Has anyone else noticed this open house has gone on for over a week now with no real resolve to any of the major concerns!? Im getting worried about everyone
Kinda like “LOST”. It was 2004 when it was 2007 outside the island and 2007 on the island when it was 200910 outside. Haven’t figured out ratios here. Remember when Yehuda was lost in the snow last year. It was two weeks in real time but perhaps a day in his.
Perhaps it’s a “scrunchie”, an elasticized fabric ponytail holder. I often ride with a ponytail to keep my hair from completely frizzing out when riding, then take it down after my ride. The scrunchie usually sits on my writst ’til I get back on my bike.
When a women is behaving like that being a gentleman is irrelevent, but between you me and the rest of these commenters if a women did that to me while trying to get a free beer out of me I think I’d be more annoyed than anything else. It would much more amusing to me to respond that new she would have to pay 5 bucks.
I like that Rick shows the air-pump with the nozzle hooked up, off the floor!
Because our lazy volunteers leave it on the floor, we have had to replace our twice already and I repaired them a few times too!
Grit gets into the mechanism and damages the seal or locking it up altogether.
Look after your tools folks – care for the tools and, like your bike, you will have them as long as you live and can pass them down when you ‘move on’
“Ice cream has flavors. Beer has sytles.” True but flavor is not innapropriate.
How about a chocolate stout or a banana bread beer? Maybe a vanilla java porter? All sorts of fruit lambics, peche witte, etc,… so many beer, so little time. (yes, “beer” — beer is plural, no such thing as a singular beer in the practical/functional world my dear academics)
If the subject of politics comes up in the strip I think you’re entitled to openly disagree; but pushing your partisan political agenda even when it has absolutely no contextual relevence to either the comic or the thread is just tiresome and obnoxious.
See, now you’re just doing it too. That’s the problem with non-contextual partisan trolling, it just turns everything into a political bickerfest. It’s a comic about a young women manipulating a middle aged man by flashing her ass.
Whoa. Yehuda is Middle Aged? I always thought he was in his late 20s, max. How old IS Yehuda? And the dark-haired woman looks MILF-y to me, so perhaps not so young.
@Yoshi, I took it as Yehuda being an old bike hippie. I’d peg him at least 50. The girl reminds me of Luanne from King of the Hill – not milfy. Maybe a college freshman that’s too young to drink so she came to the Kickstand to get her drink on.
For whatever reason I’ve always imagined Yehuda being in his late 30′s. I have a vague memory of Yehuda catching up with an friend of his from his high school days and I thought something like 20 years had passed. Also, I’ve always thought of Yehuda and Joe as being the same age, and a fringe like Joe’s is very rare for a man younger than 36 or so. Like Unabiker, a girl flashing ass for free beer says undergraduate to me. Undergraduate showing her ass to a man over 35? No good comes from that nonsense.
Making a political comment when it is relevant to the strip is one thing; introducing it gratuitously is another. And for the record I would have said the same thing if the remark were from a Democrat.
It’s been a really long time. Last time I recall looking at either one, I had just flipped a bike by carrying some jeans over the handlebars (stupid-stupid-stupid), took the entire fall on my left shoulder, which felt like it compressed halfway to my waist, and mashed the tee-shirt I was wearing into my flesh. I walked back to my friend’s apartment in tremendous pain (he wasn’t home, but I had a key), let myself in, read his roommate’s entire collection of P-boy/house magazines, and ate a half gallon of ice cream. Felt better, rode home. Went canoeing later that week.
Brilliant cartoon today guys! Very funny, and thank you! I’d love to see yehuda get a gf so we can quit hearing the guys go on about thistle and sprocket, maybe this cute blonde will adore him? He’s kinda cute if you don’t mind shaggy hippies.
Well, Yehuda would probably be dying to suggest the Brooks B18, since it’s designed for women who wear skirts while riding, but the problem with recommending a Brooks saddle is obviously the price.
Oh, Kevin, stuff it. We know your idea of Long Rides. You could probably sit directly on the seat post for your Long Rides and not feel much discomfort.
You would have so much more credibility if you were riding a Flying Pigeon rather than a Pashley, you know. We could respect your choice of a functional City bike rather than suffer through your constant boasting over your precious Pashley.
Bicycles, beer, br…ahem, women. Seriously though, well maybe not so serious, but friends of mine and I will occasion a semi-annual bikes and bars, bicycle pub crawl here in beautiful Tucson, AZ USA!!
Is Gentle Ben’s on the route? Please tell me that Dirtbags on Speedway is long gone. Garndma Tony’s always had great waitresses. Some great places on 6th st. too.
it does, but only for events like the Kickstand’s Open House. I was at a open house at a LBS in Austin that had free beer for people that rode in a couple of years ago. Free BarBQue too.
And when the Coventry Peace House has an open day to promote ‘getting on with your neighbours’ – Once you know someone socially and start to like them, it is harder to consider violence. Many of the problems, both local and international, come from a lack of knowledge and a ‘died-in-the-wool’ aggressive tendency to NOT learn how the other ones live. Blindly following party policies, echoing the same catcalls and threats you hear others making to be part of the crowd, deliberately closing your mind to the concept of understanding and tolerance – these are some of the main things that start wars. We should all (I mean me too!) learn to get-on with our neighbours and show tolerance.
HAHAHAHA I nevvvver advocate alcoholic beverages but chicks and bikes = me likey
I want a job in a bicycle shop now…
ROFL… “Giggidy!”
My laughter just got lost..family and friends live there: http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_16038268?source=rss&nclick_check=1
Sorry about the off-topic.
Heard about that this AM. I pray that your family is unaffected, and pray more for thiose who are.
Amen!!!
This one made me laugh out loud.
Choked on my coffee…
Nice one!
you’re not the only one, that was funny
Spewed Mtn Dew all over my keyboard funny!

