Bumper bike strikes again!

Hysterical. I actually saw the bike in person today on Liberty parked.


rsprake
2009-07-02 19:57:15

I want to see this so bad. It's like the Weiner Mobile of bicycles.


sarah_q
2009-07-02 21:05:06

often in the basketball court behind the firestation in east lib... this place is a goldmine for bumper bike sightings.


imakwik1
2009-07-02 21:07:31

I dunno, the Weinermobile was a base, profit-oriented scheme.


This? It's like some holy mission!

mick

That looks like the parking lot of Wendy's on baum blvd. (I am very observant).


igo
2009-07-03 02:02:38

You would be correct, I found the photo on Twitter and the person said it was the Wendy's parking lot. I saw it earlier in the AM just after the Bloomfield bridge.


rsprake
2009-07-03 13:53:26

This guy bombs down Liberty in rush hour traffic with that bumper. If you re in front of the Crazy Mocha in Bloomfield, you might catch a glimpse.


ncbt
2009-07-03 14:39:51

Haha, I've seen that before parked. I always thought it was some type of sculpture piece but not that anyone actually rode it. Awesome!


little_owl
2009-07-03 14:44:10

I am glad to see that he has multiple bikes TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


steevo
2009-07-03 17:52:58

is it the same guy? i'm hoping for a whole slew of bumper bikers starting some sort of revolution.


imakwik1
2009-07-03 18:59:51

I met the guy, he calls that his Ferrari, talks about the gull wing doors and etc. He ran up to me when he saw a cargo trike and said he was gonna go to the atm to get one. I want to give him one, I figure he would trick it WAY out.


He had a bike with aluminum foil in the wheels, and a hubcap duct taped to the front, I think I have a pic.


ncbt
2009-07-03 23:14:48

I spotted him on penn ave. (point breeze) about a month ago I think it was the mountain bike.


igo
2009-07-04 00:07:38

I really don't think this is that safe. If a car hits the edge of the bumper I would make him fall but, it is a good make to make sure cars follow the 3' rule.


igo
2009-07-04 00:12:52

I really don't think this is that safe


Agreed, but I somehow doubt safety was high on the guy's priority list when putting that beauty together.


reddan
2009-07-04 01:46:23

Yeah, those bikes are all about style. And he's got it in 5' doses. I think I might spend my holiday weekend watching Penn from my balcony just to catch a glimpse of his pimpin' paneling. :¬]


renny
2009-07-04 02:37:01

Makes me kind of want to get neon lights to go around my bike rims...kind of like some cars have under the running boards or just on the undercarriage. Or something....


greenbike
2009-07-04 02:41:43

More than style, he's making a very adamant *statement* to motorists to give cyclists both room and respect. And he's doing it in a very ballsy manner.


Two thumbs up!


stuinmccandless
2009-07-04 02:42:41

Driving is the new smoking...


ncbt
2009-07-04 08:22:39

he offered to trick my bike out. i considered it for a minute


erok
2009-07-04 13:41:52

spotted him a minute ago at baum and penn circle west. he's got rims too.


scott
2009-07-04 17:30:23

I saw him riding through the east liberty home depot parking lot at 6am last sunday. I had just woken up so it took me a minute to realize that it was in fact a dude with a bumper attached to the front of his bike.


robjdlc
2009-07-06 03:40:30

I need to track this guy down and interview him.


bradq
2009-07-06 03:49:34

LOL....this is awesome...I have to keep an eye out for this guy.


druid13
2009-07-06 13:10:10

yeah the dude rolls early. I saw him coming up liberty at 7am one morning


steevo
2009-07-06 16:50:50

There should be a tweet of his location. Like the Kogi truck.

Should we start a new thread, or can we "sticky" this dude?

How to Avoid the Bumper Life


eric
2009-07-10 16:13:36

Does the bumper help him keep his balance at red lights? Or does it have magical properties?

Not an either/or question, methinks.


I bet it works admirably well at keeping him from hopping on the sidewalk, splitting lanes of traffic, or edging up on the right...heck, it promotes vehicular cycling better than any other bike accessory I've ever seen.


reddan
2009-07-10 19:44:41

salty, that pic is great.


i'm waiting for him to fill that up with a full dashboard


erok
2009-07-10 22:48:40

Put this on the uni, now that would be impressive!


buck
2009-07-11 00:17:19

This is the original photo erok posted 2 months ago. I figured this is a good place for it.




igo
2009-07-11 01:16:13

he has been witnessed riding on sidewalks unfortunately.


