2. The money I spend on gear is inversely proportional to the time I
spend riding. Damn winter. Nice bikes, though.

3. The ease with which one clips into or out of a pedal is inversely

4. Get a lighter bike, carry a bigger lock.

4a The sum of lighter bike and bigger lock equals weight of original
bike/lock.

4b Lighter bike thus equals lighter wallet not reduced riding weight.

ergo: Progress/improvement is never in the direction intended.

If you start an out-and-back ride going upwind, the wind will magically shift
180 degrees just in time for the return leg.

Hey - I'm just trying to help you guys get back in shape after being slugs
all winter! Why do you think I turn the wind on you?

-The Big Guy

the more expensive and newer the equipment the more likely the
probability of getting run over by a bus

the absolute necessity for reaching the destination is directly
proportional to road debris.

i had a legal document to get in the mail under time. a twelve mile
ride to the word processor. a nice ride. i caught a ups truck
downhill and downwind going 35-38 solid on a new calosahatchee river
bridge-
a roofing nail mit roof washer straight thru the front out the back
and point the inner rim. 14 feet of bikeway and i ...
with an imploring skyward glance, i said a few words to the self
sealing tube, pulled the expletive deleted out...
and made the time. didn't even lose air.
there's a moral here.
get the pig!!!!!
