Foo - Foo confession- Wow those roadie pockets are neatO!!!

I hope whoever came up with those 3 little elasticky pockets on the back of roadie jerseys at least made like a billion or won a lifetime supply of nachos or oscar mayer weiners. This really took some kind of calculated genius. I bet Merton's great grand pappy was responsible.

I seriously fit all lifes necessities in them. I was planning on going against the grain and using my camelbak, but why?

I fit all this-

A half eaten burrito- Self explanatory
Medium Mt. Dew- To keep that caffeine sugar buzz goin' throughout the day.
Wallet- To squander my moneys in bike shops and on pr0n.
Phone- To holla at ma girls while ballin' down the street on my pimp ride.
Camera- To take pictures of Siu while she ain't lookin' I mean... uhhh.. :p
Knife- To fend off evil pirates tryin' to steal my multitoolz.

In conclusion, I'd like to say, Vote for Siu!!!!!

where do you keep your multitoolz?

In a secret compartment in my underbridges.

hehe I've ridden behind some people who have used every stretchy square inch of their back jersey pockets - wondering how the hell it all stays in there as they walk around with this pile of stuff hanging off them - I mean apples, bananas (plural), maps, extra water bottle, cleenex, bars, etc.

I've stuffed a few items in there but when the jersey starts hanging on the butt, it's time to shed a few items :rolleyes:

Another use for the mt dew, is too cool off my back when it spills all over me and my camera. Was a great plan.

@ tude, that's the point!! use em!! they are the alternative to camelbaks.

I forgot to say. Everyone, let us know how much you "fit" into your roadie pockets.

In a secret compartment in my underbridges.

Oh- so that's what that is... :eek::eek::eek:

Oh- so that's what that is... :eek::eek::eek:

Is that a tube of goo or are you just happy to see me.








:D

The absorption into roadie-dom is almost complete my son.

Hahaha. I commute. I carry:

A Bulging wallet in the center pocket. It keeps the back of the jersey weighted down, so's I don't get a cresent-shaped sunburn just above my waistline. :eek:

My massive keychain in my left pocket. I hope I never crash and land on my back. That thing's gonna leave a mark!

A knife in my right pocket.

If I'm carrying my HAM radio, it goes into my center pocket on top of my wallet, and I clip the speaker-mic to my collar.

Everything else goes into my trunk.

The absorption into roadie-dom is almost complete my son.

I think it's a requirement that you can only max curl 2 lb weights to be a true roadie. I can curl 40, therefore I'm just "a cyclist".

What do you think the final straw will be?


Installing a mirror on the helmet? Referring to that "other" cycling venue as the Darkside?

Credit Card, Insurance Card, ID, a 10 or 20 if I have one on me, and my keys. Cell goes in front right pocket, Ipod goes in front left pocket (or in case of kilt, they both go in front pouch)

If i have to carry anything else, its time for a backpack/panniers/rear rack bag thingy, any or all of those 3.

I'm surprised, no one else carries half eaten burritos in their pockets? What a buncha weirdos.

Nope, just an occasional bananannana I forgot about and sat back on. :(

NOOO...that can't be..that's not true...that's IMPOSSIBLE!

All that bulk will shortly be moving into your legs, my son. Patience. *rubs hands together*

This is the roadie figure I'm trying to attain.

Mtbikers don't need no raincoats.

Tubes? I don't get flats, I'm tough like that.

Gu's? Mt dew is all the energy I need.

Live animals? I like em dead, and in my burrito.

No roadie worth their salt eats only half a burrito.

Another use for the mt dew,

Resealable bottles > can.

Lesson learned ;)

Those pockets aren't worth a (bleep) on a recumbent. Unless you like laying on lumps.

you could wear your jersey backwards

Resealable bottles > can.

Lesson learned ;)

Wasn't a can.

oh and bent, just tuck all your junk in your underbridges, or have your wife sew on tribellypockets.

Pheard, why didnt you just back up to the soda fountain and try to fill a pocket, could have saved a cup.

or wear a camelbak like a real man. Fill camelbak with Dew or beverage of choice.

hey now. lets not get carried away here. roadies wearing camelbacks, that is just crazy talk.

Why don't you stick a banaynay in it Tman.

FYI my first road ride I wore a camelbak with 2 bottles in it. I didn't know roadies don't stop to drink, they just bend down. So I kept trying to reach around(shaddup :p) and grab a bottle.

I still wear it though, but it's nice to not perspire on your back.

because my jersey would have wicked it all away. That's what jerseys do. Wicked it right into my undies.

undies? We roadies don't wear undies.

underbridge!?!?

I hope whoever came up with those 3 little elasticky pockets on the back of roadie jerseys at least made like a billion or won a lifetime supply of nachos or oscar mayer weiners. This really took some kind of calculated genius.

The real genius was when jerseys came with two or three pockets low in the back and two more in the front right at chest level. Those were going the way of the Mohicans just about the time I first got into riding in a serious way (early 1970s), but my first couple of jerseys still had front pockets. Those jerseys went to their greater reward many, many moons ago, unfortunately.



A half eaten burrito- Self explanatory

Jon, having seen me in person, do I look like the kind of guy who has ever had a half-eaten burrito that wasn't about to become a fully-eaten burrito in the next 12 seconds? I mean, hey, it's not easy maintaining this girlish figure. :p

actual rip from my blog

<You may be just a little bit hungry if you have ever purchased a frozen burrito, and then proceeded to eat it without unthawing it first. My face still tingles just a little from that stunt.>

http://stupidhurts.org/?s=you+might+be+hungry+if

so no i dont carry burritos

Nope, just an occasional bananannana I forgot about and sat back on. :(

After a race, I was talking with another competitor who had crashed. He pulled his jersey off over his head, and we all had a good laugh upon seeing that the banana in his back pocket had been pureed and was now hanging like a water balloon.

Wow. So far I have only used mine for water, Larabars and lip balm. Impressive!

Eh???

In a secret compartment in my underbridges.

underbritches?

Eh???

Oh nothing... Just my lame attempt at a joke suggesting you do a YouTube video applying the lip balm - to yourself, not Cypress! :eek: Carry on your normal Fooness, nothing to see here.

Note to self: think jokes through more fully before posting...

Ahh, up where the sun doesn't shine then.

In that case I don't think you have to worry about you multi tools.
