Saddles: Huge, or giant? Extra padded or lazyBoy cushioned?

There is already a H.T.F.U. which offers survival training for cyclists who cannot handle the rigours of riding out of doors in less than perfect weather. Advanced certification is offered to those who can demonstrate an ability to ride in sub freezing temperatures without whining.

Weather Extream Isn't Restricting Doing Outdoor Stuff.

My proposals for mini-courses:

Accessories you can attach to your handlebar, stem and seat post. Work that old bar tape--patching with electrical and duct tape. Don't replace that worn chain, the mechanic will just make you buy a new cassette, too! Put a riser stem on that aero frame! Save money--installing riser stems without longer cables! How much gunk will your cassette hold before the chain skates over the cogs? Grinding cleats down so the dealer has to drill out the bolts to install new ones. Creative ways to attach an under-the-saddle bag. Creative ways to attach crap to the outside of an under-the-saddle bag. Leave the pump and tire lever in the garage--you don't know how to fix a flat anyway! Beer jerseys that are sexy and sleeveless. TT clip-ons--do you want a pillow with that? It's OK if I ride in the middle of the road--I've got a mirror!

Said like a director of promotions for the curriculum department .

Thank you. I have a Masters in education.

Where do I sign up?! :fred:

How to pay for the school loan for this school. Even though the nation's federal school loan guarantee already hit the 1 trillion mark.

This would be a class that none of the "for profit" schools would offer. But a Fred School certainly would.

I will open a Denver campus in my garage. The rent is cheap, and I have about 7 bikes that would qualify as trainers.

I think FRed U is missing:
