Hot r Not

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

Used this same tactic with watches, and plan to keep it in my arsenal with my cycling hobby.

If there were a prize for posting something that is intentionally designed to be not hot you would be in the running. But since there isn't, you have only wasted band width.


And now that you have made your statement, please move on and leave things to the big boys.

Photo aside, the bag alone disqualifies it. That aside, it's simply not hot in any way, shape or form.


Can I get a witness!?!?

In general, white bikes matter. Just not that one.

1. That's not how the game works. Your opinion of your own bike is wholly irrelevant.


2. No. No photo of that bike will make it hot. It's a run of the mill Giant that, I will add, has an unappealing slope to its top tube.


Thanks for playing. There are some lovely parting gifts waiting for you back stage. Unfortunately, none of those gifts is a hot bike. You will have to come up with one of those some other way.

Do you seriously call someone a "blockhead" with the intent to dissuade them from hitting you with a car?

Of course not silly! That's what the reflectors are for, so I don't HAVE to yell!
