    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?

    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.

    Guess he'd frown upon the Keen commuters I just ordered . 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.

    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! DH on the other hand is the full kit man these days. Right now the Capo stuff is his fave. Everything has to match. Metro....

    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?????

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