The young Asian hipster girl with the bullring nose piercing at Polermo Coffee called my bike 'delectable' yesterday. What? I was sitting there, quietly enjoying a hot cup of black goodness, and she came shuffling over, murmuring and ogling, then with just the right sort of lazy, sneering slur, she says: "Your bike is the most delectable fixed gear I have ever seen." Okay. I would like to flattered, considering all the hours and effort and planning it took to get it into the nice shape it is in, and I do usually swell with pride when it gets noticed around town, especially by cool-looking people...but, 'delectable???' Thanks for the thought honey, but that just gives me the creeps. Still, it was sincere appreciation...I guess.

  1. It's kinda like when the comic-book-store-guy thought my Lobster Johnson shirt was "awesome."

    If you can't beat 'em, get rid of it, eh?
