Here's the dope tattoo you get when you picked up cycling 2 years ago and "found your life purpose".

Not sure she would like me to share a pic but she has a Kokopelli riding a bike with ying/yang wheels. She designed it.

I often have a partial chain ring image (from grease) that looks like a tattoo on my inner right calf. Good enough for me.

There is a guy at work with the Hurley logo tattooed on his neck. Maybe you would want to go hardcore like that and get the Specialized, Trek or some other corporate logo indelibly marked on your body. Sell skin like sheetmetal on a NASCAR fender.

The tattoo fad is out of control. I got an Airborne tat in 1986 after I went in the military. Back then they were cool, not many people had them. In the 90's they went mainstream with the millennial's and now everyone has them, even girls. Now I don't want mine. When something turns mainstream it stops being cool. But man, the way so many people are completely covering their arms and crap today is horrific. And neck tattoos, my God. The worst is when I spot a very pretty girl, and then I see how she destroyed her body with a freaking tiger or something running down her leg

Got it because I am tall and feel like a sasquatch/gorilla when riding.

Because a woman's body is there for your personal enjoyment, is that it? Does it get any more dysfunctional, misogynistic, and backwards?
Consider: we are now as far away from 1981, as someone in 1981 was from 1941... that's (roughly) where this mentality comes from, and it can stay there.

For me, the first I'm-getting-old gut punch was seeing my graduation year on the "you must have been born on or before this day in XXXX to buy alcohol" sign at the liquor store.

When I was 35 I got carded at a grocery store in Cortez, CO, where I was staying after a bike tour. I had food and a bottle of wine. Went to pay with a credit card and the nice old woman working asked me for ID. I asked out of curiosity if it was because I was using a card. She said it was because of the alcohol, which didn’t even cross my mind. She looked at my license and said “Oh my. You’re the same age as my daughter.” I smiled and thanked her for the compliment.
