Brakeless fixies seem pretty common for messengers.
Bugger that, I reckon. On the track certainly, out in the
'burbs maybe, but in the inner city?! No thanks.

Well they are talking about the 'style on the move'.. it
probably was the fashion section :)
I just read bike content man, I don't analyse it ;-)

I wonder why I had to register to read the article
the SECOND time around and not the first??

I'd like that tatt.. but I don't like tatts.. what a conundrum!

yeah, bike content rocks!

im exactly the same with tatts!
I like the idea, but on myself, it just doesnt rock my boat.
im getting married in 5 weeks and thought it would be oh so romantic to get my girls name tattooed on my chest (despite the fact i have no chest, it is very hairy and white....), but then i thought "i dont like tattoos, what the hell am i thinking??".

also, i wouldnt want an angelina-billy bob situation either really.

The star tribune is the minnesota paper and i have the same dealio with registering. Im a mad keen vikings, wolves (NFL, NBA) fan, so im always on their site and there is no rhyme or reason to the registering thing.

That'll either get you the craziest night in the sack
you've ever had... or you'll be sleeping on the
floor ;-) Don't do it!

Something subtle would be nice. I like the leg thing.
Maybe something on a shoulder blade? Or maybe
a full-colour map of the world around your entire
head? ;-)

Newbie? Doh!

I want to look old and grizzled and as tho I've seen it all, but I still get these dadblasted black ringmarks on my calf . . .

On a related question:

Is that why I still have a rubber sheet on my bed, mummy?
