    Sheesh, bike nerds. :D I have no glasses and am not entirely sure what brands my bikes are. One is a skinny tired silver bike like the hipsters ride, and one is a fat tired black bike like the kids doing dirt jumps ride. :mrgreen:

    Oh, and I don't roll up anywhere. I'm more of a crash and flail with style type.

    Except without the style.

    :mrgreen:

    Weird, I just bought my husband a SILVER Raliegh Grand Prix (though its in no condition to ride yet). Are we all buying silver bikes to match our Mac Book Pros?

    I knew it! We've all been sucked in by Steve Job's plot to cover everything in a thin layer of silver aluminum.

    Must...resist...must ride red...bike...

    He used to ride all around the place in the summer with the thing iced & packed.
    That sounds awesome! I want one!

    I think that he's still doing it. I think that I remember this last summer. Kind of a young guy--couldn't figure out why he needed the trike.

    again, apologies for lapse in judgement.. I can get lame and shameless like that. ;)

    Well, if it was in the Rockaway area of Queens, it was most likely him!

    I'll be the glasses-faced dude rolling up on a blue jamis hybrid... I'll leave my MacBook at home!

    If anyone has a spare MacBook, I am currently accepting donations.

    I've always wanted to see how the other half lives.

    :mrgreen:

    P.S. If everyone else is wearing glasses, then I'll have to dig mine out and wear them, so that I like, fit in and stuff.
