I'm pretty uncool, too. Notably the "Cat 5" mark, or whatever they called it. Oh well.

I am afraid of slipping and hitting my head on the counter.

What's really un-cool is that he calls a sports bra a "jog bra"

I love it! And pretty much every point he made had a lot of truth to it:-) It made me smile!

If I had that guy on a blind date we'd last about 5 minutes together. ;)

Hey, I think if you look good enough to ride in a "jog bra" then I say go for it!

His use of the term was rather grating.

He must not get to hang out around a lot of women :rolleyes: :cool: It's good he has trackstands and bike beanies to console him ;)

I thought it was pretty funny but got tired of the pat ending "And Please, No....."

And if I could wear my "JOG" bra when riding, I would. I am always too hot. (I'd need a more upright bike though, being down in the drops increases the 'rolls'. :) )

He obviously has not read our endless musings on what on earth to do with "the girls" and bib shorts. :rolleyes: Where do the straps go? Inside, outside, where do I put them?

But for heaven’s sake, take it off when you walk into the coffee shop! Are you afraid of slipping and hitting your head on the counter?
Well, duh...... yeah!


Your jersey must match your shorts, which must match your arm warmers, which must match your socks.

See, they don't warn us before we get into this sport how Difficult it really is!


Tan lines are the proud mark of a real cyclist.

Well at least I'm doing one thing right.

Hilarious article, thanks for the laugh!

Hi Sarah,

So funny. Thanks.

about the clipping out at the stop light. totally cool if you can stand still. Not so cool if you are barely able to track stand and being jerky on the bike.

And totally uncool if you come to a complete stop, track stand and proceed to topple over. However, if you start laughing your head off then you regain some coolness because then it means youo had a momentary lapse of whatever.

Okay to come to a complete stop, track stand for few second, have a look of disgust, unclip and dismount. It says, I'm sooo coool that I don't have to show off. And I'm not wasting my energy to show off.

Like YAH! Only a dope would take off their helmet and then have to HOLD it while fumbling for change and balancing a baguette. :rolleyes: That guy obviously never stops at the bakery while riding his bike.

P.S. ....and your sunscreen, young lady?????

This guy has the right idea....just cover the nipples and you're set to go!

Guess he'd frown upon the Keen commuters I just ordered :p. I can't wait 'til fall so I can wear them with striped knee socks.

Sometimes my dbf laughs at me when I'm about to head out for a ride. When I get that reaction, I know I look perfect.

Jersey must match bibs, which must match armwarmer? Someone spent a little too much time in Garanimals.

I think I put some on the day I arrived in France. :D How'd I get the cool tan lines if I wore sunscreen?

That's perfect!

I had to disagree with him on the "century jersey" part. Hey I worked HARD for my DMD and Death Ride jerseys and I am NOT afraid to wear them! :D DH on the other hand is the full kit man these days. Right now the Capo stuff is his fave. Everything has to match. :rolleyes: Metro.... :cool:

No guy I know would wear those bibs without a base layer underneath.
Chafed and raw nipples are so UNcool.....:eek:

That's what the teeny bit of duct tape over the nipples is for.

He finally found a good use for those 1/2" little round bandaids that always come in the "assortment" box.


P.S. Notice he's wearing red bike shorts. See other thread.

in which Anonymous says "The round band-aids are a better option for men. They will cover your nipples but not leave those boundaries and encroach on your hairy-ness. If you actually enjoy ripping out chest hairs when removing your standardd band-aids after a race then please disregard this public service announcement."
