Ladders and Longhorns - Happy Monday

So whose idea was it to start putting huge ass Texas longhorn handlebars on cruiser bikes? It’s always a good idea to have your hands waaayyyy outside your shoulders if you want to maintain control over your bicycle. Especially if you are riding a bike, which, by definition is meant to be ridden slowly (cruiser). Because, you know, anyone who has ridden a bicycle knows they (bicycles) are so much easier to maneuver at slow speeds. Add in a front tire almost as wide and soft as (insert fat celebrity here) and you are golden.

Then you take said rig somewhere with restricted space and a bunch of people, like, you know, the gb. The gb that has designated lanes only slightly wider than the width of your ridiculous handlebars. Yeah, that one. That’s a great idea. You should put little tassels or something on your wide ass handlebars to make them a little more annoying too. Then you should put on your iPod and jam in the middle of the gb – where they put those little dashes for you to zig zag through. Yep, that’s what you should do. Then do it while I am trying to get to work. I would love that. I should say, I did love that.

I almost loved it enough to forget ladder guy. Yes, I saw a guy hauling around a ladder with his bicycle. It wasn’t actually on the bicycle, he made a custom ladder rack for it on his kiddy trailer. Nice. I’m speechless. Well almost speechless. More muddled. Can’t decide if it was DUI guys work truck, or if the guy lived in a tree house and taking the ladder was his way of locking the door. Whatever, at least he had normal handlebars.
