My buddy used to ride up a steep hill onto the campus we went to, one hand on his 10 speed's handlebars, the other smoking a cig. I don't think we were viewing it as exercise though, just transportation.

I smoke a cigar while biking every now and then.

Saw a chap cycling not too far from where I live using a Respro mask. Fair enough, it's London, he's a commuter; I use a Respro mask to commute.

However, he proceeded to stop on the bridge, pull the mask down and whip a cigarette out of his jersey pocket. Classic.

I'm an older guy Copperhump and I would give my left nut for a smoke after a ride.
I quit 20 yrs ago.

You sound like an ******* when you judge other peoples misfortune/habits.

That's not what they say.

+1. also, +1 to the smoker making fun of you in your spandex.

Clear off the road old(glucosimine enhanced) fart.
Will be staying in your hood the end of July.

+10. Very elitist ******* type comment from Copper.

yeah. damn young people with their finding things amusing. i served my country! blah blah blah

get off my lawn!

I've been on plenty of rides, fast ones too, where the riders stop to pass a bowl around a couples times. Maybe the guy was just riding for pleasure, no workout intended.

The Surgeon General is going to be issuing a warning about second hand cycling. Just you watch.

cutting his losses?

Have you ever listened to motorists? Clearly we ARE *******s.

Smokers smoke, drinkers drink, dopers dope and religionists, well you get the idea. What part of a free society do some of you not understand?

did this the other day. a 60 mile ride whilst stoned is good times.

That is only yelled by Cleveland motorists.

That stuff will turn you into a vegetable.

Please stop calling it "tights" and "spandex".

you junkie! ive seen billions of my friends turn into crazed dope fiends!

its a gateway drug! you will be shooting up heroin and splaying your legs for sheckles and euros if you take that path!

over 1 million people overdose a day on marijuana!!!!

do you even know where it comes from?

The ground?

I smoked for about a year, it stopped being enjoyable, so I quit. Sorry if it's elitist to think smoking while exercising is dumb. And if he was commuting somewhere, I think he was lost because where he was at in the park is not a shortcut to anywhere....except that part of the park. I agree that we all look dumb in tights though. I found the whole exchange pretty funny but I think the smoking part is just plain stupid. I won't apologize for that. Jeez, if the guy was over there humping a goat and we made fun of him, there would still be somebody on here calling me elitist. That's why I love good old BF.

That's acceptable because it just sounds classy.

Also classy.
