"Leaves a lot to the imagination..."

"Yeah, I don't know what it is about fixed gear but I feel like I have better traction on turns.  I can't imagine why unless I'm just imagining it."

"I would try one of the nonprofits in town that sells fixed up used bikes.  West Town Bikes and the Recyclery come to mind."

"I don't mean to pry or make you all speculate.  I was just curious if this happened on one of Evanston's protected bike lanes."

"To you, the good citizen who gives the helpful "I'm here behind you" taps on the horn...  I already knew you were behind me before you even saw me in front of you.  "

"We haven't even met.  You don't know anything about me.  Relax a bit."

"Hey dude on the white Fuji.  We're cut of the same cloth.  We're competitive, even when the Milwaukee bike lane isn't a race.   When I saw you up ahead riding fast but not fast enough, and I gave chase.  When you…"

"Zoetrope seems annoyed that people believe in something, and they believe strongly that it is fact to them.  That is faith... you'll never prove something you cannot see or measure, but you know for a fact that it's there.  If…"
