RSVP: Midnight Bike Run-TONIGHT-MEET UNDER GAP ARCH @ 11:45!

I can't believe it but a door bashed my foot this afternoon, now its swollen and I can't put any weight on it, thus I will not be able to join you.


I'm so bummed! I stayed in town this eve especially and now can't join in.

Have fun though, and post to let us know how it went.

That sucks! Come to FP for the after party at least!

Thanks Carnivore & Whatchuwant. Believe me if I could I would limp on to FP but don't think its gonna happen.

Have a beer for me!

Well shit I need a bike and I know you do too , Mamacita. I call dibs on the sweetest bike there! :bounce:

Hee hee hee, I hear caaahyoko has a nice shiny silver bike :twisted:



:P

Yes, but did I tell you about the rabid ferrits I keep strapped to the frame?


Actually, I'll be on a red one. :P And it folds up tiny, so unless you rip it out of my cold dead hands....

Mamacita.....I rip....you comfort her for 5 minutes......tell her it's nothing personal we just need the bike......and then jett before the cops get there!! I'll meet you at that one spot where the pigeons drop their poo poo and squirrels fall from the trees.We can take turns riding it along the pathway, Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :cheers:

We will store our prize at Carnivore's place. He agreed to it as long as we let him take it out for a spin every Sunday at 7am. :-$

Oh yea, and if you need anyone to kick that door's ass, I suggest calling Em26. She's a toughy, and she hates doors!

LOL !

Who told you about the door?? HUH? It was a long time ago.I was a different person back then.


Forget kicking its ass.I'll dismantle that bitch for you......chop it up in pieces and have a bbq.....hickory smoked....honey glazed..... 8-[

The inaugural Brooklynian Midnight Ride is now complete! Sorry I didn't get to stick around for the drinks...next time I'll come better prepared in the lock & chain department. I'm sure the FP crew will have many anecdotes to add, but we should definitely do it again some time!

Anyway, here are some impressive statistics for our ride (including the jaunt over to Franklin Park).

Distance: 4.6 miles
Average Speed: 10.3 mph
Top Speed: 22 mph
Number of Accidents: 0

What about that kid on the skateboard? I mean, technically, I suppose it wasn't _our_ accident. But we did have to ride around him, so it's gotta count for something. And we should add a category for number of PPPartays, my count was one.

I wiped out on the way home. Not sure if that counts.
No injuries.


Good times!

Sorry, I really wanted to join you at FP but my body decided to make friends with the porcelain throne instead.

As soon as I saw the skateboarder lying on the ground, I was certain that you were going to try to jump clear over him in a bunny hop. I was equal parts relieved and disappointed when you didn't.

So, yeah, a lot of ones:
one park partay
one woman jogging alone in the dark after midnight
one temporary infiltrator (exited at the southwest corner)

Some twos:
Two police cars

I would like to be outraged at that, except that since the thought _did_ cross my mind...

one woman jogging alone in the dark after midnight

I forgot to pay close enough attention, but was she wearing an iPod???

one temporary infiltrator (exited at the southwest corner)

Yes, but she signaled emphatically and magnificentally.

Some twos:
Two police cars

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Fun times.

I missed the police cars, but I, too, thought someone (i.e. daver) was going to bunny hop over the fallen skateboarder.

Oh, and one more stat for us losers who actually stuck around until closing time.

Number of times I totally kicked Mamacita's ass in arm wrestling after she became almost-disturbingly impressed by my order of Jameson's on the rocks: 2
