While cruising around Los Angeles on Labor day and stopped at one of the many traffic lights Los Angeles has to offer, I noticed the cyclist in front of me. What makes him VERY noticeable are the two wheels he has attached to his back pack.
My first thought was – “Great… guy stealing bike wheels”. But if you take a close look at him, he’s a legit cyclist. I took a picture from inside my car to share with ya’ll.
I SUSPECT that they are a spare set of road tires for his bike (which I THINK had mountain-type-y tires on).
Any other ideas on what is going on here?
nice legs
I think you’re right. On a full-susser with off-road tyres whilst carrying red-rimmed (nice!) wheels with hybrid type tyres… either for his current steed or the commuter bike he’s building in his garage.
Or… he’s paranoid about punctures and has never learned what tyre levers are for.
Or… he’s playing a practical joke on his training partner, who unbeknownst to him has had his flash wheels replaced with circa 1970s solid rubber ones.
And his legs aren’t that great.
Susser? Tyres? You aren’t state side! 😀 What does susser mean? Great word
Sorry! Insert your own meaning, from suspenSION to suspenDERS. Depoending on your mood / frame of mind!
Those are actually propellers for his hidden uhh… gyrocopter. They tuck back and overlap when not in active use.
OK Now that would be super cool!
where are the new posts, love?
You are right, been slacking. Got the next two weeks covered for posts. 🙂
