In the early days, bicycles were blamed for making riders—especially women—crazy

I cannot speak for other women, but although I don’t think I’ve mown down any fellow cyclists lately nor cruelly tortured any pets, cycling has made me crazy. Who in their right mind would knowingly subject themselves to hanging out with a bunch of sweaty dudes (extra cooties) in Lycra?

You did hit a deer though…

Yes, but the deer wasn’t on a bicycle nor was it my pet. That said, according to the Red Cross since I grew up in Germany in the 90s, I have mad cow disease. This is the most likely explanation for my cycling insanity

I’m crazy for my woman, who is an accomplished bicyclist. Does that count?
