Serious questions
 
Why do guys with hot pink socks keep passing me?

Where are these people coming from?

Will hot pink socks make me faster?

They must be from the EF pro team. :lol:

They're going faster than you.

They're coming from behind you.

Probably not.

rosefarts 08-06-19 08:00 AM

Is it a cult? If so, do they have a pamphlet or flyer?

PepeM 08-06-19 08:03 AM

Good socks definitely make you faster. More colorful = more fasterer.

Seriously?

ksryder 08-06-19 08:13 AM

Pink comes from red + white.

Red = faster.

By the transitive power, therefore Pink = faster. Maybe not as fast as red. You should get some red socks.

But not The Red Sox.

Because then you'll just be an insufferable loser for 80 years before you win something. After that you'll just be insufferable.

Eighty-six years. But oh gawd...they're a train wreck right now. Should have been sellers at the trade deadline (and gotten David Price's a$$ out of here).

They can't sell their pitchers, because there are no buyers for that overpaid trash.

They should have traded Mookie + J.D.. Mookie wants to become a free agent after the 2020 season, and J.D. can opt out of his contract after this season.

People wear socks? That you can see? How am I supposed to tan my ankles?

then you'll need shorter socks.

I ordered a pair of blue socks. Got an email saying they were out of stock in blue, if I'll accept gray instead they'll their in a free pair. Sure. When they arrived the free ones were pink.

Have you been passing me!?

It's always the same. I'm cruising around at an ok speed, a group of two blows past me like I'm going backwards. The older one that doesn't look as fit is wearing hot pink socks. It's not the same guy each time. By older, I probably mean my age, I keep forgetting that I have birthdays too.

If I give chase and draft, they spend the rest of our time together pointing at every inconsistency in the road greater than 1mm. Usually within a few minutes they turn off some other road that doesn't make alot of sense to ride on.

I'm left all alone with nothing but questions.

Seattle Forrest 08-06-19 11:04 AM

I'm actually pretty bad about pointing things out. I mean like if there's a junkie running at us I'll say something, but if it's a pothole or whatever, I assume everyone else rides these roads too...

indyfabz 08-06-19 11:07 AM

Riding with a pink sock sounds painful.

Nonsense.

Being too high is about problem #4 for those socks.

Pirkaus 08-06-19 12:01 PM

Will pink socks make you 4mph faster, without changing your fitness?

Me too and it has to be a really crazy tweaker. Junkies are slow. This a.m., a guy got apologetic about not pointing out a poorly filled, perpendicular, cut in the pavement and I said I don't call anything that isn't up to the hub.

Sort your shoes then check into socks.

The absolute best shoes on the planet are on sale now cause an absolutely bester version came out.

rosefarts 08-06-19 03:01 PM

I do think those giro shoes are sexy. As a formerly fast and definitely no longer fast guy who already takes himself too seriously, I think I'm going to go ahead and keep the ones I have.

Has anyone else here seen a prolapsed bung hole?

jamesdak 08-06-19 07:45 PM

Sorry, I don't mean nothing by it. But when I ride my pink bikes with hot pink socks and hot pink jersey I just have to go fast. Otherwise my mancard will be revoked!
