Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Maybe if he had a not NOT SKINSUIT kit and the TT helmet, he could have hung, but I still think I'd drope him again. Plus he had discs breaks.

I was riding along, minding my own business, probably holding a steady 350 watts since it was a recovery ride, when an enormous man in a backpack on a mountain bike pulled out from a sidestreet right in front of me. I moved out into the lane, passed him like a fighter jet missing the cables on a carrier, and then realized people in cars were taking pictures with their cell phones of the guy behind me.

That's actually a true story. Yet more proof that he's a crappy bike rider. It also appeared that he was wearing compression NOT BIBS under a pair of baggy NOT BIBS.
A friend of mine beat up Derek Jeter in high school.

I ate ice cream on Billy Joel's boat when he wasn't there. The owner of the marina invited me. He also owned the local ice cream shop.

US Congressman George J. Hockbrueckner (R New York) was riding a tandem with his wife in a parade on Long Island as a reelection stunt. I jogged up and offered my opinion on some bill going through one of his committees and he said, "Get away from me you idiot."

All NOT BS.

Does BS stand for bib shorts? So you did all of these things in NOT BIBS? I don't believe it.

Also, I think that the number of BF mentions should be prominently displayed on Strava member profiles. Yea or nay?

I almost dropped George Hincapie in a race when he was 16.

Did you report it? Funny, I don't see your report.

Mods can't be everywhere. If you see something, say something!
