What the anarchistic bikers fail to recognize is that Hummer owners have the means($$) to buy most any bicycle they want- not that piece of crap Hummer bike. One of the Alfonsos was telling me the details of the story last night and said they've actually sold very few of the bikes. They usually give them away for raffles & charities.
On a side note, I find this story sort of funny, in that the biker snobs will dump on the poor fugly pos Hummer bike, but rally around the "rights" of some biking retard to zoom around the city in & out of traffic on a fixed gear bicycle without any kind of braking mechanism.

More West Coast dribble. Must be a slow news day to have that on the front page. It's no wonder I won't buy that paper.

How much of a loser does one have to be to get their panties ruffled over the Hummer bike?

Apparently carrying a keg of beer no less.

Now I remember why I never read the Oregonion. I'm glad Alfonso gave them the shaft!