The time continuum here works much on the same principle as Yehuda’s bag of holding.
Kinda like “LOST”. It was 2004 when it was 2007 outside the island and 2007 on the island when it was 200910 outside. Haven’t figured out ratios here. Remember when Yehuda was lost in the snow last year. It was two weeks in real time but perhaps a day in his.
Welcome to “Judge Parker.”
(Just kidding, Rick!)
…and Bart Simpson has been 7 yrs old for 20+ yrs.
it is a freakin comic of course it is going on for a week. how long was Yehuda in the sno?????
I guess its a dream come true for Yehuda. Or maybe he’s dreaming now.
Love it! That’s my type of blonde!
What’s with her friend’s black wrist muff? It looks like a funeral armband fell down to her wrist. Is this some fashion that I am unaware of?
Perhaps it’s a “scrunchie”, an elasticized fabric ponytail holder. I often ride with a ponytail to keep my hair from completely frizzing out when riding, then take it down after my ride. The scrunchie usually sits on my writst ’til I get back on my bike.
That’s too funny; my wife does the same thing, and I thought the same thing when I saw it!
Her butt?
… or it could just be a sweat band…
That is possible; the blonde is wearing a black hairband.
That’s just the cuff of her shirt.
When a girl shows you her butt and your first thought is to find her a suiting saddle, clearly, you are an incurable proselyte.
Either that, or even more proof he’s gay.
Or he’s a gentleman. (I know, extremely rare these days.)
When a women is behaving like that being a gentleman is irrelevent, but between you me and the rest of these commenters if a women did that to me while trying to get a free beer out of me I think I’d be more annoyed than anything else. It would much more amusing to me to respond that new she would have to pay 5 bucks.
I don’t think being a gentleman ever is irrelevant, regardless of the lady’s behavior, but otherwise I agree.
Yeah, not being 25 anymore I’m not that easily manipulated. I’m not sure if that’s empowering or depressing. :-/
You’re forgetting that she’s all saddle sore. I don’t know about you, but a blistered tush isn’t a turn on.
Maybe Yahuda’s “ouch” is him seeing what her current saddle did to her butt?
Ya think…?
I thought Sister Sprocket (out-of-frame) hit him.
I like that Rick shows the air-pump with the nozzle hooked up, off the floor!
Because our lazy volunteers leave it on the floor, we have had to replace our twice already and I repaired them a few times too!

