#7 I was a nationally-ranked bicycle racer until they discovered I was using a hidden motor.
I forgot one day to pedal and someone noticed.....

They are riding bikes for God’s sake. How much more green can you get?

That happened and it is why they now x-ray the bike before the start. IIRC.

225 lbs here. 6’2” and not fat. But never raced a bicycle (over 800 sailboard races though) however I once matched a friend (who did race) on a flat 20 mile “all out” ride.

He liked to call my legs “cannons”.

Best to you Slim!

“They are riding bikes for God’s sake. How much more green can you get?”

Yeah—but how many took airplanes or autos to get to the start of the race.

BTW, in 989 days, all music by The Cars will also be banned. And what is “rock and roll hair” anyway?
