Hey, big hijack here, but have you checked Finger Jetty on any of these latest swells? Seriously good bar right now and REALLY good for the kids. Been taking them over there whenever I can.

I know more than a few of those cyclists that will surf circles around you in the water 2'-20', and ride circles around you on a moto track (yes you half man trail putt putt). Then again most of the mouths on here don't do either well so I guess it's not that big of a deal...

What's humorous is the same lycra fag that you might throw a broom handle into his front spokes might be the same guy that could pwn you out in the water. That guy could also be an ex pro moto, golden glove boxer, etc.
For no reason I've had golf balls thrown at me from opposing traffic, had change thrown at me, drinks thrown on me, been buzzed, pinched into the gutter, spit on, blatantly cut off, yelled at, etc - all because some fvcking dickhead like you thought it was funny. Maybe you're one of the guys who's cars I knocked a rear view mirror off of when I unexpectedly caught up to you at a light. Now that was funny...
Hate to break it to you but surfers are just as big of kooks as cyclists, you just think you're different/better.
[end rant]
Did you actually think I was SERIOUS about the broom handle?
Jesus. F*cking. Christ.
Jesus. F*cking. Christ.... You have a stupid sense of humor.
Learn about the concept of hyperbole.
I'm sorry the chip on your shoulder is so goddamn huge that you view even a joke as a personal attack. I'm honestly wondering if you didn't do more on the road to warrant having so much sh*t thrown at you. Obviously that sucks but that's not normal at all to have that happen, not on the regular basis that you portray.
Neat word... but mebbe I aint smarts enough to understand how it rationalizes your stupid humor.
Spend hundreds of hours in a bike lane/road shoulder riding very conscientiously in a beach community and you find that there are plenty of dickheads who have your same sense of humor.
Think about how fvcked your average driving experience is. Lack of common sense/common courtesy. Now picture it many times more dangerous, with drivers more than willing to gamble your life... let alone fvck with you.
Yea, I've got a chip on my shoulder alright.

hijack away, this thread needs it all thanks for the heads up, too big for the groms, almost took them to villa and thought about the finger/corner/widow but didn't go............gonna try and get them out there tonight, they are jonesing to get out.
i surfed today out in my neck of the woods, tried to hit it late to avoid some of the crowd, and did, but wind and tide got to it.....still fun though.

Yeah, it's something so obviously over the top that there's no way you could take it seriously. I've never even seen anyone throw anything at a bicyclist while on the road. And who carries a broom in their car? I mean, of all the people on this thread to snap at, you snap at ME? I mean, seriously.
The funny part of this whole exchange is that I am pretty damn courteous to both motorcycles and bicyclists. I may not always appreciate the latter taking up a whole lane but I'll give them the room they need.
Chips aren't healthy. I'm sorry your bike commute is so treacherous. Isn't there a bike path (beach or otherwise) that you can take to reduce the risk? Keep in mind that a lot of people flat-out aren't paying attention behind the wheel.

and speaking of pedestrian walking out, i had one do this to me in downtown morro bay. i was slowly driving through the intersection after a stop when this lady walks out into the intersection, she starts losing her mind and screaming at me. i wasn't even close to her, i gave her the wave that i was sorry.............she still yelled at me as she made it to the curb, and i still apologized, even when i wised i had ran her over......kidding of course. i think she was mentally unstable
GWS would have MOWED that bitch.
And, I'm STILL holding my breathe.
Yeah, because punching the accelerator and mowing down a crazy pedestrian is the exact same thing as slowing down to let someone who is threatening to hit you hit you.
Stop holding your breathe. It's obviously causing drain bamage!
And nobody in their right mind carries a broom stick in the car.

I ride my bike on highways and in town at least 5 hours a week and have never had anything thrown at me or yelled at me, other than honks from people I know.
I have also not yelled at or thrown anything at anyone whilst on my bike.

And, you wouldn't have to punch the accelerator, really. You could just "tap" it.

It must have something to do with attitude.
I am going to go out on a limb though and suggest that the area you live in is a LOT more mellow than it is in LA.

It is sick and pathetic for anyone in a motor vehicle to attempt or succeed in injuring anybody...bike, walking, whatever. People who do such things should have a bullet put in their head.

This is why I am convinced most cyclists are very low IQ humans. I cannot count how many times I see cyclists acting like they are invincible attempting to hog the road versus 3 ton SUV's driven by soccer moms talking on cellphones and texting their hairdresser at the same time...

Just like in sailing, you never try to pass in front of a freighter. Or worse, in between the tug and barge.

Well, I think about half the population should have a bullet put in their head. And anyone who registers the handle "The DogBoob" should be the first one to get it. I mean DogBoob? Are you ***** serious? Just shoot yourself and save somebody the trouble.

what time do you usually get on the road for your ride home?