We definitely need some bumper bike t-shirts


scott
2009-07-11 15:06:17

I need to meet this guy so bad.


bradq
2009-07-11 16:19:14

Just hang out along Penn Ave in East Lib/Garfield and you'll see him. I'm on my third siting.


scott
2009-07-11 16:41:16

Lemme work on that uni idea. Thanks Buck!

How many smoothies at Quiet Storm will be consumed during my bumper bike stake out? Time will tell...


sarah_q
2009-07-12 22:09:56

Is this the same guy who also has a bike with hubcaps all over the front of it? I see that guy a lot too.


caitlin
2009-07-13 12:50:27

i love the idea of a 'bumper guy stakeout.'

those pictures are amazing.


argylepile
2009-07-13 12:58:12

- Is this the same guy who also has a bike with hubcaps all over the front of it?


Ive seen this guy by the bloomfield bridge. Mostly during the morning commute. I have also spotted him sporting a rather nice viking helmet.


anthony
2009-07-14 02:42:41

!!! I'll offer a free beer to the first person to produce a picture of the bumper bike guy with the viking helmet on.


salty
2009-07-14 04:59:12

that's great!


erok

bump


erok
2009-08-05 15:17:08

My brother used to live next door to this lunatic. He would talk to us for a half an hour and just keep repeating the same three ideas over and over. 1)Didn't you know you could turn a bike into a ferrari? 2) Do you believe people just leave these alloy rims (hubcaps) layin on the street? 3) (looking at my bike with a huge smile) MAN that is a real sweet bike!

lol. I saw him ride the bat bike right down the sidewalk in Garfield just smashing the bumper off of everything


spakbros
2009-08-05 16:35:28

You know what? I think I have an old bumper....


ndromb
2009-08-05 17:00:58

OK, I have a solid plan for the unicycle. It's not a bumper, but is an immediately recognizable car part. If you'd like to help me assemble it, esp. in attaching some struts to hook a 15-to-20-pound part to a unicycle, please PM me.


stuinmccandless
2009-08-06 02:39:34

Bumper bike encounter today in E. Liberty. Dude's name is Arron and has 3 or 4 of these. The idea behind the concept is to claim space on the road. He offered to totally hook me up with one too. Told him I'd think about it.





quizbot
2009-08-07 20:54:58

No lie, this guy is my hero.


rocco
2009-08-07 21:14:54

saw him today on liberty ave at crazy mocha. it's his birthday today.


erok
2009-08-12 15:01:55

I like their style. Aaron's experiment on spacial awareness is ahead of its time.


austinindian
2009-08-12 15:14:18

has anyone personally invited him on any rides or to the bikefest party? i will pay for his ticket.


caitlin
2009-08-12 19:21:05

Was lurkin around bikeportland.com and they had a funny/unusual bike pic thread. Considered posting bumper bike but i'm to lazy. If someone has more initiative....


cbobc
2009-08-16 03:28:58

IHeartPgh has a sighting which looks to be on Fifth Avenue in Oakland. He's branching out, geographically!

ieverhart

we need to invite his guy to ride...no, lead critical mass this month


chefjohn
2009-11-21 18:55:55

Saw him by the zoo, a few weeks ago.


ka_jun
2009-11-21 20:05:46

Just spotted him this morning making a left turn onto Herron Ave from Bigelow Blvd. Had a huuuuuge line of pissed off cars behind him. This made my morning!


mfac84
2009-11-25 17:12:03

whoa, he was riding on Bigelow?


erok
2009-11-25 18:29:52

Posted 25, as I recall. hahaha. yeah, right.


stuinmccandless
2009-11-25 22:22:53

I believe Bigelow is 35 from what I saw last Critical Mass.


alankhg
2009-11-25 23:10:39

I think it is 35...maybe 40, but probably 35. However, I have seen people likely going 70mph on it.


Wow. we really need some t-shirts or something.


greenbike
2009-11-25 23:56:12

25 both ways from oakland to herron avenue, then 35 both ways from herron to dahntahn.


that pavement is sound as a pound. if there were ever the opportunity to have an urban car race around town, like they have in miami, that stretch would be epic. Achieving 3X the posted speed limit is well within reach.


sloaps
2009-11-26 00:25:22

Achieving 3X the posted speed limit is well within reach.


3X? 75 mph? I'm guessing that happens every day.


Or at least every day that bumper bike isn't there to prevent it!


