The Little Bike that Could
Saturday, January 19, 2008 by Unknown
So my roommate has this busted up bike that just camps on our balcony porch area. It's disgusting. It's rusted, the wheels have no traction, and the air pressure is out. But best of all, it has a white plastic bag with "VONS" in capital letters on the seat.
Now you see, we live on the second floor. It really doesn't make sense to drag a bike up and down a flight of stairs(unless it's part of your fitness regime, which it isn't). We are talking about a guy who says in regards to exercise, "Yeah, I guess it's kinda healthy..." Now the question arises, "Why would you do this!?! This is madness ( not Sparta?)" We have a perfectly nice bike rack with other bikes in the garage.
One time, I got permission to use the bike. I tested the bike in the parking lot and decided it was worth shit. I got off and locked it up on the bike rack near a bundle of other bikes. I go back to my room where I am confronted by the owner of the bike.
him: "Hey where'd you put my bike?"
me: " I locked it up downstairs"
him:" Oh don't do that, it's not safe"
me: *What the fuck are you talking about? *" Sure it is, there are other bikes there as well"
him:" Well they might get stolen.."
me: * No shit, who the fuck would want to steal your bike anyways?*" Whatever dude"
him:" Can you go get it for me, and bring it upstairs?"
me:* FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!* "No thanks, I think it's fine where it is."
My next plan of action is to get the bike removed from the balcony and back into the garage.
Will keep you posted.
