I hoped you'd be pleased with this bit of fiction! Although alligators do pick the darnest places to nap. Not narcissistic at all. I hoped you’d be pleased with this bit of fiction!

You make it sound like encountering snakes is a bad thing. It's not, at least not for me. I find them fascinating. Gators, though? Well, that's a whole 'nother can of reptiles. As far as Kelly's theory-dousing, I have no doubt that any experienced rider could bunny-hop a big lizard, regardless of fixie-specific mileage. We grew up hopping fixed gear bikes, and one can do great things when properly motivated. Is it overly narcissistic of me to feel flattered? ;-) Gee, the guy in that story sure sounds familiar!
