None of my old friends, "BICYCLE", infact they think were "INSANE"! I can just imagine getting all the thought's the writer had from any of them IF, I was nut's enough to ask them to "come along on a bicycle ride with us!! I mean, they all think that Wally-Mart bicycles are getting wayyyyyy pricey, the thought that I paid "$500 for my new Jamis MTB", has them shaking their heads and wanting to have me sized for a straight-jacket, so I don't hurt myself!!

I explained to him that there is just something offensive to me about the word "morning."

I can relate to that part of it.

That was pretty good. I feel his pain at passing the donut shop, though.

So true! Love the part about whether you want your skis "too long" or "too short."

I learned to ski in my late 50's and it was pretty intimidating at first...

Turns out, if you lie pinned under a bicycle long enough, doughnut-shop employees will bring you cinnamon rolls.
I must try that.
