I am amazed at the good nature of these newsgroups that allow a scum bucket
like TM to continue to post his outrageous shit. He originates threads which
have no purpose at all and are nonsensical in the extreme.
Mr. Sherman and I once went for many hundreds of posts on a single thread.
And why not? After it, it was on just one subject. But it takes brains and
focus to do this, obviously something that TM lacks.
When good men do nothing, then evil men prevail.

Around here is open season for the lions going hunting for monkeys,
who 99% of the time ride on sidewalks... No, I don't live in Zimbabwe,
but in Miami Beach. ;)
Lucky you!

They stole mine too while I was sleeping next to it!
But see how many get stolen in Amsterdam too. I'd put security cameras
everywhere to catch the rats, and perhaps put a little chip in it to
give them a surprise. ;)

The civilized place is in Norway or something. Well, Key West too.

Actually, I have little need to be in NYC, and I live elsewhere and work
elsewhere. My rant turned to bike shops in my experience stopping
stocking of U-locks other than Kryptonite ones, while I know of another
that appears to me to be much more lock for the money. As in similar
model, same brand that I bought from stock in a bike shop a little less
than 4 years ago.
I had to replace my non-Kryptonite lock after about 3.3 years of duty
that I have known to destroy a same-price Kryptonite one in 2 years. In
both luck destruction cases, the lock failed to refuse to be pulled open
by mild human arm strength. In both cases, the lock was for a delivery
bike that had to work harder when the weather got worse. As in through
weather how bad? My delivery schedule only lost most of 1 day and was
curtailed (not completely eliminated) for half of another in February
2010, in Philadelphia. 2 of Philadelphia's top-10 snowstorms, likely 2 of
the top-7, ever since 1884, hit Philadelphia in February 2010.
As for what I ride through? How about Philadelphia's winter of
1993-1994? That one was strangely average by temperature, total
precipitation, and snowfall. But the prime official weather statistics
do not tell the tale of the historic ice storms - including one that was
said to be the first time that US Post Office refused to deliver mail due
to weather ever since being created in Philadelphia.
I delivered through that ice storm - both lunch and dinner shifts. The
temperature was mostly 26-27 F and it was raining. The relative humidity
readings and lack of fog indicated that the raindrops were supercooled
ones having an even lower temperature.
So, I walk into buildings with my coat going crunch-crunch-crunch from
the icy coating on it audibly cracking in response to my body movements.
And I had small icicles dangling from the rim of my bike helmet.
The day after, mail was not delivered - but I did deliver. I rode the
delivery bike somewhat often sideways, backwards or spinning around, and
spilling every hour or two. But I made a lot of people very happy when
they had to put money into my hands!
How about the mid-March 2010 Nor'Easter hitting Philadelphia? I rode
through that storm also! I consider that one to be the first Nor'Easter
to dump more chilly windblown rain on Philadelphia after the Christmas Eve
1978 one. And the Christmas Eve 1978 one was not as badly windy! I
delivered by bike through the mid-March 2010 storm! My biggest complaint
there is that I had my cell phone drowned by the rain, and it recovered
incompletely - the more-external and smaller and simpler of the 2 displays
on a "2-display flip-phone" died by drowning, and everything else in my
cell phone recovered.
Actually, I might make that my #2 complaint of that storm, second to
being deprived of the features of my cellphone that did recover by the
next morning (such as working at all).
Considering what I complain about, I hope ones consider that I get
myself into a good mood to ride bikes through "tonnage of brown matter
hitting industrial strength fans". As in explaining how I can destroy
U-locks by using them as-intended when and where I would use them.
Do you want to know what is a bike that survived over 3.5 years of
being my main delivery truck (especially in worse weather) and also being
my main commuting car (disproportionately relived from that job in worse
weather due to convenient public transit)?
I described that favorite bike of mine to my youngest brother. He
responded by saying that it sounded almost as simple as an anvil.
(Fixed gear track bike.) I responded back to him by saying "good choice
of words", since I consider this bike to be only a little more delicate
than an anvil.
This bike is a Bianchi "Pista" (I consider to be "entry level track
bike" / "training bike" / "a good messenger bike") that I purchased in
late August 2006. The frame, fork, fork bearings, and rear wheel
(excluding tires/tubes but including the hub, spokes and rim,excluding
the bearings) and the crankarms and handlebar stem and handlebar and
saddle are still the same ones that this bike had when I bought it. After
over 3.5 years and likely near 30,000 miles, mostly even with a front
basket attached! (Wald 17" by 13" by either 6 or 7 inches IIRC). (I am
already on my second front basket.)
The original front wheel was lost due to upgrade to a more aerodynamic
one. The aerodynamic upgrade front wheel's rim and spokes failed to
survive interaction with a cager running a stop sign in a short period of
my life when I liked to be more hesitant with brakes. However, that
front wheel that failed to survive a crash did survive many impacts by
Pennsylvania potholes! (I wonder where I stashed the original front wheel
of this bike - I suspect I likely gave it away to the "Bike Church" in
Philadelphia's "University City" at a time of failing to remember where
it came from.
So, I am on my 3rd front wheel, appearing to me to be good or at least
almost-good for the Paris-Roubaix annual event (heavy impact by
cobblestones), which means likely-good-for-most-of the rough roads in the
USA "state" of PA even at racing and bicycle-messenger speeds.
Getting-back-on-track: I think I ride a tough bike!

I was thinking about buying an LCD monitor, thought maybe I'd see one this
year at a garage sale, since there's been enough penetration that I can
imagine people getting a smaller one with a computer, and selling it off
when they buy a larger monitor.
But when it was University Move Out Day at the beginning of May, I came
across a 17" LCD monitor lying on the sidewalk. I was really lucky,
because it had been raining, but the monitor was put out after
the rain, and I had gone back to check one more time, and the monitor
appeared between my two visits to that street.
I've been thinking it's time to buy a new used computer, the hand me
down I'm using was given to me five years ago. So I did buy that 80gig
hard drive at a garage sale a few weeks ago, for five dollars, in case
I find something without a drive. Of course, I'm kind of looking for a
cheap "new" computer that handles sata drives, since I pulled a 320gig
sata drive out of a satellite receiver I found last summer. I picked it
up, walked along a bit, thought of dumping it (I have no use for them,
other than parts, and they are pretty common) and then realised there
was a hard drive inside. So I opened it, took the drive out and dumped
the rest of the receiver.
I am wondering whether that large LCD tv set I saw lying on the sidewalk
a few weeks ago was bad, or just somebody abandoning it. It was too large
to carry home, certainly too large when I wasn't sure it was working.
There was another tv set with it, so that does make me wonder.
