THE NERVE OF THESE PEOPLE

[lownslow]

The Chicagoland Bike Federation (a rival club) asked me to forward this message to the Rat list. I guess they're afraid if we wear our colors, there might be a rumble . . . I WANNA RUMBLE ALREADY NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE ASKS ME TO PUT MY COLORS DOWN CAPISH

Yes--CBF has a float in the St. Ratrick's Day parade, and I think freekbikes and parades are

fuck yeah

One simple solution: Don't ride with the CBF.

Don't get me wrong... They're sweet decent folks who do *really* *good* *work* for the entire Chicago cycling community...

but...

why not just avoid them? We'll ride in somewhere else... colors 'n' all!

I see your point but I think it is seriously fucking offensive of them to say "gee we could really use some rat creativity, just as long as you don't actually represent as rats." At the very least it demonstrates an astounding level of cluelessness.

Yup, they're pretty clueless. Whaddaya expect from a lawyer?

Scallywags couldn't ride in the Mpls May Day parade because their jackets said "JESUS IS LORD"

in my days

say wha? don't just ride somewhere else avoiding them, i suggest crashing their parade. sudden rat infestation cutting in front of them at some random point in the parade would be low, and trashy. exactly why we need to do it.
