This is why the only cycling related tattoo I would consider is the chainring stamp on the right calf.

We have a couple streets in Peoria that are back-in only angle parking, I kid you not. I don't remember that training in driver ed class.

Of course the downside to back-in only is how many people, even when you signal and slow down, stay hooked to your bumper so you can't actually back into a spot.
So it is

I had the same during a climb a couple months back in the front tire, didn't stop to check assuming it was sealed and had enough pressure.
10 minutes later forgot about it at the top and took a straight fast descent.
At the right turn at the bottom the front wheel slipped out like it was on ice. Road rash and bent bars.
Lesson learned.

I have seen that in several places during my bike travels. There even used to be a couple of streets here in Philly that had that until relatively recently.

Ever change out a tire and a dollar bill falls out? Then your brain goes, "Oh, yeah, I forgot I put that there a few weeks ago."

I've been clean shaving my head more often this year, and I've come up with a brilliant(!) idea. I think that a helmet company should design and bring to market helmet pairs for bald guys - the two helmets would have inverse venting to cancel the tiger stripe scalp tanning that I'm currently cultivating.

If I start yelling "dirt church!" and "send it!", am I automatically a mountain biker?
