It may come to a complete surprise to you, but this very forum has a couple very outspoken fashion ‘critics’ when it comes to ‘cycling clothing/kit’. Even if they don’t see you wearing it, they will be happy to let you know what poser you are, or aspire to be.
I am taking up a collection of cutoffs, old t-shirts and flip flops for them.

The next morning I woke up in the loony-bin and was imprisoned against my will for two weeks because they claim I was a "danger to myself." Tried to take a garage nap, but my gd nosy neighbor called 911 on me. I just can't win.
My new riding buddy is Fidel, but I can't do 60-milers with him like I used to with Nena. Fidel is not as smart as Nena, but it's still nice to have a super-domestique to draft all day long who doesn't complain about it.

His crew call him "Fiddy", but the ladies call him "Fidelicious."

Also he's a motorbikin dog.
How big is Jax and how much does he weigh?

That's my previous dog, Nena. My druggie ex-gf sadly absconded with her up to her brother's place in the Seattle area. ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)

Jax is 28 lbs., and surprisingly long.

Jax is short but long.
He's really smart, and might understand 'STAY' in a new context. I'd need a big basket, or a trailer, I suppose. Don't want to do a trailer though - couldn't see him then.
Any tips?

Doesn't that last sentence support their claim that you were a danger to yourself?

We are all a danger to ourselves.

There's a big difference between those things and the situation you described.

Of course they can't. I've found that out the hard way a few times. And now I have a stack of medical bills I'll never be able to pay, (now there's something to live for.)

I respectfully disagree. Some're quicker'n others is all. Is a person's life their own? Are we not the Land of the Free? Cannot people make their own choices?

Everything will kill you eventually. Die doing something fun.
