How come bicycle clothing looks so silly?
Actually, I kinda *like* men in tight, black panties... but, my
question has always been: How do you wear that stuff in public and keep a straight face? I recall when a decent bicycle cost a day's wages and you could ride the damn thing in cut-offs, a T-shirt, and sneakers. If you were *really* high-tech, you had a Bendix two-speed kick-back. It was heavy, noisy, and difficult to ride; however, real *men* rode bicycles in those days... and no self-respecting faggot would have been caught in Spandex! Nowadays, bicycles cost more than an African wage-earner can hope to make in his or her lifetime! There's something wrong here! Why can't I buy a decent friction shifter anymore? Indexed shifters are OK until they wear a little bit, then they're useless. I can't adjust my front cage with an indexed shifter... .... but, mostly, how come I gotta wear these goofy-looking panties? I simply cannot be seen in public wearing these things! I'd sooner ride nekkid! Eat yer heart out, Nitla! Jones |

Eat yer heart out, Nitla! Jones You tell 'em, Jones! What the devil is wrong with riding in a linen shirt and khakis or, this time of the year in the northern hemisphere, in cords and a flannellete (brushed cotton) workman's shirt? At least in those you don't look like an escapee from the circus who stole a bike for a getaway vehicle.

I recall when a decent bicycle cost a day's wages and you could ride the damn thing in cut-offs, a T-shirt, and sneakers. In 1968, a Schwinn Varsity was around $75. That much per day works out to an annual salary of $19,500 (assuming a five day work week). In 1968, the average annual wage was $5,571 (according to SSA) -- which is $21 per day. So you had to work almost four days to get a Varsity. The current average annual wage is $40,405.48 -- or $155 per day. Now, for $600 you can get a pretty sweet bike like http://tinyurl.com/6sevh8 (plus an additional 15% off!). Crappy bikes were very expensive back when. You can get a much better crappy bike for less inflation-adjusted money today. -- Jay Beattie. |

Teachers made about $18k/year, for example. Why can't I buy a decent friction shifter anymore? * You can. They're called barcons. |

Most teachers only work about 200 days a year, the rest is just weekends and long holidays. |