Mick


mick
2009-11-26 00:34:09

3x on the stretch towards downtown = 105. still pretty easy to do - um, or so i heard... really nowhere for cops to sit either.


salty
2009-11-26 04:17:32

BUMP!


bumper bike just rolled past my office


caitlin
2010-03-08 20:40:35

ahhh spring rolling in again. the sun is out, the buds on the trees are budding, birds singing and bumper bike a-rolling


erok

BB at Frankstown & East Liberty Blvd. this am, chatting up the crossing guard.




quizbot
2010-03-11 15:54:47

I saw him in person for the first time! Going up S Craig at like 2:30 today.


alnilam
2010-03-11 21:48:46

I saw him a few days ago.


I was riding through an ally. He turned onto the ally, coming towards me. He was wearing all black, including a black leather jacket, and he was rapping to himself. I rang my bike bell at him. He kept pedaling past me, but stopped mid-rap and said, "How you doin' beautiful," and then picked up the rap where he left off.

for archival purposes, i have to post ian's photo in this thread.



like riding off into the sunset


erok
2010-03-12 13:52:01

He came into the shop asking for $2 the other night.

Thinking he was a random skeezer I stonewalled him. It was only when I turned around that I saw the bike parked outside. Bumper bike, if ever need $2, I got you from now on.


spakbros
2010-03-15 17:43:10

He'd probably just head for Pep Boys and spend the $2 on "Bumper Shine".


edmonds59
2010-03-15 19:07:14

Spotted a nice shiny black bumper laying on the sidewalk on Chislett St. this morning... might have to pick it up on the way home.


kbrooks
2010-03-16 21:55:46

I saw this dude with a new bumper (black & shiny) riding on Liberty Ave this morning going out-town! I was going the opposite direction and at first-glance I had to almost scratch my head at the sight! He was very polite and yelled good morning! Haha :)


bikeygirl
2010-03-18 20:50:08

My other half, having never read this forum, asked me last night "have you heard of this guy who rides around with a bumper on his bike? they were talking about him on the radio today". She can't remember what station, but apparently people were calling in with stories and such. Amazing.


dwillen
2010-03-18 21:19:17

saw him downtown yesterday morning.


dmtroyer
2010-03-19 14:19:03

I'd love to see a bumper-bike Critical Mass! Perhaps a new trend is brewing, maybe we'll soon be seeing clip-on bumpers at our LBS. :-P

Keepin' it classy with that VW hubcap too. Nice!


Is there a Facebook fan page for Bumper Bike? If not, there should be....


greenbike
2010-03-21 15:53:38

Yeah someone at Spring Roll yesterday said they ran into him and told him he should stop by at the afterparty. No luck there though.


alnilam
2010-03-21 16:53:56

Spotted toolin' up Liberty from Baum today around 1 PM. Appeared to be having an animated conversation with thin air, such that he didn't notice the peace sign I flipped him...I'm gonna assume BB was rocking the Bluetooth headset.


reddan
2010-03-30 19:08:55

I need one of those headsets, just to stick in my ear, so people won't know I'm just talking to myself.


timito

Here you go!


rsprake

I was standing on Penn Avenue at the GA/GI festival this evening, and who rolls by but the object of our affection and wonder, the Bumper Bike himself. I spring into action, grabbing my bike and getting my camera out from my backpack, and pursue him, determined to get a good-quality photo. He turned down South Millvale Avenue, where I was able to snap a few pictures.



I'm posting more--including a rare video--on the Facebook page.


I talked with him briefly at the intersection with Friendship Avenue, and learned his full name. Should I post it here, and thereby ruin his Batman-esque mystique? I'll defer to the wishes of the board.

@rsprake: THANKS!!!


I didn't see Bumper Bike yesterday, but I did see some guy with this Amsterdam-style city bike (i.e. Velorbis or something) complete with chrome fenders and motor. Way classier than the Jeep with chrome hubcaps the next block over.


greenbike
2010-04-03 14:07:39

I saw motored-bike guy going around the lake in Highland Park the other day... took a second to figure out what was going on.


quizbot
2010-04-03 16:02:25

I saw this guy for the first time about a week ago on Liberty downtown... I didn't realize he had such a following, but I'm not surprised given his sheer audacity. I love it.

also kudos to the croce reference. i love that song.


cburch

what happened to the facebook page?


dmtroyer
2010-04-26 20:24:36

It's still up there....it's just a different link since Facebook changed all their privacy settings to "sell your info." Hopefully this works: clicky!

What did you say? "Hey Bumper Bike Man, raise your seat about a foot..."


edmonds59
2010-04-29 15:58:17

I blew a whistle at him for not wearing a helmet.


bradq
2010-04-29 16:04:03

I wonder if he even realizes what a celebrity he is in the biking community, or is he just doing his thing because that the way he rolls?


netviln
2010-04-29 16:07:08

Not just the biking community...they've apparently been discussing him on the X morning show, per a comment I caught this morning when I (gasp!) drove to work.


reddan
2010-04-29 16:23:21

He asked me for a job this week!

