RE: TALLBIKES
REGARDING MY TALLBIKE DRAWING, INTUIT POSED THE QUESTION: HOW DO THEY STOP AT LIGHTS?
THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION. PERSONALLY I’VE ALWAYS BEEN MORE CONCERNED WITH HOW THE HELL THEY GET ON THEM, WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN ANSWERED FOR ME (THEY BRACE THEMSELVES ON A STREET SIGN AND CLIMB UP).
BUT THIS REALLY GOT ME THINKING. IT’S KIND OF A FUNDAMENTAL BIKE LAW THAT UNLESS YOU CAN PERFECT A FIXIE STANCE… OR YOU HAVE TRAINING WHEELS, YOU KINDA HAVE TO PUT A FOOT DOWN IF YOU DON’T WANT TO EAT SHIT. AND ONE WOULD IMAGINE THAT THESE GUYS ARE FACED WITH A MUCH HIGHER DEGREE OF PLAUSIBLE SHIT-EATING, RIGHT? NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS REALLY STARTED TO BOTHER ME.
THANKFULLY, YESTERDAY I GOT THE PLEASURE OF PULLING UP BEHIND A DROVE OF THESE COLORFUL INDIVIDUALS. AT A RED LIGHT. AND GUESS FUCKING WHAT? THEY JUST RAN IT.
THIS FURTHER CONFIRMS MY EARLIER HYPOTHESIS THAT PEOPLE WHO RIDE TALLBIKES ARE, IN FACT, DICKWADS.
