It’s the fact that those tiny little seats really crush your b@llz that attracts them.

Silly peon. They are better than the dirty lowers and probably shop at w(hole) foods.

It took them this long to notice? Cycle-snobbery has been an issue here since the 1970s. And I say that as someone who used to cycle 30km a day for my commute.

LOL! Can’t forget those goofy looking teardrop helmets and those nifty “Live Strong” rubber wrist bands.

I generally suspect a significant percentage of the guys dressing up in plum snuggling spandex and venturing forth on the highways do so to attract other guys.

You should see ‘em jump when you pass them on a Harley with straight pipes and crack the throttle.

Think I’ll buy me a neon fuschia Spandex outfit to wear on the Harley.

I used to love riding my bike when I was a kid. But when I got my driver’s license, I never felt much need to do it again. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.

If they’re not doing at least 60mph, they need to stay the hell out of my way.

Maryland has started putting up those “Share the road” signs everywhere here in the hills.
Apparently, they make really great targets.

Every pastime has some jerks in it.
It’s what humans do best.

That is just awesome.
I wanted hubby to rig my pipes to shoot flame but dang it, he won’t do it.
[but I could adjust my fuel mixture a bit richer to get a similar effect]

Yep, same here.
Jumping homemade ramps is fun.
Burning rubber is funner.
