Bike Snob at Mellow Johnny’s
Cycling’s most hilarious blogger is coming to Mellow Johnny’s Wednesday as part of a six-city tour promoting his book, “Bike Snob NYC: Systematically & Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling.”
Bike Snob, aka Eben Weiss, will lead a one-hour urban ride starting at 10:30 a.m. from the shop, 400 Nueces St.
At 6 p.m., he’ll return for a talk, book signing, drinks, music and a “Cycling Stereotype Pageant.” Bike Snob will pick winners in categories that include The Roadie, the Mountain Biker, the Cyclocrosser, the Triathlete, the Urban Cyclist, the Messenger, the Beautiful Godzilla, the Retro-Grouch, the Righteous Cyclist, the Lone Wolf and the Contraption Captain.
Need inspiration? Check Weiss’ blog here.
I love his bit about dressing as Floyd Landis, the cyclist who won the Tour de France a few years ago and then had his victory yanked when he tested positive for drugs. And the bit about buying used cycling shorts.
Ha!
