    close to it. how did you broke it? skating or accident?

    ...having a perfecly gorgeous day to skate, and having your wife tell you she *really* wants you to
    stay home with her and the kid today, even though you had a kickass session at Ballard yesterday and
    were almost pulling off feeble stalls in the shallow end and coming very close to the coping in the
    deep end, and it's "church" at Ballard today and all your friends will be there.

    (now, you wouldn't think I'm talking from experience here, would you?)

    Sorry to hear about the skateboard accident. But a more adult activity like riding a bike you'd get
    more sympathy!

    Well, skateboarders and cyclists don't mix, that's the universal concensus.

    Uhm, 'velo' is the latin short for 'bicycle', isn't it (velociped or something)?

    Oh no, my whole world is turned upside down! Noooooo! You traitor! A cyclist in a skateboard
    newsgroup! That's even worse than a cyclist telling a skateboarder he should do a more mature sport
    liking bicycling!

    P.S. Me personally? I have been trying to avoid bicycling since I found a better job than doing
    paper rounds 🙂)). I have been doing well. I did have two bikes in the past 15 years, but they
    both got stolen within 6 months. Yep, a bike is public property in The Netherlands.

    yes, my dear collegue, i think i must share your opinion on this subject. i appear to remember very
    vague that the word "velo" has a certain latin origin. even more: "velo" is the most common dialect
    word in dutch. in very specific cases, it is even contracted to "vlo", what would in theory be the
    same as that other dutch word, which carries the meaning of "flea". But this comletely aside...

    your bike getting stolen is not becoz of the people there think it's public property, it's
    1) becoz of people from the netherlands or in general to cheap to by a bike
    2) becoz of the high level of foreign people how very often appear to end up as criminals. i'm not
    accusing, only refuting statistics.

    Uhm, for the second point, I'm sorry, but I disagree. Not in the least because people seeking asylum
    get a bike for free in The Netherlands. And anyway, there is not a high level of foreign people.
    There is a high level of originally non-Dutch people in the Netherlands, but they have been
    naturalized and therefore are not foreigners anymore. We of course have our problems with Jugoslavic
    people, who fled Jugoslavia after it collapsed, taking lots of guns with them, now selling them on
    the black market, hiring themselves as cheap assassins, and/or creating a whole new mafia here.
    Wanna buy a gun? Ask a Jugoslavian.

    Nope, the times the most bikes are stolen are on friday night and saturday night, by drunk people
    who live one or more villages away and missed the last train or bus. Seriously: me and my friends
    have done it numerous times
    🙂. After usage, the bike is dumped in the foliage somewhere. But I had a
    friend who stored the bikes in his dad's garage. At one time he had over 15 bikes 🙂.

    My bikes were both stolen on friday nights.

    Velo is actually the French

    well, un vélo is french, but the origine is latin. like *duh* it doesn't mean bike or anything,
    there weren't any bikes in ancient rome or whereever, but velo or an alike word in latin probably
    ment something that had something to do with a bike or riding one or whatever, which caused the word
    to be used to give the bike it's name.
