To Boldly Bike Where No Man Has Biked Before
To Boldly Bike Where No Man Has Biked Before

Two words: Pussy. Magnet.
This sweet, sweet ride is actually from the 1982 San Diego Comic Con of which there are a treasure trove of pics by photographer Alan Light. It’s definitely worth checking out to see how nerds have evolved (and not evolved) over the last 26 years, but I still feel this picture is the cream of the crop. Much thanks to Zach for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
