I love Bike Snob NYC for many reasons, one of which is writing this good:

But as cruel a fate as that may be, he knew perfectly well when he swung a Docker-clad leg over that gel saddle, flipped up the kickstand with the heel of his Rockport, and set out on his way to the comic book store that he risked feeling the cruel sting of Anserine ire.

And lest you think I’m making fun of other cyclists, I will come clean and admit that while I don’t wear Dockers, I have flipped up my kickstand with my Rockport on the way to the comic book shop.

If you’d like even more BSNYC, give a listen to his appearance on our podcast, The RocBike Review.

Jason Crane interviews the man known only as Bike Snob NYC. Since launching his blog in June 2007, BSNYC has become hugely popular for his biting wit, fearless parody and willingness to look at thousands of ugly bikes to find the best few to eviscerate. In this interview, he tackles the tough questions, including:

• What’s up with top tube pads?
• Where have all the Aerospokes gone?
• Is Fixed Gear Gallery evil?
• How do you find a bike that looks like Molly Ringwald?
• Does appearing in Bicycling mean BSNYC has sold out? (Hint: No.)

(The theme song for The RocBike Review is “The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side” by The Magnetic Fields. Visit them at The House Of Tomorrow.)