Maybe I can at least sponsor the bikes with a big logo?


spakbros
2010-04-29 19:10:49

Brad, I love that picture. How could one go about getting a print of it?


ndromb
2010-04-29 19:45:35

Or at least a high res copy? Not to steal your art or anything.


netviln
2010-04-29 19:55:51

Brad - maybe you could interview him and put the results in the Urban Velo "I love riding in the city" section.


mick

Saw a riderless Bumper Bike parked at the corner of Penn Circle and Sheridan Square...3:40 pm this afternoon.

Brad - maybe you could interview him and put the results in the Urban Velo "I love riding in the city" section.


+1. When I last saw Bumper Bike, I had my camera out to document the occasion. He said he wanted to give me an interview, some other time, when he had the time to spare. So he's probably a "go" for an interview... if you can find him.

He was in Shadyside on Saturday morning, first cruising down Walnut and then stopping in to get his bike detailed at Shadyside Detail.

Nice, Erok.


ndromb
2010-05-03 17:12:17

Saw him this morning, walking a bike I've not seen before along Penn Circle N. I'd like to call it the "white knight" bicycle: pretty much completely white with a white car bumper and a Harley-Davidson style banana seat: black leather with silver studs.


greenbike
2010-05-04 12:47:02

We asked him how many bikes he had. I'm pretty sure he said "eleven thousand".

Aaron came in to the shop the other day, told us that he loved our business and that he wanted to help us out, and gave us a paper bag filled with 3/4 sized photocopied money.

If BB is on the sidewalk, you know there are problems at that juncture.

The leering shadow at the bottom of this photo looks like a haunting foreshadowing of sorts.

Hopefully nothing ominous... the sun was just at my back when I took the pic. I did tell him that his rear tire looked a little soft tho.


quizbot
2010-05-08 22:15:40

That is a new bike for bumper bike. I have never seen the chopper bumper bike before.


igo
2010-05-09 03:28:13

I think that's the bike I saw him on the other day.


greenbike
2010-05-09 04:25:34

evidently he has quite a selection.


saltm513
2010-05-09 05:37:10

He was riding the chopper when we rode with him at the last critical mass.


robjdlc
2010-05-09 21:07:49

It looked really flippin heavy, especially with those massive tires. He pulled up on the sidewalk like that every other block, probably to take a breather from pedaling that beast.


dwillen
2010-05-09 22:55:34

Passed a bumper on Negley this afternoon...looked perfect for a new bike.

There's an abandoned yellow BB on Gold Way in North Oakland (alley between Craig and Melwood / Center and Baum). It's been sitting there for at least a day, was there at 6:30pm tonight.




quizbot

Oh sad! That's the one I saw him on a few weeks back during morning rush hour. Maybe he doesn't like yellow anymore...


mustion

If he doesn't have one already, I think this should serve as some inspiration for a Batman Bumper Bike: Batmobile Golf Cart

Maybe he's parked the yellow BB till July's Tour de France.

My bf is trying to find him to interview him for a Pittsburgh based blog he has... anyone have any suggestions on finding him other than the ones that aren't posted already in this thread? I know he's often seen around east lib/bloomfield/garfield.


coley
2010-05-25 20:46:03

you don't find Aaron, he finds you it seems.


Also, the yellow bumper bike (sans bumper) has been leaning against a pole by the bmw dealer on center, UNLOCKED, for well over a week now. amazing


spakbros

coley - he told me i could always find him at the presby church on friendship on sunday afternoons. but good luck with that.


turkeyclaw

i've ridden past the abandoned bike and have been sad to see that the bumper is gone. maybe he took the bumper and put it on another bike...


mustion

His bike is locked up outside the church most Sundays, so that's actually a pretty good bet.


escargonaut
2010-05-26 00:41:26

I saw the yellow bike there the other day and wondered if it was indeed his bike.


There are now at least four bumpers in a lot across from the old Texaco station on Negley Avenue, at Rural Street.


ieverhart

I saw a bumper bike parked here Monday night. It had a front bumper, a rear bumper and was all black. Didn't see any hubcaps, though.

rear bumper? that's new. maybe he had a run in with the bus driver too and is going for protection.

He's been seen in the East End, primarily. I wonder how far he travels routinely, and how far out into the boonies he's ever traveled with a bumper attached.


I know I sure wouldn't want to attempt Perry Highway or McKnight Road with one of those!

