so how do the cyclist haters feel about rollin' coal? or did i just cause your liberal prius-loving brains to short circuit?

Just as a general note: those rollin' coal pipes are typically exactly the same circumference as a league-standard basketball.

It was really bad around here before Lance Armstrong was utterly disgraced and you would just have roving packs of wannabes in their "sponsored" jerseys biking every where at rush hour but since the whole doping scandal kinda depressed that.

Yeah that's below the national average and only San Antonio has a lower percentage of black people of the major metro areas. Houston and Dallas are almost a quarter black.

"There are not a lot of black people in Austin" is a completely non controversial statement that literally no one in Austin would disagree with.

Many city leaders constantly lament how Austin drives black people away (black population was 13.5% in 1950) and is always trying to find ways to make Austin more attractive to black people.
