Today, OTSG is doing its part to overwhelm its readers with even more decisions to make. I have taken the time to nominate some of our own “citizens” to compete for the highest office of our land: Leader of the Freewheel World. Below you will find three photos, and below each photo you will see a list of facts about the candidate and where they stand on the issues that affect all OTS. Sorry if I left your particular party or candidate out, but feel free to write them in. Cog Bless America!
{democracy:7}
- The first Front Freewheel System to seriously contend for Leader of the Freewheel World
- Known to let extreme urban fixed gear freestylers hang out in his living room.
- Older and crappier OTSs find his mustache bars and fenders to be elitist and suspiciously polished.
- Has spent most of his career on the local level—errand running, recreational riding and organizing fund raising rides—has limited open road and long haul touring experience.
- Promises free air and presta converters for all OTS.
- Has lost appeal with newer OTS over the past 8 years by becoming progressively more old and crappy.
- Questions the Blue Bike’s relationship with radical fixed gear freestylers, but is known to has been involved * with some of these same fringe tricksters.
- Brings the same old bottomed out seat and maxed out stem policy in a world that is quickly raising seats and lowering stems.
- Has extensive experience in long haul touring and has been randonneuring for a quarter century.
- Promises tax credits for the purchase of air, but doesn’t cover presta converters.
- Proposes fiercely mandated bar wrap, brake pad and tire recycling.
- Promises subsidies for homemade bike trailers and cat litter panniers *.
- Promises tax breaks to recumbents which could undermine the over taxed OTS crowd.
- A long shot, fringe candidate, some feel a vote for this bike is a vote against the Blue Bike.
