    This is the blog that i founf this on. I didnt write it but i thought the shit was comedy!!!
    http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/02/10/61-bicycles/

    A good place to find white people on a Saturday is at a Bike Shop. Bike shops are almost entirely staffed and patronized by white people!

    But not all white people love bicycles in the same way, there is much diversity. First up, we have the younger urban white folks who absolutely love their fixed gear bicycles. These are seen all over college towns, Silverlake in LA, Williamsburg in Brooklyn, Queen West in Toronto, and Victoria, British Columbia. Fixed gear bicycles meet a lot of requirements for white person acceptance. They can be made from older (i.e. vintage) bicycles, thus allowing the rider to have a unique bike that is unlikely to be ridden by anyone else in town. They are also easily customizable with expensive things Aerospoke rims, Phil Wood Hubs, and Nitto Parts. The combination of rare bicycles and expensive parts makes it easy for white people to judge other white people on the quality and originality of their bicycles. This is important in determining if someone is or isn’t cooler than you.

    White people also like Mountain Bikes because it lets them be in nature. It’s really not more complicated than that.


    And finally, they love expensive Road Bikes and the accompanying spandex uniforms. This enables them to ride long distances and wear really tight clothes without any social stigmas. These types of riders will spend upwards of $5,000 on a bicycle and up to $400 on accessories, but will not ride to work. Perhaps because they cannot wear the spandex. It is important that you never question why someone needs a $5000 bicycle since the answer is always “performance.”

    For the most part, these rules have been unisex. But there is a special category of bicycles that appeal far more to white women, the European city bike (pictured). White women have a lot of fantasies about idealized lives, and one of them is living in Europe and riding around an old city on one of these bikes. They dream about waking up and riding to a little cafe, then visiting bakeries and cheese shops and finally riding home to prepare a fancy meal for their friends who will all eat under a canopy with white Christmas lights. This information can be used to help gain the trust/admiration of a white woman, especially if you can pull off a lie about how your mother told you about how she used to do all of these things when she was younger.

    And of course, it goes without saying that white people who ride bikes like to talk about how they are saving the earth. If you know a person who rides to work, you should take them aside and say “Hey, thanks. Sincerely, The Earth.” Then give a thumbs up. That white person will ride home on a cloud.

    White people do not ride bikes from Walmart. A white person may BUY a bike from Walmart, but it will not get ridden. White people also do not ride "low rider" bikes with lots of twisted chrome and 80 spoke count wheels.

    I feel so sad that I cannot fit into those categories. I was hoping I could do the whole European cheese shop thing. = /

    firstly, I know a bunch of white kids that ride low rider bicycles... and take alittle too much pride in them.
    secondly, I ride a bike, and I dont really give a shit about 'going green' or 'sustainability'... I ride because I cant afford a car.
    Living in any area will have its own demographic... in a bike shop in Newark, NJ probably not to many white people, a bike shop in the Hampton's, NY probably a lot of white people.

    Wow...What a load of crap!

    I have an expensive road bike and never ride to work anymore because when you bust your ass on a bike for 12 hours over the weekend and a few hours every morning/evening on the trainer, or on the road, the last thing you wanna do is fucking ride to work.

    If you did a black people blog that was similar to this, like I never see white people who sleep with basketballs and a crack pipe, I think I'd be hunted down by the PC police. There's a thing called reverse racism going on here and frankly it's stupid. They don't call it stereotyping for nothing.

    this is a thoroughly racialized nation. how young or idealized are you to expect equality?

    I think it was funny. You people are uptight, and as the exclusive scraper bike dealer in the Denver Metro area..... I would like to sell you all scraper bikes.

    Hey I'm not upset by any means, just pointing out the double standard. Oh and I'm no kid trust me I used the word 'frankly'... ;>)

    Uh, guys? Modern race theory has been developing for decades. Y'all suck at it and this is a crappy place to discuss it.
