.... lazy ass coward.

Bicycle Weenies are not at all interested in exercize.
Their sole interest is in disrupting others and looking sweet.

In fact, they spend thousands on the lightest, most effecient bikes and the slickest clothing, and the cutest pointy helmets, to reduce the effort they put out to as near zero as possible.
Exercize?
Bullshit.

I ride a bike for exercize.
It is an old 35 pound baloon tired "Paperboy Special". It has one speed.
When I ride I wear jeans and Doc Martins and a sweatchirt.
I am there to burn calories, not look sweet.

I ride on wide residential streets with low speed limits and little traffic.

Like possesion of spandex by men, riding on streets that actually go somewhere should be outlawed.

I'm less interested in exercise than in getting to work on time and in one piece. But incase you missed it, the coloquy between Laz and I ended in hugs and friendship - try reading the whole thread.

Your post indicates you know very little about proper training. I'd like to see how your inseams feel after riding 100 miles in jeans. You can probably pedal on your one speed and burn a few calories but some of us have higher goals like racing in World Championships. Were not out to "burn a few calories."

The original paving of roads was at least as much due to the bikers as to the cars. Our system of roads owes a lot to the bikers. The bikers wanted paved roads so they could go somewhere, just like many today legally commute. Demanding that the bikers not actually go somewhere is about like saying the second ammendment only applies to hunting purposes.
