    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"

    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.

    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. 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. That guy obviously never stops at the bakery while riding his bike.

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