erik is on drugs

The Twin Cities' favorite bike shop, Erik's Bike Shop, might be so because it has the trippiest commercials ever on TV. I mean, it's like they're all stoned when they make those things.

Bike riders are usually hippies. They have those hemp backpacks and organic water bottles and low-impact soy tires and helmets made out of recycled cardboard boxes. You know the type.

See, when I take a bike ride, as I did this morning, I go out of my way to run over helpless nature creatures, and I try to find some minorities to oppress. Though we don't normally allow those types of people in my part of Carver County anyway.

I love Erik's, though, because their checkout system is based on FileMaker Pro and run on Macs ... at least, it was the last time I was there.

Good for Erik's -- the stoned Mac-loving bike hippies of greater central Minnesota.
