I droped a guy with an ironman calf tattoo on a TT bike today. That was nice.

This is why the only cycling related tattoo I would consider is the chainring stamp on the right calf.

They should toughen the test for the final step of parallel parking...

Looking before opening the damn door.

We have a couple streets in Peoria that are back-in only angle parking, I kid you not. I don't remember that training in driver ed class. :foo:

That's much preferable to the nose-in angle parking all over Austin. Which makes getting out of the spots incredibly dangerous.

Of course the downside to back-in only is how many people, even when you signal and slow down, stay hooked to your bumper so you can't actually back into a spot.

When in doubt, suspect the worst in people.

I prefer the opposite.

10 minutes later forgot about it at the top and took a straight fast descent.

At the right turn at the bottom the front wheel slipped out like it was on ice. Road rash and bent bars.

Lesson learned.

Yeah, I kept a pretty close eye on it for a few miles and paid attention to any extra bounce while pedaling, but there was nothing, so I didn't stop to inspect. When I did get home, 12 miles later or so, I couldn't even find the location of the puncture. I'll have to make a mental note of the tire pressure when I top off later this morning.

I have seen that in several places during my bike travels. There even used to be a couple of streets here in Philly that had that until relatively recently.

Ever change out a tire and a dollar bill falls out? Then your brain goes, "Oh, yeah, I forgot I put that there a few weeks ago." :foo:

Like finding a twenty in your jacket from the year before!

I've been clean shaving my head more often this year, and I've come up with a brilliant(!) idea. I think that a helmet company should design and bring to market helmet pairs for bald guys - the two helmets would have inverse venting to cancel the tiger stripe scalp tanning that I'm currently cultivating. :mad:
