Why no mutant alien road bike riders?
I'm talking about the ones with the big eyes, green skin and sometimes the ones who actually have a road cycle exoskeleton. Meaning they have a built in road bike as a part of their bone structure. I've read about them in such known magazines as: "Alien Sports," "Space Cycling," "Wormhole Racing," and "Alien Powered Legs" and from what I have read they are quite nice, but alas there are always the negative few that prefer "probing" to talking. Either way, I'd rather meet one, one of these days. Have any of you an explanation as to why we don't have more aliens on the roads? We've already talked about why there are no Spanish, Asians, white people, black people so I thought I'd bring up the next logical thing; Aliens.
Thanks for the replies, and hold nothing back. The truth is out there

I don't think they'd have a chance in a race - they'd be too busy probing the other riders.
The same problem pcad has...probing them for their strengths and weaknesses that is.

Maybe their quads are not well enough developed. Or short femurs. anyway, you spot one , I'd like to join em along with ET and take a jaunt over the Moon. probably need a heavier framed Mtn bike with shocks, due to low gravity and the need for bulky space suits.

Why? Because all the evil bike shops have formed a union to stop selling road bikes to mutant aliens. Just like they did to all the other groups mentioned in the "Why no XXXX road bike riders." This time they went too far. The government plans on interjecting on behalf of the mutant aliens with a $700 billion bail out plan to assure there are an adequate number of road bikes for them. However, since aliens take on the shape of humans within 24 hours of landing on earth, you will not be able to tell who in your pace line is an alien unless, of course, you know the secret password.