The infamous bumper bike fellow rolled up to me at the bus stop in Oakland last night, across from Hemingways. I complimented his contraption and he gave me a little tour of it--pointed out the new rims(tin foil/aluminum) and the tiny steering wheel fashioned behind the bumper. Then he asked me on a date and told me how he was the designer behind the black Spiderman suit, and that Ice Cube's character in Torque is based on his life. Then we had a pretty awesome talk about drugs in the city and gentrification.

Lots to report lately. I saw the Bumper Bike Dude in East Liberty on Friday, on Penn Avenue near Highland. Then the green bumper bike was leaning up outside St. Paul Cathedral in Oakland on Sunday afternoon--I guess he's Catholic.


My dad says he was on the highway part of Bigelow Boulevard this morning, and also today my brother reports a conversation with him where he only indirectly asked for money, but did say he wanted to find a job.

I spotted him at the carnival in Oakland last night and thought he was wearing a vest of some kind - guess I was right, it was definitely the batman outfit without the mask.


robjdlc
2010-10-09 16:46:20

does he have lights for his bike? I've just realized he might be riding around, dressed all in black, on a black bike, with a black bumper, at night. Great for fighting crime and vehicular misconceptions, lousy for traffic. I've never seen him riding around at night, and I'm sure he's fine, but now I'm going to worry until I hear or see otherwise, or can get a blinky to him. Sigh. I've turned in to my grandmother.


ejwme
2010-10-11 13:52:51

No reflectors or lights that I could see. And, right after this photo, he ran a red light and crossed the intersection at 45 degrees (but did look all directions first). He's pretty hard to miss in the day.


pseudacris
2010-10-11 17:00:17

I handed him my rear blinky a few weeks ago. He clipped it on the front bumper and it immediately fell off and broke.


joeframbach
2010-10-11 17:33:28

hmm. Are there any cool reflective stickers that might better stay on his bumpers? I shall think a spell and see if I can't find a way to help him in a useful way to be more visible at night (if he wants, of course).


ejwme
2010-10-11 19:02:30

A generator hub that lights christmas lights to cover the bumper. I don't even know if that makes sense.

If you dress in black and ride a black bike with no reflectors, no one will see you riding around at night, either.

Folks,


Let's review the Bumper Bike situation:


1) Aaron is not just a colorful character, he's someone with mental health issues. One of the reasons you see him around Bloomfield is because that's where he goes for support (i.e., the anonymous building just west of the Bloomfield Bridge)


2) He has enough problems, to the extent that he is not entire managing to make good use of the available social services (due to the other people in his life, the limited resources in the system and his own, dysfunctional, behavior).


3) I understand (from this bboard) that his family has asked that people leave him alone, at least to the extent of not treating him as a curiosity and making him an object of interwebs attention. Keep that in mind.


If you want to help Aaron you can take a bit of time to chat with him, and maybe give him a couple of bucks. Be sure to ask him how things are going with the agency.




ahlir
2010-12-29 23:55:34

I agree that we shouldn't make a spectacle of the man, but on the other hand he does seem to love all of the attention he gets. He's always excited and eager to have his picture taken or to talk to people about his bike.


rick
2010-12-30 20:26:12

I have disgusted this topic at length with many people. It is a very complex situation, without an easy solution.


Last time I saw Aaron, I gave him $40 to get a room for the night, and I ran into him 2 hours later and he lost the money. He had tears in his eyes and he gave me a very long (very awkward) hug.


I think the best thing we can do as a community is take Aaron in as a friend. He seems to be a great guy at heart, but it seems nothing works out for him.


Every time I see him, I just try to remind him that there are a lot of people who are doing what they can to look out for him, and not to hesitate to ask Pittsburgh cyclists for help.


He does love the attention, but he also has the idea in his head that there are people out there making money off of him. Although this is not entirely true, it is something that we should consider.


There was talk previously about setting up a website and creating some merchandise with the proceeds going into an account for him. The issue is, (history has shown) he isn't capable of handling money, and from what he tells me, people tend to take advantage of him on the street, and he frequently gets robbed. He has also told me that neighborhood kids vandalize his bikes.


So what can we do?


-Show compassion towards him.

-Give/get him food.

-Help him with his bikes.

-Discuss his situation with other people to make more people aware.


