Hmmmm ...

If I were a betting man I'd say this is the beginning of a promo for some new show on TLC or Bravo :cool:

Otherwise ... sorry, Lance ... and good luck finding a bike :)

Doesn't look like a bot, did a quick search of a couple of the text lines....

Maybe it is a show promo, but what could it hurt to offer some bike recommendations?

I would, however, keep it here though! No need for any linkage! ;)

w3rd?

Agreed on the grammar.

MMNYC, if you are really looking for help, this is not a "be kool" site. Just chill on the teen-speak. Also, we are not texting here, so go the extra half inch and type "to" instead of "2".

You are allowed to post however you like, but if you are really looking for help/advice, your current mode is half a step away from trolling...


Notice how many people here have answerd your questions so far! ;)

[lofter1]

Ok, I believe you ... apology proferred :cool:

Check this from Transportation Alternatives (http://www.transalt.org/files/resources/usedbike.html):

Getting a Used Bike — With No Bad Karma

And here for shops that sell used bikes (http://www.recycleabicycle.org/shops) in Brooklyn and the East Village:

Recycle-a-Bicycle

For a new bike it's hard to beat this shop (http://bicyclehabitat.com/) on Lafayette just north of Prince between SoHo / Little Italy:

You want to be a NYC bike messenger but need help finding a bike? Sounds like a setup for a tragedy to me... :)

Just checked out 'his' Myspace, there's no chance this guy can be for real.

[Ninjahedge]

Really.

I thought his page was "fkn 1337"

"In Da h0u53!!!!"

:rolleyes:

First off its just a MySpace and you shouldn't have to discriminate me because of my page OK? I haven't change my information in 8 months. I'm just trying new things because I'm tired of the same old jobs that this world has to offer. I am sorry if I speak like I do. I understand that this is a professional site but, I can't help if I type the way that I do. I hope that I didn't disrespect anyone in any way. I hope that you guys can understand that I'm me and hope that people will like me for me and not for how I type or speak.

I'm, really serious about doing this job. I really like to try new things and I love bike riding. I ride from town to town where I live at. I am not trying to disrespect the biking culture. I am just trying to build something up and show people that anyone can put their mind into something if they focus in life.

If you guys want to help me then I would appreciate it. But if not then I'll understand.

Thank You For Your Time

MessengerManNYC: Check out the places I linked above and let us know what you come up with.

And, c'mon, let's give the guy a break, fellas ...

Go to Dixon's Bike Shop on Union Street between 6th Ave & 7th Ave in Park Slope Brooklyn. It's a magnet for bike enthusiasts and those new to cycling. You can get a new bike, used bike, or a custom bike made to specs.
