Are you referring to the horrible noise at the time he was coasting by the disabled truck? Yes, that's right. Although in this case it could have been some normal but horrible "chain management" [1] sound from a bike with an eight-foot chain. Chalo [1] "Chain management" is what recumbentists call it when their bikes are so grievously ill-conceived that the chain would intersect itself, the bike's structure, or the rider's body if not routed around rollers or through conduits or guides. The rest of us would more likely call it "mechanical interference". |

The people who ride them think bent an abbreviation of recumbent. Others know better. "Bent" is slang indicating either a form of corruption or perversion "he's bent" or a position of sodomization "get bent." |
