What's there to hate? Does he not like metal? He just wants people to not take themselves too seriously.

Here's a handy tip for those of you who are considering becoming BSNYC readers: don't bother reading the comments. You'll save a lot of time that way. There are often over 100 comments per post, none of which are worth reading.
Bike Snob's commenters fall roughly into two groups: angry dull-normal teenagers upset about the Snob's mockery of fixed gear fashion; and Snob wannabes who make long, fawning posts in what they imagine to be a BSNYC-like style, presumably in the hopes that somebody will notice their wit and make them net.famous like the Snob himself. (The latter is the Internet equivalent of hanging around Psychobabble every day hoping to be discovered by some junior casting agent--it's just as futile, obvious, and sad.) So skip the comments and save your time and effort for something more productive, like arguing about CRANK MOB on MidnightRidazz.com.

This "Robert Stanfield" shit ain't cutting it. You need a colorful and/or stupid nickname.

"Robert Stanfield" is colorful and stupid.
just not as stupid as "PC"

I don't think it's possible for there to be a name stupider than "PC."

Today's scent is Piper Nigrum by Lorenzo Villoresi. I smell very minty and peppery, with a hint of tree sap. Later it will dry down to a sort of amber-y vanilla.

He's farkin hilarious and his sarcasm, more often than not, is spot on. Love the regular updates on the coming Fixie-apocalypse.
Here's a great example of some of his writing, if any readers don't know who he is and what he talks about....
"Some time ago a reader alerted me to the fact that someone is making and selling wooden handlebars. While my request for an interview with the maker went unanswered, I’ve since seen them here and there on sites like Fixedgeargallery and Velospace, so presumably they’re out there. And while there are safer ways to achieve that flammable look on your bicycle, these bars give you two things a roll of wood-grain contact paper cannot—susceptibility to termites, and that thrilling feeling that your bars might splinter at any moment. Together with a brakeless bike, wooden bars will transport you to that next level of sublime uncertainty, and simply arriving at your destination with all your teeth will feel like a Tour de France stage win."
