Well, That Explains A LOT.
What I’m Currently Reading
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
This intriguing combination of fantasy thriller and moral allegory depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities — one essentially good, the other evil — for the soul of one man. Its tingling suspense and intelligent and sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature reveal Robert Louis Stevenson as a novelist of great skill and originality.

As a person who likes cycling, but is in no way a cyclist, I recognize that attitude from my cyclist friends. And yep, they actually are superior – I’m thinking it’s got something to do with wearing incredibly tight-fitting, headlight reflective clothing. Either that, or from inhaling all those exhaust fumes.
Well, if you were to ask me or hubby, we’d contend that the fact that they wear those ridiculous skinsuits is a mark in favor of the argument that cyclists are, at least mentally, inferior.
Exhibit A: the Pee-Wee Herman Inspired Skinsuit. http://www.podiumcycling.com/cycling-jerseys/pee-wee-herman-skinsuit
Not to mention they seem to enjoy (?) riding mere inches (not exaggerating. inches) away from cars and trucks traveling 50+ MPH. But maybe I should check my premises. Maybe they’re all masochists.
LOL, that’s too funny! I refuse to wear the gear, or to pay the crazy-expensive prices for them, but from talking with my friends, some of whom compete, I do understand WHY they wear them….lol…I just will never understand why they have to be in such weird colors. Oh, and I also do understand the padded shorts…definitely.
OK, that’s the last straw. We’ll find out just how superior all the cyclists in my town are today….riding the wrong direction along carriageways and ignoring traffic lights, when they meet up with the bull bar on the front of my truck. I’m fed up with ‘em. I’m off to harvest mahself some cyclists.
YEE-HAW! How many didja bag? You’ll have to stencil a row of bikes on the side of your rig.
I did post designs for an ‘errant bicyclist harvester/crusher’ on my blog a while back. High time I manufactured it and started cleaning up this scourge.
You’re an inspiration to us all.
