		<description>You have to do two pounds in less than two days fatty. That&#039;s not good for you...

I can use the hundred bucks towards my new wheelset.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Clydesteve&lt;/b&gt; - &lt;i&gt;when I pee while riding &amp; wearing bib shorts, I always roll up a leg&lt;/i&gt;

Personally, when I pee while riding I dismount and go behind a tree.  My trackie quads deny me the ability to roll up the knick leg and my pizza enhanced gut prevents me from having enough free material to pull the bibs down... (pull the bibs down as in mine and Al&#039;s case don&#039;t involve removing the shoulder straps but simply hooking a thumb into the front and stretching).  You&#039;re welcome for the visual image.</description>

		<description>There is a very funny?, ironic?, possibly crude run-on url in the contextual ads at the top of the web page.  

The first is the link to Assos wear from competetivecyclist.com/(shortened version of the brand name favored by Dr. Michael Lammler). This url is right next to another link for Shimano gruppos that sounds like it has to do with inappropriate modalities of interacting with bikes. 

Just saying.</description>

		<description>Al M: &lt;i&gt;Shimanzumi, naturally, is working on improving the design: The Dura-Ace ST line will have electronic climate control along with &lt;b&gt;bib shorts that actually pull themselves down&lt;/b&gt; if you want to take a pee while on the bike. &lt;/i&gt;

Dear Al, when I pee while riding &amp; wearing bib shorts, I always roll up a leg.  May we assume from this comment that you stand up on the pedals, and, while racing no hands, remove jersey and pull down your bibs, in order to relieve yourself?  

Wow! Those are intense skilz! But given the opportunity, I am not sure I would want to watch. Of course I do slow down and gawk at car wrecks...</description>
