So you're saying that it's OK for bikes to run red lights, and then when they get hit by a car, it's the driver's fault cause bikers can't be blamed?

In your case, it's stupidity.

Just make sure to get a BeckApproval .

That dude is right on! He's right, there's a double standard. Bikes are typically not held accountable for breaking traffic laws, while the cars that they share the road with are. Disgusting.

Not true, it isn't 'way past spec'. I've heard many people bitch about smacking the heads of their Charlet tools and dinging them to the point that they can't replace the picks. And that would suck.

Biners aren't tool heads.

I don't see what this proves. That's like saying the bolt in my crampon will shear before a tine breaks off if I applied that much force. Nevermind that my lower leg would be severed first. Generally I avoid factor-2'ing off my ice tools It gives you an idea of the relative durability. Tool head recieve a shitload of abuse, and it's obvious that the BD steel heads are stronger than the CM AL heads.

Show me a beginner who can't climb 5.6 sport.

YOU KILLED BAMBI!

That one's easy: because THE MOUNTAINEERS are MOUNTAINEERS, not THE GYM CLIMBERS or THE SPORT CLIMBERS. They climb REAL MOUNTAINS (like the tooth). They climb SERIOUS ROUTES. The gym isn't MOUNTAINEERING. duh.

Yeah you can't even pump your own gas. Hey Fejas serious boy That's because they're trying to make more jobs. And let's not forget the statement made by their genius representative: "Oregon cannot raise the speed limit because we don't have enough police to enforce it." or something like that.

Oregon sucks ass.

You CAN'T 'smelt' gold out of copper. No way to do it. It's an element.

Good to see you back, you perverted, twisted grumpy fuck. Uh. I mean 'buddy'.
