Stupid Hurts

You may be just a little bit hungry if you have ever purchased a frozen [tag]burrito[/tag], and then proceeded to eat it without unthawing it first. My face still tingles just a little from that stunt.

During my [tag]commute[/tag] home from work recently I pedaled past a [tag]spinning[/tag] class going on in the window of a gym and there was a load of people inside spinning feverishly away on the stationary [tag]bicycles[/tag]. Something just strikes me as being inherently wrong with driving a car to go ride a stationary [tag]bicycle[/tag]. I just don’t have the patience to go no where fast I think. But there here in this window there was easily 30-40 people sweating, pedaling, and staring at me stare at them. All of us probably thinking, “now thats just silly.” Even with all those people in that class I almost never see people actually outside riding their bicycles. I know about the [tag]Birmingham[/tag] Bicycle club, but they are a little to organized for me. Plus they ride almost exclusively outside of Birmingham (which just seems like false advertising.)

Maybe there are only a few people here who prefer blue jeans to [tag]lycra[/tag]. I know there have to be at least a few other really laid back bicyclist types in Birmingham. Unfortunately most of the people I meet are either guys with milk crates strapped their squeaky [tag]bikes[/tag] who more often than not reek of alcohol when we stop to talk. Or elite racers riding $2000 plus dollar bikes that are just dripping with carbon fiber who are more concerned with their split times than chatting it up at a light. (before I get another angry email. There are exceptions to both categories. Every now and then I find a drunk racer)

But it is fun to sneak up on the racer types wearing jeans and having them sneer at me before I try to outrun them. In [tag]Orlando[/tag] I managed to drop a few. the looks were priceless.

Earlier this week while riding around in the work truck with one of my team mates, he points out the window and says, “did you see that girl?” My response was. “Yeah, her seat is too low, but I wonder what kinda shifters she is using.” It took a bit before he would talk to me again.
