Whew! I can leave my reflectors on. Good. That way I won't get a traffic citation. I think there's even a fine here for riding in traffic without them.

But (showing my absolute bike dorkiness) what's a pieplate? I have three, but they're all in the kitchen cupboard for when I bake multiple pies.

She's referring to the big plastic chain protector on the back wheel. It is sometimes referred to as a pie plate. Sometimes, it's referred to as a "dork disc." Often times, folks just remove it as unnecessary.

A pie plate is a spoke protector.

Oops, 7 and I overlapped, and it looks like I was correcting her on chain protector. I really don't know, it's chain or spoke, maybe both, probably neither.

So, did you ask the honey how far he was riding? And, did you notice if he was wearing any bottoms? From this angle, he looks possibly nekkid.

I think spoke is probably technically more accurate.

He was riding the length of the C&O. Since it's been done countless times before, he wanted to be the first to do it sans trousers. A real hard-ask.

My own trail honey told me I must remove my pie plates from my bikes. Then we were mountain biking and his chain got sucked into the spokes.

Because he didn't have a pie plate.

That explains the big cushy saddle.

Every time I glance at this thread I think about a new trail bar.

Is Zen off searching for her trail honey?

Where'd she go?
