"The Top Ten Ways You Can Tell You're Not a Serious Cyclist"

Number 10:  You wear a pink helmet!

Number 9 :  When a car passing in the opposite direction is driving straight at you, you crowd over and yell obscenities instead of playing chicken!

Number 8:  You steer around flattened skunks instead of squishing through them!

Number 7:  You slow down and look both ways before you fire straight through stop signs and red lights!

Number 6:  You listen to the Mamas and the Papas while you ride, and sing along with California Dreamin!

Number 5:  You don't wear a multicolored shirt with a pouch on the back and covered with corporate logos!

Number 4:  You wave at all cops and all farmers pulling manure spreaders!

Number 3:  You don't try to jump the railroad tracks....and yes I've seen it done...both wheels, both tracks!

Number 2:  You leave your bike in the garage instead of beside your bed

....and the Number 1 way you can tell you're not a serious cyclist....

 You stop and get off your bike, rather than pee down your leg and into your shoe!

100 km ride---3hrs, 20 mins
