I moo at cows when touring through farming areas. It's a compulsion. I can't help it.....

I don't moo at cows but I do SAY "moo" to some of them, particularly if they've moo'd at me first.

When I pass the small dairy farm on my commute it's simply "morning ladies" or "evening ladies" depending on time of day.

Careful with the voices, I hear it's a slippery slope

"Norman!"
"Yes, mother!"

Guilty...
I don't obsess over it but I do care that it looks maintained. I change my bar tape about every 6 months.

I hate to ride in the rain and usually drive on rainy days.

However, I have fenders on my commuter bikes so they won't get dirty when riding on wet roads (after it has quit raining), or for occasions when we get unexpected rain.

One of my main motivations for cycling is so I can eat more without gaining weight.

In my imagination, hot chicks are attracted to cyclists even though all evidence suggests otherwise.

Sometimes it's not so bad being green.
