As Parker and myself (Dave) were crossing 7th east on friday night to watch fireworks at the oh-so-cultural event of Pioneer Day at Liberty Park itself, we were almost hit by a boy on a bike. Yeah, one of those old style, skinny road bikes (as pictured above). We laughed and said, "skinny jeans on a skinny bike" being that he had his skinnies on.
Then we both wondered... when did road bikes all the sudden become the cool thing to have? I mean when I'm on campus, walking to my International Relations class, I can't tell if I'm going to school or if I'm amidst the "Tour de France." It seems that there are more road bikes chained up outside the library then there are legs to pedal them. What happened to the super cool mountain bikes that everyone used to own? Apparently they are not cool anymore, not even the BMX bikes with pegs. As for me and my "Mtn. Tek" mountain bike of old, I guess I'll just donate it to charity or something, if I can find where it is. As for the skinny jeans, well, you don't have to worry about them getting caught in the chain of your skinny bike. However, in the event that they did get ripped up in the chain....well, just roll them up and convert them to cut-offs, Scotty can give you the details...
