How You Really Live Longer ... Stylin' With Pimp My Ride, Detroit Style


‘King’ Wayne of East Side Riders (not pictured) is there on a stretched bike with fat wheels. He shows off photos of his most outrageous creation on his phone: a four-wheeled bike complete with working 32-inch TV, family-size BBQ grill … and obligatory sound system

We're not sure if the man in the picture is 'King Wayne' or if he's some guy who just happened to be there with a cool bicycle.  Check out the article for the most insanely cool bicycles you may ever see only these ones aren't for racing, they're for stylin' the way Detroit likes to do it.  (The Guardian:  Pimp my bike: Detroit's custom cycles – in pictures)

Yevette might make the cut for riding with this crowd now that she has her authentic Schwinn Sting-Ray.  It's got the orange metal flake paint and she put a custom seat, custom handlebars, etc on it. Maybe she could be the height of cool in Detroit.

Ed:  it's got to be cooler than Texas, right?

You're missing the point, Dallas Cowboy, so let's define cool in terms of The Hawk in Chicago.

Ed:  you mean the wind which blows in the Winter and freezes the blood in your veins before you can even say, "Holy fuck!  I wish I was in Texas!"

Right you are, matey mate.   That's The Hawk, alright.  Let's hear Lou Rawls about that Hawk.
