Ironically your a cyclist, the only thing worse is golf!
You mean commercialization of the sport?
It seems like the "in" thing now. Even the overweight guys here at work are buying $3000 bikes. |

Well if they are getting out and exercising on them, whats the gripe?
I bought by first road bike in '93. I got out of it about '96 and got really fat between '97 and '00. I bought another road bike and dropped 40lbs. I'm on my second road bike, and have a cyclocross and mountain bike. I'm not into fads. It beats the shit out of running or sitting in a gym. |

Closing in on thirty years of law enforcement, and I hear you on that one. Try being a new years eve baby and then work New Years Eve. You get to meet some of the most precious people. :pitcher: :pitcher: |

I went on a Holiday ride along once with a buddy of mine back in Arizona. It was Memorial day IIRC, and it was a mess. All drunks, all night. Fights, stabbings, passed out in the middle of a busy highway and no idea how he got there....etc....
Anymore I prefer to work on the Holidays. Hell, on Christmas and Turkey day we have less traffic, despite the higher passenger counts. |
