The cure employs /vehiculus humanpower recumbenti/, a
naturally-occuring orthotic isolated and refined by a number of craft
natural remedy companies. By replacing the traditional upwrong bicycle
with one of these devices, and after a short period of adjustment for
the growth of new "bent leg muscless", the rider is left with no
recurrence of former problems.

Those types are what are known as 'gimps', best just to stay far
away from them.

Find a real group of cyclists, and soon you will forget about those
sad people.

LOL

You forgot the psychosocial side effects: Laid back, looking upward, hands
casually draped over bars forces rider into a befriending position not
normally seen in society since television and air conditioning eliminated
the front porch glider.

Hence, rider finds himself in unexpectedly pleasant predicament of receiving
and giving twice or more as many friendly waves and greetings as he once
gave from the hunched over "boxing stance" of a road cyclist.

What we have yet to explain though is the threefold reduction in harassment
by motorists. Some plausible hypothesis are:

1. Novelty of recumbent orthotic device distracts angry motorists.
2. Not waiving one's hind quarters at drivers insults them less.
3. More friendly position is returned in kind.
4. Higher speed of recumbent transport results in less diver frustration.

/Upritis Nonbentii/ is a newly recognised condition affecting certain
cyclists. The symptoms include:

- wrist pain
- shoulder pain
- neck pain
- back pain
- saddle sores

A number of palliative measures have been produced over the years,
including gel gloves and gel saddles, but these have only ever served
to mask the symptoms, not cure the problem.

New research from the University of Falmouth has shown that a
permanent cure can be effected. There are a few mild side effects,
such as inane grins and the tendency to utter "rebel yells" when
travelling downhill, but those treated in the main report complete
satisfaction (except when climbing long hills) and no return of their
symptoms.

The cure employs /vehiculus humanpower recumbenti/, a
naturally-occuring orthotic isolated and refined by a number of craft
natural remedy companies. By replacing the traditional upwrong bicycle
with one of these devices, and after a short period of adjustment for
the growth of new "bent leg muscless", the rider is left with no
recurrence of former problems.

You obviously mean the ones riding the up-wrongs, right?

Uh, Fablioso, this IS about REAL riders on REAL bikes and not the imaginary
ramblings of wanna-be's . . . like you 🙂

Please though, do tell us of another team and another race where there is
absolutely no mention of you . . . at all . . . again (or should that be
"still"?)
