It's the same down here, particularly when you carry panniers ("bags"
to the lay people). Actually I'm so pro about it that I don't know if
I look like a VIP hobo or eccentric millionaire. I like to consider
myself an ECCENTRIC PENNYLESS, but some people fail to get the
distinction between that an hobo, or between that and a millionaire.

I have even made a t-shirt that announces that in bold letters, so
there's no confusion.

Pretty soon gas will be a lot more expensive that people will think
that those of us who have been riding bikes are, the opposite of
"hobos", totally wealthy folks...- Hide quoted text -

I've been praying for that for a long time, but God seems to be on the

At the risk of asking silly questions, aren't you BOTH "Comandante
Banana" AND "King Of The Apes?"

Aren't you, then, arguing against yourself on this forum?

There's a pill for that, you know....
