		<description>I am a recreational fat cyclist and a 6&#039;2&quot; 265lb clyde and I live in Miami, Florida. Every weekend I see hundreds of cyclists most of them riding their carbon bikes. The main thing I don&#039;t understand is the amount of money some of these guys spend on to save a few ounces of weight. I&#039;m not talking about the guys that compete all the time and don&#039;t have an ounce of fat to spare either. It seems the price of light weight components goes up exponentially in relation to the number of grams saved. I think you would agree that you can get a pretty good road bike for $1500. So does spending $3000 or $4000 on a carbon bike make 95% of the weekend warriors any faster? Probably not? I think it&#039;s more of a &quot;Look what I got&quot; pride issue. Bragging rights. Loose that 30lbs and then come show me why you needed to spent three times as much for your bike than I did for mine. Just sayin ;)  

Anyway, I have also shaved my legs. Why? Because I wanted to see what it was all about. I actually liked it because it felt good and I did it for a few months. It became too much of a hassle and the stubble doesn&#039;t feel too good.</description>

		<description>Sorry, I&#039;m lol&#039;ing hard enough that I have to leave a comment. I found your blog through Pioneer Woman (well, full confession, I sorta kinda saw it in the 2008 Bloggies Sports section, but my eyes glazed over and I skipped it because I have no interest in sports whatsoever. The End).

Anyway, I kept reading because I find your writing informative and entertaining, but I wasn&#039;t going to leave a comment. The thing that pushed me over the edge, both to lol&#039;ing and posting a comment, was your remark about calling &quot;So Very Alone&quot;, &quot;What if Eeyore Was a Human.&quot; That, my friend, is hilarious. And I love it. It&#039;s the best thing I&#039;ve read all week. Maybe all year.</description>

		<description>Nice, Fattie. But I think you shoulda done your &quot;before and after&quot; leg shaving photo like I did:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/bike/160211301/</description>

		<description>I&#039;m confused about this one:  

Is cycling all you think about? 
No. I also think about eating. And I dedicate a fair amount of time to thinking about eating while cycling. 

So are you saying that while cycling, you think about eating?  Or that at some unspecified time, you think about the act of eating while you are on the bike?  Or, most likely, both?  

Me, I pretty much think about cycling all the time, except while I&#039;m riding I tend to do math in my head, like figuring out how much time I have in which to ride the next x miles in order to maintain y average speed, etc.  (Yes, I confess, I&#039;m a geek.)

Oh, and my wife told me early in our relationship that she liked the legs hairy, so hairy they stay.</description>

		<description>I sometimes think that maybe the bent haters are secretly just p.o.&#039;ed that we on DF bikes have numb genitals, sore sitbones, and watch middle-aged dudes with beards sitting in recliners stroll on past us on downhills and flats.

I&#039;m a pretty big guy, and as such it&#039;s not like I have fast climbing to unpack from my suitcase of courage, and I just can&#039;t manage to ride like a man with three legs or anything of the kind... so I&#039;m left thinking that recumbent riders may have something right.

I, however, just can&#039;t mentally adjust to the idea of being in that position, and frankly I have way too many traffic lights and don&#039;t want to deal with learning how to stop and start on one.  That, and I just don&#039;t want to spend the kind of money they cost.  

And beards make my face itchy.</description>

		<description>Another great read as has become expected Fatty.

Lee, you become angry later. It&#039;s caused by all your friends refusing to acknowledge you on future road rides because of the funny bike your on. And maybe those bees in the shorts thing like Kalgrm mentions. And I&#039;m a Druid not a Marxist so don&#039;t make me turn the trees against you while riding that dirt trail. 

Peace, Love and Recumbents forever. But I will be on a DF bike once in awhile.</description>

		<description>Y&#039;know Fatty, it&#039;s kind of funny......I ride a recumbent bike (as well as other bikes) and have grown a beard for this winter.  Is this part of my my being absorbed into the recumbent &quot;collective&quot;?  Yet I&#039;m not angry, does that come later?</description>
