Thorn, I agree. The pot belly tells me a lot more about the rider than age or gender. But, I guess we have to get used to being perceived as old.

I do wonder about the author saying riding in such wind was "super fun." True, it can be, but in a storm of historic proportions, biking could be dangerous.

Still, it's a cool photo and I'm glad you posted it.
