Here's more. My brother was training for a 500-mile AIDS ride. Some gonzo-weenie types were giving him grief for riding a mountain bike with a t-shirt and cutoffs. By the time the ride started, he gave in to wearing proper cycling shorts, and put road slicks on the mtb. He finished in good form right up there with the weenies.
Oscar, I read the funniest thing about a guy named John Stamstad, a true biking madman. Someone said about him: they all laughed at John, showing up on his "city bike," after which John "put the wood to them."
