The Onion Bicycle Content
I used to visit The Onion on a regular basis, but now visit only once in a while. Today, for the first time in recent weeks, I was surprised to see some bicycle related content on the site that had me chuckling. Hopefully, some of you good folks might find it funny, even if it is a bit morbid.

The absurdity of things I deal with on a day-to-day basis sometimes makes The Onion more real to life that I'd like to admit. 
I have seen some of the Portlandia episodes including the one that had the "Put A Bird On It" skit. Funny stuff indeed.

The Onion is great -- I think of this one every time I venture into the Pro Cycling/Doping forum: https://www.theonion.com/articles/non...e-france,2268/
