That is diabolical and the more I think about that situation, the funnier it gets. I picture someone trying to hurriedly wipe but not knowing if they are clean. Or someone waddling with their pants down and and fumbling to the doorway to find the light switch...Like Clarice Starling but with pants around the ankles.

We are the only tenant on our floor. Other floors have learned this and employees of other companies ride the elevator to our floor to use our bathrooms. My confession, we have a whistle. If you do not respond to the whistle, we turn the lights out when we leave the bathroom, leaving you in a dark stall.

I'm not young, but have two older brothers who are fitter than me.

What's the difference between oral and rectal thermometers?

I used to cringe in school every time the teacher would say "We're going to have an oral test today"- figuring that one day, we would have the other kind- a rectal test!

And it only took 10 minutes :-)

They're proud of me for being true to myself.

I eat more on days that I don't ride.

Your high-vis jerseys will make you stand out like crazy to cars. That's the point of them, and I have a lot more confidence on the road when I'm wearing them.

Also I find Strava to be pretty accurate. Just divide the distance traveled by your moving time in minutes, then multiply by 60 to see your average MPH. If you're doing 17 then you're way, WAY better than me as I've only gone about 14 average once, and I've ridden over 1,200 miles in the past year. If you doubt the reported distance traveled, then simply check it against a wired or wireless bike computer. Just make sure the computer is properly set with your actual tire's circumference.

*I will not ride without my hi-vis retina-burning jersey.
*I have a mirrycle STI-mounted mirror- and it does not embarrass me in the least!
*I prefer a low cadence.
*I have a $300 Bikesdirect.com bike...and I'm impressed by it.
*I bought a Klein, just to see what a good bike is like...and I now rarely ride the BD, even though there is no real performance difference.
*I wear street shorts, 'cause, although I like the look of bicycle shorts, I friggin HATE the feel of spandex!
*I ride 100% solo, as I don't like people in general...and tend to like most cyclists even less!
*It's taken me a year and a half to lose 35 lbs. and I can't seem to lose the last 10, despite eating like a bird!
*I spend too much time on this forum, when I should be doing other things.
*I'm not opposed to carbon forks.

I test rode a full suspension mountain bike today and liked it alot, but couldn't afford it.

Since I ride solo, I have to content myself to farting in Walmart.

I also ride solo, but wanted to make a reference to a current thread for kicks. Cropdusting in Walmart is dangerous - you never know who is coming around the corner.

It's the only reason a sensible man would join a paceline in the first place.
