Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I put the pedal to the metal and torqued my speed up to well in excess of ten miles per hour (I'm guessing), and soon dropped him like a bad habit.

My manhood confirmed, I rode with renewed confidence the remainder of the ride.
I can top ya! I dropped a 10 year old on a big wheel the other day. It was tough, but he had to stop at his boundary at the neighbors driveway, fortunately.

I'm going to start hanging out in the touring forum, where they don't worry about speed.
It sounds like you got your legs back already, way to go.

And you finished the ride standing up, because your incredible gonads wouldn't fit on the saddle. . . . right?

You couldn't take ME, even if I WAS pulling a trailer, cuz I can hit 10.1mph.............with a tailwind.