I will get a bunch of reflective vinyl for him and encourage him to decorate his bikes with it.

has anyone seen aaron around lately? I don't usually spot the bumper bike during the winter.


caitlin

Keeping an eye out but haven't seen him or one of his rides parked anywhere for a month or so.


quizbot
2011-01-08 04:21:00

I spoke with him Thursday morning outside Jitters on Walnut. That's the PNC branch he says is giving him problems, but he has a new account somewhere else. He says in the spring we'll have a parade and we'll all ride bumper bikes. I'm down.


joeframbach
2011-01-08 21:03:32

A parade of 40 bumper bikes is one thing. 40 bumper bikes going in 40 different directions is something else again. I'd really like to see both.


stuinmccandless
2011-01-08 21:12:12

I think the bumpers could create some unpleasant domino situations... Or else we'd have to stay in strict formation and behave less like a school of fish, more like a precise "V" of migrating birds, or a trail of ants. Trail of Anticycles? no, not quite right... If I weren't so tired I'd do better, I'm sorry.


Stu, could you bumperfy a unicycle?


ejwme
2011-01-09 02:07:49

I have a better idea for a car part for the wheel: a VW Beetle rear lid / engine cover. It was going to be one of my projects for 2010. It needs a paint job and some method for attaching it, but I think the idea is workable.


stuinmccandless

sgtjonson

I don't know if he has "mental problems". He seems like a good dude that cruises around with a bumper. Can't blame him. I think he is cool and I see nothing wrong with being visible. Hope to meet him. I ride in his areas, but ride earlier than he does most of the time. Cool post, thanks for sharing.


2012-07-18 20:01:18

add another to the list of people who hasn't seen him around and was wondering how he was doing. i was riding through east liberty the other day, and he popped into my head. good to know he's still out there.


hiddenvariable
2012-07-18 21:06:34

@hcurtis- as a non-medical professional, but someone who has interacted with him several times (he refers to me as the "Chinese kid") I am a firm believer he has mental health issues. In addition to the conversations that I have had with him, StefB and I also saw some of his prescriptions a few years ago and StefB said she recognized them as anti-psychotics.

ken-kaminski
2012-07-20 12:40:57

While the idea is thoughtful, why don't we raise money to get him something useful instead of a ticket to a party?


stefb
2012-07-20 14:26:18

Why not do both?


ken-kaminski
2012-07-20 14:27:41

Because I'm betting Bike Pgh could bend the rules and just invite him for free? If he even wants to go to a big ass crazy party...


cburch
2012-07-20 14:50:42

From postings by people who have interacted with him on a regular basis (see earlier pages, this thread), and from discussions with his family relayed by other parties (I think youtube has some public), I'm not sure it's the best idea...


Don't get me wrong, I really like him - I like his enthusiasm for riding a bike, and he has been nothing but super friendly on the few occasions we've met, he clearly has a big heart and is a super sweet guy.


But there's more to the story, there's some darker edges that make it a tricky situation for everybody close to him. I'm not saying don't raise money for a ticket, I'm not saying don't raise money to help him (an idea I like better). I'm just saying... please proceed with respect, delicate caution, and controlled (or no) expectations.


Celebrity status is difficult in the best of situations, please tread carefully.


ejwme
2012-07-20 15:04:45

Exactly. Thank you for expressing my concerns so well!


cburch
2012-07-20 15:14:09

My memory is not so good, but I seem to recall him being at some party before. I think it was at FreeRide, but this could be a total figment of my imagination.


I don't know Aaron's life story either, but I cannot imagine being invited to hang out with people who recognize you and are generally interested in your well being is a bad thing.


I don't know what a celebrity is or how they're treated, but I'm treating Aaron like somebody I'd like to see at a party that's about riding bikes around the city. Aaron has contributed to that.


@stefb


What do you suggest? Or what does somebody else suggest that knows his family or more about his background? I don't think it's within my power at the moment to change this guy's life, but we can give him some respite from it for an evening, if he's interested.


sgtjonson
2012-07-20 15:49:20

He's one of us.


ken-kaminski
2012-07-21 04:33:33

I'd tread cautiously. Myself, I don't go to Bike Fest parties for the same reason I don't go to any other noisy parties: I don't enjoy them. I didn't in high school or college, and I haven't since.


If we really wanted to do something for Aaron, I'd first find out what he wanted, and what would do him the most good and the least harm.


stuinmccandless
2012-07-21 13:47:56

Exactly.


cburch
2012-07-21 14:21:54

I'm open to persuasion here. I just don't understand why going to a party with a lot of nice, mild-mannered folks is likely to harm Aaron.


ken-kaminski
2012-07-21 14:23:30

Sometimes parties are too much for people with psychological issues, diagnosed, or undiagnosed.


stefb
2012-07-21 15:07:17

Alright, shall we keep an eye out for Aaron and find out what he could use? I haven't seen him myself in maybe a year


sgtjonson
2012-07-21 15:11:24

Just one example, if he has an alcohol dependency problem, being in a roomful of beer might not be the best thing to happen to him.


stuinmccandless
2012-07-21 23:14:26

You guys have put enough doubt into me that I'm balking. I'm super disappointed :(


ken-kaminski
2012-07-22 04:12:48

No, just take advantage of the opportunity to help him by actually helping him, not just help him have someone else's idea of a good time. That's not something to be disappointed about, just a little more work.


stuinmccandless
2012-07-22 09:09:18

sgtjonson

I was riding on Ellsworth around that new pedestrian bridge and saw a bumper on the side of the road. Hope that wasn't his, but it made me think of the bumper cyclist.


2012-07-23 14:43:08
So, at dinner tonight, I see a car bumper and a bike laid out on a sidewalk in Oakland; I become gravely concerned that we've just rolled up on a bike vs car accident... as I get closer, I realize it's Bumper Dude's ride. Then, after reading this thread I'm saddened to recall that his ride was in front of a bar. :(
rustyred
2013-09-12 20:37:09
@RustyRed: That sounds awful... I hope it wasn't an accident. Or Aaron. I most recently ran into Aaron while riding through some part of Homewood (earlier this summer). He seemed in good spirits and we gave each other a wave. Though he did seem a bit less spirited than I remembered. The mental health clinic in Bloomfield shut down a while ago, maybe one reason we don't see him along our normal bikeways so much anymore. Anyway, do let's try to be nice to him (I'm saying this after skimming through the last few pages of this topic). Talk to him, give him a few bucks if he asks; the light will change and you can just ride away. And remember: there but for the grace of the god(s) go I.

No, I'm sorry, I didn't express that very well, did I? *smacks self in head* ...it looked like (after a second look) he had it parked in front of Chief's and it just fell over. (It's alarming to see a bumper and a bike lying on the sidewalk!) If he's in Chief's, I'm sad to see he's still having alcohol issues.

Aaron in good spirits a few days ago. His front v-brake was busted and he was looking for a helmet. I don't bump into him very often. I know folk here have helped out in the past and are likely in closer contact. Please let me know if you're in touch with him. It'd be great to at least fix his front brakes.
devohelmetguy

Yeah, I saw him last week, happy it seemed. On that day he had replaced his bumper with a hubcap. When I asked about it, he said "All the people in the way." He repeated something over and over, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. He said he would ride along with me for awhile, but took a turn in another direction.

Ran in to him in Bloomfield last week, the day after Christmas. He flagged me down urgently and asked for a few bucks to get something to eat. He seemed to be repeating himself a lot and acting a bit erratic. Regardless, I gave him some petty cash to help him out. Hope he's doing alright.
benzo

I remembered something else Aaron said about why he replaced his bumper with a hub cap. He said everyone wanted to take his picture. Thinking back, that seemed to agitate him a little, just a little.

I've taken and shared pictures at his request. I wouldn't do that otherwise. Here's the car-bike setup. I'm with Benzo on helping out with coffee and food. Let's coordinate to make sure he's OK. It's too cold to be outside let alone riding without gloves

Here's a picture from today (1-05-2014). On Penn Ave near Giant Eagle and Trader Joe's. He asked me to take the picture, then said "take another." The toy truck is tied on with a necktie - I thought that was inventive. And like the last time I saw him, he also has a hubcap and no bumper. I asked "I heard you were living in Verona?" He replied "My girlfriend kicked me out." He said he was "living on the street." I gave him some cash, wished him well. He kept repeating the words to a song "It doesn't matter if you're black or white. It doesn't matter if you're black or white, you see?" Hmmm, not sure what to think of the whole encounter - how much do I actually believe what he says? - I want to believe him, and I hope he has a place during the next few frigid days.

He doesn't have a home according to the guy I know that knows him, but he sometimes gets a place to sleep here and there. He was in Verona for a bit, but maybe that didn't work out? I will ask more about him next time I see that dude that knows him. I was hoping he found a place to live in Verona, since he has been there for a bit. He may be on the move again. Not sure.

What might be Aaron's bike has been parked in front of the Mad Mex on Highland for a bit. As of maybe a few days ago it had a black bumper attached. That's gone. The hubcap is there (but a piece is broken off, on the ground to the left. The red and black thing looks to be a toy truck. The bike is not chained. But I somehow doubt it will get stolen (more likely a scavenger will snag it); the back wheel is badly bend and the bike can't be ridden. Does anyone know the story, if there is one? While I was poking around, a couple of workers from one of the restaurants were having a smoke outside and seemed to maybe know something. I didn't have the presence of mind to ask them. If you follow that Tag-o-Rama thing on an adjoining thread, I should say that this was going to be my pick. But on reflection I struck me that using it would be a wrong, especially if something had happened to Aaron. On the other hand if you read this far, think of this post as a free clue. The tag at bat is not all that far away. [Note: I realize that this bike is different from the one(s) in the snaps above from a couple of weeks ago. So maybe I'm just imagining things; but it did have a bumper attached at some point...]

