RE: [RBW] Bicycle Courier In Love with My Atlantis
Can't resist asking, Jim -- in your (I assume better informed than mine, since I've never encountered another Riv of any kind in my neck of the Eastern Meglopolis) view, how many of those distinct groups are there, and can you name the ones other than the tatted and pierced anarchist/punker/hipsters? I desperately need to know to which group I belong (raising whispers of Groucho in my mind). -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 7:37 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] Bicycle Courier In Love with My Atlantis Among the various distinct groups of cycling misfits that are drawn to Rivendell, the tatted and pierced anarchist/punker/hipster is well represented.

Re: [RBW] Bicycle Courier In Love with My Atlantis
I used the term cycling misfits above in the most loving possible way. Almost every Riv owner or fan feels alienated from mainstream cycling in some way. Given the objective weirdness of mainstream cycling, being a misfit in this context is nothing to be ashamed of! You can categorize yourself based on how you don't fit in to the dominant cycling paradigms. I'm not going into specifics. I always find it surprising that people in other places don't see more Rivs in the wild. I see several per week aside from my job. Minneapolis must be a hotbed of misfits!

Being previously misfit is why I got my Rivendell. Finally a bike that fit in size and use.

[RBW] Bicycle Courier In Love with My Atlantis
I ordered a sandwich from Jimmy John's this afternoon which was delivered in the typical prompt fashion by a heavily tatted and generously bearded bicycle courier. The courier saw my Atlantis, parked in my office, and became so distracted after ogling the various details that he walked out the door without handing over my lunch. He sheepishly returned minutes later, bid me* bon appetit*, and asked a few more questions about how to twine and shellac handlebar tape. I find the courier crowd generally hard to impress when it comes to bicycles, and briefly imagined myself to be hip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Among the various distinct groups of cycling misfits that are drawn to Rivendell, the tatted and pierced anarchist/punker/hipster is well represented. I was going to point this out in the Riv meets Riv in the wild thread, to point out that not all Riv-types have much in common, aside from bike brand choice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
