I can assure you, after comparing tanlines with my dad, who’s retired and goes out golfing a lot, his tan lines are several orders of magnitude sillier than my cyclist tan is.

I know:

SPF 80 on quads, NO sunscreen on shins. Then they at least have a fighting chance…

I must confess I read your blog mostly to look at pictures of cute guys… buy, you shaved your legs?

Ew.

Elden…you are not alone. Even the pros have white limbs http://twitpic.com/h2ayd (but they don’t flex as well as you!).

I once saw a guy at the circus ride his bike upside down, with his hands on the pedals and his butt in the air. You should try that. Yep.

Elden – I saw your Tweet and came to see what the deal was. Cy deserved it. Sheesh. Some people just gotta give their opinion instead of keeping their mouth shut or in this case, fingers off the keys. I was so speechless that I didn’t know what to say until I saw the following post in your blog and it was worthy of a RT :) (for non Twitterers, that means that you repost a post). I couldn’t have put it better than “keighty.” Rock on Elden!

Personally, I don’t think “freedom of the press” translates to “freedom to be a prick.” Fatty, ypou rock the socks off those of us with intellect greater than a carrot. Way to keep on keepin’ on.

Thanks for making me laugh out loud Elden! I needed it! Anyone who rides a bike or knows people who ride bikes or rides bikes with people who also ride bikes completely gets this!

As for the shallow commenter, I imagine that person has never experienced even .01% of what you and your family have endured. I hope that person never knows the gutwrenching trauma of heartbreaking loss.

Why do I say this? Because I have survived several heartwrenching losses of people I love…and am still trying to survive the loss of my only sister a year ago…and I know how much you have to have a sense of humor and fight to keep it in order to get through life. I also have learned the hard way that tough times show you who can hang with you and who can’t…and the people who really care about you will get that you have to sometimes be tougher around the edges than before and quicker to turn to humor. It’s called survival. And you are surviving.

So I for one…and obviously one among many!…say to you do whatever you have to that helps you survive. And may I add to the many saying we’re glad to see you can still find some humor after such loss.

That said, man, get some help for those sunless shins dude. Seriously. They need to come with a warning…especially on a lit computer screen. LOL
Peace+Blessings as you Ride On….
