Am I a real cyclist now??

[Duck on Wheels]

Well, I'm LOL at your Lycra comment!!

I am EVER-SO-GRATEFUL for the manufacturer's of baggy bike shorts! I just don't like anything to cling to me and I could never get used to lycra. I don't even like my shirts to fit snug either.

This is why I had to turn down the job of prima ballerina in the Moscow ballet. Just could not wear the prerequisite tights.

And here I thought I could have tried for that job if only I'd learned Russian. Oh well. Just as well I never got past book one. I haven't got a figure for spandex anyway, and my size 12 feet could never squeeze into toe shoes. Mt. Borah baggy shorts and mtb shoes are more my speed.

BTW, speaking of membership in the "real cyclist" virtual club, and speaking of wierd jersey of ones choice ... anybody out there who could draw my idea for a Fredwina Athena Phantasy Bike Club jersey? I'm thinking a zaftig woman on a bike, showing the seat down at pocket level, head and torso scaled down to fit the shirt, maybe a glimpse of handlebar on one side, overall impression that she's just passing you as you see her from behind and to the right. She'd be halfway turned back with a big friendly grin and a wave to the viewer and the text "on your left" overlaid somewhere, maybe on the back of her jersey. I've been trying to draw this, but can't get it right.
