Forum Overview :: Rants :: Re: Bicyclists are Assholes.

[quote name="Roop"]I attended Indiana University, Bloomington in the eighties, not long after that bicycle movie set there, Breaking Away. You know the movie, the evil frat boys have this world class bicycle race and the underdog Cutter team made up of local boys (with a kid pretending to be Italian) pull ahead at the last minute to win or something like that. Well, that was all bullshit. First of all, yes, the fratboy bicycling assholes WERE douchebags. But the Cutter team was never made up of yahoo local boys. The Cutters weren't the local boys cutting sandstone on the side, they stopped doing that in the fifties. Nope, the "underdog" Cutters team was made up entirely of actual Italian douchebags, and they always won. Because they were never underdogs. They weren't college students, they were pros, and they came to town to kick everybody's asses. And they always did. The local boys were outside town getting drunk at the Rac N Que poolhall bar. I never attended the Little 500 bicycle race, because it was comprised of douchebag fratboy underdogs versus worldclass European douchebags. Cutters my ass. The best part was the poor motherfuckers who thought they could drive their cars that month. The streets became a slow wave of peddling douchebaggery.[/quote]
