How embarassing. There was I thinking I was a man when all along I'm
not. Why didn't anyone tell me you had to weigh at least 80kg before
you were one. Someone should have stopped me going into the toilets,
and at least a girlfriend should have told me.

Remember to take the 50lb pack off before getting on the scales!

Do people really cycle with 50lb packs?