I saw him on the 14th in Bloomfield. I was having lunch at Tessaro's; he rolled by on a bike that was in much better shape than the one pictured above. It had a hubcap affixed to the handlebars. When we walked out he was outside the coffee shop on the side street; he heckled us from the other side of the street as we walked to the car. So, as of the 14th he was alive and well, and hopefully still is.

Car bike looks dead :( He was out and about yesterday on another bumper bike. I believe he's sleeping outside in this weather. That's very rough. They didn't teach me how to help humans at robot school so it'd be great if someone familiar with available services could speak up. And if anyone from Sunoco is on the board please hook him up with a sponsorship deal.

This thread makes me sad, and more than a little uncomfortable. Some people have it really hard for what reason or reasons. Nobody much wants to talk about it when they're going through it let alone have others talking about it. Ignoring those who need help doesn't solve anything either. So I don't know. I'll just say that a man with so much devotion to biking and clearly some mechanical skills to go with would probably be quiet decent at making or fixing bikes or bike related stuff and should make enough from it not to sleep on the street. Someone has to believe in this guy first though.

Ben you are such a fine person. I think Aaron's situation has more to do with our failure to have a comprehensive, effective, caring mental health system than nobody believing in him. And it's a shame either way. EditToAdd: that's not a knock on the caregivers and folks in that field. Society's budget, priorities, decisions and systems are inadequate.

@byogman: I agree with your sentiment. I don't know what I can do for Aaron but I think it's important to work to maintain awareness in our community. I'd rather he be someone familiar, even at second remove. Enough so that you're ok with waving to him as you ride by, or giving him a couple of bucks if he asks. I really like the idea of maybe getting him connected to some sort of practical bike activity (like repairs). But making that work is really hard, and it's a job for professionals. I speak as someone who had tried, over many years, to get a bipolar friend on their feet and functional. It was very, very hard. I failed. And I no longer see how good intentions and energy on their own can accomplish anything enduring. But it is doable. Also keep in mind that in our current political narrative people like Aaron are "moochers" who are owed nothing and deserve to be ignored and trampled into the ground. That's not right. Remember this in November and vote for people who promise to reject this hatred.

I saw him semi-recently---was riding down Liberty, and he wandered over from where he'd been to wave and say hi. I've seen him once or twice but never spoken to him; it seemed to be just a general hey to another biker on the road. Not sure what date; it's been over a week since I've been on my bike, however. I think it was the corner at the Crazy Mocha, but I might be off by a block either direction.

I know some things about mental illness. Enough to say that good intentions can count for a lot less than it seems they should. The enemy is in the control room. But one thing that does count for more than it seems it should is having something to do, something you have to do, a routine around which you can build a day that feels normal, lets you see yourself in a normal way and doesn't leave you constantly drowning in the poisonous bullshit your mind is feeding you. The most common good answer to that question is a job. It's not the whole answer by any means. As has correctly been pointed out our system is a disgraceful shambles... real continuous and responsive care is a must for all and right now almost nobody really has it, and many (generally those with the worst diagnosis) have nothing at all but doctors that see them for a few minutes at a time in hospitals and well meaning but also overburdened staff with nothing enduring at all to come of it. But even if you fix all that, still no stable productive routine to center you? Any grip on things is very tenuous indeed.

I finally met him in person, rather than seeing him out riding. I walked into Big Idea for a quick bite & drink, and a book, and there he was, chatting with the cashier. We had a nice little chat about how he helped develop the DeLorean car, and how he planned to fly his helicopter to Florida soon. He seems genuinely sincere about whatever he's talking about, and is very easy to talk with. If this is mental instability, there are several other people in my world who appear less stable than that.

Chatted with him for a while sidelined with cramps on the teamdecaf ride. He was sans bike and talking about going to California to film something related to bumper bike, bike pittsburgh, etc... Very personable, started off by asking if I was ok, which I was, but was appreciated. The way he talked up bike pittsburgh was sweet. Being hugged was really unexpected. I hope he gets something out of these flights of fancy and doesn't crash too hard from them. I hope something a little more grounded actually turns out for him (like, previously mentioned, a steady job). We did get to the fact that his current situation is very bad. I gave him some money for food.

I saw him Sunday with a great bumper bike combo in bloomfield. He looked hard pressed.
