Listener comments!

  9:05am
DKC:

Is the right channel down? Sounds great in mono.
  9:13am
bobw:

weird. i just adjusted the channel output level and it went back to stereo.
  9:13am
DetroitMac:

Hi Bob: Are you taking questions for your interview with the BikeSnob section of the show yet?
  9:13am
dc pat:

funny: "What are birds...we just don't know..."
  9:14am
Duke:

H 20? H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H?

I'm not drinking that stuff. Only Dihydrogen monoxode for me.
  9:15am
LizGig:

So did someone get paid to see what happens when you boil an egg? Why can't I find these jobs?
  9:16am
bobw:

1. google "look around you" to see the video for this amazingly demented show. adult swim has aired the series.
2. yes! questions for the bike snob nyc! email them!
  9:19am
LizGig:

Ah. It's British comedy. That explains a lot.
  9:25am
dc pat:

Excellent, bikesnob. What does bikesnob think about Alexandre Vinokourov winning Liege-Bastogne-Liege?
  9:30am
north guinea hills:

Where are these Instruments from?
  9:31am
DetroitMac:

For the Snob: 1st, Thanks for giving me so much pleasure. I quite enjoy your writings and comments on the bike scene (all hail the Lobster God - in melted butter may he lay). One point I would like to contribute: I have been a long time rider and racer, both in and out of NYC. Regardless if I am commuting or riding for pleasure, I try to wear the brightest clothing I can. Studies show drivers of other vehicles give cyclists a little wider berth if the cyclist is wearing bright clothing. I also think: " they can't say they didn't see me if the run me over". Any remarks on this, Snob? And can I ask you, have you noticed an increased hostility to cyclists since the downturn in the economy - especially this spring? I have had more than the usual number of dangerous encounters with drivers this spring, when my only crime was being a cyclist riding on the side of a country road.
  9:33am
paul:

lala.com used to let you swap cds with other people for a dollar each, i got hundreds and hundreds of cds that way, tons of stuff i've never even found in stores, i don't know why people were just giving them away. but then the site switched to being mp3-centric so all that ended.
  9:36am
LSH:

Question for bike snob: I want to get my first bike for riding in the city - mainly for getting around Brooklyn on the weekends, but also longer trips to the beach and maybe some commuting. What kind of bike should I get? I'm low on funds...
  9:46am
dc pat:

HEY! I just saw yer note BobW! The "CanadiENz" are going DOWN! What kind of name is that anyway??. GO CAPS!
  9:51am
DetroitMac:

To LSH: I can answer some of your question. If you are getting a bike that you are planning to lock on the street, get one you will not get too upset about if it gets stolen. An old used english 3 speed style bike is good for the beginner riding you plan. Do you have any bike friends to help you check the bike out before you buy? I would also recommend you try to get out to the Lehigh Valley Velodrome (Bike Track) in eastern PA for their annual bike flea market on May 8th. It is a great place to get all sorts of bike stuff inexpensively. The URL for the market is: http://www.thevelodrome.com/swapmeets.php
  9:53am
LSH:

Thanks detroitmac! I do have some bikey friends - they'd probably come with me to the flea market.
  10:05am
dc pat:

"biking" gets confused with fekkin motorcycles. cycling is it.
  10:05am
DetroitMac:

What club do you race for (do you do any of the local club races?) and what is your category level?
  10:11am
dahoned:

mr.bike - how do you feel 'bout all them dahons on the road lately?
  10:14am
wilson:

In the US yearly 37,000 people are killed in car accidents, and 650 are killed in bicycle accidents. In NYC pedestrians are in far more danger than cyclists, with 258 killed last year compared to 37 cyclists.
  10:17am
dc pat:

wilson: thanks Mr. Numbers. Those are interesting statistics, where'd you get them?
  10:21am
scotts:

can you attempt to make the hipsters, triathletes and other new road cyclists aware that blowing a stop sign effects the image of ALL cyclists by the driver witnessing the lack of law abiding riding.
  10:24am
Parq:

This came up years ago on the old FMU message board. Where does this notion come from that, if you're not with the bikers you're with the car and truck drivers? Every single person who gets around Manhattan on foot with any regularity has had a close call with a bike. And I could count on one hand the times I've seen a cyclist stop for a red light.
  10:24am
biketoworkdad:

who do i call if i get hit by a cab
  10:25am
wilson:

http://www.car-accidents.com/pages/stats/2000_how_killed_type.html

shows similar numbers—my stats were from 2008 but I can't recall the origin
  10:25am
thegock:

What kind of tail light do you run?
  10:25am
dale:

i ride a motorcycle and wear a dayglo construction vest over my jacket. you can get them at any work clothing place or army navy store (or walmart if you're not opposed).
  10:26am
thegock:

What bike forums do you follow?
  10:27am
thegock:

When are you doing a signing in NJ?
  10:28am
btwd:

hey thegock : get this http://www.knog.com.au/
  10:28am
dben1551@aol.com:

why are the most inconsiderate riders the one that never wear a helmet or have lights?
  10:28am
popo:

talk all monday AM? even if this was interesting it would not be
  10:31am
popo:

ok, not so bad
  10:31am
Randy Lovelace:

Your thoughts on the NY Times bike column yesterday? It looks to be a new column in the Times, but I'm dying to have your thoughts.
  10:34am
Big X Portland, Maine:

Bike Snob
Why do rides of bikes feel that they don't need to follow the rules of the road?
  10:36am
Scott:

I really enjoy your blog it's one of the few things taht makes me laugh out loud, however Coming from the suburbs (Hartford, Connecticut)I often find it hard to relate to.

