Submitted by Andy on Wed, 2008-11-05 09:26.
Schmalz is off making Playdoh sculptures at father's day in kindergarten. I'm basking in the glow of...something that happened last night. So I propose a post partisan lovefest today, for today there are no climbers, today there are no sprinters, today we are all frighteningly myopic weekend warriors.

November = wet roads and leaves and possibly summer tyres still on. Bad combination. Throw in a glorious day which brings out every cyclist in the city and things get dicey.
And on saturday there was a rider hit by a car at tallman similar to this accident same time last year: http://benepesbikeblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/cyclist-hit-by-car-at-tallma...
Is there something about November that makes it so dangerous?
Riders,
This is 5PM Sunday night and a rider is currently at
Hackensack ICU listed as "John Doe". This accident
happen this morning on 9W. A rider name Rob is calling
around and try to help ID this "John Doe Rider".
Please do your best to circulate this email.
Rob can be reach at 201-481-5953.
This unfortunate rider is around 40-50 years old male
riding a black carbon Le Mond bike with Bontrager
wheelset. He is short with gray bear.
I am sorry to inform you this and hope someone can
help.

Nothing funny about grown adults fighting in spandex in public. This sport is becoming a disaster locally.
kiss much ass dude?
lattanzi it was funny bro, no worries & all the best. some good entertainment for all of us in the off-season ...
David and I have communicated in a civilized manner offline and everything is fine. Details of the incident are irrelevant at this point. Apologies from both of us for the disruption and any offensive behavior.

sorry andy. you know how it is ... it's our locker room, we need to snap towels ... you left us unsupervised! what'd you expect!
funny that were arguing about it and they seem to be long done.
Wow, so much for the lovefest. No we can't?
The lesson is self-evident. In every facet of life, do not provoke people you do not know. Their reactions may not be proportional - at all - to what you expect.
WHO THE FUCK CARES! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoops, i thought you meant this:
Guys, here I am speaking as moderator: the terms of use of this group
say:
"Use discretion in making commercial postings. Occasional for-sale ads
are fine, as are offers of services related to bike racing and
training. But please don't post the same information often. Please
preface for-sale ads with "FS" of For sale."
There is not a specific rule saying someone can or cannot post
something for which they make money. But participants must use
discretion and in particular do not re-post the same thing (especially
something not cycling related) often. Robert was on or over the edge
with that and I hope he avoids it in the future - leave a much bigger
gap.

The dude totally femmed out and called the police over a message. What a fuckin' bitch.

Note the second one.
This is the third installment of Pedalin’ On The ‘Net. The cycling site of Examiner.com is getting closer to the top 25 list and since we’re only slightly more than a month old, we’re feeling pretty good.
The first two posts of Pedalin’ On The ‘Net drew good reader comments, some a little biting, some thankful for getting the idea into the mix.
The number of cycling sites is perhaps only equaled by the number of ways to count web site traffic.
For the third installment of the list, I used statbrain.com today (11/5/2008). Some of the sites recommended by readers jumped pretty high onto the list. Some of the suggested sites didn’t make the list. Some sites’ numbers stayed nearly the same as the last tally; Other sites’ numbers fluctuated greatly.
Statbrain.com isn’t perfect. It reflects nearly indentical traffic numbers from my various sites with numbers from other traffic-measuring sites. It may not represent other sites’ numbers as accurately . . . Or perhaps the owners of the sites just like to think they get more traffic.
I don't work for statbrain.com. And here's what the site says it does:
"Statbrain estimates the number of visits that a website has based on offsite factors like backlinks, Alexa Rank etc. Statbrain does not have access to log files or any counter information. The number of visits that Statbrain estimates gives you an idea of the number of visits that a website has, but not the exact visitor number."
Hey, it's all about having at least a little fun, right?
One item of business: I’ve listed various favorite cycling sites on the front page of my Examiner.com site. I welcome the reciprocal favor. This site also has RSS feed capabilities, so please consider my site’s content as part of your site’s content. I have several RSS feeds on my site.
And, of course, please forward more of your favorite sites for the next installment of Pedalin’ On The ‘Net.

