Red River Bike Rally

[pru]

I should ride my bike down

[anticlmber]

bikers getting railed is funny. i've been hit, wrecked and airlifted, swerved at, etc. it comes with the turf of climbing on a little piece of metal and rubber.


its funny when you come out on on the other side.

[mcrib]

ya until you are visiting someone at the er because they were hit by some stupid bitch too busy talking on the phone to see anyone riding a bike. there is nothing funny about someone getting fucked up. do you laugh when someone takes a ground fall? same fucking thing

[anticlmber]

situational, all situational.

in the case of getting hit by someone else, not too funny. although i (as well as others) found my accident to be laughable.

if you F yourself up, such as the guy going through the tunnel, than yes, some humor is there. fuck man, if we can't laugh at the bad what can we laugh at?

as for groundfalls. not as funny but how many times have you, you, me, or you walked away instead of doing something because we "don't want to get involved" or "see some fucked up shit"
that is where the humor is lost.

Wow, let's hope he doesn't engineer anything people use. What an ass.

[ScrmnPeeler]

Let's clear things up:

Ground falls = not awsome.
Getting hit by someone driving while on the phone = not awsome.
Rolling yourself on a road bike and getting up to do it again = awsome.

You guys are awfully sensitive. Maybe that post wasn't worded very well. I don't like seeing people get hurt but the guy was ultimately fine. He walked away.

I rode my Mbike every day when i lived in VA and have fucked my own shit up a few times if it makes you feel any better.

Yes, it was awsome every time.

I've ridden through the tunnel, AWESOME! The best part about riding through it is imagining what will happen if you hit the walls you can't see.

Now we know.

I almost passed a car on the way down the hill on the other side (Gorge side) but the guy kept blocking me.
