The BF Roadie Handshake

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

given the average riding skill of those on this forum, perhaps we should pick something a bit less... crash inducing?

What are you talking about, dude? Everyone here averages 24MPH going up 10% grades into a 15 MPH headwind. If we could recruit a cycling team off of BF, we could win the TdF so easy.

As you approach another cyclist, grab your crotch like you are some Joisey guido checking out a gal. If you get a crotch grab in return, it's another BF member, if you get a funny look or a wave, it's just some Fred you can ignore, and if you get punched in the mouth, oh freaking well, that's what you get for listening to one of my hair-brained ideas.

Tried it today. No reaction from other cyclists, but I think I aquired a new habit.

Here is something scary. That was my first car. I paid $50 for it and it lasted me a year and a half. I parted it out and took the AL block to a recycling center. I made a profit of $250.

What a chick magnet.

First thing I thought of. Sorry, I grew up watching rastlin' in the 80s.



These aren't the original Four Horsemen. They were Ric Flair, Arn and Ole Anderson, and Tully Blanchard.
