NOT for the easily outraged
To my cycling pages at
http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/B...20CYCLING.html I have added a humour page, direct link http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/B...%20HUMOUR.html I'm afraid it is not for the mouthfoamers, the fulminators, the whiners, the hard men, the lefties, the environmentalists, the conservatives, the contrarians, the morons, the owners of Brooks saddles, riders in the dark, motor pacers, goatshead specialists, and suchlike; for them a page of humour about them is a tautological insult, which is itself a tautology, as the ooh-ah bird said when the diamater of the circle it flew decreased to a black hole. Sorry. Andre Jute http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/B...%20HUMOUR.html |

Sorry. Andre Jute http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/B...%20HUMOUR.html Since the men are carrying their bicycles, does that not make them hikers? Of course, even carrying a MTB off road will likely offend Mikey V. (which is not a bad thing). Of course, the term "iron steed" will likely offend the proponents of other frame materials, particularly Kentucky Bourbon man. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |
