Well, I'd read hemorrhoid cream ads if you wrote them. Since discovering 
Rivendell online I have soaked up all your words on websites, Readers, books, 
wherever they were. I cannot wait for the next book, and chances are there's a 
whole lot of other folks who feel exactly as I do. Self-promote away!!!

It's an option, but it would require more self-promotion than I'm
comfortable with. The original book plan has been modified, and there's
bike content for sure. I probably won't say much about it, to avoid a major
public belly flop...but *I *think it'll be a good one. It's taking forever
because it's another "nights and weekend" book.

These days even established authors such as yourself/Grant are 
self-publishing. It seems to me you could do well down that path. Unless 
your new book is doomer fiction or a children's book  with no bicycle in it 
or something crazy like that. But you've thought of this already.

I read Bike Snob every day (actually I read the whole week on Saturday). He's 
very funny and almost as merciless on himself as he is on "Freds" and 
"tridorks." I've read all but his latest book, although I don't enjoy them 
nearly as much as his blog. He gives some neat NYC history too. And I 
definitely understood Bill Lindsay when he mentioned the Yogi Berra logic.

Re: [RBW] Re: Grant coached Bike Snob on today's blog post

[Peter Adler]

Let me Wikipedia that for you:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fop

Olof's got an excuse: "Fop", as a somewhat pejorative term for a 
fashion-conscious dandy/dilettante, appears to be a primarily English 
language term.

A "fop chariot", obviously, is a vehicle used to convey a fop around. Back 
in the day, it was probably something like a hansom cab or a Berlin, driven 
for the fops by some gin-soaked lower class lout. BSNYC's implication is 
that now, it's an expensive shiny bike which is never ridden more than two 
miles at a time: The distance from the condo to the hipster brewpub, or 
Whole Foods, or that cool new Uzbek-Ecuadoran fusion cafe. In his area, 
he's probably not completely wrong. He wouldn't be wrong in the Mission 
these days; probably not in large parts of Seattle, LA, Chicago, Austin or 
Boston, either.

For a bike/Riv tie-in, WP's See Also: list includes "hipster". Each of us 
might examine our own conscience, to draw whatever conclusions are 
appropriate.

"We don't carry Dapper Dan. We carry FOP."
It amuses me greatly to refer to my "fop chariot:" Quickbeam, Brooks, 
painted to match fenders and stem. It's apt. 

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at 
them in our turn?”

I quit Bike Snob cold turkey about six months ago, about the same time I 
turned off the email digests from this list. Seemed like there was more to 
spend my time on every single day. Turns out there wasn't. :^)
I went through phases of reading the comments. In the old days, they were 
funnier than the blog. 

Maybe I'll read today's, and then who knows what'll happen? I may lose my 
six-month chip.

Re: [RBW] Re: Grant coached Bike Snob on today's blog post

Fop chariot is a pretty ridiculous insult;   I've taken to calling my 
handbuilt frames (and the machines I built around them) "bespoke fop 
chariot(tm)"s (and a frame I replaced the rear triangle on as a sem-bespoke 
fop chariot) as a tip of the hat to the snob.Admittedly, I don't go 
quite as far down the rabbit hole as some of the bicycles as conspicuous 
consumption people and websites do, but poking fun at my own bicycle 
clutter isn't the most traumatic thing I've done to myself.

Re: [RBW] Re: Grant coached Bike Snob on today's blog post

[Patrick Moore]

BSNYC/Eban Weiss is faltering; it has been 10 years and he has done well to
keep the blog as interesting and humorous, generally, as he has done. But I
can't see him continuing more or less daily for much longer.

Still, while he can obviously be a jerk, he is also in general mordantly
funny, and that is pretty rare.

[RBW] Re: Grant coached Bike Snob on today's blog post

[Bob B]

I would respectfully disagree, Bill. I'm a daily reader (though I don't 
bother with the commenting; by the way, the dumb podium "FIRST" thing is 
not unique to his blog, but is rather common on blogs with lots of 
followers and active commenters). Most of what's amusing about the blog is 
his take on localized NYC-specific biking experiences, from dealing with 
traffic, terrible bike lane design, bike culture criticism, and really 
pleasant-to-read ride reports. Anyone who rides a bike for transportation 
(like me) in New York City probably gets more out of it than the west 
coasters here, so I understand why the blog doesn't have much of an appeal. 
NYC bike commuting is... another animal compared to California riding, and 
that's what the blog is about.

I'll also say that if you actually bother to read it, it can be super 
funny. And he shares Grant's penchant for taking a critical stance on bike 
industry marketing trends, often extending that commentary in the form of 
irreverent "product reviews" of ridiculously overcomplicated cycling 
accessories marketed on Kickstarter accounts.

Patrick Moore observes:

"I know many of you don't read BSNYC because of"

Most people who "don't read him" use the truly Yogi Berra - esque 
justification:  "I never read Bike Snob, because Bike Snob is never funny"
