    I listen to music most people hate, and like giving dirty looks to men who wear brown flip flops.

    At the Starbucks, and the Starbucks, and the Starbucks, and the Starbucks?

    Or you could watch/listen to this ;)

    “Here’s a thing about the Olympics. It’s basically moved artists that usually write about songs about love or parties to switch their artistic focus to things like jumping and defeating other countries. Take this from The Chemical Brothers, which is basically a pinging dance track about men chasing each other on tiny bikes wearing super-tight clothes.”

    I live in the extremely fashionable Extremely West End of Alexandria (no, not Fairlington, I’m not that fashionable) and commute to the Extremely Southeast End of Penn Quarter. My sign is the Crab, my condiments are Old Bay and Melted Butter, my other sign is Caution: This Vehicle Makes Frequent Stops. I ride too slowly to poke aflapr with a stick.

    WABA also announced a Confident City Cycling class coming up this Saturday 7/28 – https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/451/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=75496

    I think I’ll roll by tomorrow and see if there are spaces left – I liked it a lot the first time I took it and I want to practice some of those drills again!

    I’m going to call everyone cycling by me with no call “ELITE” today and see what comes of it. No more of my sarcastic “yes, I’m on your right” or “nice call,” but it will be total, “ELITE!” This will be awesome. Watch out MVT ELITES!

    I vote for a nice non-sequitur like “CHEESE!” or “WALRUS!”.

    Let me guess…Avid BB7 discs? They sound like a train whistle from one of those 1940’s war movies?

    I wish. Those would be worth more than my entire bike! :D Nope, just crappy cantis with 19-year old pads. :P They are approximately as loud as a train whistle though.

    (Although I did scrub my front rim and sanded the pads on Saturday so hopefully that helped, I’ve just been too sick to go test them out.)

    Whoa, I just looked him up on Wikipedia. Quite a character. He definitely should have gone into figure skating instead. And I thought this year’s LiquidGas kit on the TdF was bad.

    Can’t believe some folks considered Cipollini to be a sex symbol. Yuck.

    Well I guess when your last name is “Little Onion”, your only other option is to become the Lion King :D

    But they’re perfect for Rex Kwon Do. No one would want a roundhouse kick to the face while you’re wearing those bad boys.

    Those ARE a roundhouse kick to the face. Or at least the eyes.

    I got a package from Planet Bike yesterday!

    I told them to surprise me and just send me something small, so they sent along a Blinky 3H and some Captain Safety Super Fun Reflective Stickers that I will put on my fenders if I ever get the @#$% things installed :P (I’m wishing I’d ordered the fenders from them!)

    Rock on, Planet Bike!

    But football and wrestling fans (and athletes) sometimes wear Zubaz. Hard to get any worse than that.

    I’m going to pretend that that is a DayQuil-induced hallucination and I didn’t actually see it.

    Now someone needs to do some math. Either divide “likes” by time on the forum (I do not believe Kel has been here all that long???) or miles in the National Bike Challenge – and I bet you would come up with some even more interesting numbers.

    In the 97 days I have been on the forum (since April 20), I have liked an average of 5.61 things per day. Also, this is my 300th post. I talk a lot. Except at happy hours.

    And that, dear children, is the real reason why cyclocross was invented. :D

    Hey! It’s relatively cheap — maybe it could be the forum jersey? (One of the reviews even states, “Probably the best cycling jersey on the market.”)

    That IS extremely magical. It could only be bested if there was a Three Wolf Moon jersey.
