Go Lance Go

October 11th, 2007

So it happened again… the first time I chuckled.  By the tenth time it annoyed the shit out of me.  This time it was three guys in a Four Runner.  They pull up beside me (I am on my road bike) and they start shouting “Go Lance… you’re #1 - can I get your autograph”. Hah!

I give them the look like “grow up you boneheads”, they stop for a minute, speed up, and start taunting again.

Next time you feel like jacking with a cyclist… don’t do it:

  1. I am just trying to keep my body fit
  2. I am just trying to keep my mind fit - after 30 minutes of trail running or an hour or so of cycling i get into the meditative zone and clarity abounds, you’ll see maybe
  3. I am trying to keep the environment fit
  4. I am trying to keep my wallet fit - save about 200 bucks a week
    [some day when you grow up, have a family, and become a productive member of society, this will all make sense]
  5. And finally, not all cyclists have tooth picks for arms and struggle to tie their shoes.  I for one only started cycling after sacking football and wrestling in college.  You may catch a like cyclist on a bad day (like the day after a root canal), catch a red light, and get the five-finger autograph ;)

ps… okay, maybe it’s just punishment for all the stupid shit I did when I was a kid. Okay, I guess I can laugh again.
