Seems accurate to me since he wore "The Costume" to hang out with friends.

I love pearls because it mocks a ton of things that other strips don't dare to.

I think this accurately depicts how some of my non-cyclist friends view my enthusiasm and advocacy in a very humorous way.

I've shared it with friends.

I fondly remember the looks on my colleagues' faces when they were talking with the new receptionist just outside my office door, when the receptionist started complaining about cyclists in the travel lanes on narrow roads, and I stuck my head out the door....

I saw that Pearls comic this morning and was going to post it myself...

Hilarious!

(It's especially funny because my name happens to be Jeff.)

If you can't find humor in the satire, you are what is being satirized...

That's a great "Pearls"! . I don't get the first yahudamoon though. What am I missing? The second one just wasn't very funny. IMHO of course.:D

10speeds are for wusses and have no health benefits. True bikers only ride rigid SS fixed gearing brakeless steel framed 29ers.
