This belongs on the "You Know You're a Biker When..." Thread - You know you're a biker when you can identify/be identified despite hat being pulled down, sun glasses on and balaclava in place. ...Only in Pittsburgh!

I see that guy all the time at work and school (he's usually at peppi's when I see him, or chatting with the security guards at the art institute)

I used to live 2 blocks from him, and see him downtown like the rest, I've always referred to him as the punisher. serious punisher fetish, and one of the few regular cyclists with a stogie. respect.

I used to chat with him at OTB every so often. He was always pretty cool--a little crazy, but pretty cool.

Saw him riding out on the Fifth Ave sidewalk near Sixth Ave around 3:45 this afternoon. I'd seen him before but never paid any attention. Now that I know what he looks like, he's instantly recognizable.

This guy is awesome. I ended up riding next to him downtown once, and some huge woman stepped out right in front of us. She got a stern talking-to from him. lmao
