It`s a mystery to me how they manage to keep upright on the bikes. There
is also another type that manage to pedal really slowly but go like the
clappers. Make Lance Armstrong look slow!!!!!!

Oh, that's the lost art of cycling in the right gear! How much easier
on the eye it
is than those mountain bikers with their little-fat-legs flailing
round and round and
the bike scarcely moving up a slight incline. I don't really think
you should have
more gears than IQ points, do you?

not if you wear pink lycra.

Theres a very valid reason for the pink lycra but it escapes me at the moment.

It's a warning for the normal to keep out of the way.

Overheard conversation...

"Why do you wear pink lycra to cycle to work on your light weight
bike?"
"to keep fit"
"Wouldn't you keep fitter wearing normal clothes and cycling to work
on a normal bike?"

Behind cyclist's back "Any normal person turning up for work dressed
in pink lycra would be sectioned"
