Dear ollo_ollo,

The English have Pink Floyd, the BBC, Mini Coopers, and Monty Python. What do the French have besides their french fries, french bread, french kiss, and Napoleon? The French are extremely jealous of the English, and have designed their cycling shoes to go through a chemical reaction when used in conjunction with an English bike. Your feet will start aging very rapidly, until they resemble the dried up plum that fell in between your couch cushions last October. Let this be a lesson to everyone: Never ever ride your English bike with French shoes, and check under the cushions before crashing on ollo_ollo's couch.
