A "mens" bike is popularly thought of as one with a testicle-crushing 1-3 inches of standover when you straddle the top tube.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873187420072065718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262701429517460610.post-79381978086637709612007-09-04T17:18:00.000-07:002007-09-04T17:18:00.000-07:00I actually just ditched my bike in a bike rack nea...I actually just ditched my bike in a bike rack near the store (as did a lot of other people, judging from the quality of bikes locked up). Unfortunately, I mentioned this to the Bossman, and he said oh, no problem, lets go recycle it on Sunday! So I'm gonna either pay 500 yen to recycle that bastard, or take a hacksaw to it and recycle it for free in little pieces.<BR/><BR/>It's probably better that I take care of it, since I'm not sure if there's any identifiers connecting it to this apartment...Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873187420072065718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262701429517460610.post-31513864511986771632007-09-04T17:16:00.000-07:002007-09-04T17:16:00.000-07:00I'm still curious about this new bike.

It's not the bike's fault it had suffered years of neglect. <BR/>While I am glad you got a new sweet ride I hope you gave your old bike a proper send off. Or that you at least took a picture to properly capture your first Japanese wheels.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688302590630527519noreply@blogger.com
