion or a link I found somewhere. Here is the source.

"Peter Huber is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research and a columnist for Forbes. An MIT-trained engineer and a Harvard law graduate, Mr. Huber taught engineering at MIT. He served as a law clerk to the then appellate judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg and to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. He is the author of Hard Green: Saving the Environment from the Environmentalists (Basic Books, 2000). His articles have appeared in scholarly journals (including the Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal), magazines (The New Republic, Science, and Regulation) and many newspapers."

He writes for New Republic and clerked for Ginsberg, so aside from the fact that he's an MIT engineer, he's not exactly a Hannity regular.

While I agree that bikes in the street can be annoying, get over it! You forget that bicycles are environmentally friendly alternative TRANSPORTATION! Not toys! Some of use ride instead of drive. One day you will have to become one of us, or lard out at home. We are going places not just playing. I ride the path and cars not looking are the problem! Get off your D**m cell phone and drive!

yes beemn stated the word 'environmental' while discussing his primary form of transportation...


Beemn, bikes are worse for the environment than SUVs, cars and trucks.

you, then brought up this sideways theory that you beat to within an inch of it's life in another thread. then you referenced the food vs. fuel, blah and indicated that potatovixen post in the other thread. so, i attribute the worthless tangent to you.

Everytime this subject comes up I am amazed by the vehicle operators pointing out all the traffic violations of cyclists. Puhhhh.......LEASE :roll: :roll: :roll: ..... Like they never come to a rolling stop, always role at the speed limit, allow 3' when passing a bike, drive back to their condo / house after leaving the Red Bar / Sea Bar / 331 or Grayton Beach tea time only blowing a .08 :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Give Me A Freaking Break :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Dear Mr. RiverOtter,
Thank you for letting me respond to this post. I have to agree with you 100%!

Also, I must say that the tight little biker shorts and shirts do make it alot easier for ME, to slow down and WATCH out for the bikers out there. Now, Mr. Otter, that does not mean that you will ever catch my fat arse in any of them, but on those hot, tanned, serious bikers out there, I think they are eye candy. I for one never actually notice all the stuff that is written on them, because that is not what I am looking at mind you.

Now, dear Mr. RiverOtter ride on ride on!!!!!! ;-)

Sincerely,
Darlene