Not remotely comparable. I used to get things like the car load of little boogers who buzz you from a couple feet away doing 70mph screaming fag at you only to turn right at creek a 1/2 mile ahead ... or the 909'er in the little d!ck truck who comes to HB for the day and thinks it's funny while driving pch to slow down and and try to pinch you out of the bike lane and into the sand.
Tens of thousand of miles on a bike in my area and you get pretty sick of it.
what time do you usually get on the road for your ride home?
Leaving in a 1/2 hour, for an hour ride. You wouldn't make it in time.
Maybe Thursday, if you're not out of breathe.
It's a date!
And I have had stuff thrown at me. The last incident (which I believe I wrote about in here) was when somebody threw a half eaten cheeseburger at me. Pretty standard to have at least one attempt on my life every other 7 mile commute to work. Many of them are cell phone related. A lot of the other ones are people that just hate cyclists and go out of their way to screw with them.

Gotta love those 909'ers, right Rice?
Fair enough, I hear you, yeah, I can see how a lot of that might make you a little grumpy. Just don't take it out on me, OK?
Let me advise you to never, ever, ride your bike on Jamboree. I honestly don't see anyone doing that twice a day and living a week. I'd be shocked. I still can't believe I got rearended (a car, not a bike) sitting at a red light. I didn't just get there either, it was a good 15-20 seconds.

Bicycles don't pollute the planet. They don't rely on foreign oil. They don't contribute to any demise of the planet or it's inhabitants. They should be given more respect than anyone in a car. They are part of the solution. Anybody that does not recognize this needs their head examined.

Spandex, or elastane, is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. It is stronger and more durable than rubber, its major non-synthetic competitor.[citation needed] It is a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer that was invented in 1959 by chemist Joseph Shivers at DuPont's Benger Laboratory in Waynesboro, Virginia. When first introduced, it revolutionized many areas of the clothing industry.
"Spandex" is a generic name and not derived from the chemical name of the fiber, as are most manufactured fibers, but an anagram of the word expands.[1] "Spandex" is the preferred name in North America; in many European countries it is referred to as "elastane".
A brand name associated with spandex is Lycra.
Other spandex trademarks include Elaspan (also Invista's), ROICA & Dorlastan (Asahi Kasei), Linel (Fillattice), and ESPA(Toyobo).
Contents [hide] 1 Spandex fiber production 1.1 Solution dry spinning 2 Major spandex fiber uses 3 Spandex in popular culture 3.1 Superheroes 3.2 '70s/'80s rock/metal 3.3 70s/80s country 3.4 Science fiction 4 See also 5 References
Spandex fiber production Spandex fibers are produced in four different ways, including melt extrusion, reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, and solution wet spinning. All of these methods include the initial step of reacting monomers to produce a prepolymer. Once the prepolymer is formed, it is reacted further in various ways and drawn out to produce a long fiber. The solution dry spinning method is used to produce over 90% of the world's spandex fibers.[2]
Solution dry spinning Step 1: The first step is to produce the prepolymer. This is done by mixing a macroglycol with a diisocyanate monomer. The two compounds are mixed together in a reaction vessel to produce a prepolymer. A typical ratio of glycol to diisocyanate is 1:2.[2]
Step 2: The prepolymer is further reacted with an equal amount of diamine. This reaction is known as chain extension reaction. The resulting solution is diluted with a solvent to produce the spinning solution. The solvent helps make the solution thinner and more easily handled, and then it can be pumped into the fiber production cell.
Step 3: The spinning solution is pumped into a cylindrical spinning cell where it is cured and converted into fibers. In this cell, the polymer solution is forced through a metal plate called a spinneret. This causes the solution to be aligned in strands of liquid polymer. As the strands pass through the cell, they are heated in the presence of a nitrogen and solvent gas. This process causes the liquid polymer to react chemically and form solid strands.[2]
Step 4: As the fibers exit the cell, an amount of solid strands are bundled together to produce the desired thickness. Each fiber of spandex is made up of many smaller individual fibers that adhere to one another due to the natural stickiness of their surface.[2]
Step 5: The resulting fibers are then treated with a finishing agent which can be magnesium stearate or another polymer. This treatment prevents the fibers' sticking together and aids in textile manufacture. The fibers are then transferred through a series of rollers onto a spool.
Step 6: When the spools are filled with fiber, they are put into final packaging and shipped to textile manufacturers.
Major spandex fiber uses
Spandex leggings as casual wearApparel and clothing articles where stretch is desired, generally for comfort and fit, such as: athletic, aerobic, and exercise apparel swimsuits/bathing suits competitive swimwear netball bodysuits bra straps and side panels ski pants disco jeans slacks hosiery leggings socks diapers skinny jeans belts underwear dance belts worn by male ballet dancers and others Compression garments such as: surgical hose support hose cycling shorts wrestling singlet rowing unisuit foundation garments motion capture suits
If that ain't dependant on foriegn oil I'll return my Boar Spear!
