Bikes: better than I deserve
Sorry to be a stickler on this but (a pet peeve) I won't likely ever be a road "biker." "Bikers" hang out in biker bars, have "bike" rallies, and hold an annual event in Sturgis. That's not my thing.
More to the point (perhaps) is that all groups or distinctive activities have their own traits and foibles, and it's not difficult to find the humor in that. This is hardly the first effort to lampoon people who ride road bikes.

I'm still not sure it wasn't meant to have been a genuine documentary.

I love a good laugh at myself, ourselves and such serious, obsessive dedication to the activity. That's just ASKING for it.

I saw this on one of my other bike forums. Pretty funny and very true. Don't show this to the 41 group or we'll get hate mail forever.

After three angioplasties and four stents in three months I consider myself blessed to be be here...let alone riding!
