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.

Joe that’s totally bent!
Good salesmanship!
Snuggie jokes=always funny. I don’t care what time of the day, or how little/many beers I’ve had. Nothing says “I’m never having sex again like a snuggie”. Possibly add in Crocs for the most powerful birth control ever.
“Snuggie” has an entirely different meaning for some people. Maybe it was just a regional colloquialism back when I was growing up, but around my neck of the woods a “snuggie” was the term for what we now know as a “wedgie”.
Watch his girlfriend bring the coat back and beat the crap out of Joe
Or boyfriend – (he rides a ‘bent doesn’t he?
I have to add – that was just ‘fishing’ for fun comments. I have no feelings either way about people’s proclivities!
@Tencon: Oh, no, he has a really tall grifriend who was already annoyed by Joe once and gave him the look, scaring him, I don’t remember which strip that was. But that’s what I was referring to.
I watch the Inbetweeners when it’s showing on BBC America (great show). Anyway, I learned from that show that in British slang bent and fit have meanings very different from their standard definitions. I always think of that now when I read about bent riders.
@Tencon – Oh my… I’m gay. I ride a bent and wear sandals and have facial hair and an aerobelly. Oh God… I’m a stereotype.
Or his wife, he may well have one. Joe will deserve it too unless he gave the guy a proper 2nd hand price on that coat.
Ah… Found it!

Yup, that’s the one. Disregard my other post.
Wasn’t there another strip that paired him with an angry spouse (I think it was a recumbent tandem strip)
Love it… just can’t wait untill the EMS arrives after an accident and tries to turn his head around to match the L Fog…
Damn, Pops; that’s kinda dark.
It’s the setup for an old joke about a motorcyclist in bad weather, too. He put his jacket on backwards, then was involved in an accident. Ambulance and police arrived at the scene; the officer was asking the paramedic how the rider was. The ambulance attendant said “He was doing OK until we turned his head back around where it belonged…..”
.. or like the “normal for Norfolk” tractor driver who accidentally put his trousers on back to front one morning. Has an RTA [Road Traffic Accident], and when the paramedics arrive they ask him if he is all right. “Oh yes,” he replies, “just a broken arm or two…” looks down at himself) “…but I didn’t half give myself a funny old turn…”
There *is* actual recument raingear.
And then there is even more superior recumbent raingear: http://en.velomobiel.nl/gallery/30140/tour/30186/2010-12-28-oliebollentocht03.html
Jeez … looks like an East German parking lot from back in the 1980s when all you could buy were Trabbies and Zills. I get passed some mornings by a couple of guys zooming along in velo-mobiles or whatever they’re called. first time it happened I thought some guy was trying to drive his classic/antique Messerschmidt one-seater down the MUT.
Me likee!!! But at US$6500, they are a bit on the pricey side.
However, once I hit the lottery, no problems, right?
That’s what I always say to myself.
Guess it would help if I were to buy a ticket sometime.
Last year, I was looking at Mango’s with thoughts of buying one as I was in a 6-month period where I couldn’t drive after my pacemaker had saved me. I have vowed that I will stop driving for good if I get two attacks in 6-months because I couldn’t live with myself if a fibrillation attack caused me to hurt or kill anybody when driving. I am the most likely to be hurt if it happened when cycling!
Now, Kevin Love was looking at them too but hasn’t commented here since Rick resumed production. I wonder if he even knows about it?
Look aero
Forgot to post the link.

That link just failed – I found this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR175
Maybe it was the full stop at the end?
Hey Rick… should I be concerned if I haven’t gotten my books yet, or are shipments still being processed?
You should be concerned: the last books were shipped out a few weeks ago. Please write me at comics@yehudamoon.com with the mailing address you used for the Kickstarter project and we’ll track down what happened to your books.
I am not concerned, but I haven’t had mine yet Rick.
Maybe it takes a LOT longer to reach the UK?
Don’t you have my details in the subscription database?
We don’t collect anything but email addresses. Kickstarter took care of that for us and sent reminders… a few folks didn’t receive them. Please send your mailing address to comics@yehudamoon.com and we’ll get books to you pronto!
