    Ive been wondering how long the Austin Urban Assault people were going to last before the Adventure Fit people caught wind of it. Unfortunately its all a matter of who trademarked it first.

    So locals cant use "Urban Assault" in local promos. Who cares. What do we all know it by? URBAN ASSAULT.

    Hmm...I read over their description of what urban assualt ride is, and it seems to me that WAR does not infringe on it. I'd say keep using it.

    EM-50 "Urban Assault Vehicle"

    I think the writers of the movie "Stripes" had first dibs on creative use of the term "Urban Assault"

    This is Bull.
    10 years ago David Hataway used to post "Urban Assault Rides".
    Friday nights.
    All over downtown Austin.
    Multi-story parking lots. Shoal Creek. Hike & bike trail. Peace Park.
    Maybe WE should have trademarked the name.
    But, then we would of had to get lawyers, become assholes, etc.
    -----
    I'm going for an Urban Assault ride to clear my head.
    Do I need to ask somebody's permission??

    Hmmm...like the SRV statue pub crawls of old w/lots o'irish pub stops? Can I ride my cruiser? Easier to not fall over on a bike you can ride flat footed.

    Hell yeah, that's the kind of Urban Assault I think of when I read those words, not some overproduced prefab bicycle race. I've posted your ride date on atxbs.com, and'll keep an eye here for updates.
