This story reminds me of growing up in Minnesota. One summer the "bike
patrol" was invented and they tried to pull me over for not stopping or
something, I must have been about 13 or 14 years old. I just rode away from
them and went home. They knocked on our door an my mother asked them "by

That's because bicycles are "toys". $200 for a toy?
Now in one real sense, bicycles are toys -- if cycling weren't fun, I'd
give it up in a minute. But they are not "toys", obviously, in the sense of
"trivial", "frivolous", lacking in useful value.
"$200 for a TV? For a computer?? For a effing iP
I had an old man struggle to understand how any bike could cost more than
$200. He just kept asking what my bike does that they don't, and he
commented how I "wasn't even dressed like a cyclist." To me linen shorts
and a white t shirt are perfect for riding.

Yeah, there are times when I feel a bit apprehensive about riding around
the area on my decently equipped Rambouillet wearing jeans, sweatshirt,
"aged" baseball cap, etc. But then it dawns on me pretty quickly that few
people around here would recognize the difference between the Riv and a

I've been asked if I was homeless. Hard to tell an Atlantis is much of a
bike if it's buried under enough gear.

Ah, this profiling issue and the single stories we have for others...
When I think something is sketch, I mostly pay attention to: Does the bike
grossly not fit the rider? Is the rider totally wobbly when riding? (And
of course, is anyone yelling, "That guy stole my bike!!!" )

Isn't that like profiling? (-:

I can see Riv's next new t-shirt: "Rambling is not a crime!"

I too agree that some of Tim Burton's recent movies have strayed from his
original version, have become trite and formulaic, but don't feel the need
for the police to harass the poor man.

I, in contrast, always have my hair neatly tied back in a ponytail and am
clean shaven, and the police bow and bob respectfully as I pass.
Funny, I really think that the felonious appearance is all on the side of
the billboard, lycra fashionistas. It's less the lycra, though I don't wear
it, less
proof that they don't make Brooks saddles in England any more.

Awhile back, I saw a rough looking guy wheel up to my shop, take a few deep
drags on his cigarette, before extinguishing it, and bringing his bike inside.
To create the stereotype image for you: first thought was he was a

Fortunately, the way many Rivs are set up (bags, racks, fenders, upright
bars, random trinkets twined on here and there) it would look wrong to wear
lycra on them. I know I sure as hell would feel weird wearing lycra.

James,
I was stopped about a month ago wearing what looked like street clothes.
They checked me out and asked if I had a felony record or was on probation.
I have long hair and a beard so perhaps I too looked dodgy.
