My favorite line from Le Tour's Team time trial:
15:21 CEST
FDJeux.com sets off in the pouring rain in their nearly all-white skinsuits. Oh dear.
[i]hence... WHITE SHORTS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED!!!!

Oh- white bike shorts are the worst!!
During the Tour I just wanted to scream...no white shorts! They should be outlawed !Especially in the rain.
During the Olympics I noticed a lot of the runners had lycra shorts as well- and again, the coloured shorts seemed to be much more revealing than the black shorts. Unless those guys were...well- you know!
Anyway, my humble, professional artist inspired explanation is the reflection of light...
in other words, the colour of black shorts is denser, and doesn't allow for the reflection of light waves off the material the same way lighter colours do...
hence... WHITE SHORTS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED!!!!

Whe you come to the end of all you know-
and you are about to step off into the darkness
faith is knowing one of two things will happen-
there will be something solid to stand on-
or you will be taught to fly...

OK...this is an older thread - but thank each N every one of you for making my day while @ work. Have you ever tried to laugh hilariously - quietly??....thanks yet again ladies for a very - uhmumm - entertaining afternoon!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
