At the U:
Black and Yellow taped (electrical tape) fixie. Outside of EECS all the time. Nice ride. I think it has been posted on here before, but I'm too lazy to dig through the posts.
Black fixie outside of Vincent Hall. "Bike and Destroy" sticker. Also cool.
I always see these bikes parked but never see the people riding them. Bad timing I guess.

Isn't that a white fixie with black "Bike and Destroy" lettering?

Dude/Bike 1:
Who's the dude on a Orange touring/road bike with a fairing, rides with studs, in the summer rides a yellow recumbant with black mag-style wheels. Super fast on both bikes. You are usually going the opposite direction as me on the Greenway. West in the morning, east in the afternoon. Say hi if you're here.
Bike 2: Blue touring/road bike with yellow tape on mustache bars always parked in front of the Wedge on Lyndale. Well, at least every morning I drive anyway. Who's the owner?
I think I saw Landon going east on the Greenway Monday night around 5:30 or so. We passed each other under the highway 7 or Lake street bridge near where Kenilworth splits to the either CLT or keeps going to Midtown Greenway. There were a bunch of runners in a club run that we had to avoid. So if that was you, HI PEE-DUBS!

The bike is my winter fixie. The frame is too small for me and is not quite straight, but it has a new BB and cranks, as well as a nice back wheel. I will be selling it this summer since I'm moving.
I like Bike and Destroy stickers. You can get them from unamerican.com.
When the snow melts, I'll start riding my awesome commuter bike which I just overhauled. I'll post pictures soon.

Bike and Destroy is a pretty rad sticker.
Also out front of EECS: Bianchi Pista. Has drop bars I think and some leopard print on the saddle. I just parked right next to it on my way into work.

I think the yellow and black one is the president of the cycling team's roommates. I was at his house, and I remember seeing a bike I knew, and I think that was the one.

I'm pretty sure that those are both stock on a Pista; so you'd have to narrow it down somehow.

Yellow Kryptonite NYC lock, if it's the same stock pista that was locked up there every day in the summer.

It's there every day. Yesterday it was lying horizontally on the snow drift, while locked to the street sign.  I met the owner of that bike the day of Bridget's recent art closing, but his name escapes me now. He lives above 1x1.
is it possible that this bike is more yellow than orange? a khs flite 100? i see that one a lot, too.

i think that bike is a raleigh, maybe with mustache bars? this one was on my mind when i started this thread, but i was more curious about the soma at the bus garage - which i still am, by the way.

I'm fairly certain that herent posted something about it one time somewhere deep in the bowels of mplsbikelove about that bike and its owner. Its always parked outside the Guthrie right?
Were do you work on campus, are you the guy with the dog always running with you?
