The Bike Commuter Alphabet. A is for...
 
Air Hankey. This describes the action of a cyclist who efficiently uses air current to blow his or her nose into the air and away from the body. Generally, the nostril is pointed back and to the left or right, depending on the obstruction. A move that must be practiced to be perfected, the veteran can remarkably leave no trace on clothes or hand, and can adroitly direct the flow up and into the path of close following cars. (See Also Snot Rocket).

You wear pants with legs long enough to get lube on?

Because people who don't bike commute are jealous of all the fun we're having.

L is for lube, something I wish more of the people who live around me would use on their chain.

SlimRider 10-12-11 11:57 PM

"M" is for maneuverability and the survivalist mindset that cyclists must acquire, if they are to avoid road hazards and survive urban street craziness!
