Medical Advice to Bicyclists
It's from JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, so it must be true.

"Bicycle Face" ... I thought that was my "Oh S**t" look just before my wife made a sudden U-turn in front of me and I ended up broad-siding her and going over the handlebars.
|
Well, I certainly am not having to worry about being deleriously swift...the face, well, it is what it is.
|
Bicycle face? Is that anything like "puddin' face?"
|
|
I don't know, if someone is "watching" me ride up a steep hill, then I might just have, "Bicycle Face", LOL! ;)
|
And I guess we will lose all the ladies of Fifty Plus. As Dr. Forbes Winslow says that they run the "danger of serious bodily illness from excessive straining." We all know how delicate women are. :rolleyes:

I suffer from Bicycle body. I have so much scar tissue it keeps me held together. UGLY, but stout!
What a hoot! Great share, 150 bpm on the HR monitor, gotta watch myself. |

What about Keyboard face? They talked about that in the Dilbert comic strip. Comes from falling asleep on your keyboard

Jeez, I had no idea just staying upright required such effort. Perhaps the writer was missing the part where you put the bike in forward motion and it pretty much stays upright on it's own. He obviously made his observations of a track standing cyclist.

I'm a very dull nerves type of guy.

I saw a film ca. 1975 about the positive benefits (as opposed to negative benefits, I suppose) of cycling, and about this wonderful gizmo called a derailleur.
It motivated me to go and buy a Puegeot AO8. It got ripped off within the year by some stupid junkie (as opposed to a smart junkie). |
Maybe the reason it took so much effort to stay up was that they were riding so slowly (less than 12 kilometers per hour).

Guys, remember that this was from 1895. It appears that best bikes back then were penny-farthings. I don't think they even had pneumatic tires. Balancing on these contraptions does not look too simple.
