    He seems so much sadder now. It's a good thing he's not advocating drinking and riding anymore though, it was really starting to mess up the city's values. I feel safer.

    He needs a briefcase or something.

    I always thought that a beer would have been more "Portland"...

    There is an extremely offensive "bicon" on 39th and SE Taylor. The image of cyclist wearing a Santa hat might be very offensive to jewish people. Also, he doesn't have a helmet on. What is that teaching our children?
    When is that one scheduled to be removed?

    Poo indeed.

    Now he looks like a snakeoil merchant. Add a briefcase and the look will be complete. Or maybe it's the Pringles guy.

    He needs a cigarette to match his frown.

    I felt bad because I was a biker who had no drink, until I met a biker who had no liver.

    You are definitely sober if you can drink from a martini glass while you ride.

    There's a difference between "sober" and "experienced." With practice, you should be able to ride a fixed-gear mountain bike without spilling a drink.

    Clearly, it was sparkling cider.

    i cant believe they got rid of one silly martini glass, but didnt change either the crack pipe by "crackhead biker" over near north park blocks, or the syringe by "hipster musician biker" near belmont. seems pretty arbitrary to me.

    hmmm, censored the martini glass but left the syringe and the crack pipe alone...this crime is either a result of heartless discrimination against the rich white elite, OR a desperate act perpetrated BY the rich white eilte to hide the secret to their power.

    This is so obvious: imagine BIKERS drinking MARTINIS. would this not produce a sort of Neitchean "Uber-man"? completely toppling the status quo as Homo Sapien displaced Erectus?

    Long live Homo Velox!
