Are you wondering if you've got the right colour bar tape jersey or socks? This should be the guy to ask. He can't sing (or dance), but he sure looks sharp ;)

Now I wanna go up Mt. Tam with a baguette and a bottle of wine, too...

How will you get a bottle of wine into the cages? Seems like it would be a bit heavy to go in a jersey pocket. :D

Wonder if he could ride better without the smokes.

At least HE can make wearing white shorts not look so bad. ;)

Whatta guy!

My dog sleeps through anything but he woke up and grumbled about this. I had the Hornby eagle cam up too and the baby eagle worked surprisingly well with the music.

Right - because that was without a doubt Mt. Tam.

Somewhere I have a picture of me trucking down the road with a bottle of "vin rouge" in each of the outside jersey pockets and one in the downtube bottle cage ;-) We'd made a stop at one of the local wineries during a touring ride, and I was transporting my purchases back to the truck ;-)

Exactly.
I've had black bar tape on all of my bikes. I have red now, but black is just easier. Doesn't show dirt and matches everything. I could care less about color and never have considered it when choosing a bike.

That's why I wear all black shorts- because I can spit on my greasy hands, wipe them on my shorts and no one knows the difference.:)

Ditto the black bar tape. I once had blue but it got so dirty so fast. Sometimes I feel sort of like the charles schultz peanuts character pigpen. Dirt just seems to spontaneously appear whenever I am around the bike.

She's making a joke, referring to a discussion we had rolling during one of the previous TdF's about how suddenly everyone had white bar tape, how many hours were spent every night re-wrapping bars with fresh white tape, etc.
