Guilty As Charged
According to post #61 on the Stuff White People Like blog, if you’re a Caucasian, there’s a good chance you like bicycles. We at Urban Velo find ourselves guilty as charged, and the same goes for sushi, hip-hop, Apple products, microbreweries, film-festivals and coffee.
Like all good satire, it’s funny because it’s true. The posts aren’t just well-written, they’re well-researched (unless the author happens to own an NJS approved track bike with Phil Wood hubs and Aerospoke wheels). But it’s almost as interesting to read through the comments to see how many people take offense to a white guy from California’s sense of humor.

The best blog I may have ever read that didn’t have free music or movies on it. Read the entire thing!

Oh man, I love going through that site and being like “That’s me! That’s me! That too!”
It’s almost enough to instill a sense of “white pride”…in the non-racist, non-cross burning type of way.

Who’s the white woman from CA? I think the guy who does the blog is a dude?

Indeed, the dude abides…
I was mislead, but a friend recently pointed out this interview: http://www.heebmagazine.com/blog/view/588
