    I learned on stick but would never buy one. Its pointless and means you are driving with one hand on the wheel half the time.

    I also have a bike. But its a mountain bike which may have been cool back home but here all these hipsters and their fixed gear bikes are taking over.

    Saves me peddling or I can peddle - best of both worlds :cool:
    I like that you have a bike. What bike have you got?

    it might be that you have poor coordination. :rolleyes:

    i can drive a stick shift vehicle with my foot on the wheel, my hand on the gas and my ball sack on the shifter...it may not say much about coordination, but it highlights my tenacity in detail.

    i used to deliver pizzas in a stick shift with no power steering, while eating and smoking pot.

    can't say i've shifted with my scrotum though...

    your talented, but until you shift with your scrotum you are really missing out.

    I have a Schwinn cruiser, a Peugeot road bike, and some shitty stolen mountain bike.

    I just checked them out...and you call my electric bike "faggotry".
    My god man...both those bikes are way more "faggotry" than my bike (pictured). You should think before you speak sometimes.

    Thanks for letting me know what a big faggot you really are.

    How the hell could you check them out?

    There are like...20 different cruisers, a good 100 different road bikes, and probably thousands of shitty mountain bikes.

    What the hell is wrong with you?

    Electric bikes are for old people. And I thought the average bike is far less expensive than an electric one.

    :confused:

    I googled Schwinn cruiser, and I got the general idea.
    The same with the road bikes...
    Yeah there will be slight variations...but I got the general sense of the types of bike they were.

    I said: "both those bikes ..."
    I didn't say I checked out something as vague as "shitty mountain bikes".
    I would say it looks like a mountain bike and it is probably a shit one.
    So, I could have passed judgement on that too. But I didn't

    How long have you got?

    The road bike is actually really good and rather expensive. Way out of my budget... I got it as a present though.

    A lot of time, but I don't really care.

    Calmed the hell down now have we? :rolleyes:

    If you feel like it tell me the actual models...and then I can fully appreciate them.
    But, forget about it if you can't be bothered.
    I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing.

    I was joking. I know you don't care.

    They hardly ever let me drive period...but one day I'll learn how to drive a stick. If I ever have the chance.

    Ehh, I don't really obsess over bikes as some people.

    It's all good as long as it gets me from point A to point B.

    I don't even know the models off the top of my head.

    My Dad taught me how to drive in a 1967 VW Beetle when I was 10 years old. He told me that if I can drive a bug, I can drive anything.

    I prefer manual. It always seems like I'm more aware, and in more control when I'm driving a stick.

    Yeah, you can't get a license over here if you can't drive a stick. I prefer driving stick anyway, it's much more fun than automatic.

    There are some really cool ones (if you have the money).

    As you may have seen from my picture...my one IS for old people.:rolleyes:
    The cool factor is zero..but people do ask me about it...because there are hardly any of them about here.

    For what it is, mine was reasonable...cost about £350
