My women friends who post sports bra selfies can keep doing so anytime they wish. They look great. And those same women are just as quick to post their bruised, bloodied and broken bone selfies when they crash, which is pretty danged often because they are fearless.
Best I could do this week was a selfie with my freshly cut throat after surgery. Didn't go on Strava though. Doctor wouldn't let me ride my trainer in the post-op recovery room. But it's going on my first official post-op ride this weekend. It's not too bloody, mostly just bruised.
My only gripe about Strava pix are those garish, overamped faux-HDR things with halos around everything to crank sunsets up to 11. Yikes. I'd rather see more sweaty post-workout selfies than those psychedelic sunsets.
There are plenty of other fun filters. Even though Prisma can be over the top it's occasionally interesting, especially when used subtly and run through two or three Prisma filters.

I'm proud of how this picture turned out so I'm throwing it in here along with Machka's weekly ride report thread.

My interest in peoples’ selfies is inversely proportional to how often they post them.

Ben Franklin was wrong- there are 3 things in life that are certain- death, taxes, and Timmy vanity threads that end in comedy.

Please, for the love of god, whichever internet sleuth finds the picture of Tim in a sports bra, do not post it. His hypocrisy has been noted, the point has been made, and the world will be a better place if his sports bra pic isn't posted here.

You are like some kind of weird internet stalker, following me around from thread to thread. It's really creepy.
