Cycling Humor
Just some light humor on a Friday:

"Local male bicyclists are up in arms about proposed new legislation that would ban form-fitting spandex bike shorts. Mike Funk, president of the Foothill Bicycle Club, led an angry contingent of male bicycling enthusiasts—all wearing tight, black shorts, as they staged a “ride-in” on Main Street last Monday.
"Funk, who looked fetching in his Xenon bib shorts decorated with green DayGlo reflective piping, invited onlookers to examine his shorts, calling special attention to the ergonomic elastic seat and the moisture-managing mesh insert. Many observers averted their eyes and some made involuntary sounds of disgust...."

I'm envisioning Verna Tillis as resembling Ruth Buzzi on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. She was the old lady wearing the hair net who always clobbered Arte Johnson with a large handbag.
Seriously, these people don't seem to be helping their cause with this public demonstration.

Pine Bluff Arkansas attempted to pass an ordinance banning baggy pants. Yeah, they look like hell, but is that any different than banning wearing cycling clothes? Fortunately, that attempt died just recently.
