Also, you can cause a forked bike to jam simply by shoving a stick through the spokes.


You can do the same to this bike. Unless you drive perfectly straight, the stick doesn't drop to the center of the spokes and is also short enough in length that it clears the frame in any position...yeah not really that much more effective.

I also would not want to be in a non-forked, lack of suspension bike, in any environment where a stick of that strength could find itself between my spokes without human aid.

Fun concept but ultimately a gimmick.

It's a cruiser. Cruisers don't have suspension.

Song: April March - Laisse Tomber les Filles

You have the song title correct but the singer in this video is most defiantly France Gall. Although April March did do a version of the song.


Correct.

Although I actually prefer Elinore's - a good friend of mine - cover much better. Engines revving, surf guitars screaming, and her voice is just raucous.

This made me think of back when I was in 2nd grade. I don't know why, but we had a test where we had to name three parts of a bicycle. I had gotten a BMX bike for my birthday earlier that year, and I had to have the fork replaced because I'm rough on shit like that. With that fresh on my mind I put fork as one of the parts on the test, and the bitch counted the answer wrong.

I hated my 2nd grade teacher. I'm not the kind of person who holds a grudge and I don't let things get to me, but for some reason I'm still bitter about this teacher. If she's even still alive and I ran into her on the street, I'd probably punch her in the face.