In the suburbs we see less bikes and I'm almost viewed as a freak for commuting and running errands by bicycle. I was hit by an inattentive motorist in January who believed they had the right of way when they clearly did not. When the police came they cared very little for the accident and failed to even file on the police report that I was a cyclist.

Even though cyclists have the same rights as motorists do you view were viewed as second class citizens when using the road ways?
  10:36am
dc pat:

Parq: I just think on the us vs them debates, their are jerks on all sides. Pedestrians regularly walk out in front of my bike against the red light and then they are SHOCKED that they are almost hit. But there are dick cyclists too.

Big X: because NObody follows any rules now. How many time have I been almost hit by an SUV flying through a red light?? Lots.
  10:36am
fady:

I have to say that Bob W. is doing a horrible job with this interview. Granted this is not the shedding great light on th bike snob. But this is not his medium.
  10:38am
dc pat:

fady: have to disagree, I'm enjoying it.
  10:38am
wilson:

fady: That's true! Reading his blog is approx 50 times more entertaining. He didn't even say "pants yabbies" yet!
  10:40am
VitoSBrevis:

Even though most of today's comments will do more to dissuade people from dusting off their bikes and giving it a go, remember to practice before you head out in traffic. If you have not ridden in years, take a few trips away from people and cars before you try to share space with them. You need to be sharp. (Also, remember that men wearing tights just sets some people off.)
  10:40am
fady:

Bob needed to prepare better for this interview. Ask about Contador's finger banging or Foffing off. Anything down hi aisle
  10:41am
Big X:

dc pat
It is true that few follow the rules but it seems that folks on bikes should at least ride on the proper side of the road.
  10:42am
WILSON:

when I was a bike messenger in 1999 I felt safer riding the wrong way down one way streets because then you could at least see the cars coming. I felt like the more aggressive/crazy I rode, the more visible I was and the less chance I had of being hit. Now I chilled out a bit, but stopping at red lights is out of the question.
  10:47am
thegock:

NUCK TATS
  10:49am
dc pat:

My biggest concern, as a cyclist who generally follows rules, is dirvers talking on cell phones (illegal in DC), and ignoring red lights. This is highly dangerous activity. Cyclists blowing off rules is mildly annoying at worst.
  10:50am
JTKMDNY:

I ride my bike back and forth to work each day. I ride frp, Staten Island to Mid-Town Manhattan. What is needed is a separate north and south bound street. While the east and west side bike lanes are good, they are very inconveniemt if you work near park avenue. This would also remove cars from the equation although pedestriams would still be an issue. Hopefully, cyclislts would provide greater respect for their rights when only battling one obstacle
  10:50am
DetroitMac:

Does anybody remember riding the old elevated West Side Highway after a section collapsed and it was only open to Peds and cyclists in 1976. What a fantastic commute ride from Chambers St. to 59th St with no traffic and a elevated view of the Hudson River.
  11:12am
bobw:

i need to prepare more for the interview? er.... i read the author's book. that's 223 pages of preparing.
  11:15am
dc pat:

I think it was cool bobw. EXCEPT, you didn't ask MY question about Vinokourov...
  11:26am
mike noble / bikewobble:

if those bikes were pipe bombs, sure was smart to throw them all on the back of a gas-loaded truck. then store them over the weekend in the middle of a police precinct.
  11:33am
mike noble:

dc pat-- i'm a daily bike commuter in NYC, but i might be moving to DC in the next year. is it as great as i've heard (totally flat)? will it make me want to ride singlespeed everywhere?
  11:36am
bobw:

ah, d.c. pat, you've gotten enough attention this morning! heh heh! but sorry that i didn't get to your question. although it may have seemed like a long interview, it went by really quickly on this side of the radio. and about the bike pipe bomb thing - i can understand the concern, but regardless, it seems a dumb way to handle the situation... unless there was a specific threat, which we would never know.
  11:45am
Sean Daily:

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!
  11:48am
dc pat:

mike: it's pretty good--lots more bike lanes than when I moved here. Not totally flat though. I live up on a hill so, for instance, going downtown for me is flying down Mass Ave. but climbing back up all liquored up after happy hour is always fun.
  11:53am
mike noble:

DC-- as flat or flatter than NYC? i've heard people say nyc is flat, but i see plenty of hills in my travels. good condition to the roads? also, who do the caps play next round?
  11:59am
dc pat:

uh...let's see maybe not as flat as NYC. Roads are ok but some are bad. Always have to watch out for potholes. Not sure about the caps..not really a big hockey fan.
  12:19pm
bobw:

bike lights: beware the tiny knog! i lost two of them in the span of a month! and they're expensive! i went with the far less expensive version that trek makes.
