Whats Lola's like? I've been meaning to go there for so long, but I always seem to get sidetracked at the Matador, where the drinks are cheap and the people too.
I hear its huge as far as bars go, and the decor is supposed to be pretty cool.......
HHmmmm....
Maybe I should just get get my ass in there and shut up.

cause bikes mean freedom. i love versitility and bikes give you more then you know what to do with. i know my way around my city better then most because i bike everywhere i go. not to mention you dont pay an arm and a leg for its up keep. how many people do you hear complain constently about insurance, car payments, loans payment they used to buy their car, and the grand master of all automotive compakints "gas coats to goddamn much!". us bike riders dont have to worry about that. we get a flat a new tube costs less then 5 bucks (depending on where you buy it). car drivers get a flat, you tack on a few zeros.

i prefer to ride alone though. others i know arent as daredevilish as i am. and you'll feel a great improvement in your cardio health once you get used to it.

P.S. and we dont pollute the environment

Ive recently rediscovered the luxury of havin a bike. This summer i bought a brand new beach cruiser for 120 bucks. I pretty much used it only for my drunk excursions to the bar trying to avoid getting a DUI. Well i come to find out that in California it is also illegal to ride a bike while under the influence. Well, Ya, i kinda learned this the hard way but thank jeebus he just patted me down and gave me a stiffy instead. And told me that he wasnt concerned that i would kill anyone but that i would kill myself. In other words he was looking out for my best interest but i just thought what the fuck does he care I wanted to ride my bike drunk and yes i accept the responsibility of possibly killing myself. I dont exactly need a DUI to help me remember. Needless to say my bike is used for the mere pleasure of escaping now. I grab my MP3 player and venture the streets of costa mesa for hours now just like being 15 again.

i would imagine Portland has a pretty good bike subculture.
We have an awesome one here in SF. you should visit for your film. My bike gang is made up of a lot of ladies. We have jean jackets with painted back panels and everything.

nothing really bike related here.

I was wondering if you liked magnetic fields, elliot smith, or modest mouse?

well rock and ruin!

i haven't ridden my bikes much in the past few years... especially since whenever i seem to be inspired to ride (and not otherwise occupied) it's freezing cold or pouring rain here in shitty upstate ny. blah! for awhile i wanted to move to nyc and be a bike messenger... but then i decided to go to college instead... oh well.

hi. I'm 19 too... what a coincidence? okay not really. hi... your lip ring intrigues me.

I have a bike, a nice blue one. but I haven't really ridden it much since I got my car and liscense some 3 years ago...

i am an ex messenger. i would be glad to help. i also went to school for video/film production.

tirestorm bike cru!
