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

I have lost a bad knee. If found please dispose in a conflagration.

My pre-op knee caused so many problems. I used to go for a ride then go into a huge depression due to coming home from a 20 mile ride in agony, then realizing that my cycling career was probably over.

My doctor is a genius.

I'm wondering who in his right mind would steal them?

I have a pretty good idea.

His name is Bob, and he is a diesel truck mechanic, and he likes cheetos.

I recently saw a Fred in a Discovery Team kit with your love handles. It looked wrong.

I give Fred credit. He's not camped out in front of his TV with a bag of chips and a beer. Maybe in six months his love handles will be gone.

Wash some crabs down with some beer and they'll come back. I got mighty frustrated this past week. Was making significant progress and then WHAM! Beer and crabs wiped out two weeks worth of weight loss. Of course it took me 20 years to get those love handles in the shape they are in, so I guess it's expected that it'll take some time to lose them.

Last year when I got home from a tour, my wife asked me what happened to my bum, it's gone? I don't know I replied, I must have lost it along the road somewhere.

Very true, it's just funny to see someone obviously out of shape in professional cycling attire. To each his own, of course, and if that's what motivates him, more power to him!

Alas, ye have passed on the love handles of couch potatoism onto a new owner. May the new oener wear them with pride, and bring forth honor to the decades old sport of couch surfing.

May the remote control always click true, and may it's range reach to the heavens and beyond, so that others may experience the skill and finesse that comes to all channel surfers who wear their love handles proudly.

May you, giver of the sacred love handles, reach excellence on your bikely journeys, and may your chainrings guide you to nirvana.

I salute thee!
