onzatpro09 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Everyone knows hope is expensive and my bike is covered in purple hope parts Where I am, nobody has a clue about what Hope parts are, but still want to nick my bike because my purple Hope stuff looks nice I once got a death threat about the noise my freewheel and brakes were making (or something like that) while riding through my local shops, although I think it was more of the person doing it trying to be funny in front of his mates rather than an actual threat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 "Whats your bike worth?" Is a fairly common one. I always say "not a lot as the second hand market is crap" to put them off breaking in to my shed at a later date. This, every time! Never pick a value though, because even if you say 'you'd get £20 for it'.. That's 40 Richmond super kings, and in most of the ratty people that ask that kind of question, is worth stealing the bike for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 When asked how much its worth I tell them how many hours work I had to do to afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peggysue Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 A cool black dude who was amazed we didn't do this for money. After doing a gap he shouted out to all the usual people watching (it's a busy town corner) 'it's not magic, it's real, put some jingles in this shit' Actually have it on video loud and clear 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Can you do a backflip" Every. Single. Time. It's got to a point where I start rolling my eyes before they even finish saying it. I intend on curing this by simply landing bastardflips, cutting out the long winded explanation and proudly saying 'Yup', then moving on with me day. Nearly there but I'll see. Gotta stop landing on my kidneys/completely nailing meself 1st... Edited January 13, 2015 by CC12345678910 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pít Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 -Pretty big gummas, huh? -Yes... -A nail cannot punch it, huh? -No... -But if I stab my knife in it... -The I stab it into you. After a pretty big pedal up, some worker: -Ok, then do a wheelie now, kid. Some random (what can I say, a "hoe" - with 10 cm nails, massive makeup, etc.): -What you are doing is pointless. Why are you doing this? It has no sense. Guy with his son: -Look son, watch this, maybe he will fall and brake his neck. Old lady riding her bike in front of me, shaking her bars because the lack of control, yelling: -THIS IS DANGEROUS BIKING LIKE THIS, YOU THREAT EVERYONE! Another old lady: -Why are you doing this? By doing this, you put yourself forward. -What? -You put yourself forward in your life. Another old lady: -If I had money, I'd sponsor you. Drunk old women: -That was nice. me: Thank you. -Do you have any questions? me: No. -Ok, hello then. Riding with a 26" dude, someone: -I like the bigger bike because it has a frame. And I could continue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky111 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) A guy approached me and asked me about my bike and why it had pink wheels, I explained that it was second hand that the colour was of no consequence to me. After we had talked for a while, he then left me with the line "you've got the bright wheels, now all you need is the light of Jesus Christ in your life" it was like some kind of bizarre pick up line. 0_o Edited January 14, 2015 by rocky111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waybe2014 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Had a new one today. Guy was trying to talk to us but couldn't understand what he was saying then suddenly he said "look I have donuts" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
