35 reasons that give you away as a cyclist

[CorsairMac]

So we have a young man here from Korea on a 3 month work assignment who went to Austin for 2 days. He brought me a postcard and told me he had been in Austin to which I replied (very tongue-in-cheek...ya'll know my warped humour) Austin??...Lance Armstrong lives in Austin, that's a dream trip for cyclists who hope to get a chance to just see Lance riding around.

The poor young man looked at me very blankly and said "that's nice"!

apparently there was a radio spot this weekend that said:

you might be a cyclist if an afternoon ride involves leaving your zip code.

I figure with bigger cities we needed to change that to:

you might be a cyclist if an afternoon ride involves leaving your zip code, township, city, county, area code, and/or your state!


and this mornings very upclose and personal observation:

you might be a redneck cyclist if you use foul languague during extreme situations!

I'd rather admit to having a potty mouth than redneck tendencies!
