I'm not even going to admit how uncool I am after reading that

I'm pretty uncool, too. Notably the "Cat 5" mark, or whatever they called it. Oh well.

I am afraid of slipping and hitting my head on the counter.
What's really un-cool is that he calls a sports bra a "jog bra"

I love it! And pretty much every point he made had a lot of truth to it:-) It made me smile!

Hey, I think if you look good enough to ride in a "jog bra" then I say go for it!
His use of the term was rather grating.

He obviously has not read our endless musings on what on earth to do with "the girls" and bib shorts.Where do the straps go? Inside, outside, where do I put them?

Well, duh...... yeah!But for heaven’s sake, take it off when you walk into the coffee shop! Are you afraid of slipping and hitting your head on the counter?
See, they don't warn us before we get into this sport how Difficult it really is!Your jersey must match your shorts, which must match your arm warmers, which must match your socks.
Well at least I'm doing one thing right.Tan lines are the proud mark of a real cyclist.
Hilarious article, thanks for the laugh!

Hi Sarah,
So funny. Thanks.
about the clipping out at the stop light. totally cool if you can stand still. Not so cool if you are barely able to track stand and being jerky on the bike.
And totally uncool if you come to a complete stop, track stand and proceed to topple over. However, if you start laughing your head off then you regain some coolness because then it means youo had a momentary lapse of whatever.
Okay to come to a complete stop, track stand for few second, have a look of disgust, unclip and dismount. It says, I'm sooo coool that I don't have to show off. And I'm not wasting my energy to show off.

Guess he'd frown upon the Keen commuters I just ordered. I can't wait 'til fall so I can wear them with striped knee socks.
Sometimes my dbf laughs at me when I'm about to head out for a ride. When I get that reaction, I know I look perfect.
Jersey must match bibs, which must match armwarmer? Someone spent a little too much time in Garanimals.

That's perfect!
I had to disagree with him on the "century jersey" part. Hey I worked HARD for my DMD and Death Ride jerseys and I am NOT afraid to wear them!DH on the other hand is the full kit man these days. Right now the Capo stuff is his fave. Everything has to match.