What kind of tea? Starbucks was out of Awake.
can't we all just get along and have some tea?
Geniune question yes, and the moderator pulled out the rulebook.
Is this a genuine question?
new cat. 5 guy should probably be more worried about training.
the new guy cared enough to whip out the CRCA mailing list rule book. and then JFT came to back him up!
people post apartments there all of the time. who the hell cares?
Lesson learned? Why would you assume that? What was the lesson?
Dont call me out on my off topic post or i will call you and threaten you? The dude is like 40 years old, calling people about a message board post like that is just well....sad.
not saying he had the right.
just saying if you're going to mouth off to someone you don't know - be prepared for consequences. new fish got taught a valuable lesson last night, for virtually free.
i don't see that problem with latanzzi taking it off line to have a little talk mano a mano after some newbie insults him publicly. the newbie then comes back on line looking for others to fight his battles.
"I'm not sayin he was right, but you're sayin a foot massage don't mean nothing, and I'm sayin it does.
I've given a million ladies a million foot massages and they all meant somethin. We act like they don't, but they do - that's what's so fuckin cool about em.
This sensual thing's goin on that nobody's talkin about, but you know it. And she knows it. Fuckin Marsellus knew it. And Antwan? Antwan shoulda known fuckin better. That's his fuckin wife, man. He ain't gonna have a sense of humor about that shit."
funny that the new guy comments actually caused more of a disruption than the apartment posting. people put things for sale and apartments there all the time.
Did you ever see someone walk into a garbage can because they weren't paying attention and then proceed to throw the garbage can in the middle of the street or kick it like the garbage can did something wrong.
Thats what happened.
you obviously are not subcribed to the CRCA mailing list.
what the hell are you people talking about?
the new CRCA member (i'm assuming since he is a cat 5) maybe should have kept his mouth shut--but what the fuck is lattanzi doing calling the guy? classic shit right there.
I hear you but, knowbody i dont care how long they have been riding circles around central park has the right to do that.
It's not about how long someone has been around and how long the other is. That makes no difference.
people have gotten lulled into complacency sitting at keyboards and typing things they wouldn't say in person. especially to people they don't know.
if you're going to take a lesson from last night, make it this: if you don't know someone, mind your business. and if you're not going to mind your business, mind your tone. and if you're not going to mind either your business or your tone, well - be prepared for unexpected consequences.
i am not advocating or defending anyone's actions (but i found the whole f-cking thing hysterical and i sincerely thank them both). but situations like that are easily avoidable, if you want to. also, one of the guys has been around the scene/community, and one (to my knowledge) hasn't. i think newbie should show some respect before speaking out of turn. so if the young pup got a little lickin ... i can live with that.
boring
If CRCA.net were anon, then nobody would've been called on the phone?
and that other guy is a bit hysterical.
If nothing else came out of that absurd email thread it was be damn sure you don't rent an apartment from that dude.
If doping makes one like Limbaugh, then I'm glad I'm clean.
Doper!
"Yes we can!"
Obama looks like he'd be a pretty good climber.
Listening to Rush Limbaugh have a meltdown, just for the fun of it.
Buh-Bye, suckers....
andy, surprised you're basking in the glow ... a JMcC win would've kept your girl in the spotlight for 4 more years ... no doubt ms. shen voted for O about 20x for the exact same reason
yawnn..... i saw something like that when setanta won the B cup
Will some Barak make me faster?
There was a massive diverse crowd of about 5k people celebrating outside an Obama campaign headquarters on Broadway in the 100's last night. They eventually flowed out into the street stopping traffic. People were cheering and setting off fireworks like it was new years. Then a huge group of young people (from Columbia U. someone said) marched down and merged with the larger group causing a NYC bus to stop in the middle of the swarm of revelers. The bus could not proceed but instead of complaining the New Yorkers on this bus stuck their heads out the window and cheered the crowd on. The crowd then roared back.
Never seen anything like it. Very cool.it.
looking for an apartment to rent, mebbe something close to the GWB. fort lee, perhaps. i'll even pay a small fee. anyone have any suggestions? feisty landlord not an issue...
