Bike Hut

Years ago, someone recommended Victor at the Bike Hut on Pier 40 as a place to go for bike repairs and related used items. I liked going there, because the money you spend goes towards mentoring kids (it's a nonprofit), and Victor was an interesting fellow.

Unfortunately, Victor moved on, and another "activist" is running the joint. What an irritating fellow. I was just trying to have a conversation with the guy. The city built him a new building, and he complained about that (they took so long; I wish they had just given me the money; they had the crappy lowest bidder do it...) He complained about the guy running the pier where it's located. He complained about the people who VISIT him "They all want to know where the restroom is. OPEN YOUR EYES, I say, LOOK..." points in direction.

It wasn't just the complaining, it was also that if you tried to use any gap in his complaining to say something, he would immediate launch into some other diatribe, not giving you any chance to speak, inform, rebut, or discuss. What a miserable crank. It's easy to see why he's pissed off at the world, because he lacks the basic social skills to participate in a simple conversation. These are the kind of people who give Critical Mass a bad name. Is this someone appropriate for mentoring youth?
