Sleaze Riding

[cyclingfool]

I may never think of the term “Sleaze Ride” in quite the same way again, now that I found this YouTube video.

On a related and totally semantic note, how do we define sleaze ride? Is it a sleaze ride if I ride 1 or 2 miles around the office grabbing lunch and running errands on my break if I’m already putting in 15 miles commuting that day, or does the shortness of such a ride make it a sleaze ride regardless of whatever other miles I might be logging that day? IOW, is a ride that takes your FS points for the day from 25 points to 26 points a sleaze ride, or is it only a sleaze ride if it’s your only ride of the day and it’s a mile long, netting you eleven FS points for the day? Just curious.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

How do you say sleazy in French?

My wife was once upon a time fluent in French but not a native speaker. She says “un tour qui déprécie le cycliste” would be a decent albeit long translation. Slang is always tough to translate.

Google translation: “Frauds disgusting French team”

It’s not a sleaze ride if you buy something at the store or visit a friend down the street. That’s a Neighborhood Utility Trip (NUT).

And how can I help it if my office just happens to be 1.2 miles via CABI from Foggy Bottom!

I think it was written on the bathroom wall if you had taken the opportunity to look. 😎 French Team rules the sleaze ride!!!
