    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.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    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.

    Better than dissecting his other features.
    Hey, I'm not bored at all!

    (FWIW, i was joking around. Pie plates and reflectors definitely have their own quirky charms.)

    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.
    I can do five more miles.

    That explains the big cushy saddle.

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

    I believe she is off debasing men. There is definitely debauchery involved and hopefully many more photographs objectifying men and showing them for the simple hormone driven sexual creatures that they are
