I seen this stuff on the road the other day that made me sick
It was this guy riding his bike
and he only went 15 miles and it took him an hour
then he had to quit because he was tired
man what poser, but the news didn't say who it was
Come to think of it...his name was, it was me
Damn!

Hmmm.... is that bright as in bright, or a day-glo?
After all, Assos sells a bright yellow jersey.
But not neon lime.

Well low and behold is a cyclist in a bright yellow shirt and lycra, in front of Starbucks, feet propped up, glasses on, and coffee in hand. I just had to chuckle. He was the ultimate picture of relaxation!

Come visit the westside of L.A. if you really want to be be in the midst of ultimate poseurs. they're everywhere, and some are even my good friends. i know lots of guys with uci weight limit breaking bikes with wheels that cost more than 2 of my bikes who've never entered a race. it's ridiculous.

And on fashion advice: do I hand in my poseur credentials because Fasso Bortolo no longer exists? It's a really good Nailini....

I have seen that bike too, I was told the handlebars are called ape hangers, It makes my arms and shoulders tired just watching him ride that thing.
