My buddy Nolan narrates this 18 seconds of footage of mountain biking in the West Hartford Reservoir back on Global Warming Day, Jan. 6, a few days after the arrest.
My favorite part about this whole InauguRell debacle is the fact that most of the news-watching people in the Nutmeg state now know I am fast enough on a mountain bike to be classified as erratic, strange and otherwise deserving of police attention.
Since there is so much attention being placed on my skills, I thought it was high time to showcase some of those talents.
Mountain biking, or any biking, as most sane adults know, is not erratic behavoir. Many police departments themselves utilize mountain bikes as a way to patrol streets effectively and safely.
As a crime combatting tool, mountain bikes do not require gasoline, and thus do not contribute to global warming. I doubt Chief Wiggum would patrol on a mountain bike, either.
Mountain biking is a great stress reliever, and an even better way to commune with nature, particularly at high rates of speed. This video, narrated by my friend Nolan, features my buddy Jim and I tackling a log obstacle in the West Hartford Reservoir. We went out riding to celebrate global warming day on Jan. 6.
As H.G. Wells said, "When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race."
