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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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...

Riding with a pink sock sounds painful.

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.

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?

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!
