Yehuda Moon works at the Kickstand Cyclery, lives on his bicycle and dreams of a day when everyone does likewise.
The comic strip is about two guys who run a bike shop and the challenges they face in the store and on the road. Yehuda‘s the utilitarian advocate; Joe‘s the go-fast pragmatist. Thistle Gin, a wrench and biking mom, rounds them out.

I always knew there was something wrong with minivan drivers….
Who’s being asked to take a picture? It looks as if the passenger is asking the driver to!
(If it was set in the UK, it would be the driver asking) Or does the speech balloon reach to the LHS driver?
Relevance?
Cool game Rick or Brian.
re: ‘Relevance’ – is the driver being asked to take a picture? was my thought but I have decided that the driver is asking.
Taking a picture while driving? Would be like many of the SUV drivers that drive while using their phone etc.
I’d have guessed the voice was coming from inside the car.
Maybe that’s a bit too simple though.
Haha He’s got quite a mouth
In my teens I encountered a similar practical joke. Late one night I was driving several friends through a “bad” part of town. We passed a group of guys who had another guy down on the sidewalk and were (apparently) giving him a severe beating. We pulled into a driveway just past the scene and turned around to go back and help him. All the guys, including the victim, ran away. Suspecting something was up, we drove slowly around the block and returned a few minutes later, to find the same “assailants’ beating the same “victim” in the same place. They apparently were playing a little game to see if they could get passersby to react.
The problem being the ‘cry wolf’ effect. One day one of those ‘jokers’ might be in real trouble, and no-one will stop.
I think they just proved that no one is going to stop, if you ask me its a good thing that no one was in real trouble.
they are lucky that the driver even slowed down and opened his window, just think of the poor driver that let out some of his precious AC!
Or one or both might get the snot knocked out of them by a person who doesn’t have as quick a sense of humor… a la Ula from 50First Dates…
Oh you crazy B***H!
YAH! KEEP RUNNING!!!
one of my favorite movies…
Would be funnier to jump out chase them off and then stay there until you think they were gonna return. With a baseball bat in hand. Don’t do any real physical damage.
Sad reality of the attitude of the public these days, the “Dude, I’m so gonna Y-Tube this…”
The boys are learning a good lesson about passivism.
Little off subject, but there was these adult kids (immature adults) that had vandalized some properties. They also attacked an older lady beating her badly. Well they video taped everything when being chased by police they dropped the video tape and someone picked it up. That person threw the video on retard-tube, took one of the victims to see that there car was on it then called Police. Video was confiscated, removed from online, and the jackasses arrested. I also think the person who uploaded it was charged too. Pretty f!@#$%^ stupid if you asked me!
The really stupid criminals tend to be caught first.
Stupid criminals catch themselves.
And stupid judges give those stupid criminals feeble sentences. Two British teenagers who killed a man in his 60s, in front of his 3-yr-old granddaughter, while ‘happy slapping’ (they ran past and struck him on the back of the head) got a *total* of 8 years jail yesterday, and will likely serve just half of that. So a life in the UK is worth 18 months-2 yrs in jail.
Much as that seems bad, you were not in court – you do not know all the facts. We must allow our judges the ability to set sentences that are apropriate to the facts and not mandate minimum sentences and act like know it all talkback radio jocks.
You don’t need to be in the courtroom to know that killing someone as part of a ‘joke’ (and the teenagers have shown no remorse) deserves a more serious penalty than 18 months in prison.
deserter… that is par for the course here.
People get pitifully short sentences for some truly terrible crimes.
About the only ones that don’t are killers in extremely high profile killings that get weeks of news coverage.
For the most part our prisons are full, sentencing is a slap on the wrist and if they even get as far as serving half their sentence behind bars it’s nothing short of a miracle.
I’d trust our judges to pass appropriate sentences, but they almost never do.
Went with other, called a bagger in Iowa, load bike down with camping gear, clothes, chair, beer & cocktails….. Missing Ragbrai (Register’s annual great bike ride across Iowa) this year, the oldest party ride out there http://ragbrai.com/ or http://www.bikeiowa.com
Hey, I drive a minivan and ride too. (On a side note – Check out “It’s hard to be cool in a minivan” by the Go Fish Guys. funny)
I saw some guys working over another a few years back (while driving my pick-up truck, even) and schreeched in, jumped out and everybody took off, even the guy getting beat up. Maybe it was a prank but I was gonna help the under dog no matter… No one needs to get pummeled by when way outnumbered.
Some people might call me unstable or rash, maybe, but I don’t let a wrong go if I can at all help it.
I’m missing RAGBRAI too, maybe Friday and Saturday… Wanted to do XTerra at Sugarbottom too…
If there are a bunch of guys beating up on one, in my area it means they are being jumped in to a gang…
I made it!!! XTerra at Sugar Bottom was AWESOME!!!!!
