See, now that’s why we call you guys "up-tight uprights"

That you would "spurn" the ‘bent rider just for being differnt? No wonder you feel you actually have to give RULES on how to say hello to fellow riders. Not all of us recumbent riders are looking for attention – some of us like to be comfortable, look around at the scenery we pass and say hello to folks however we want. Be they fat or not

Any chance you’re riding past Mac and Jack’s brewery? It’s in an industrial looking area and would surely produce some aromas.

A bagel shop? I’ve wondered that myself. I’d have expected bagels to smell more like bread and less like cooked yams, tho.

Okay, let me get this straight. Your ride past some industrial-strength warehouse that’s probably manufacturing battery acid, and you detect the aroma of COOKED YAMS! Then you drift off into a potentially interesting semantic detour, and you end up asking about synonym for MOUTH FEEL (which, I believe, is in fact the very term that food industry insiders use).Next, taking a stab at self-depricating commentary, you label yourself NUTS. Do I detect a pattern? "Yams," "mouth-feel," "nuts"… Are you obsessing about food, both consciously and unconsciously? (I guess that "yes" is the correct answer.)My solution: stuff yourself with good fats. Advocados, olive oil, almonds, salmon. This will signal your body that you’re not in starvation mode, make you feel full and satiated, slow down your digestion, and let your body begin metaboliizing your fat stores. Yes, it’s counterinituive to eat more fat in order to lose more fat. But give it a shot. It might work as least as well as your current method. (And I didn’t even sleep in a Holiday Inn last night. )

No, no, no. You left too much out, and you have too much wrong. Here’s an example: if I wear a bike outfit and go out on my road bike, roadies always acknowledge me. But if I hop on my touring bike with shorts and a t-shirt, most roadies ignore me. You left out status. You left out crowded traffic. You left out groups of riders. Rewrite.Also, recumbent bikes are cool. Have you ever ridden one?
