There is an older gent that sometimes comes to the Rapha shop ride that wears his bibs on the outside of his wool jerseys. These rides typically have ~30 people. How do you look around and not notice you are the only one wearing your jersey like that? You'd think that after struggling to get things in and out of your jersey pockets the thought, "man this seem unreasonably difficult..." would occur. What is the etiquette here? I've contemplated rolling up next to him to say something...
I think he's just trolling everyone.

sometimes people do seemingly weird things but have their own (possibly also weird) justifications for them.

You should have seen this coming, and avoided it using your sixth sense.

Yeah, I am. I'd have thought anyone on the ride would be wearing 500$ in cycling chic kit, have bikes that are way too expensive, shave their legs, and try to look like they're suffering all the time. You know, in case there was someone with a b&w camera in the group taking photos.

So far, I've seen this twice. Both times it was older (60+) hairy guys (like silver back gorilla hair).
Sometimes, it's very tempting to stop and tell people they're doing it wrong.

Last night I watched a lecture on PBS by a dermatologist from Cal State San Francisco about cyclist's skin problems. He is a rider himself and a lot of what he spoke about was skin cancer but he also spoke about road rash and poison oak.

The other possibilities have to do with why old men often walk around unzipped:
a) Senior moment
b) Urgency

My wife's having fun with accessing her Itunes account. I have never heard such stupid security questions. Not only do they not have answers, but would you remember them 2 years fron now ?
"What is the first beach you went to" .......... "The Beach" ?? My parents told us we were going to the beach
"What was the first thing you learned to cook" ......... Toast ??
"What was the first name of your favorite high school teacher" ........ I had a favorite ??
"What was the first name of your best friend in high school" ......... I had 1 specific best friend ???
"What was the first name of your first boss" ........ "boss" ?
I don't even know what my first job was.
Anything account related with itunes is a huge pia. Funny how all our financial accounts are easier to get into and change.

Who in there right mind would get involved with a contractor that has no credit...Apparently the president of my condo board...
Funny, when our sanitary went kaboom and my wife looked after it (she works for an architectural firm and does contract admin) everything went smoothly...
I swear we are surrounded by idiots...
