In before some old FReepers come on and say they were former nationally-ranked bicycle racers.

At one point I may have been nationally ranked... dead last.

I was the world’s slowest category 3 for 15 years. My racing autobiography would have been “On a clear day you can see the leaders”. Does that count?

I was a locally ranked BMX racer back in the 80s. Last is still a ranking. I was doing great until upon from a medium-sized jump I remembered why I got my Allen wrench and my Kentucky adjustable out of the toolbox before the race. My handle bars folded like a cheap suit.

I’m a little confused though I always thought Hinault was called the Tiger not the Badger.

#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.....
