Ride Lugged

conversely, you could be the coolest cat in the world, but if you drive a honda, wear gap clothing, and ride a specialized allez with 105 parts, i’m probly not gunna relate. how could i? people need visual identifiers to see if and how they relate to someone. ie suits vs punks vs mods, its all a form of visual identification. how am i to know if you are aminable to my mental style if i cant relate to your physical choices in the world? yes that amounts to abject consumerism, i know, and i know thats not very pinko of me, apologies to all. we are like a book with an interesting cover, only to be opened by the right reader. lets make this an indiana jones analogy: by flying the right colours, or dressing a certain way, we allow strangers to in essence, “choose wisely”, and thereby advert the horrible consequences that result from talking to a heel. your bike bling is your societal crutch, nick and i wouldnt have met if he rode an allez, and had no interest in my bling, or cory’s bling, ect ect.
