Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

He's probably one of those guys who claims 2.3% body fat and a 35 bpm heart rate.

Took me several looks. I think he's wearing his bib shorts on top of his jersey, like overalls.

Until it was pointed out in one of the posts, I couldn't understand what was supposed to be funny. I still don't think it's funny.

Looks like the guy that has the bibs on incorrectly might have shaved legs...the guy on the L obviously does not.

Gotta luv it!

maybe he got the idea from all those Colorado Cyclist or excel sports catalogs. You know, in all the pics advertising bib shorts, the guy is wearing them so you can see teh suspenders. If they do it, and they are the pinnacle of all style (assos you know), then maybe we are the ones doing it all wrong