That is the keg.
I’m pretty sure that’s the top of a keg.
Thanks, now I look – frame shows Y dripping the drink with it – my mistaken identifying, What I say about the shop pump holds true though…
I hate it when you have to pick up the tap from the ground – give the beer a different taste. REMEMBER TAKE CARE OF YOU TOOLS!
What do you think about the beer flavor – “Burning River” or “Eliot Ness”?
Actually we have a microbrewery here that makes a beer called Rusty Chain.
We have one out here in the west called “Fat Tire” which even has a bike on the label. We also have one called Moose Drool.
While riding across America, I had as many Moose Drool Brown Ales as I could. Going back to ski at Big Sky meant even more!
Ice cream has flavors. Beer has sytles. (e.g. Burning River “Pale Ale” and Elito Ness “Amber Lager.”)
“Ice cream has flavors. Beer has sytles.” True but flavor is not innapropriate.

Speaking of flavours, it’s almost time for the seasonal pumpkin ales to start showing up.
@required, I just had a Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale.
Sounds good, but nothing listed for Weyerbacher on the LCBO website

NHJ, Looks like Holy Moses.
A bike geek’s dream …
Shouldn’t the title of this one been “Moon over Kickstand”?
Rick is kicking himself as he reads…
Glad to know that even if Thistle leaves, there will be hot chix at the Kix.
Just wait till Thistle walks in and finds the buzzed Yehuda flirting with the ladies. Joe will (mistakenly) think she quit because of a broken heart.
The hell with that. Leave the Thistle family twisting in the wind in this “summer of recovery”? I won’t stand for it.
Mongo, kindly keep your politics to yourself.
I’ll remember you said that next time the subject comes up in the strip.
If the subject of politics comes up in the strip I think you’re entitled to openly disagree; but pushing your partisan political agenda even when it has absolutely no contextual relevence to either the comic or the thread is just tiresome and obnoxious.
“tiresome and obnoxious”
sounds like a tea party
See, now you’re just doing it too.

50? No, his beard would be grey rather than brown. Late thirties to early forties.
There’s an assumption at work. I’m 51 with a beard that’s just srarting to gray.
Don’t worry Mongo – Liberals always get bent out of shape at the slightest provocation.
who’s a liberal?
I’m not a liberal and I’m not a conservative. I’m just tired of listening to both treating political differences like a sports rivalry.
Making a political comment when it is relevant to the strip is one thing; introducing it gratuitously is another. And for the record I would have said the same thing if the remark were from a Democrat.
PASHLEY!
Ok, just wondering: Does she have anything on under that skirt and did she actually moon Moon? Or was she just showing off her (worn?) bike shorts?
Sadly, at 400x the triangle of haunch beneath her skirt that we can see in frame 3 looks more white than pink.
Things like that never happen to me.
“Dear Playboy….”
i thought it was penthouse forum?

That was about 30 years ago.

Get a haircut!
what kind of saddle is he going to push on her?
Well, Yehuda would probably be dying to suggest the Brooks B18, since it’s designed for women who wear skirts while riding, but the problem with recommending a Brooks saddle is obviously the price.
Why is price a problem? I see that Curbside is currently selling a Brooks B18 for $210. Seems a quite reasonable price for comfort.
A Brooks saddle came as a standard factory-equipped item with my Pashley. It has always been very comfortable for me, even on long rides.
Not all of us have +$200.00 to spare.
And you can get a Charge Spoon saddle for $20.
Oh, Kevin, stuff it. We know your idea of Long Rides. You could probably sit directly on the seat post for your Long Rides and not feel much discomfort.

I still want to see how the Thistle family fares in this “summer of recovery”.
Again, keep your politics to yourself. When it is relative to the day’s strip, that’s one thing; when it is gratuitous, it is tiresome.
Perhaps Rick can give us an ‘Ignore’ button so we can filter out the trolls?
Oh yeah, and if riding a bike got free drinks in the real world, I’d be perpetually schnockered.
it does, but only for events like the Kickstand’s Open House. I was at a open house at a LBS in Austin that had free beer for people that rode in a couple of years ago. Free BarBQue too.

Find Stu, and you’ll find the answer!
Yehuda Mooned
*That* should have been the title of the comic!
