The Catrike looks like a lot of fun but don't you get a lung full of
transmission smog if you ride one in rush hour traffic?

The Catrike looks like a lot of fun but don't you risk getting a
lungfull of exhaust fumes when you ride them in rush hour traffic?

When you go to France you'll note that if a waiter comes up to an overweight
person he automatically addresses him in English. This is because fat people
are usually 1) Americans 2) Brits or 3) Germans.

Wow! The change in % obesity figures since 1980 is really quite
shocking!

Indeed. I'd not be surprised if Western world was heading towards an
American figure of around 30% clinically obese. On the plus side, I
never liked pies that much anyway, so the fact that Angie and Eric ate
them all is not a problem for me...

No Frenchman could win the Tour de France seven times in a row. Only
an American can do that.

No fat person could even compete in the Tour de France.

Fat people are not allowed to compete in the Tour de France since they
do not have the lean look the racing commission is looking for. I have
fat friends who could give Lance a run for his money.

Lift the ban on fat people in cycling then watch the fat bashers weep.

LOL! That's hilarious, just hilarious!

I am pretty much the fastest cyclist I know, riding round London these
last few days not *one* cyclist has passed me and stayed in front.
But Lance rides *up mountains* faster than I can ride on the flat!
You just have no idea of the gulf between pro riders and us ordinary
mortals!

Now *that* is slow. (Typical up-mountain speed: 15 mph or less, no
matter who you are, what time of year it is, or what you're on.)

Typical speeds are much faster than that. Alpe d'Huez is one of the
toughest mountain climbs out there. It is a 9.6 mile climb through 21
switchbacks. Armstrong completed it in 39min 42s for an average speed
of 14.4mph. He does more normal mountain climbs a good deal faster than
that.

What is the height gain on that stretch.

Just want to know how slow I really am :-)
