Just when you thought cycling news stories couldn't get any dumber...

Yeah, but you're not calling yourself a bike "Stud" or some such nonsense. Just doesn't come across the same...

i found the article amusing. it said he had buff arms. his arms looked like mine.
SKINNY.

and I agree, better an 8K bike than a 25K motorcycle !!

Maybe it is the "cycle stud" nickname, and all the hype about lycra and spandex....there are really few guys who look sexy to me in spandex, even less with shaved arms and legs (notice the article says it helps them ride faster, not to make roadrash easier to deal with!) I hate my stubble, the last thing I want is my DH's stubbled legs on me! While I have no problem with adults getting into cycling at any age and spending money on a Damn good bike (they're adults and can afford it), the article is quite funny.

even though I am well past the midlife crisis- I would so love to be able to pull it off with a straight face if it meant I could justify buying another bike to add to the one I already own and love- heck I have enough love for 2- But now himself, who has pretty much given up road riding but still does spin class purely for exercise 4 x a week, is beginning to even poo poo my long expressed wish to have a trek madone ( preferably cutstomized, preferably a 6.5) for my 65th birthday in a couple of years- I keep making pointed comments to my kids as well- but no one seems to be listening.

ROFL!!! I love the man but this is so true, and he looks so overflowingly fat in lycra, but lord love him, he is at least getting some exercise.
