Alright, I get it. It's summer. The TdF is on Versus. You have a bike. Great.
What this means:
So you get the trusty steed dusted off and think that this is the perfect time to start commuting...or just go for a ride. Awesome. I'm with ya.
You've carefully picked out the absolute best cycling clothing from 1995 and are proud that you can still put it on...kinda. Yay. You look like the Michelin Man...but you're on a bike. Okay.
What this does not mean:
This does not mean that your spandex-clad ass has to treat every stop light/sign as a f*cking sprint-off-the-line-elbow-throwing-extravaganza that will end with you huffing and puffing 20 feet later, badly enough that you can't even hold a f*cking straight line.
It also does not mean that you need to instantly grab everyone's wheel that passes you. When someone passes and you think to yourself, "Hey...I need to get on that." LOOK FIRST YOU DOUCHENUGGET!!! There might be others that don't want to get sideswiped by your profusely sweating exterior...
Finally, it does not mean that you can take up the entire trail with your 5 riding buddies because you want to feel that you're in a peloton. It doesn't work like that. Never has. Never will.
That is all.
