// Performance

Posted on Thursday, October 29th, 2009

This video has been floating around for a while…yet I’ve hesitated to endorse it by posting it here until now. I’m finally breaking down because the song is just so catchy!

I will first clarify points I disagree with:

  1. I will probably never drop five grand on a bike. Ever. I only buy parts with pro-deals, discounts, and on e-bay.
  2. A steel frame from 1988 is a perfectly fine thing, so long as it’s quality.
  3. Hipsters.  I really hate the pants, the tiny handle bars, and the fixed gear bikes. But the messenger bags are cool. I mean, every commuter needs one of those, they’re ergonomically correct! Even MC SpandX should understand that.
  4. I’m not sure it really is all about performance. Sometimes I like to ride just for fun
  5. Objectifying women by having them pump tires in unzipped jerseys isn’t nice. It sets unreasonable standards for the rest of us who only unzip our jerseys until after we’ve gotten hot while riding, not just to make MC SpandXlook like he can get the ladies.

Ok, aside from those 5 points, I pretty much love this video.
