Gah. fatty, if you had a mid-term for your blog this semester, it’d be the only one I was even near prepared enough for. Ho-ly cats. The last couple weeks really sucked. In fact, please do have a mid-term, so that, at least in my head I can raise the ol’ GPA.

No sour grapes here. Had I won, I would have had to graciously recuse myself:1) I’m an imposter, a poseur. The only bike I own is an exercise bike, and it’s recumbent to boot. 2) I majored in philosophy.3) I collect teddy bears.4) Club Cube.Keep up the good work, my friend. This blog is an absolute hoot. It’s nice to see your humor remains as twisted and your writing remains as sharp as ever!

Slightly off topic – is has to do with the bike snob thing. I realized yesterday, as I was picking up a bike maintenance book at the book store, that I’m a bike maintenance book snob. I chose a book in which they fixed nicer bikes. Not necessarily better pictures, but nicer, more expensive bikes in the pictures (even though I don’t have a bike anywhere near as nice). See and I thought I wasn’t that big of a bike snob.

I would like to add my take on increasingly frequent comments that the fat cyclist is not fat anymore.Who’s to say who’s fat? You the reader? The LBS who replaced FC’s titanium seat rails with chromo ones and put 36 spoke wheels on his bike ? Now that FC is famous and attracting non cyclists, I am getting rather annoyed at the accusations he is not fat. your right! hes not fat. He’s the fat cyclist. Two different things. Definitions;Current USA definition of Fat – Not getting winded walking up the 6 steps to Denny’s on the way to scarf down your ‘Moons over my hammy’ . Fat Cyclist – Any cyclist having issues with weight. One who gains it with horrifying ease in the winter and never quite loses all of it. The fat leaves a mark, spiritually and physically. The fat clothes in the closet with mayonaisse stains, the bibs with the elastic stretched out permanently in the gut area, the loose skin hanging over the elastic band in your underoos, the mental struggle within yourself, etc..So end the calls for changin he name. We know he is not fat, but he is the Fat Cyclist.
