I'm so slow it doesn't matter if I have air in my tires I still go the same speed.

Seriously, when I go on a day ride, I count on 10 miles/hour. A metric century takes me a little over 6 hours, including stops, eating, rests, etc. 20 miles, 2 hours. 30, 3 hours. You could set a clock by me.

The State of New York has barred my Class F rides (negative MPH speed), due to time warp concerns. They didn't want to re-name their famous tourist attraction to Niagara Climbs.

Albert Einstein is the guy who figured that out. I wonder if he was riding his bicycle at the time.

This is not meant to hijack the thread, although it seems to me that it is OK to hijack a zombie thread.
These comments are very clever. Some of you would be a big improvement for Letterman. Probably any of you would be a big improvement for Letterman.
But I digress.
The ultimate simile for good climbers is "He climbs like a scalded monkey".
I need similes for really bad climbers. When I approach a big hill on group rides, I encourage people to go ahead of me while they got the chance because "I climb like the Titanic".
It's not bad but I know there is better material out there.
Can you help?
