Goddamn Hippies!
1999-11-15 11:34:59
More and more people are leaving their cars at home, and are re-discovering the joys of biking. You would think that the back-to-nature hippies would be doing cartwheels over this. But no! Now they want the bike to be as natural as possible. They want them to be made out of wood!
So, answer me this: when you're tearing down the Continental Divide at about 70mph, which would you rather be on? A rickety, termite-ridden, wooden bike that may fall apart at any moment, sending you flying head first into oncoming traffic? Or do you want to be on a well-designed bike with a solid metal alloy frame that's strong enough to puncture a hole is Superman's chest?
The choice is yours.

My experiment is a failure. Rockstar-and-Robitussin tastes like day-after-Halloween bile. I'm trying to choke down enough to discover the effects, but no matter what those are one thing is certain at the outset: what I have discovered is not a Beverage, but a pale green and angry iced abomination.
You were right: science is not for the weak of will nor stomach. (More...)
